Re: Madden Roster Editor V1
I am on an Xbox 360.I do not know about how to use the Roster Editor with other systems. To edit M15 rosters (or M25, etc.):
1. Create two folders where you will place your roster files to edit them.Yes, you need two.I use the names “default” and “edit,” for example.The names don’t matter.You will see in the steps below when to use them.
2. Load your roster in Madden 15, save it to USB Stick.
3. Take the USB Stick out and put it in a USB port on your pc.Close any Windows or system popups that ask if you want to open (do not try to use Windows to open/edit your roster files).
4. Open Modio.Select the roster file(s) you want edit (“open a save” at the bottom of the Modio window).
5. Select “USB stick.”Select the game that the file you want to edit are from (usually going to be whichever years of Madden your files are from).
6. Select the file you actually want to edit.Click “Advanced” on the left side of the Modio window.
7. Click the “edit package contents” tab at the bottom.
8. In the next window you will see the roster file in the right pane.Ignore everything else.Highlight and right click the roster file and “save as” to your edit folder (step 1) and your default folder.You need two copies because one is to edit and the other is just to copy and paste a line of numbers from.I don’t know how all of this works, but the copied and pasted set of numbers makes the game identify your edited roster file as if it is unedited (i.e. corrupt).Leave Modio open.
9. Open the Madden 12 Roster Editor.Click File, Open Roster, and find the roster file that you want to edit.At this point, you are free to edit the roster file and simple edits should not cause any problems.
10. Save after each thing you edit, in case there is the odd error and you have to close the Roster Editor.You may be able to continue if you get one of the errors, but I don’t.I close it right that point and just open it again with the Editor and continue on.
11. When you are done, save and close the file.
12. Now open HxD.Click File>Open and open the roster file in your DEFAULT folder.Click File>Open and open the roster file you just edited in your EDIT folder.They will both be open.If you have a short attention span and can’t keep the two straight (like me), the path to the file that is displayed shows on the banner at the top of the HxD window (in this case, will end with either “default” or “edit” so you know which one it is.
13. In the second row (00000010) of your DEFAULT copy (unedited), copy from 00 through 0B.You are highlighting from left to right, 12 letter/number pairs.
11. Switch to EDIT copy (the one you edited).Highlight the second row from 00 through 0B, right click and “paste write.”Save the EDIT copy and close HxD.
12. Go to Modio.Remember that you left it open.Right click in the field with the roster file and “Add File.”Find your EDIT version of the roster file (the one you just edited in the Roster Editor and saved in HxD with the pasted in numbers).Double click on it to add.You will get a message that a file already exists with that name, etc.Yes, overwrite it.
13. Now click “Done” at the bottom right of the Modio window.
14.The next window should be Advanced Save Information.Click “Save Changes.”Click the “General” tab on the upper left.
15. On the bottom of the next window, click “Save to {whatever number] on USB Stick.”
16. Once it saves to USB Stick, you have your completed, edited roster.
17. Take the USB Stick out of the USB port on your pc, insert it into a USB port on your Xbox.Now load the roster from USB, save to hard drive, and that’s it.If you get a corrupted file message, you either did NOT follow the steps above, or added a step of your own.
Is it that easy?Depends on what you are editing.You can use the editor to change lots of things, like make a player younger, change appearance, and change player information that the game won’t let you (portraits, audio file used for the player, etc.).
The roster file structure is a bit different from Madden 25 to Madden 15, but you can import/export them.How to do that?
1. Open a Madden 25 (or other roster file that it can handle), right click on the player you want to add in Madden 15, and “export player.It will pull the Excel csv file of the player.Open the individual player csv with Excel.
2. In the M25 (or earlier) player csv
- delete the following columns: TCFM, TCSM
- change TRCS to PYCS
- change TRCF to PYCF
- Save the player csv file
I didn’t bother to look up PYCF to find out what it is, so I just set it at 50.
3. Open the Madden 15 roster you want the player added to.Right click and “import player” into the roster, save.You would be doing this during Step 10, above.
I have a Madden 25 roster someone made that has legends from the hidden roster added.I was able to add Mike Webster (70s-80s player), with the portrait.I tried to add Hines Ward, but his portrait did not show up.I am guessing that legend portraits might all still be there, but retired players were wiped for Madden 15.Madden 25 still had portraits of players who had been in the game over the past couple years, but M25 may not.I did not check any others.
Some other tips: do not edit player height in the roster editor.The result will be a 4’10” player when you open the roster in the game.You can edit it, but must export the individual player csv, open it in Excel, and edit the PHGT (enter inches).If you are looking to edit anything that you can edit in the game itself, jusr do it in the game and reduce the chance of errors in the editor.Although you can make a player a rookie again, the game will not count them as one.You can probably reset career stats, but I don’t know how to do that.
I’m not an expert on this thing.I learned how to use it from a YouTube tutorial posted by someone about 85 pages back (not exactly, just a random guess).I figured out the difference in file structure only by doing a column-by-column comparison of the M25 csv against the M15 csv.
I do not know anything about stadiums.
The only thing I do with audio files is edit the csv in Excel.For example, if you create a player named “Smith,” but the commentator won’t say his name, export the csv for an existing player with the name “smith” and find his PCMT number.Export your created player csv, open it Excel, put that same PCMT as the existing player into your created player’s PCMT, save, and “replace” your player in the editor with the edited csv.Now the commentator will say “Smith” for your player in general situations.There are other audio numbers in the csv, but they are for player-specific audio and you don’t want them.For example, you do not want the commentator talking about Alex SMITH’s stats last year when your created Smith makes a tackle.Yes, you are a Smith, but you are not THAT individual Smith.
You can do a lot of things with the editor, but I don’t mess with a whole lot.If you follow the steps above, exactly, you WILL be successful.I am a 40+ techo-idiot, and I can do it, even intoxicated.Just follow the steps.
Sorry for the wall of text.I hope it is helpful to someone.
