What the sausage is this? Found it in my Sports Interactive folder


Some of my players and random players from Aston Villa in there, with numbers etc. Anyone explain this?

Can only presume they are part of the 3d graphics, yellow names = yellow card, red name = red card, white = normal.

Have you played with or against these players?

I've this also, but never really cared about it.

It acts as a temp folder too. I suspect these are just pre-generated textures for the match screen. Instead of creating an individual graphic each time it's needed, create 1 texture sheet pre-kick-off and use when needed. More efficient in calls & memory management. The game knows which players will have key highlights before a ball has even been kicked (as result & stats are pre-empted), so can generate them beforehand.

It's a mix of my squad list and the Aston Villa squad list, and I played them in pre-season.

Only seen it today (may have appeared when I tried to screenshot the licencing screen as the game loads up with the Alt + F9 shortcut)

It only happens when you use 3D as well. I never used 3D and never had this, but switched to 3D to see if it could grow on me (it didn't), and I saw this.

[Jackk!]

Don't think it does. I've never used 3D. Use 2D Classic and I don't even use that every match.

It looks like it's a standard template for the 2D match engine to me. With your players names etc

[Jackk!]

Possibly.

It has the R, A, A for Referee and 2 assistants as well as + + P P for Physios and Paramedics(?)
