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

Hmmm.... Are you sure it must be saved as FXG?

That's the only way the 360 recognizes it as a season file.

Send me the Exact Roster you want with exact heights and weight.

Also include the kind of build you want like 2G/3S/6B or all 11 Gold.

Ill get it done, Im kind of good and fast at it now.

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

As far as checking it out for league play, I maxed out all my coverage and speed abilities on bronze and silvers on defense and the difference is NIGHT and DAY!!

They intercept 90% of balls that touch there hands, closing speed is way more realistic.

Basically if you throw a bone headed ball its going to get picked which simulates more NFL type play then regular APF does.

Against lobby scrubs I average 7 INTs a game with the build which it should be that way. If you dont know what you are doing. NFL players dont drop balls just because they play defense.

We should be able to edit everything else (names, ht, wt,abilities) correct? We want 2G, 3S, 6B.
I believe we just need the 11 w/ 5 abilities for the league. If that is correct, don't worry about the other details.

Once I send you the file you can only edit Name, Height, and Weight. You can't edit abilities on Silver and Bronze.

Also when you edit them it messes up there attributes.

Hmm, so it couldn't be used for a league then? We thought once each slot had 5 abilities, they could be edited.

Thanks for PM Shotgun. I'll try it, but you are telling me we can't edit it, which will not work for the league.

We may have to wait for a basic editor. We will extend the $40 offer to the 1st person to post a workable basic editor (just CAPs, 11 players, 5 abilities, name, ht. wt, skin color, build)

I think it could be used for a league it's just that you would have to specify everything beforehand. A lot of the abilities and ratings are linked and when you go in and edit the abilities in the game, it will then change the ratings.

Also, due to the fact that created players appear at different locations on every roster file, I think a basic APF 2k8 editor might not be possible. Hopefully, someone can figure out something, but it would be really difficult.

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

See the thing is there isn't an option to turn on 5 abilities for silver, bronze and gold. You have to give them extra abilities through the hex editor.

Once you get the player in game and you try to give them other abilities you lose the ability and it reverts to 1 for bronze and 2 for silver.

You could then make all 11 players gold players but once again if you don't have all the achievements, when you tried to make a change the game would then revert your player to 3 abilities for a gold. To give the players the abilities you want you have to do it through the editor and not the game.

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

Thanks guys, we have to await a basic editor, if doable. Several could figure out the hex and build a team, but we have 20 owners this season. I imagine most wouldn't even attempt it.

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

How long does it take you guys to make 1 team in the hex editor?

Just wondering since I am thinking about giving it a shot during the holiday break while I have some free time.

If you are only working with 11 CAPs, then it probably takes less than an hour once you get the hang of it. Doing most of your editing in the game helps a bunch.

If you are trying to edit CAPs along with generics and legends, it could take a whole lot longer depending upon how specific you want to get.

I highly suggest messing with it. It is a whole lot of fun making teams like you want them.

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

On the file I received from Super Shotgun, having one team file will not work for leagues mainly because the positions are locked. I could edit team name, colors, player's name, number, etc. I could take away abilities, but not add abilities. This could work in our 3 ability league. You would give each position the 5 most commonly used abilities and have each owner delete several. You can have a bronze TE Todd Heap with 3 abilities.

I could edit 10 of the 11 players, 1 froze the game every time I tried, so he would have to be remade I imagine.

I would imagine the above gives hope that a basic editor would work.

If someone was fast and would build perhaps 7 type teams (e.g. an offense team, running team, pass defense team, etc.)... league members could select the type team they wanted and then edit accordingly (positions would be set).

e.g. Run defense team =

G OLB
G SS
S QB
S OLB
S HB
B CB
B TE
B FS
B WR
B DT
B WR

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

Yeah I don't plan on messing with generics.

I'm just looking to build a 11 CAP team using the classic GGSSSBBBBBB format with abilities at:

Gold - 5 abilities
Silver - 4 abilities
Bronze - 3 abilities

You hex guys think I could do it in about an hour?

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

We are putting this up for league vote. If league approves, Super Shotgun will build us 10 team types (that should cover almost everyone's team preferences).

We will select a team type with 11 players that have 5 of the most commonly used abilities. We will then edit team and players and deselect the abilities we do not desire based on the league team build guidelines.

The one player that was freezing was a QB with an unused ability (tough as nails).

We'll see how the league vote goes with our 20 owners. Thanks everyone for the assistance.
