Excel/Steam

[Tabula Rasa]

Hello Guys,


I'm brand new to the forums but have been playing FOF8 SP for a couple of months now trying to get the Browns back on top. I know that you can export data out of the game but unfortunatly I can't find where those files are placed. I bought the game through Steam. Can someone explain where to find the files?

And a second question regarding exporting the data. Can you view your current roster in an Excel sheet? Because I'm fairly new to the game I have trouble keeping track or comparing the player to each other.


Greetings,

You can open both players windows in FOF8 which is a huge improvement over FOF7.

You can find the exported csv files in your user folders, typical a path such as:

C:\Users\{User Name}\AppData\Local\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football Eight\leaguedata\{League Name}

There is a lot of data. And the csv files have fairly obvious names (player_record, player_rating, etc.). Be advised the player_information csv contains the player names. The other files reference a player_id column. You would need to use an Excel VLOOKUP or other database query tools to join statistical data with player names.
