FM2012 青训球员和随机人系统

王颖

Today’s is about changes and new features regarding youth players and “newgens” which are the players that come into the game over time to ensure that there are a stream of players available for your whole career.

　　今天要隆重推出的新特性是关于年轻球员和“随机人”的培养和改进（随机人嘛,就是那些随着岁月的推移而由系统自动生成的一群家伙,要是没有他们,你的经理生涯也没法坚挺那么久不是……）

We often talk about how FM 2012 is part evolution for the series, and part revolution. So let’s start out with some revolution…

　　我们经常自吹自擂说FM2012将是整个足球经理系列发展中的重要一环和革命性的一代,那么现在哥就来告诉大家这款游戏进行了哪些革命性的改变……

In previous editions of the Football Manager series, you didn’t have much control over the youth squad. Each year you’d find a bunch of players dumped into your youth squad at the start of the season. Not any more.

　　在之前的FM系列中,你和自己的青年队其实关系不大,大家所干的事情无非就是在赛季刚开始时看到一批小牛进入了球队梯队然后自生自灭,仅此而已.

With FM 2012, we’ve given you more control over which players make it into your youth squad. Towards the end of the domestic season, you’ll get a news item in your inbox to inform you that your youth candidates are now ready to be assessed. Your coaches will already have assessed them and will be able to give you a scouting report for each one, as well as your assistant making recommendations to you on who you should, or shouldn’t, give a youth contract to.

　　在FM2012中,我们将给予你们更多的青年队控制权.在一个激烈的赛季结束后,你将从收件箱的新信息中得知青年队的选拔工作已经准备就绪.此时你的教练们将对每个小家伙进行评估并给出球探报告,而你的助手则会向你提出建议,以帮助你决定是否为这些年轻球员提供一份合同.

Your staff will also arrange a match between your current youth squad, and the youth candidates so you can watch them in action, and you can also choose to have a further look at the players by allowing them to play in normal youth team matches for the few weeks when you are making your decisions on who to take on.

　　你的教练会安排这些待选小牛和现在的俱乐部梯队进行一场选拔赛,你可以亲自观察每名候选正太的场上发挥.此外,在作出正式决定前,你还可以安排这些球员参加在接下来几周进行的青年队正式比赛,这一切都是为了让你三思而后行,不放走身边的任何一块璞玉.

They are initially treated as an extra squad, so it’s easy to see who they are and scroll through them using quick flicks. After the youth candidates have played their evaluation match against your current youth team, they will stay on with your youth team as trialists for the following few weeks.

　　这些小牛将会被额外编做一队,因此观察所有球员和评估他们的能力并不是啥难事.在和青年队的选拔赛结束后,这些球员将在接下来的几周作为待选拔球员留在你的青年队中.

It’s a whole new level of control for those of you who want to micromanage to the lowest level– but as we know that this isn’t something that everyone will want to do, we’ve also made it so that your assistant can look after who to take on if you don’t want to go this in depth alongside the other things that you can ask your assistant to look after, such as team talks and press conferences.

　　这种玩法无疑是那种那些希望事无巨细的工作狂的福音——球队的最底层也尽在你掌握了不是.但是如你所知,青菜箩卜各有所爱,鉴于不是每个人都喜欢如此事必躬亲,我们也提供了别的选择——勤勉的助教将会代替你考察哪些球员有天赋进入青年队,正如他也可以帮你进行球队训话和出席新闻发布会一样.

One thing that we always need to balance when we’re adding in new features is that people play the game in different ways.

　　话分两头,每当我们加入新特性时我们都会考虑游戏的平衡性,毕竟同一款游戏一百人可能会有一百种玩法.

We know that some people will love the extra control on youth teams. But we also know that some people don’t bother with youth squads at all, just signing ready made players from other teams in the game. There are also many who manage at a lower level, and struggle to balance their finances between having a youth squad and the needs of the first team.

　　我们清楚有些玩家渴望对青年队也拥有绝对的掌控权, 但另一些更倾向于从其他球队购买成熟球员的家伙可能对培养小牛并不感冒——当然啦,那些LLM狂人也为数不少,他们恨不得把一分银子掰两半花,毕竟在青年队的培养和一线队的建设之间寻找平衡也着实不易.

So we have an option for those people too.

　　所以我们也为这些家伙提供了新的选择.

So, for them, you can now ask your board to scrap your youth set up entirely. This will mean no new players coming through, and no need to try and get wages together to pay for the youth team. Your board may so no, of course, but if they’re looking to save money too, then it’s likely they’ll say yes.

　　没错,你现在还可以向董事会请求完全解散自己的青年队,这将意味着不再会有新鲜血液补充到你的球队中,但与此同时你也不必再为青年队的工资和开销大伤脑筋.当然啦,你的董事会可能会从长计议,拒绝你的要求,但如果他们是像葛朗台那样的守财奴,顺坡下驴还不是很自然的事情.

There have also been improvements in the way that the newgens are generated, with country based positional “traits” now being used. In Brazil, for example, it’s rare that they have natural wingers in real life, with those players more likely to be wing backs, so you’ll see less Brazilian newgen wingers, and more Brazilian newgen wing backs.

　　另外,对于饱受争议的随机人系统,我们同样做了很多改进.在FM2012中,每个地域产生的随机球员都会有自己国家的“位置特色”,比如巴西现实中盛产进攻性边后卫而边锋稀缺,那么系统随机出的巴西边锋恐怕也就屈指可数了,取而代之的将是成群结队的进攻性边卫.

The same can also be said of a players mental attributes. Players in Brazil, due to the way they grow up playing the game, are more likely to have flair. Players in Spain are more likely to play a short passing game. All of these traits are now reflected better in game.

　　球员的精神属性也会以同样的方式表现出来,巴西的小牛可能会因为他们从小踢球的环境而更具想象力,而西班牙的小家伙可能会拥有更精湛的短传技术……以上的所有特性都将在游戏里更加逼真地展现出来.

We’ve also improved the way youth recruitment works at different clubs for their youth setup. The club’s youth recruitment network and youth facilities are not only linked to the quality of newgens produced by the youth setup, but also the scope of the recruitment. So clubs with excellent recruitment networks and state-of-the art facilities have the ability to attract youth players not just from the local regions, but from other continents as well.

　　我们还对俱乐部青年球员招募网络的作用进行了一定程度的改进,每支球队青年球员招募网络的完备程度和青训设备是否完善现在不仅仅关系到你的球队中是否能刷出天赋禀异的小牛了,青年才俊的招募范围也同样受其影响.因此,那些拥有完备招募网络和优秀青训设施的球队不仅能网罗本地附近的青年才俊,其他大洲的少年英才也有可能慕名而来.

There’s also been a big improvement in the way names are generated for all youth players, particularly in countries where there are lots of regions and names tend to be region specific.

　　在随机产生的年轻球员的姓名方面,我们也做了大幅度的改进——特别是那些地域复杂的国家的小牛们,他们的姓名将拥有更显著的地方特色.

So that’s it for the youth & newgens blog – there are many other improvements in this area too, but we’ll let you discover those for yourself when you’re playing Football Manager 2012 later in the year

　　好了,天色已晚,关于青年球员和随机人的博客也该到此为止了——偷偷地告诉大家,关于这块我还有很多新鲜玩意没来得及爆料呢——可是俗话说得好,百闻不如一见不是,所以敬请大家期待一个月后即将发售的FM2012,有更多的惊喜等着你哦！
