I hope all of you guys are sending some contributions King Javo's way. You all are running him ragged.

So the editor definitely needs a way to edit uniforms because if you make a team user controlled and do uniform edits in game you lose the ability to edit all of your non star players. Maybe there is a way to edit them but every time I edit a cpu team uniform in game it also changes the non star players to different generics and then when you load that roster in the editor it doesn't show the different generics, instead it shows the original generics. So any edits I make in the editor to the non star players on the cpu teams (edited in game) don't show up in game. Any of the other edits made in the editor to a cpu team's non star players that haven't been edited in game show up just fine.

What if you give everyone in the game a star..even if its a Bronze..maybe a workaround to prevent the generics from being edited?

That's not really possible if you ever plan on actually playing a game. Having more than 11 star players on a team will cause the game to crash as soon as you attempt to play a game.

Yeah, this problem has been known for some time now. You are not supposed to ever go into Manage Team mode to do anything after you make a CPU team playable. This will screw up your roster because the game will attempt to treat the team as a created team and replace your generics. You can, however, still play with the team, edit the playbook and depth chart, and the other countless things you can do with a created team. These changes of course won't save if you turn them into back into a CPU team. If you want to change the uniforms of the CPU teams, you need a hex editor and to watch catcatch22 's videos on YouTube.

Sorry for not using an appropriate thread, but can anyone upload the default roster file? So I can try the editor out, even before i got the game.

Here you go. Default roster with one team and just legends. Sorry I couldn't get it to you sooner.

Its not meant to play...its only meant yo allow customization of a team without resetting generics. Once you edit the team you change the stars back...think it's possible?

This works!! I changed every player to a star player, customized the uniform, went back and changed the players back. Then edited the players and it all showed up and played in game. Thanks for the idea!

Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

What could be my issue? I've edited practically all 1800 players on the editor..the names showed up fine. When I used Finns edtior to edit the facemasks, the names no longer show up they show up as numbers and then the game freezes when I attempt to enter season mode or anyhintg like that. It also says "no free cloned player spots"...what could be my issue? Im editing in Offline mode.

I rebuild the entire name database in offline mode. Finns editor probably can't handle reading them. I would try to not use his editor when editing in offline mode.

Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

Odd thing is... I started over with a fresh default roster to test. Saved it,to the memory,card. Put tho. Card on pc....selected 8 teams as user control...resigned the file using modio...saved usaved using usbfxtui ...and reloaded on Xbox....the same thing happened... All names we're deleted and players we're only identified as "#14" etc... And it still gave me the same message...what could be the issue

Not sure. Maybe someone can test these same steps to see if they get the same experience.

Re: APF 2K8 PC Editor Bugs/Comments/Requests Thread

Think there would b a way to salvage the first file I edited or is it basically a lost cause?

just a wild guess (something to try), check your 42 players, make sure you have 22 players that are listed as generic (I believe it reads 'none' instead of created)... check the other 20 to make sure you only have 11 as gold, sliver, and bronze.


in the current editor, sometimes when you edit a generic it makes him 'created' - change them back to none

I will give it a shot. I honestly would have thought that actually might be the problem IF...i didnt try the default rosters and got the same issue. But I do noticed in Javo's edtior every player is a legend...so I will change them to Generic when I get home and see what I come up with.

I just dont undesrtand, before I did my huge edit of all the palyers in the game to "Modernize" them and get rid of all the old 1920 facemasks, it worked fine. I tested it...edited a couple of players, and it worked. I'm not sure where my issue has come from...
