It can be said that tactics are where football is obviously complicated than basketball. Compared with venue, number and rules, it is like the difference between the complexity of Go and chess. In chess, programs can reach the level of world champion without any AI, while programs without AI in Go are soulless. Therefore, basketball can long ago make game battles that are not mentally retarded, because even in real games, the "routine" of players' running positions is extremely significant.

Otherwise, Rondo would not have been in the NBA. Rondo commanded his teammate Cousins ​​to defend the bottom corner area where there was no one at that time. Rondo had read the opponent's routine long ago, and stood at the top of the contempt chain, and concluded that the opponent would execute it without thinking. So he directed Cousins ​​to wait for the rabbit, and finally let them guard it.

As for football, what is the tactic? Kicking into the door? Chu Yuanxi's time to play games is much greater than that of sports, so it's really hard to say.

However, during the battle against Xue Ming, Chu Yuanxi seemed to understand what tactics were. This must be an illusion, because he could not fully express it, which means he was still at the sensory level.

Even so, it was already quite shocking, especially when the game was at a critical moment, the system would switch to slow motion and prompt keywords, and mark the trajectory line for the football. For example, when the winger chose to cut in and shoot in, how did the teammates cooperate with the running to open up space, how did the winger choose the inward cutting route to face multiple defenders at the top of the penalty area arc?

Under this kind of move, although the defenders are large in number, they do not rush out without any brains. It seems that the defenders are also observing the movements of the entire game at any time, guarding against the off-ball runs of other people on the offensive side, so they block the pass route of the winger.

This feeling is particularly clear, and the slow motion is just right to express the key. The winger "carries" the defender and cuts across the top of the penalty area. The defender shows an atmosphere of trying his best to defend, and then shoots in the collision between the shoulders of both sides.

Even the arc shot was particularly in line with the principles of physics, as if the ball had already reached its initial speed through the previous drib and rotation, and after being shot, it should have a beautiful arc. It made Chu Yuanxi unable to help shouting 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 also knows a little about program development. In one sentence, the performance of players in the game is very "computer".

Chu Yuanxi has played a lot of football computer games. The most mentally retarded computer guards will be particularly interested in pounce, but they are stuck by other companions, so their hands and feet are constantly twitching, and they just can't get through. Better computer guards will know how to go around. This is the best time for fifa masters to pass the ball.

The defenders in Xue Ming's game are not the case. Although there are many defenders, they know how to consider the factors of "game", instead of simply calculating based on the collision volume, "rushing up" with the central defender on the front, the two sides move sideways together, and the others follow the movement of the two. They only have a beautiful shot and are more powerful. Sometimes they can't do anything to face the Dutch three-stick away shooting guard.

That's why Chu Yuanxi felt that he knew some tactics. For fans, high-level European football matches can be watched from morning to night, but they don't always feel that he understands tactics.

What is rare is that the players are very vivid on the court. Not only are their body language rich, but they still stagger forward when their bodies collide, or encounter explosive shovels, as if they are alive.

Chu Yuanxi thought about a football game he had played. It should be one of the so-called football games that were launched in the 2018 World Cup. He couldn't remember the name at all. There was no real-life battle at all. He dared to let players pay for it by using some cards to fool a "core battle". The process of the game was twenty-two cards trembling on the lawn.

It seems that next year is the World Cup year. Judging from the game alone, the gap in this experience is too big, right?

Xue Ming’s game is not so much a football manager, but more like a football coach. The main content is two points, competitions and training.

The game process is relatively simple. Both teams are controlled by AI and play according to the team's formation and the attributes of the players. The coach gives orders and chooses tactics on the spot, or makes substitutions, thereby exerting an influence on the game process.

The entire 90-minute game was shortened to about 3 minutes, because Xue Ming artificially castrated the backcourt and downed the foot, which was an anti-human game method, could almost do more than a dozen round-trip offenses and defenses. Chu Yuanxi also tried the operation specially. After changing the tactics, the situation on the field was indeed greatly changed. The two wings with a strong momentum flew together and were beaten with their heads in their arms, as if Bayern had been after Eunuch Hai stepped down.

As for the gameplay of training, the performance is actually much worse than the battle process, and it does not break away from the stubbornness of the cm series. However, the results of 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 his phone, looked at Xue Ming with a complicated expression and asked, "Hey, how did you do this?"

"How to do it? Just do it, machine learning." Xue Mingxin said that it still needs to be asked? "I have also done vision before, you know. Take those high-level videos as video material to learn, break them down 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 tactics are constantly self-fighting training to improve self-evolution, allowing Ai to make all attempts within the rules without manual intervention. What is now made is this version, which looks similar to the game between top teams. The tactics are constantly recursive, and finally it becomes the coaching command set during the game battle.

Well, there is indeed a logical problem here, that is, there are no weak teams in this game, only weak players' attributes, poor explosive power and inaccurate shooting, etc., but there are no weak tactical literacy. The next step can be to optimize differentiation.

The most difficult thing is actually training. I really don’t know how the top clubs train, and there is no public information. I have to reverse the results of the game. This is how I designed the process. First, I will determine the styles of each famous coach…”

"Stop—" Chu Yuanxi was ashamed and thought to himself that I was asking about the specific process? "I'm talking about how you thought of using AI to learn football? You are a bit big. Even if you really play games, I'll accept it a little bit if you have a random AI plot. I just wondered if you took on a club's B-end commission, developed a tactical assist AI for them, and then made a game."

"Make a card and repeat your past success? What challenges can you tell me?" Xue Mingxin said that you underestimate me so much? If we don't make games, it will shock the game world if we do it! "As for what we think, isn't this the 5g era coming? In fact, I have been holding on to make such a game for a long time, but I don't have enough bandwidth and can't make such a game."

"That's right." Chu Yuanxi understood it as soon as he heard it. Xue Ming said that this kind of AI computing in battle must be placed in the cloud, not in the local area. Even if it is made into a mobile game, if the operation is dared to put it on the mobile phone, as long as the game becomes popular, a hundred plug-ins will pop up for you to see. This is the reality of the National Game Industry.

In this sense, either make it a stand-alone game and not allow players to interact, then they like to hang it or not; or cloud games are the only way to support network interaction experience and make plug-ins useless. Only 5g bandwidth can support this kind of data transmission, and the network speed is not as good as slow.

"By the way, do you know what I thought of when I saw your game?" Chu Yuanxi rarely showed a hint of admiration, "What I thought of is that your game process is very suitable for VR viewing experience. In real football games, people have always wanted to make VR viewing experience, but it is too difficult. Even if they can barely make it, the experience will not be much better.

But this is different for you. Anyway, you are modeled in 3D. You can let users directly watch the scene in the arena or through the mobile interface. In fact, it is OK."

"Ah?" Xue Ming was shocked by Chu Yuanxi's imagination. "The visual effect of the mobile phone perspective is OK, but it will definitely not work if you pull it closer. How ugly is that? The lawn alone is ugly." The grass and leaves have always been the fatal point of 3D game art expression.

"You're out of this? Unreal 5 was officially released this year, saying that it can export film and television art resources to the game. There are more than one million faces for a character, and the lawn may not be a problem. If you find Teacher Duan Xuan to make a voice for this game, the battle process will definitely feel like watching top European competitions.

But do you think the training and competition of your product are more complicated? There are also several football games on the market that use the competition process as the selling point. You have similar ideas to them. The coach makes choices on the spot, but others' options are very concise and playable. Your operation may be pretty good on the computer, and it is really not very friendly to players on the phone."

The so-called simplification means that the tactics available for players as coaches are "attack on the left, center and right" or "attack on the offense, defense on the contrary, offense and defense balance", etc. The more abundant expression forms, there are nothing more than "long passes, short passes, and crosses on the bottom". They are indeed concise enough, but they are completely a form of expression and have no big impact on the results of the game...

As for the training session, it depends on whether the training is the krypton gold point in the game. If so, then there will be a lot of pits waiting for players to jump, and various numerical props will fly up, but it still must be simple and intuitive, it is nothing more than a gameplay with added values.

This kind of game competes with numerical values, or combat power. If you fight with high combat power, you can kick the ball away at the empty goal. If you fight with high combat power, the ball will automatically spin into the goal. If you don’t do this, it will not be called a domestic game of cheating.

Unlike Xue Ming, the training model is made into the core gameplay. The training model is made including the tiki-taka of melon, the heavy metal band style of Uncle Zha, and Mourinho's detailed requirements for position and distance, etc. Different training models will affect different practical effects. Players can combine training instructions into the styles of these famous coaches through their own exploration or reading strategies.

If you do it purely according to your own ideas, it may have reverse effects. Putting a bus is an art, and it cannot be done well just by taking it for granted.

The reason why Chu Yuanxi did not play hard for training was because he felt something was wrong after fiddling with it. Xue Ming was planning to teach players how to become Mourinho step by step? Ordinary people are not easy to learn from Klopp and Guardiola, but through a series of complex training instructions, it seems that it is very likely to combine the on-site effects of the Mu-style team.

Just so tired! This is a game, nothing can be realistic...

But Xue Ming didn't look that way, he raised his neck: "Of course I know those products, but that one is too simple, right? Some of them have a good reputation. At first glance, it's OK, but the game process is so repetitive. The opponents in the two games are different, but the formation and combat power value are the same. If the coach does not add operations, the process is exactly the same! You can't even use the anti-Mont Carlo method to jump into the pit, that's a simplicity! The highlight of my game is that the combination of training and competition, and you can compete as you practice."

"Sometimes I just accept your spirit of being rude. By the way, why are you showing me the product today?"

"First, it is indeed necessary to provide some advice on game products from Baren Group. Second, of course, it is necessary to be an agent of Baren, which needs to be said."

Xue Ming was particularly careful about the "professional" speaking, and Chu Yuanxi said in his heart that I am not a professional. "Then do you know that if you follow the R&D-Agent situation, can agent issuance be made? The R&D company must cooperate."

This question made Xue Ming bit his back teeth and said, "I know."

Chu Yuanxi thought that this was a compromise with Xue Ming for himself? After all, it was his own company, and the position of his butt could help people become realistic.

"Actually, I have another plan." Chu Yuanxi said, smiling and stood up, patting Xue Ming's shoulder intimately, "Your game is very, very good, and it is very useful to me. Maybe you can't even imagine how useful it is."

"What plan?" Xue Ming suddenly felt that something abnormal happened and that Chu Yuanxi would not praise people like this. Moreover, it seemed that this was useful, and it was not about how much money it made.

"Just tell me how much money do you want to make through this game?"

"Uh...one hundred million? I mean the net profit distributed to Zhenniu Technology."

Chu Yuanxi nodded. Of course, a large amount of transactions are deducted from agency issuance. For example, Xue Ming, the final distribution of the company will not exceed 30%, or even lower, because agency companies generally have to go to channels, and the channels must be cut first. Then, if they rely on the buying volume model to operate, it is not a matter of how much the transaction is, but another completely different profit distribution agreement.

Of course, Ba people are quite special and have always had extraordinary voices in channels.

Although he nodded, he said: "One hundred million doesn't seem to be much, but you may not be able to make a penny."

"Why?"

Chu Yuanxi smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about whether your complicated operation can be accepted by players or whether it becomes popular. I won't discuss this question for now. Don't you know that the most important thing in football games is copyright? The players you use, Ronaldo, Messi, Van Dijk, have you used it?"

"Ah? How did those other football games come online?"

"If you don't make money, no one will cause trouble for you, but Baren agents cannot target not making money." Chu Yuanxi changed a concept while speaking, because Xue Ming's goal is to have a total turnover of 400 million, and it is 400 million in the absence of buying volume mode. This is already considered to be relatively profitable, and it is not the same as those football games that suddenly go online to cheat money. This revenue is money for any organization or individual.

"Ah? What should I do?" Xue Ming was immediately anxious because he had never thought about this issue. The copyright involved was too professional, as if it was Chu Yuanxi's roundabout response to the 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 into a pig's liver and asked as if he was mourning: "Do you have to change it to that kind of garbage game?"

"No, what are you thinking?" Chu Yuanxi continued to smile, "You did a very good job, but he shouldn't be a mobile game. What I said is that as a mobile game it is too complicated, so I support you to change him to a VR game."

Football is a very large game category. It is just because it is special, so it is clearly different from other types. If the experience is good enough, it will still be a hit.

What is Baren most lacking now? He lacks killer applications in the VR application store. At the same time, since Xiaokang also has VR, this is very likely to become another coupling point for Baren Xiaokang. Don’t forget that it must be based on cloud games. Isn’t cloud games the summary point of Xiaokang’s multiple business lines?

The game Xue Ming can actually be divided into two independent modules, or training and competition should not be combined together. This is a problem that professional gamers can see at a glance.

Its training is very distinctive, but it actually doesn't match the content of the game. Watching the game process is a great enjoyment for fans, and it's no problem to direct the game, but not everyone wants to become a professional coach. For fans, Qi Xuanzong may be the most easily accepted template for coaching training.

The key is that even if the player operates like a tiger according to the training rules in the game and finds out Mourinho-style team training model, it doesn't make any sense. This is no different from giving the player an option called "Morino" because in the end the player will still read the strategy instead of making a mess by himself.

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

So it is better to mainly highlight the competition process, which fascinates Chu Yuanxi a little.
