On-Match Player Ability Modifier (v2) [WIP]

Overview

On-Match Player Ability Modifier (OMAM) v2 is a modular, real-time match engine modifier for Football Manager that allows you to dynamically influence player performance during live matches.

Unlike simple “freeze” cheats, OMAM v2 is built to be engine-aware and non-destructive, offering:

• Dynamic (Non-Freeze) performance modulation

• Context-safe injury-friendly presets

• Role & position filtering

• Team / Nation / Person targeting

• Import & Export (CSV) support

• Modular item system (stackable rules)

This system is designed for:

• Tactical experimentation

• Cinematic matches

• Sandbox testing

• Fun arcade-style gameplay

• Engine behaviour research

Core Features

1. Targeting System

   Each OMAM item can target:

   • Person (specific player)

   • Team

   • Nation

   With additional filters:

   • Player Role Filter

   • Position Familiarity Filter

   This allows precise control such as:

   • “Apply Iron Man only to defenders”

   • “Boost morale only for my team”

   • “Debuff stamina for opponent wingers”

2. Fitness & Morale Modifier

   • Fitness & Morale Mode

     • Inactive

     • Active – Dynamic (Non-Freeze)

     • Active – Locked (Freeze)

   • Dynamic (Non-Freeze) Mode

     In this mode, OMAM does not hard-freeze values.
     Instead, it gently nudges the engine values toward target values while allowing natural drain and recovery to continue.

     This prevents:

     • UI desync

     • Injury spikes

     • Engine logic corruption

     Configurable parameters:

     • Morale

     • Overall Physical Condition

     • Match Sharpness

     • Fatigue

   • Locked (Freeze) Mode

     Hard locks values to fixed numbers.
     Useful for testing or cinematic use, but not recommended for realism.

     Available presets:

     • Keep Player Match Fit & Prevent Fitness Drop (Low Injury Risk)

     • Force Player to Low Condition (High Injury Risk)

3. Dynamic Presets (Non-Freeze)

   Built-in presets tuned for engine safety:

   • Broken Spirit (High Injury Risk)

   • Match Fit (Default)

   • Illicit Boost

   • Heroic Form

   • Iron Man (Low Injury Risk)

   • Second Wind

   • Cool Head Under Pressure

   Each preset defines:

   • Morale

   • Condition

   • Sharpness

   • Fatigue

   These presets are designed to enhance gameplay without breaking injury logic.

4. Attributes Modifier

   Attributes Modifier Mode

   • Inactive

   • Active

   Options:

   • Set All Player Attributes To X

   • All Positions Familiarity (Outfield Only)

   This allows:

   • Turning players into temporary “super players”

   • Making any outfield player competent in all positions

   • Tactical sandbox experiments

5. Modular Item System

   OMAM v2 supports up to 32 independent modifier items, each with:

   • Enable / Disable

   • Target Type (Person / Team / Nation)

   • Filters

   • Fitness & Morale Modifiers

   • Attributes Modifiers

   Items can stack and combine for advanced scenarios.

6. Import & Export (CSV)

   OMAM v2 supports full CSV workflows:

   • Export individual items

   • Export all items

   • Import items

   • Share presets between users

   • Build your own preset packs

Preset Philosophy

OMAM v2 avoids:

• Absolute value locking (unless explicitly chosen)

• Breaking injury simulation

• Breaking stamina drain logic

Instead, it uses dynamic target-based correction that respects the engine’s internal calculations.

This makes OMAM v2 suitable for:

• Long matches

• Extended testing

• High-press tactics

• Cinematic experiments

• Stable modding

Engine Safety Rules

• Raw values and engine values are written in pairs

• Stress and exertion flags are respected

• Dynamic mode uses target-based correction (non-freeze)

Balancing Guide (Recommended Ranges)

Attribute Safe Range (Dynamic Mode)

• Morale

  10 - 60

• Condition

  8000 - 15000

• Sharpness

  8000 - 12000

• Fatigue

  -300 to 300

Extreme values are supported but may cause:

• Injury probability changes

• Unrealistic pacing

• Cinematic gameplay effects

Future Features (Planned / Experimental)🔥

These are experimental ideas and may be added in future versions:

1. Context-Aware Buff System

Presets activate automatically based on engine flags:

• Sprint / Duel → Iron Man

• High Stress → Second Wind

• Fatigue Spike → Emergency Regen

2. Preset Timeline Scheduler

Automatically change presets over time:

• Early match: Match Fit

• Late match: Second Wind

• Extra Time: Iron Man

3. Adaptive Presets (Feedback Loop)

Presets react to:

• Fatigue increase rate

• Sharpness drop rate

• Morale crashes

4. Injury Sandbox Mode

Special modes:

• No Injuries

• Cinematic Injuries

• Hardcore Fatigue Mode

• Physics Stress Test

5. “No-Stamina FIFA Mode” (Arcade Mode)

Arcade-style football:

• Near-infinite stamina

• High-tempo pressing

• Engine-safe dynamic regeneration

6. Team Aura System

Captain or leader provides:

• Morale aura

• Condition aura

• Emergency rally effects

7. Role-Based Performance Profiles

Different buffs per role:

• Defenders → Iron Man

• Wingers → Burst Sharpness

• Playmakers → Morale Aura

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does this prevent injuries?
No. OMAM v2 respects the injury system.
However, presets like Iron Man significantly reduce injury risk.

Q: Why Dynamic Mode instead of Freeze?
Freeze mode can break engine assumptions and cause injury anomalies.
Dynamic Mode is safer and more realistic.

Q: Can I target opponents only?
Yes. Use Item Type = Team / Nation with filters.

Q: Can presets stack?
Yes. Multiple items can affect the same player.

Q: Is this save-safe?
OMAM operates only in-match and does not modify database records.
