Hex Editing Thread

[Brock]

I got my hands on choops 2k7 for the ps2, and was finally able to figure out saves, etc I don't think it's possible to convert this years rosters into the ps2 version of the 2k7 or 2k8. I copied the name bank and where the players start in the hex, and the file size was significantly bigger. I also noticed that the ps2 version is missing a few attributes.

Oh, well thanks for looking! I wished we had a generic 2ksports editor like we do for the EA Sports games so that we could edit these databases cross-platform.

Here's the updated rosters with the records, championships, etc re-done. I also fixed the issue with the created teams. And added a txt file for xbox users who may possibly want to do this for their rosters. Credit goes to Bpurc22 as these are his rosters, and I just edited them.

Also, I had to rename/edit some coaches from some smaller/major schools because they were still at their previous schools. I fixed a few, so beware and let me know if they're any duplicates, and if I made any errors.

For the coach records you're suppose to search the default coaches record (in hex) and replace with the new record. You have to assign a hotkey and use paste special in order to paste from notepad into whatever hex editor you're using. Never mind the ages also, you can do that in game.

Good job on this! Question, the Big Ten conference you renamed only has 12 spaces, how do I move in Nebraska and Rutgers?

I used therostermaker's guide which has the sec in the a-10 conference, the only conference ingame that has 14 spots. It not entirely realistic, but you can't edit member sizes.

Thank you, if you're on the ps3 I've included rosters with updated coaches and conferences as close as possible to real life. There's a few things we still want to achieve but may not be possible do to being hardcoded.

Also for xbox users:
The conference offsets are at 00367B64

If I'm not mistaken I think it's the amercian east, then followed by two big blocks of info, then after it it should be ACC, and then the rest of the conferences as usual. The conferences are going to look about the same so it shouldn't be too confusing. the "07xx" xx's being the different number and/or letters, this is the founded date, two places in front of it will be the conference sizes.

0000 - small
0001 - mid-major
0002 - major
0003 - power

I'm on the PS3. I've just tried your customized roster. Awesome! Very close to real life, except coach age and conference names. But i guess you posted earlier, that if you start a new dynasty, you can customize the conf for good. would be great if you can find out how to put the starting date of a dynasty in 2015/16. btw. didnt find the posted offsets in my savegame.
