Retro Football Boss changes
This update introduces the ability to set your captain and set-piece takers on the tactics screen, giving the manager more involvement particularly in the days before subs. In a future update you will also be able to set these within a player’s profile screen. CHANGE LIST
Added third option 'INDIVIDUAL' to 'View' tab on tactics screen. This will bring up a panel where the the captain and set-piece takers can be set.
Added ability to set the team captain and two understudies. Factors such as ability, age, time at the club and happiness factors will affect the effectiveness of a captain. For example a captain who values money above all else is unlikely to have the respect of all team-mates.
The choice of captain will affect certain attributes positively or negatively during games depending on how respected the captain is.
The choice of captain will also have an affect on your team’s ability to come from behind, again depending on his standing within the squad.
Added ability to choose up to three set-piece takers (six for penalties) for various situations. If you want a player to take all of a certain set-piece, you can set all three slots to the same man (except penalties). Factors such as crossing, creativity, long shots, finishing, technique, decisions and confidence will affect the ability of a set-piece taker, depending on the situation.
Reduced conversion rate for poor penalty takers
Increased quality of out-swinging corners slightly
Increased quality of direct free-kicks taken on same side as best foot
Prevented injured players who remain on the field from taking corners and free-kicks
Captain denoted in the ratings screen with a 'C' after player's name (only for matches played from this update onwards)
ISSUES ACKNOWLEDGED - WORK ONGOING
Most non-league clubs will play in red & white. Research ongoing.
If you finish in the re-election/relegation positions and are removed from the league, the game will crash rather than giving a game-over message.
The game is slower on Windows than OSX. We will set aside a few weeks for optimisation soon to improve the speed of the game on Windows.
