FlyingFinn's APF2K8 Editor? What happened?

[jyoung]

Also, one other area that might be of interest to you is the eight bytes directly above the facemask and tier.

Spoiler

The area I've boxed above has something to do with the name database, but I'm not sure exactly what it does.

All I know is that, when I run into an instance where two edited names have become "linked," such that changing one person's name automatically changes the other player's name, I can enter new values in this area to eradicate the "link" between the two players.

Rewriting those bytes also helps if you get stuck with a player whose name has become damaged beyond repair in the create-a-player in-game.

Thanks for the information.

I'll poke around and see if I can make sense of those offsets in relation to names.

Are you saying that the legend names start here?

Can someone please explain how in the world do i use this Bruteforce save data to decrypt my PS3 APF 2K8 files and the usbxtafgui doesn't work.

Yes, that is the offset where some (but not all) of the legend names are found. Mike Haynes (changed to Mark Smith after 2K Sports' patch) is the first legend in that fairly long list.

Again though, changing the names in that location will not affect the play-by-play names. It is just a cosmetic way to alter names. Plus you cannot exceed the existing character limit for each player slot or it will break the file.

The text you see immediately following his name, years played, and teams played for, is the same text the game uses in the loading screens when displaying player trivia. Only a few legends have loading screen text.

If you go to offset 0000D180, you will find that Mike Haynes is also the first legend player listed on The Wasps, who appear as the first CPU team on the file. This offset is where you will find Mike Hayne's actual player "DNA."

I am not familiar with PS3 editing, as I only edit on the Xbox 360.

I would try asking the guys who have been working on editing Madden 12 for the PS3:
