    Impressions

    Hi Gianluca! I just got your game. Ultimately, I chose it because it fits into that sweet spot between FMH and Title Challenge (not overwhelming, but not too light either), and because you are so active at improving your game that I know it will just get better and better :) Your studio, Thylacine Studios, Toonuva Games and a few other small indie companies really impress me with your involvement with consumers of your games. So firstly, thanks for all your hard work and for being so active in the forums.

    I am really enjoying AC2, though I am terrible at it. Secondly, I did have some recommendations/bug reports/questions that I wanted to let you know about. Some may totally disagree with my recommendations, but they are just from my perspective.

    Bug:
    - When I am looking at the screen for selecting your clothes before the match (your kit, I guess?) I have encountered a bug. When I press the square between the arrows, right above the head of the player, the screen goes dark and I can't get it to change back. If I keep pressing around trying to fix it, a huge head of a player will be put in the spot of the Active Soccer 2 app icon on the main screen and little men with run behind it. It's like something from a nightmare. Not sure if I should just not press that little square about the player or what. I am using an iphone 5 with the latest ios (8.1.3 or whateves).

    Questions/recommendations:
    - Is there a way to change the difficulty in career mode? When I try to change it before a match, it stays on medium (which I am just not good enough to play).
    - Can you make a tutorial for the career/management portion of the game? I feel kind of thrown into the career with no idea what I should be doing? I guess that I spend my money on getting better players and trying to make a better roster, but other than that I'm not sure how to proceed. I have played a few management games, but the management portion of this one doesn't feel that intuitive. A tutorial pointing out important information would be amazing!
    - What do the arrows mean next to the player heads when looking at the lineup for your team? I'm guessing blue/up arrows mean better and red/down arrows mean worse, but after messing around and switching players, I'm not really sure that I'm improved anything.
    - I saw that you are messing around/fixing the sprint and select player buttons during a match. Thank you for that. I get frustrated that during a match, the other team sprints and I can't figure out how to catch them without losing time double tapping for sprint.
    - Also, sometimes I don't feel that my players will do the best job at trying to block the opponent with the ball. When the opponent is heading towards my net and I am chasing him, my defenders will just run the same direction, ahead of the opponent! This only seems to change when I take my finger off the button and try to control the cpu ahead of the opponent to change his direction.
    - Just a preference thing, I don't like how the stars look for player rating. Some stars are bigger and others smaller (I guess signifying half a star) and they cross over each other and are faded. It just looks messy. Again, just my preference.
    - It would be cool if I could affect the finances of my team in some way other than just winning matches (because let's face it, I haven't one a game yet). Let me see how much of my money goes to improving my teams defense/offense, and let me change those amounts depending on the type of team I want to have. Let me train my squad so that they improve. I guess I want more meat on the career mode. Maybe I should check out FMH for that, but I think this game could do that well.

    I guess that is all I have for now. Please know that the portion of me that is writing all of the critiques above is way smaller than the part of me that is enjoying the game. For management, I am always looking for a game that will have everything. My thoughts are just ways that I think your game may keep becoming better and better. I say all that knowing that you know more about the game and what consumers want more than I do. Just my two cents. Thanks again for a great game. I really am enjoying it and I look forward to the update :)

    p.s. - Woah, that was a lot! Sorry everybody :)

    @greenleaf.

    The bug you mention is being fixed I believe, and the arrows thing was explained a couple of pages back :)

    As for the difficulty I imagine it's set for the whole career so maybe starting a new one would be best :D

    I tried with my PS3 gamepad and I have the following configuration:
    triangle: shot
    square: pass

    I fear the button mapping is depending on otg cable?

    Please Gianluca don't use custom keyboard... It's very very very ugly # Better to use the default one. And a way to upload video will be very appreciated.

    The keyboard you design to input name, password etc for online game.
    Another thing: last man fault, never red card, never also yellow card. It's not implemented the rule?

    TheFoxSoft Well-Known Member

    Yes the rule is implemented but i must be a clear chance of scoring to get a red card.
    i wanted to avoid to get a red card on doubtful situations.

    Believe me, I tried on purpose and never get a red card but most of times neither yellow.

    That's weird. I must admit I am using an OTG cable and then one of these (hence it's a wireless setup rather than wired):
    http://www.tesco.com/direct/afterglow-wireless-controller-ps3/284-7988.prd

    Would it be possible to add a "set controls" option within the game for people using a setup like mine?

    I wonder how the matches ( apart from that of your team ) are generated ?
    It is frequent to come across some sensational scores at times ... What factors contribute for the autonomous team to be succesful ?, strong squad , tactics or smth else ?
    For example I am moving to another club in career mode , but I still want my previous team to continue being strong and succesful... After I leave th club, does it save the tactics and players arrangement which was set by me ? Or the new manager will set his own ?

    In FTS Before moving to manage another club I used to buy high class players for all the money left in balance of my previous team ,and they continued being Top team ... However I think the tactics and players right arrangement should still be one of the factors ...

    The implemented rule is the following:

    if (I am tackling someone from behind)
    if (I am the "last man")
    then I get a red card
