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

Good work! I spent hours comparing files, changing one ability at a time and couldn't figure out what exactly was changing in the file. There was A LOT of things changing at different places each time I only changed one ability.

Is it possible that some of the things that change when you change the abilities are the underlying ratings?

Same thing I was thinking. Maybe the hidden ratings are connected to each ability and tier.

On another note catcatch22 thanks for the motivation, i figured it out too. I didn't know which ability 10 was, now I know it's soft hands. It doesn't seem to help him catch which is a good thing since he's a QB.

Once again, great work guys...do you know what the offsets are in order to change and add abilities. Also, if you guys could write up a little tutorial on how you did this?

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

Husker I only created 1 player and the offset he's at is : 000829F0. The abilities I know the numbers too are:
10 - Soft Hands
02 - Scrambler
04 - Rocket Arm
08 - speed burner
05 - possesion receiver
06 - power?

It's for the xbox 360, there is no pc version.

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

It seems the player abilities are coded to each position cause with a RB i got these...

01 - Reach Tackle
02 - Leadership Bonus
03 - combo 01 and 02
04 - Footsteps
05 - combo 04 and 01
06 - combo 04 and 02
07 - combo 01 and 02 and 04
08 - cutback
09 - guessing it would be a combo of 08 and 01
10 - guessing it would be a combo of 08 and 02

The amount of time it would take to find each and every combo for each and every position would take probably weeks.

That would imply that the abilities give a bonus to underlying ratings. I know that in 2k5 things like Catching for a QB default to like 10. It would be interesting to see if a QB with Soft Hands has better hands (however slight) than one without.

I think you're right. 10 on a qb is soft hands but on a receiver it's spin. I was able to give my silver receiver 5 abilities. Tried to give him 6 and the spin went away. So 5 is the limit for any tier.
05 is route god on a receiver.

Since they are Hex codes, I'd guess that 0A would be the combo of 08 and 02, since you have 0A - 0F between 09 and 10 in hexadecimal.

Do you mean Cyclone or Spin? Spin is a defensive move, so you wouldn't notice spin unless you had him lined up as a DE or DT.

Anyways, could one of you guys post a tutorial on how to edit the abilities in the hex editor? It would speed up the process if we had more people discovering the abilities numbers.

No it said spin and he had the spin symbol underneath his photo. You can put any ability on any player using the hex.

I'll try to explain how to do it.
First make a new roster file and create 1 player, give him 1 ability transfer it to the pc. Now go back and change that 1 ability to something else. Then put that roster on the pc too. Now load up both of these in the hex editor and do a file compare. There are many differences in the file, you are looking for the string with mostly zeros and 2 differences in them. You have to count that yourself. when you see it you will know. I changed the charset to dos/ibm mode, and look at the characters on the right, the scramble character is a black face, rocket arm is a black diamond.
