It can be said that tactics are where football is obviously more complex than basketball, and the comparison in terms of venue, number of people, and rules is like the difference in complexity between Go and chess. In chess, a program can reach the level of a world champion without any AI, while a program without AI in Go is soulless. Therefore, basketball has long been able to make game battles that are not mentally retarded, because even in real games, the "routine" of player movement is extremely significant.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a scene in the NBA where Rondo commanded his teammate Cousins to defend the corner area where no one was there at the time. Rondo had already read the other party's routine, and standing at the top of the chain of contempt, he concluded that the other party would be brainless, so he ordered Cousins to wait for the rabbit, and finally let them guard it.

And football, what are the tactics? Kick into the door? Chu Yuanxi spends much more time playing games than sports, and I really can't say it.

But in Xue Ming's game, Chu Yuanxi seemed to understand what tactics were during the battle, which must be an illusion, because he couldn't express it comprehensively, that is, he still stayed at the sensory level.

Even so, it is quite shocking, especially when it comes to a critical point in the game, the system will switch to slow motion and prompt keywords, and mark the trajectory line for the ball. For example, when the winger chooses to cut in, how can teammates cooperate with the run to open up space, and how the winger chooses the inward route when facing multiple defenders at the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Under this kind of movement, although the number of defenders is large, they do not pounce out without brains, as if the defenders are also observing the movement of the whole field at any time, guarding against the off-ball running position of other attackers, so they block the passing route of the wingers.

The feeling is particularly clear, and the slow motion is just right for the key expression, the winger is "carrying" the defender along the top of the penalty area, the defender shows the atmosphere of trying his best to defend, and then bursts into the ball in the shoulder-to-shoulder collision between the two sides.

Even the arc shot out is particularly in line with the principles of physics, as if the ball has an initial velocity through the previous dribbling and rotation, and it should make this wonderful arc after it is shot, so that Chu Yuanxi couldn't help but shout after seeing the ball fly into the net: "Good ball!"

Not only is the ball a good ball, but the program is also a good program. He still knows a little bit about program development, and the performance of the players in the game is very non-"computer" in one sentence.

Chu Yuanxi used to play a lot of football computer games, the most mentally retarded computer defenders would show a special desire to pounce, but they were stuck by other companions, so that their hands and feet kept twitching, and they just couldn't get by. A better computer defender will know how to get around, and this is the best time for FIFA experts to pass the ball.

The defenders in Xue Ming's game are different, although the number of defenders is large, they know how to consider the factor of "game", rather than simply calculating based on the collision volume and then "rushing up", with the frontal central defender carrying the winger, the two sides move sideways together, and the others follow reasonably with the movement of the two. It's just that the defense is beautiful and the shooting is more fierce, and sometimes there is no way to face the Dutch three-stick shooting defender.

That's why Chu Yuanxi felt as if he knew a little bit about tactics. For football fans, high-level football matches in Europe can be watched from morning to night, but it is not always possible to feel that they understand the tactics.

What is rare is that the players are still very vivid on the field, not only the body language is richer, but also when the body collides, they still staggered forward to the ball, or encountered a tackle on their backs, as if they were alive.

Chu Yuanxi thought about a football game he once played, it should still be one of the so-called football games that was suddenly launched during the 2018 World Cup, and he couldn't remember the name at all. That's a complete lack of real-life battles, and players dare to pay for a "core battle" with some cards, and the process of the game is twenty-two cards shivering on the lawn.

Seeing that next year is another World Cup year, from the perspective of games alone, the gap in this experience is too big, right?

Xue Ming's game is not so much a football manager as a football coach, and the main content is two points, competition and training.

The game is relatively simple, with both teams controlled by AI and played according to the team's formation and player attributes. The coach gives the right to choose tactics or make substitutions to influence the course of the game.

The entire 90-minute game was shortened to about 3 minutes in length, because Xue Ming artificially castrated the anti-human game method of inverted feet in the backcourt, and he could almost carry out more than ten back and forth offenses and defenses. Chu Yuanxi also specially tried the operation, and the situation on the field after changing tactics was indeed greatly changed, and the two wings with momentum like a rainbow flew together and became beaten with their heads, as if Bayern after Gonggong Hai left office.

As for the gameplay of training, in fact, the expressiveness is much worse than the process of the battle, and it is not out of the trap of the CM series. It's just that the results of the training affect the tactics that can be selected in the game, which is a very important part of the game.

After playing a few games, Chu Yuanxi put down the phone, looked at Xue Ming with a complicated face and asked, "Hey, how did you do this?"

"How? Just do that, machine learning." Xue Mingxin said that this still needs to be asked?" "I've done visual before, you know." Take those high-level videos as video materials to learn, decompose them into several learning factors, and first output the results of the action into a matrix, so that the art can do common actions according to the results.

Then the tactical aspect is to constantly self-combat training and self-evolution, and the AI is allowed to do all attempts within the rules without human intervention. This is the version that has been made now, and it looks similar to the game between the top teams, and the tactics are constantly recursive, and finally it becomes the coach's instruction set during the game battle.

Well, there is indeed a logical problem here, that is, there is no weak team in my game, only the players are weak, the explosiveness is poor, the shooting is not accurate, etc., but there is no weak tactical literacy. The next step is to optimize the differentiation.

The most difficult thing is actually the training, I really don't know how the top clubs train, and there is no public information, so I have to work backwards from the results of the game, the process I designed this way, first determine the style of each coach......"

"Stop-" Chu Yuanxi was embarrassed, and said in his heart, did I ask about the specific process?" "I'm talking about how you came up with the idea of using AI to learn football? I just wondered if you took a B-side commission from some club, developed a tactical support AI for them, and then made a game. ”

"Make a card and repeat your past successes?What is the challenge at all?" Xue Mingxin said that you underestimate me so much? If we don't make a game, we will shock the game world!" ”

"That's right. Chu Yuanxi understood as soon as he heard it, what Xue Ming said was that the AI operation of this kind of battle must be placed in the cloud, not locally. Even if it is made into a mobile game, if you dare to put the operation on your mobile phone, as long as the game is popular, a hundred kinds of plug-ins will pop up and hang it for you to see, which is the reality of the game industry in the national dynasty.

In this sense, either it will be made into a stand-alone game, and the player will not be able to interact with it, or cloud gaming is the only way that can support the network interaction experience while making the plug-in useless, only 5G bandwidth can support this kind of data transmission, and the network speed is not slow at all.

"By the way, do you know what I thought of immediately when I saw your game?" Chu Yuanxi showed a rare expression of admiration, "What I thought of was that your game process was very suitable for making a VR viewing experience." There have always been people who want to make a real football game into a VR viewing experience, but it is so difficult that even if you can barely get it, the experience is not much better.

But you're different, you're all 3D modeled anyway, so you can let users go directly to the scene of the arena or see it through the mobile phone interface. ”

"Huh?" Xue Ming was suddenly shocked by Chu Yuanxi's brain hole, "The visual effect of the mobile phone perspective is okay, but you definitely can't get closer, how ugly is that? "Grass and foliage have always been a dead end for 3D game art.

Unreal Engine 5 was officially released this year, saying that it can output film-level art resources to the game, and a character has more than one million faces, and it may not be a problem to lawn or something. You find Mr. Duan Xuan to dub this game, and the battle process definitely has the feeling of watching the top European games.

But do you think that the training and competition of your product are more complicated? Now there are several football games on the market that use the game process as a selling point, you have similar ideas as them, and the coach makes choices on the spot, but the options of others are very concise, and the playability is not low. This might be fine on a computer, but it's not particularly player-friendly on a mobile phone. ”

The so-called simplification means that the player's tactics as a coach can choose are "left-center-right attack" or "offensive, defensive, offensive and defensive balance" and so on. The form of expression is a little richer, there is nothing more than "long pass rushing, short pass penetration, bottom cross" and the like, which is indeed concise enough, but it is completely a form of expression, and it does not have much impact on the result of the game......

As for the training link, it depends on whether the training is a kryptonite point in the game. If it is, then it is full of pits waiting for players to jump, and various numerical props are flying, but it still must be simple and intuitive, and it is nothing more than a numerical gameplay.

This kind of game is all about numbers, or combat power points. Low combat power plays high combat power, empty doors can be kicked away, high combat power plays low combat power, and the ball automatically spins into the goal, otherwise it is not called a domestic pit dad game.

Like Xue Ming, he made training the core gameplay, and the training models he made include the bald tiki-taka, the heavy metal band style of Uncle Scum, and Mourinho's fine requirements for position and distance, etc., different training models will affect different actual combat effects. Players can combine training instructions into the style of these famous coaches through their own exploration or reading strategies.

If you follow your own ideas, there may be the opposite effect, and the bus is an art, and it is not a matter of taking it for granted.

The reason why Chu Yuanxi didn't play hard in training was because he didn't feel right when he fiddled with his hands, Xue Ming was planning to teach players how to become Mourinho by hand? It is not easy for ordinary people to learn from Klopp and Guardiola, but through a series of complex training instructions, it seems that it is indeed very possible to combine the on-the-spot effect of the Muslim team.

It's just so tiring! It's a game, you can't make everything realistic......

But Xue Ming didn't see it that way, he raised his neck: "Of course I know those products, but that's too simple, right? Some of them have a good reputation, at first glance it's okay, but the game process is actually very repeatable, the opponents in the two games are not the same, but the formation and combat power value are the same, if the coach doesn't operate, the special process is exactly the same! I can't even use a special anti-Monte Carlo method jumping pit, that's called a concise! The highlight of my game is the combination of training and competition, how to practice how to compete. ”

"I sometimes just obey your strength to admit death. By the way, what are you showing me the product for today?"

"First of all, it is indeed necessary for the professionals of the Baren Group to provide some suggestions for game products. The second, of course, is that the Pakistani people are needed to act as agents, which goes without saying. ”

Xue Ming especially insisted on the "professional" to speak, and Chu Yuan Xixin said that I am not a professional if I co-author, right?" "Then do you know that if you go through the situation of R&D and agency, the agency issuance can be requested? ”

This question made Xue Ming grit his back molars and say, "I know." ”

Chu Yuan Xixin said that this is Xue Ming's compromise with himself? In the end, it is his own company, and the position of the ass can help people become realistic.

"Actually, I have another plan. Chu Yuanxi said and stood up with a smile and patted Xue Ming's shoulder affectionately, "You have done a very, very good job in this game, and it is very useful to me, maybe you can't imagine how useful it is." ”

"What plan?" Xue Ming suddenly felt that something unusual was a demon, and Chu Yuanxi was usually not so boastful. And, it seems, this is useful, not a question of how much money you make.

"You just say how much money do you want to make through this game?"

"Uh...... 100 million? I mean the net profit that will be distributed to Zhenniu Technology. ”

Chu Yuanxi nodded, of course, the agency issuance has to deduct a lot of turnover, like Xue Ming, the final distribution to his company will not exceed 30%, or even lower, because the agency company generally has to go to the channel, and the channel must be cut first. Then, if it is operated by a volume buying model, it is not a question of how much turnover is shared, but a completely different set of profit distribution agreements.

Of course, the Ba people are special, and their right to speak on the channel has always been unusual.

Although he nodded, what he said was: "100 million may not seem like much, but you may not earn a dime." ”

"Why?"

Chu Yuanxi smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about whether your complicated operation can be accepted by players, whether it is popular, this issue will not be discussed." Don't you know that the most important thing in football games is copyright? Do you use these players Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Van Dijk, have they authorized you to use them?"

"Huh, how did all the other soccer games get online?"

"If you don't make money, no one will trouble you, but it is impossible for a game to be unprofitable. Chu Yuanxi secretly changed a concept when he spoke, because Xue Ming's goal was to have a total turnover of 400 million, and it was 400 million without taking the buying model, which was already relatively profitable, and it was not the same concept as those football games that raided online and made money. This revenue is money for any organization or individual.

"Ah, what then?" Xue Ming suddenly fell into anxiety, because he had never thought about this problem, and it was too professional when it came to copyright, as if this was Chu Yuanxi's roundabout response to his so-called "professional".

"It's very simple, I'll give you 100 million and buy out your product directly, of course you have to provide maintenance and modify it according to my requirements. ”

Xue Ming's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he asked like a mourner: "Do you have to change it to that kind of garbage game?"

"No, what do you want?" Chu Yuanxi continued to smile, "You did a great job, but he shouldn't be a mobile game." What I'm saying is that it's too complicated as a mobile game, so I'm in favor of you changing it to a VR game. ”

Football is a very large game category, just because of its particularity, so it is clearly distinguished from other genres, and if the experience is good enough, it can also be a hit.

And what is the most lacking in the Ba people now? At the same time, because the well-off also has VR, this is very likely to become another coupling point for the well-off people of Ba. Don't forget that it must be based on cloud gaming, and isn't cloud gaming just the aggregation point of multiple business lines of Xiaokang?

Xue Ming's game can actually be divided into two independent modules, or it shouldn't combine training and competition. This is a problem that professional gamers can see at a glance.

Its training is very distinctive, but it doesn't actually match the content of the game, watching the game is a great pleasure for the fans, and it's okay to direct the game, but not everyone wants to be a professional coach. For fans, perhaps Qi Xuanzong is the most acceptable template for coaching training.

The point is, even if the player follows the training rules in the game and works out a Mourinho-style team training model, it doesn't make any sense. This is no different from giving the player an option called "Mourinho-type", because in the end the player will still go to see the strategy instead of tossing around on their own.

It may be of little use to professional football coaches, but this game is not developed for professionals after all......

So it's better to focus on highlighting the process of the game, which makes Chu Yuanxi a little fascinated.

And Xue Ming, seeing Chu Yuanxi smiling so much when he spoke, said in his heart that I shouted 100 million, is it too little to shout?
