What everyone has been waiting for - A 2004 Footy Fanatic Update

[musha_13]

A lot of people have asked for this and here it is.

leonmagic has crated the list for all the team and I have done the fixture and put it on my website.

Any suggestion with the list can be sent to leonmagic, and any suggestions with the fixture can be sent to me.

The file can be downloaded here

Go down the page to other game downloads and click 'Footy Fanatic Update'

hope it works

 

[musha_13]

Don't download yet please.

I experiencing some problems with the fixture. As soon as it tis fixed it will upload new version.

I think I can help you out. The fixture only allows you to enter games occuring on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. So an error will occur if one of the rounds has a Thursday or Monday game.

For example just move the upcoming Lions V Magpies game from Thursday to Friday and the Monday games to Sunday and it should be fine.

Yeh I've fixed that, but I don't think it is the problem

Maybe you can download and have a look, when I start a season it keeps coming up with errors, whether I use fixture i did or ramdom ones.

It probably isn't a schedule problem then. What error are you getting when you try and start a career?

I won't be able to have a look at the files myself until later tonight but I might be able to help now if I know the exact error occuring.

 

[musha_13]

it is mainly error 9

 

[musha_13]

It seems to be working now when I don't put brackets in the Seanson Name

So, everyone can download it now at the address in the first post.

Yeah, just make sure that after you import the rosters you RESTART the program first or you get Error 9.

How can you have Mark Coughlan as a 51? You appear to be reasonably accurate with the new draftees, but you might wanna fix some other ratings. Just my personal constructive feedback.

I've only added new players, so Coughlan's rating was the original one.

The only current player's I changed were Rama, Giansiracusa and Joel Bowden, who I thought were all rated too highly, and I increased Voss, Buckley and Judd, but only by 2/3 points.

If there are any problems, just pm me and I'll sort them out.

Thanks mate!

I knew it was probably something stupid like that

 

[musha_13]

I have updated a small fixture prob which is now fixed, so anyone who has downloaded should do it again from the link in the first post

 

[lamby29]

I can't get it to work.

I've imported the file, but:

a) It's still the 2002 roster

and

b) Error bloody 9.

EDIT: Don't worry, got it working. Good job leon and co.

Yeh mate, just for future reference you have to restart the game first

Have just completed Round 6 in my first season with the new lists and these are how the new players have fared:

Adam Cooney: 4 games, 25 disposals, 1 goal
Andrew Walker: 6 games, 88 disposals, 1 goal
Colin Sylvia: 4 games, 22 disposals, 2 goals
Kane Tenace: 6 games, 86 disposals, 7 goals (very impressive)
Aaron Davey: 2 games, 9 disposals, 0 goals
Billy Morrison: 4 games, 42 disposals, 7 goals (under my coaching though)


Although natural improvement will obviously come in the following seasons, has anyone come across anything unrealistic yet to do with the ratings affecting their performance?

 

[leonmagic]

Overall best players after Round 6 for me are;

Peter Bell: 6 games, 178 pos, 8 goals
Daniel Giansiracusa: 6 games, 176 pos, 5 goals (still over the top)
Kane Johnson: 6 games, 176 pos, 8 goals
Nigel Lappin: 6 games, 169 pos, 13 goals
Wayne Campbell: 6 games, 164 pos, 6 goals

Matthew Lloyd: 6 games, 26 goals
Barry Hall: 6 games, 21 goals
Amon Buchanan: 6 games, 20 goals (WTF? This guy always dominates)

 

[lamby29]

Well I'm only 3 rounds in with the Dees (for 1 win and 2 thrashings).

New players and how they have fared:

Colin Sylvia: 3 games, 37 disposals. Best game: 18 disposals in Rd 1.

Brock McLean: 2 games, 4 disposals.

Aaron Davey: 3 games, 39 disposals. Best game: 16 disposals in Rd 3 (off the wing).

Chris Johnson: 2 games, 36 disposals. BOG against Richmond in Rd 3 with 21 possessions.

Daniel Bell: 2 games, 19 disposals.

Quite realistic.

 

[musha_13]

leonmagicc, im making a list of players I think are over or under rated and i'll will send to you.

Maybe you can update and make it sort of a total update, not just new players.

 

[mark_johnson#1]

i added the new list in and i got the error thing come up and it said the error number is -2147467259

what the hell does that mean

Is that just with the new list or with the fixture as well?

I have no idea what it could mean if you just got the list, as no-one else has had a problem.


All I can suggest is to retry installing it (the list), as there are a few errors in Footy Fanatic which seem to pop up every now and then but do not re-occur.

Just downloading it now and hope it works. I dun think it will cause i dunno wat to do but hey i will give it a shot....

I jsut tried to do it but it said sumthin about mdf. file or sumthin that it had to be so i dunno what i have to do to import it

 

[Mahama]

Have played 4 rounds so far with the Bulldogs, just checked how some of the new players are going...

-=All stats are in averages per game=-

A.Cooney: 7.5 Disposals, 1 Point (Playing on a wing, includes one 19 possession game)
A.Walker: 2.5 Dispoals
C.Sylvia: Hasn't got a game yet...
F.Ray: 4.3 Disposals (Split between wing and forward flank)
B.McLean: 13.3 Disposals, 2 Rebounds, 1 Inside 50
K.Bradley: 8 Disposals, 2 Tackles
R.Clarke: Hasn't played a game yet...
A.Davey: 8 Disposals, 3 Inside 50's


Overall pretty realistic... Suprised to see Brock going so well, I suppose the game likes the type of player he is.

Will be interesting to see what the averages look like after round 22... Will get back to ya's

Wrennyboy you just need to replace the \data\lists\seasonStats.mdb file with the one you download for the lists.

 

[nonchalance]

You've massively underrated Courtney Johns.



Seriously, though, good job. Downloading now. I'll post some serious comments when I've actually run it.
