Random Database
Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2015 2:48 pm
The idea is simple: absolutely everything in the database has been randomised from city attraction to player attributes.
I can guess most of you will be asking: "Why on earth would you waste your time creating something like that, you madman!?" Well, the project was not as time consuming as one may think, thanks to macros. Also, I consider this to be a mere basis for a database both enjoyable and unpredictable.
Examining the save file after creating a new game, I noted the following:
-PA for the players (and probably non-players and officials, too) have a range 10-130.
-CA for the players (and probably non-players and officials, too) have a range 1-49.
-Player age is 13-39 (although I have a reason to believe that after the age of 27 there are only player/non-players left and players between the ages 13-16 were all generated by the game, not being present in the original database).
-Training facilities, fan support and reputation are set to the lowest possible value, instead of being randomised. I could create a macro that would randomise these, but then they would of course be the same in every game.
-Attendances in Saved Game Editor are approximately between 75-5500, with 250 or 500 being the average on most cases.
-Simulating through one season, I noticed NHL teams do not sign anyone, most likely due to the poor quality of players.
The issue with poor players and NHL could be countered by editing PAs manually. Other than that, I think the database seems to work better than I had expected. I have not yet experienced even a single crash!
Seriously, though, there is an annoyance with the player and staff search in the beginning. It keeps claiming that everyone is filtered out even with reset filters. It could have something to do with everyone being a free agent.
Please try it out, and share your thoughts regarding what should be improved.
(Try to) enjoy!
