Hello from the QA Team - Page 2

ILCaesar · 26-03-2009, 02:11 AM

Rutter, Andrew, whoever..are you going to answer my questions?

EA_DavidRutter · 26-03-2009, 02:20 AM

Andrew - can you arrange a game with QA in the clean room with ILCaesar - so we can see what the problems he's experiencing are?

We did the same with a few people over the last few weeks - and I'd like to either see this first hand or help ILCaesar explain what he believes to be the problem with code.

Cheers

ILCaesar · 26-03-2009, 02:26 AM

Just PM me the time or whatever. I'm up late most of the time.

No I have auto-switching all the way down because it is even more annoying with it on. The player switching is just poor this year and the pause a chasing defender does when you 'accidentally' switch to them adds to the pain. I know I'm not the only one with this complaint.

This alone makes me want to chuck the game into traffic.

I dont know if we can call this a bug or glitch but why did u guys make the smallest teams weaker when it comes to the physique. They sure are weaker when it comes to technical attributes but we can find fast and strong players in small teams...

|Ash| · 26-03-2009, 02:48 AM

I have noticed it since the game have been released , juz thought of putting it here .. not sure whether it was already noted here though..

During corners [lets say Rio Ferdinand , CB of Man Utd] comes at nearpost to defend .. i dont think he is that dump in real life !! y on earth does a CB , who's 1 of the strong attribute is heading comes at nearpost to defend ? and u'll get a small player to defend against opposing team's attacker like Nani against Ibrahimovic !!

Same goes when i get a corner , never seen my CB in the box .. always 2 strikers and a midfielder .. more funny is that if u put your tactics as defensive or ultra defensive , my CB shows up near the corner flag for short corners !!

Nice going EA

have any of u noticed that ??

i think in Pes u have an option for moving ur CB to the box during corners .. not sure abt it though ..only played a couple of games ages ago with my friend ...

How to create it ??

Simple .. gift your opposing team a corner , and u might see a CB at the nearpost !! if u have a general knowledge about football CB's gernally mark opposing team's main threat in air .. not the near or farpost , which are usually marked by shorter players ..

How to find a CB near corner flag for short corner if u put your tactics defensive or ultra defensive ..

Simple .. put ur tactics defensive or ultra defensive and try and a get corner !! if ur eye sight is good enough u might see a CB for short corner !!

and just of curiosity , EA_andrew, _rutter ,_twitter , whoever u r ... do u guys really watch any football matches at all ??

and im been sarcastic here .. incase u didn't understand !!

thanks

ILCaesar · 26-03-2009, 02:49 AM

Vantaggiato is proof of this. He plays for Parma now, but I watched him for a while. He may not be that tall, but he's built like a tank. They don't call him the Bomber for no reason. I have never seen him easily knocked down, but in this game...

Is there a plan to stop off-line games against the CPU in UT to stop counting skill points towards your online rank and skill level?

This is really unfair and has ruined the online ranking system. Now it doesn't matter if you lose as you can make up the points off-line....plus it is much easier for Highly ranked players to gain ranked skill points because you gain a lot by playing the CPU (especiallu on pro & world class) compared to what you earn against easy opponents online.

Please let us know what is going to be done about this (PS3)

thanks

Yes - we're taking the servers down at 10pm PDT/5am GMT to fix it. It'll take 30 minutes. Please report any issues here.

Gameplay nuisance

When a lobbed through ball is played over your defender he'll often turn to face the ball while it's in the air. This is especially bad if you were running backwards towards goal to cover a sprinting striker, since you lose all momentum and the striker will pass well in front of you.
I even spam super-cancel while I'm running to prevent any lock-on, but they still do it!

Munraj mate. Most of us EA chaps haven't got PM's...for some reason we're not being given them...if you and Andrew have it let me know and I'll get people to PM you and you can mail them on

Non - EA people...put your gamertags here and your platform etc and we'll try to hook up...

Not sure about Andrew but I have a functioning PM box. Send anything to my inbox. It's lonely with only 2 PM's.

klondike · 26-03-2009, 09:09 AM

The following trophie bugs exist on the PS3 version. They are also present on the XBOX, so i gues the code from Xbox achivements was just sorta duplicated, and never fixed for the PS3 version.

1. When playing interactive league matches, many times the match is not recognized as and interactive league game. You can check if it is by pressing pause and look, if it says return to arena it wont count as as a Interactive league game. This makes it quite hard to win 5 interactive league games, as its tottaly random if the game count as a normal online game or a interactive league game.

2. The 10 V10 trophie. There is a bug if 1 player on eather team he selects the option wich says "ANY" when selecting his player role, it will not unlock tre trophie for any of the 20 players involved in the match.

Also i have a wish...

For the love of god could you please not make trophies wich requires 20 players to get, in the next fifa 2010. PS3 is not very good machine to arange that kinda stuff, and it prevents a lot of people who are just enjoying the game and trying to get the platinium trophie from getting it. Because it is some sort of logistic nightmare to organice 20 players. I dont mind if there are hard trophies, or if they takes long time to get, but please make it something wich can be done by one self, or a small group of RL friends.

I've never seen a big developer be so communicative and helpful before, thanks for that!

Can you enlighten on something the manual doesn't cover. What determines if a firsttime header or volley on a lobbed cross or corner goes up or down - is it a matter of when you click finish while the cross is in the air?

cooler08 · 26-03-2009, 12:59 PM

Hello Andrew, I created a thread last year about the glitches which are in Manager mode. if your QA team could please take a look and do what they can to resolve them, thanks.

I agree with chig's assessment here - player switching is a nightmare. It's become quite noticeable after the UT patch as well - with defenders stopping when you switch to them intentionally or not.

==================================================

- Advantage Rule Bug -

Description:

Whenever there is a foul during an attacking sequence, the referee will pull back play 9 times out of 10, even though the attacking side is still in possession of the ball in an ADVANTAGEOUS position!

To reproduce:

Play a match in any mode and pass the ball off quickly when attacking and if the pass is completed AND the player who passed is fouled, the referee will pull back play for the foul. This happens even though the referee will not give a card for the foul - just a FK when the attacking player, who received the ball, was put through on goal!

System: PS3 (d-pad for control)
