So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

I've taken a break from editing, the stuff I really wanted to do was change the default teams to real teams of the past. That undertaking will take some time so I am trying to save up some energy and time for that task.

I need to take a break from it as well. I have finals coming up, so maybe in a few weeks I'll get back on board.

I haven't really found anything as significant as you guys did. For instance, I found out how to change the depth chart of your created team through the hex editor, but you can just do that in game anyways.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

Can anybody upload a vid tutorial for this? Here's what I would like to do:
1. Change my created team name.
2. Add 2 more abilitys to my created gold players(I only have 3) to make 5
3. Change the names and numbers for the generic players on my team.
4. Change the name and number for my bronze legend.
Or
Just show me how to change just the generic player names and numbers.
Can anybody please help?

I don't have a video camera, so I can't post anything, but I can help you some.

1. No one currently, that I know of, knows how to change a created team's name, unless it is one of names in the list in the team name area. There are only about 30 available. I couldn't find anywhere in the file where the bank of all the created team names were located.

2. Look at page 13 for help and get to work on playing around with it. Record your results as you go along because we are doing the same thing. It appears each number does different abilities depending in which slot it is in and what the player's position is.

3. The players' names are mixed in the with the legends' names toward the bottom of the file. Simply substitute the name you want for the generic, but only if it takes up the same number of spaces in the file.

4. Number is easy to change. Go to page 13 for help on that one, and the name is down toward the legends' names close to the bottom of the file.

Also, I highly recommend Hex Workshop to help keep track of your work. Hope that helps.

Speed burner seems to be universal for all positions using 08 in column 02. I tried it for defensive and offensive positions.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

I really think it's going to take all of us to figure out some of the abilities that you can't give players in the game, but if we pull together our info, it shouldn't take too awfully long.

These are the abilities that we need to find:

Swim for OLBs, DEs, and DTs
Tough as Nails for QBs
QB Evade for QBs
Return Specialist for WRs (I think; I couldn't remember which group can't have it)

The rest of the abilities aren't too hard to find, but these could take some time.

I found some abilities for QB that I had posted earlier like tough as nails.

Abilites for QB:
01 route god
02 strength bonus
03 finesse and Power
04 Power
08 tough as nails
80 signal stealer
81 deception
82 combo of secure ball and bump buster
84 swim

Are these for the first space after the jersey number? I'm just making sure because the numbers are different for every one of the 13 spaces for abilities. 01 in one space doesn't equal the 01 for another space.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

The abilities work on the generics without them being tiered. As far as the 06 and 0A thing. I found that when it's 06 and you edit a generic, if they are already on a team nothing changes but the name, but if it's 0A, editing them while on a team will change everything you edited, without having to go thru the process of getting them back on the team.



Some abilities:
DEFENSIVE END
STAMINA - 04 in COLUMN 02
SPEED AND STRENGTH - OA in COLUMN 02
LEADERSHIP - 02 IN 0D column
Sack Master - 40 in column 0E
Pass Rush bonus - 04 in coloumn 0F
Speed burner - 08 in column 02

Some generics and there offset:
Curtis Little #96 - DE Pass Rush - 000632C0

Howard Flemons #93 - DE Balanced - 000637F0

Doug Garner #95 - DE Run Support - 00063D20

Joey George #94 - DE Pass Rush - 00064250

Victor Jones #96 - DE Balanced - 00064780

Marcellus Odom #93 - DE Run Support - 00064CB0

I actually found the first generic pretty early....Joey Barrett of the Scorpions. He's offset at D610 for me.

So it is possible to change all generic in the game. I experimented by creating an all New York Jets secondary with just generics and it worked perfectly (but they were on the Scorpions). If we can just figure out a way to change team name and logos, an NFL edited APF may be closer than we think.

Spin for LBs.

I was just looking for the generics that are available to us.

It is for WRs. Did 2k ever say why we can't give Return Specialist to WRs in game?

I don't think that team logos can be changed. If I remember correctly, the logo artwork is pulled directly from the disk and can not be changed. I may be wrong, but I thought that was the case. It is still great news that Generics can be edited and given abilities, that alone is awesome for me. Great work by you guys!

Well not altered per se, but I wonder if we can place custom logos and uniforms over the preset ones in season mode. For instance, can I replace the Miami Sharks logo and uniform code with my Miami Dolphins uniform code.

I see what you're saying. That is a good question.

I figured out how to change the names in the save season file, see the first post I made. The good thing about that is, the save season file is pretty much just like the roster file. Also, if you change the team names in the season file, it changes the names of the teams that are not even in the season file.

I've already done this long ago. The problem is I can not alter the default teams. I can edit my created teams logo and color scheme through the HEX editor but not the default teams. I spent an hour searching last night and I can not figure out how they ordered the default teams and logos or the exact way to edit them.

The logos are listed first here at offset - IF3220
Color palettes are listed first here at offset - IF0040

There are other areas in the file that alter jersey style, stadium, and team name, but I only care at this moment about changing the default teams unis and colors.
