I don't know if multiple seasons are possible in Franchise mode on the 360... if so, someone should probably test a few to make sure this fix doesn't cause freezes or other problems.

It actually worked?
Sounds really awesome!
I can try this pretty easily on the computer with the wii version, but will need to modify your version. I never tried that idea myself, it was just a theory, due to my analysis of the player profile.


If this area is not free for the player I don't know what it could be. It could be colors for some material or perhaps it could be reserved space for stats during season or something... What tests did you run?

Just checking the rosters, editing player names, starting a game, and then simming a bit in Franchise mode. Of course it froze after the first season, but that generally happens anyway in the PS3 version...

Great work guys. I am going to do some 360 editing now in a few. I will let you know how it goes.

Amazing work!!

Idk about PS3 but on Xbox 360 you can sim quite a few seasons. I once simmed 7 seasons before the game had enough and crashed.

I can say now snowdrift that the space you are using to write the name in the profile is used for something else. I think it might be equipment colors and stuff like that (but have not verified).


The space I was referring to is 70 bytes later in the file than the space you write lastname. But it is only 30 bytes. We need 60 bytes.

In my tests, changing colors and equipment didn't corrupt the player names, which would be expected if that area was used for those things.

Did you notice data being written to that area? Is writing the names there causing any glitches for you?

It's also possible that 2K11 uses that area while 2K10 doesn't.

I will be going through my tests and add offsets to the code. Will notice then if any offsets touch that area. However I found players that don't have FF in the area you are writing, which make me believe we are overwriting something.

@snowdrift, new offsets are pushed (commented out so far).
