Is there a way to edit Afl Live PE so its harder?

[melbournemartin]

on hard mode i just won the wizard cup beating essendon 136-38 on a 5 min qtr game

i kicked i think 8-10 supergoals :O (telstra dome has no wind so i just boot it from 55 and it bounces in goal square through the big sticks)

it was so bloody easy

perhaps if i play friendlies against AAT with all my B grade players and only kick points i might have a challenge

It gets harder in the actual season, although not to the point where you'll lose too many.

You could play missions, and play your worst players.

Or remove all players with a speed higher than 8 from your side.

Firstly, I have enquired with Acclaim as to how I can edit the stats, they said they couldn't help, but if I knew much about coding (and had the right software - like a compiler or something) I could easily figure it out.

Just using the game itself, three things I do is:
- never use the sprint button (makes it way too easy)
- use camera on 'close' setting
- set players to about 80% offensive (they start to peel off more, is closer to the real thing and if you make a mistake the computer can find players in the clear more and score goals a bit more often)

I would love to use sprint more, but let's face it, until the computer starts using sprint as well there's just no point. The AI is not aggressive enough, and you just run off from your man far too easily.

The second two I'm happy with, the first it's a tiny bit more absorbing playing in close and the second, if you watch the radar you notice that the players don't stick to each other like glue as much and it gets a bit closer to the real thing. Players in the open etc.

You'll still win games easily, but all up the game might be a bit more fun.

Use your feet

i knew the game would be easy n all, i only bought it coz it was cheap on PC (50 bucks)

also the goalkicking.....i have never missed from a set shot...just sometimes not made the distance

i hate playing at telstra dome coz ya never miss goals on run or from set shot with no wind....i wish they brought back afl 99 goalkicking...that was a challenge atleast. also didnt they have some sorta thing in afl live 2003 that made kicking a bit harder?....like ya have to push the button when the flashy thingy turns bright or something

i kicked 9 supergoals this morning with premiership edition :O

I know exactly what you mean, but if you like the idea of playing AFL where it is actually a challenge, try these things and that's what you'll get!

I played with the above on 70% aggressiveness last night and got thrashed by the Bullies. The sweet spot seems to be around 65% / 70% for a challenge - you just don't man up well enough and a lot of turnovers cost you.

The real shame is that if it was hard to kick set shots - like you had to time a few button presses like how you play a golf game - then maybe the title as is would be a decent challenge. Oh well.

i have said this before and will say it again

bring back afl live 99 goalkicking ATLEAST though im sure they could easily top if it the ****ers down at acclaim would spent less time making incorrect all australian teams and more time on the gameplay

also for those who have played with Melbourne, Aaron Davey's sprint is slower than other plays normal run

wtf why did they make him so slow

 

[nonchalance]

Lovett Murray and Dyson are also as slow as Matty Allan.

Set shots should use something similar to the ruck metre - possibly a bit harder.

If you're interested in the enhancements being discussed for the next version, check out the thread on xboxworld.com.au.

If you can't find it you don't deserve to see it!

 

[melbournemartin]

i doubt acclaim would take any of the suggestions into consideration

they didnt for afl live 2004 and premiership edition so why should they now?

Perhaps you could try wearing a blindfold. That would make it harder
