This is the match engine file modified for reality and adding much more interest in fm.
It changes everything in match, such as passing, moving, attacking, defending, 1 on 1, kill passing, buildup, one two passing, pressing, attacking moving, attacking switching, defending switching and so on. You won't see dumb and stupid playing anymore that all of FM series always had. All of moving and playing will be realistic or understandable at least.
All tactics can be played much better in match as real football playing or as you have imagined what you wanna watch in matches, which you wanted to see from this game and didn't know even this could be done in FM.
If you are football fan, it’s wasting of life not using this. With this one, I assure you don’t need to buy next series of Football Manager before SI done for much far better AI and match engine.

What about players just standing there and letting opposition take the ball, Is there anyway to stop this?
kingrobbo
I appreciate some people are emotive over this (I am too) I fully agree SI are blase and have been for sometime now and it isnt good enough but please no more offensive posts
cheers

Mmm that is not a problem I have noticed all that much my self in either V6, or newer versions I have tested, but I'll make sure to look out for this behavior, as I think this is something we indeed can change if it occurs to often.
We are going for realisme. Completely removing / stopping something, is not really the intention. Smoothing the edges and making it flow better, is the main key.
In real games, do players loose there brain, and just stand there doing nothing getting nicked ... but not as often as in the original ME, I agree.
@kingrobbo
I'm for sure one of those. My bad, I'll do better.
yams
Terrific work guys, looking forward to the new version no end. If you need any feedback come seek me out.

I put in a spoiler the possible changes this patch file makes, I copied over the original physical constraints file that SI used and stated" These are some of the things the patch is altering which we surely can agree affect the match engine and if not, then the ME dosent get effected by physics."
A mod removed the information and this was the reason "Removed a copy of the changed file" The file was the SI original!!
It seems they are now trying to cover SI games complacency regarding the ME.

My advice would be to enjoy the work that is being done here and let them stew on their shoddy work. The point has been made. They are well known for their censorship and protection of their product, let them be.
hehehemann
I was just trying to make the point that the physical file that is being altered must affect the match engine or else the match engine does not require physical constraints which we now know is obvious that it does.
So many SI moderators have said its not effecting the ME so either they are agreeing physical constraints does nothing (which we now know it does alter things) or are just plain lying to appease the SI developers and fanboys
RellomQ
Physics values in the ME file, 100% change the engine. We are currently testing some faulty strings, and understanding of what numbers we can use, and not use. One thing is obvious to us, extreme numbers, do extreme things to the game, not only the graphical or physics, but do stuff indirectly to plenty of other things, such as animations. Probably what they worry about us testing, and getting an understanding of, not being on their payroll. (Witch is sort of understandable.)
@update v7, is delayed for a while. The things we have learned tonight, kind of changes things, and what we can do and balance. For the better, but it will take some time to test all the strings, and then balance them to give a more realistic gameplay.

This tiny file changes the gameplay on the pitch quite drastically.
The normal ME experience is coded in a way that it guarantees a more or less a fast paced, action packed experience (if not on full view) whatever the tactics and whatever the players. This is, for the broader general userbase actually the sensible way to approach the ME coding. They experience a game that is fun, fluid and mistake-friendly.
The patched file however provides a much much more realistic experience. You will see less goals, more mistakes, more blocks and in general a much more realistic movement of the players. As a result, the game feels and looks much more realistic.
Its not perfect, there are some small issues here and there, but tbh, this single tiny file makes me question if I need to buy any other FM forthgoing. As some1 who wanted his games to play out like this (aka more realistic looking and playing) for a long time, it might be premature, but I do not see SI being able to give us such an authentic gaming experience with their new FM21. It will probably again be coded for a large, broader audience and therefore be more action football than simulation.
Which is perfectly fine by me, but I'd hope that our boys here will continue their work on FM21 should that version be a worthwhile purchase - not necessarily for the ME - but for the rest of the game. Let's hope SI wont be dicks and patch this method to manipulate the ME.
Alright, gotta go, I need to heave my lower league team out of the swamp that is lower league football.

They also hide my post replying yours. Remember guys that they are the ones who need our money not the opposite. FM without its comunity is nothing.
I think it's better to stop posting in SI forums as their moderators and admin are a joke. The are showing that they are quite nervous with this.
Just lets enjoy this wonderfull work. I would also recommend to stop the automatic updates for this game.

They are appeasing their fanbase definitely, just leave them be.

Definitely turn off auto steam updates or load the game with Internet connection off just in case they patch this. I doubt they will but better to be safe.

Yes, the page about this mod on FMScout does not open.

I looked at the FM 20 properties in my Steam library and there are only three different options under Updates: 1) Always keep this game up to date, 2) Only update this game when I launch it and 3) High priority - always update this game before any others.
I think Steam used to have a "do not update without my permission" or something like it before, but alas, not anymore. Therefore it would be quite easy for SI to just force and update on FM 20 and ram it down our throats. Unless, of course, we the players were to prevent FM 20's files from making connections online by creating a specific rule in the firewall..?

Sports Interactive must realize that FM 2020 with a superior match engine versus Football Manager 2021 and later with only a “standard match engine” is an easy choice for the real fans.
If this saga continues I will seriously reconsider buying new versions of FM in the future.
If developers don’t listen to users and implement changes that greatly improve the game experience this is a logical reaction.
I’m on FM Korea and FMNation and both have the ME fixes on their site with multiple updates, luckily SI’s influence doesn’t reach that far.
Great work by the creators of this enhancement and hopefully this community will not “bow to the mighty powers” of SI.
SI: you should have patched and updated a “ridiculous” match engine instead of forcing everyone to keep using it.

they do this often, recall the graphics debate where they took down all replica kits after MUscum complained

It would be good to see the difference.

There are other more complicated ways to do it in Steam but the best I am currently doing is select option 2 from your list and start the game with internet connection off. This stops Steam looking for updates, you can switch your internet back on when loaded.
yams
FM Scout do this kind of thing, yes. They avoid any potential controversy.

** I had this video taken down at the SI forums
reason:
" I've hidden your post due to the fact we've mentioned as before its not something we're actively looking to have supported/endorsed on the forums.
But I watched the video you linked, it really isn't showing anything that advocates for changes. Those passages of play weren't anything different from what you'd see already. "
