Coaches' Box (new AFL game in development)

[macca69]

how do you find out the B&F results?

 

[Coaches Box]

I'll take a look into the 0-0 results that are occuring.

B&F results are only stat based at the moment and doesn't take into consideration of opposition performance. I currenty just give certain points for each stat, add then up and rank each player in the game.

 

[macca69]

yeh i understand that, is there any way to view the total tally of votes for my team though?

I'm going to have to create a view for this, I'll add to my list.

I also intend to show team votes, Coaches' Box Votes and awards won on the individual player dialog.

Hey mate well done on what seems like a really great game from what I've heard!!

One problem tho, and someone else has brought this up previously in this thread but the issue was never solved, i get an error that says "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". When i extract the files in WinRAR, i create a file called Coachesbox, and extract all files into the created file. Is that the right way to do it?? Please help as I really want to play this game!!!

My only request, just like macca69 has been saying the whole time, is take as much from the Championship Manager series as you possibly can. The more that you can implement from there, the more popular your game will be!! The sales results and popularity speak for themselves with CM...

Keep it up, and cant wait for updates to come!!!

i got the 0 Vs 0 problem to, it happens when a game gets stuck while simulating and if you click simulate and coach for the same game.
then it plays that game twice and the next game is 0 Vs 0

Go to

Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources (ODBC)

click Add

choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)

enter MS Access Database as the Data Source Name and then click OK.

Let me know if that helps.

Hey just one question, will you be adding reports and the name of the injuries. Also will you get real player numbers??

reports are coming, injury names is coming, real player numbers maybe not. I don't have time at the moment to fill out every players number sorry.

I will be creating a league creater/editter soon so all this data can easily be accessed and altered. This will also aloow peolple to create their own league database files that they can share.

Maybe if someone is interested in entering in every players numbers (or maybe just their teams) then let me know and I can help co-ordinate this. You will need Microsoft Access installed though as the player editter isn't finished.

sorry if i have missed it but what has happened to the voting? On the previous version I could see who got the votes but now I cant. I apologise if i have just missed it!

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Im having the same 0-0 problem and the game skipping ahead as well, and I tried solving it with your solution but still doesnt work!!

One thing Id like in the game, the option of a save game. Instead of the rolling save.


Cheers

Will you be able to select the number of teams in a league? This is a big thing because some of the country leagues that I would like to add only have 8 teams!

It's good, the health thing is interesting I always get out to good leads and just leave my players on the ground they get low health and I get mowed down.

Good realism Coaches Box.

The realism is excellent, in the second season you play the Kangaroos don't exist.

Yeah, fair enough.

But in my one they do exist, but I think its picked up a bug or something because I seem to beat Essendon every year.

 

[Coaches Box]

I've played close to 10 seasons with the latest version and still havn't come across a game with a 0-0 result. Are you doing anything special/unusuall?

With the health issue, you have to rest your players, either on the bench or up forward.
