A few additions have been made to the fight night round 3 rules, kindly re download the finals rule set please !

Thank you for that much needed amendment on the NFS front.
any changes for fight night? about the score being normalized ??

Also, I have another doubt/suggestion that i recently came up with… regarding cricket

The cricket quarter finalists are to be narrowed down based on net run rate according to the given rule set. Now as we know, a team’s run rate totally depends on the runs they score and hence the term run-rate. The runs a person scores, irrespective of the player’s potential or skill at this game is heavily dependent on the PITCH the players play on.

I would request you to try this game out on different pitches or inquire from other gamers about this. Infact, even by looking at the scores from your elims.. you would realize that the DAMP & GREEN pitches are very low scoring, when compared to the DUSTY and DRY pitches… much like in the real world sport. Also, the damp pitches often spring up controversies.. like the one in the mumbai elims.

My point being that the net run rate on a DAMP or GREEN pitch will be low, much lower when compared to a DUSTY or DRY pitch. Imagine the scenario where a player gets a DAMP pitch in their first round and a GREEN one in their second match.. this would really leave them no chance in making a high run rate and thus qualifying for the game’s quarter finals…

A level playing ground is the only means of assuring that things stay fair and thus avoiding a controversy or fight later. This is a scenario much like the one in NFS where a level playing ground is required for the statistics (net run rate) to be categorized in the same class.. different pitches would be like different tracks for NFS and clearly those who get DUSTY or DRY pitches would end up with higher net run rates…

1. For FiFa : It was France and Italy only again. But here there won’t be a coin toss , players can choose whatever teams they want , both can be france or both can be italy too

2 For NFS :
The rules have been updated for NFS, kindly redownload the Finals Ruleset again. 5 Locations & 5 Grip tracks from every location have been short listed . So now its 5 tracks only.

For the finals in the 1st & 2nd rounds , only 1 out of thiese 5 tracks will be chosen & everyone will race on that track only.

1st a 1 v 1 will be played to get a winner for the team based scores.

Then both the players take the same track again 1 after another without the split screen to get their fastest laps in … the timing of which would be taken down to be calculated for the single player prizes.

Vixture Admin: Its up to the player what he wants to do with the money !

Firstly, Congratulations on the fantastic city coverage and the smooth running of Vixture, what can I say? , the event has been pulled off with absolutely “Zero Friction”

On a closer look at the rules.. I’ve come up with some doubts, I’d really appreciate a response to these..

1. The criteria for the qualification of the NFS individual game quarter-finalists states “The average lap time across the 2 rounds will be considered. In case of a tie
a rematch will be conducted
Seriously ?, with all due respect.. I’d love to meet the person who came up with this one.. I’m sure its someone who loves Formula1 or rather those amazing qualifying sessions that we see on TV… agreed the rule aims at bringing into light, the fastest drivers or rather the most skilled ones…, BUT, how do you expect to categorize all the race times when there are 5 different race locations and 17 different tracks,from which according to the stated rules ,one will be selected at random discretion of the referee… What I’m trying to say is, there are tracks out there, for example there’s one on EBISU, which can be done in as fast as 32 seconds… while there’s one on texas speedway that takes more than a minute !!!

How would you get the top 8 players for the quarters when clearly those who get the smaller tracks would have faster average lap times ???

The only way this rule would make sense would be IF ALL PLAYERS WERE TO RACE ON THE VERY SAME TRACK AT THE VERY SAME LOCATION !!!

PLEASE confirm this for me.. have i interpreted the rule wrong ? because I don;t think this makes any sense!!… no offense, but this is a serious issue.

2. The rules for fight night state “Total game score across the 2 rounds. In case of a tie on game score the no. of knockdowns will be considered”

Alright, what happens if the match is finished in three rounds, because if one wins three rounds out of four, the match can be finished there.. not needing a fourth round.. in that case, would the winner’s score be normalized?? , because clearly.. the winner will be rated out of 30 points and not 40(considering a four round scenario).

3. FIFA team selection is still limited to France & Italy … There are a plethora of teams in the game, why only these two ?? Is it because they made it to the world cup finals ?? .. Well in that case, why not limit the cricket selection teams to Australia & Sri Lanka … France’s team chemistry ain’t as high as Italy’s.. and this fuels ammunition for a debate.. Why this bias towards cricket ???

4. Lastly, If only 8 teams will be selected for the quarters… then without a shade of doubt, the luck of the draw would have a HUGE impact.. kindly imagine this scenario the strongest team gets pitted against the second best team for their first round and the fourth or fifth best team for their second round.. this leading to this strongest team managing to make only 5 wins out of 10, thanks to the tough competition… which would clearly leave the best team in the tournament no chance to make it to the top 8 teams… for thanks to the luck of the draw.. some teams might walk away with 10 wins on 10 games

I sincerely request .. yes REQUEST!! & plead you’ll to consider picking the top 16 teams, which is a mere 25% of the 64 that start.. just to keep the luck of the draw at a minimum
This adds just one more round of gaming to organize, but multiplies the odds of minimizing luck thus maximizing the chance of the top teams to stay and play in the finals…adding to the entertainment factor of the event

Phew, that was a long list… I sincerely hope your reading this till the very end. This tournament has been a really big hit amongst us gamers. Please do not let minorities tarnish any due credit that it deserves, thanks to minor little problems..
: like the rule set for nfs (unless I’m mis- interpreting it)
: or a strong team getting eliminated for only 8 teams were taken (thats a mere 12.5%.. this leaves a lot to the luck of the draw)

Thank you for the co-operation

And good luck to everyone for the finals,
-Rahul

Vixture Admin: Hey Rahul , you have pulled out quiet a few issues …. we’ll get back to u with ans to all of them ..ASAP

I just looked at the rules for the finals.. Only France & Italy again ??? … You responded in a positive manner for this to change for the finals on an earlier post by anuraag.. Please could you confirm on this again, as to why other teams can’t be used ??

Also, it says passing is assisted, does this mean only passing or all passing, that is through balls, lob and crosses ? & shooting is still manual ?.. Could you please look into these minor things.. That would really be appreciated.

@anuraag : Barca is a strong team purely because the real world Barcelona club is strong, atleast on paper … before the season began, when the game was made.. they were strong.. Doesn’t mean they are invincible.. I’m guessing you were one of those cry babies at FIWC.. nevermind!
