1) In your opinion what is the most realistic FOTD level? Do u have any thoughts about that?

2) And my other question is , when you play 1 season mode in career and when you pick Force Rank at the end of the season, does it change your Mental skills ,

3) and what is the difference IN THE MENTAL HIDDEN STATS between force rank and keep current force?

4) Also does Force rank or Keep current Force affects other World Tour Players like Federer, nadal, janowicz and all others, because i see theyre stats droping significantly after i finish 2013 season and keep current force for 2014

Hello,

1) I'm not sure what you mean about "FOTD level" ; I guess the most realistic CPU level is Pro-10 with Elite controls

2) yes, but Mental skills aren't used in TE2013 for realtime matches if you control your player

3) it's same than the other skills ; you can play TEM and check how they change for the CPU players at beginning of each year

4) This Force Rank choice is only for your player

Thank you, for the first question i mean, what is the most realistic, FOTD from Mental only, Random Average only , or 50/50 , 25/75 and etc. you know...
My last question is - now i've finished first season with Grigor Dimitrov and i pick Force Rank for next season, but stats didnt upgrade they actually downgraded A lot, its not logical because in 2014 Grigor has 13th place at end year, and in 2013 he has 23 it should give me more stats, because his ranking is higher and not downgrade mine...
For example i had 69 % stamina in 2013 season , if i start a whole new career in 2014 i will have 72 %, but if i start in 2013 and continue in 2014 and pick force rank my stamina goes to 40 % so does my all other stats, why this happen (is this a bug?) ? Hope you understand my question

1) Ok, you meant "Form of The Day" ; so no, I don't have idea what would be its most realistic setting...

5) Ok, it looks like a bug ; if you play with an unmodded game and if you have a saved game at end of 2013, send it to me, I'll have a look (HowTo => topic5-4587.php )

Ah no, i did this on SAM MEGAPATCH and on Maxou.. i will actually try this on unmodded game now just to check it

Tryed it with Rafa Nadal, finished 2005 season (without playing a match just skipping, it may have something to do with that?) with incredible stats, https://imgur.com/a/VmsID
And when you click pick Force Rank for 2006 - this happens - https://imgur.com/a/BoOkx, absolutely no logic, he should retain his stats, or have even higher, his ranking for 2006 is number 2 in the world also. Yes , it happens on unmodded game also Hope you find a fix, i've sended the savegame on email.

[manutoo]

I got your saved game ; I'll try to check it today or tomorrow.

[manutoo]

Ok, I found the bug : the future rankings were not initialized correctly when you didn't start the season on 1st year of the player. So you were getting the 2nd rank of the player life on the 2nd season, instead of the correct rank.

You can download & install the patch or the demo, and it'll be fixed for new games, but not for current saved games.

[iopzzza]

That is fixed but there is new problem... at the end of set i cant click on anything screen just freezes and i have to quit game and restart it.. why this happen. I am plainyg Maxou 2016 patch. Actually it happens only when i turn on the Dev Mode to quickly skip matches... how can i fix it , do u know?

[manutoo]

It's end of set ? or end of match ? or both ?

I tried on the unmodded game with fast speed from DevMod and it didn't have any issue. (with besot of 3 sets & 0 game per set, so only tie-breaks)

Could you test without any Mod and tell me if it happens as well ?

[iopzzza]

ACtually, it happens only when i set the number to a very big one 5 numbers or more, when i set ti to 200-1000 there is no problem. So may be the problem is in my pc.

[iopzzza]

And one last question, is it normal for others stats to drop signifantly after just starting the season, example : I am playing Grigor DImitrov 2013 season. Djokovic had 2300 points at the start of the season, now just after Miami masters he has about 1900, 300 points drop in 2-3 months time? Is this normal?

[manutoo]

Ok, this issue was there since v1.0j, I guess.

Actually, there's no need to do a time scale bigger than 100 because the game will not accelerate beyond that point.

I fixed it anyway for next update.


For CPU players, their skills should change only when a new year starts. There's no evolution during the year.

[iopzzza]

It should ,but its not that way, almost everyone's skills has changed at some point of the year (Downgraded almost all of the atp players except murray and fed) i guess that is how its meant to be ? Again i am playing Season mode with Grigor Dimitrov (Grigor Dimitrov aka mine stats, arent changing, only other cpu players). And in 2014(i've just finished 2013) , whatever i choose... for example nadal is starting at 1700 stats, djokovic 1800 and so on, all of the players are declining. I checked if i started directly from 2014 they will be a lot better, all of the atp players. This has to be also some kind of bug.

EDIT : My skills also changed, downgraded by a bit, hope you find a fix for this

[manutoo]

I just checked and Djoko skills didn't change for the whole 2013 year, nor 2014 ; they only changed at beginning of the year like planned.

So I guess you played doubles : in doubles, the skills are changed to reflect the player's ability in doubles.
