When you want to add two abilities together that are in the same slot, first convert them to decimal from hexadecimal and then add them together. From there, you can then convert that number back into hexadecimal form. For example, Rocket Arm (04) and Laser Arm (08) added together equal 12 in decimal form but it should then be converted to hex which is 0C, this is the number you will put in that space. It helps when dealing with large values.

You're assuming that I (we) read this sub-forum daily....what i mean is...please explain or direct me to an explanation. I dunno what that means. Thanks.

(The other thread is pretty long.)


Edit: Thanks for breaking down the process, MSChrisS

Edit Again: Figured out what you said...kinda..thanks

Can you not just enter the decimal number as is?

I have done this with some of the linemen attributes that occupy the same slot, and they show up in-game fine.

For example, I have Lions center Dominic Raiola with:

I entered "23" (20 + 01 + 02) into my 3rd ability slot and all three attributes show up fine when I load the roster in-game.

I think the game can read it either way.

It works for small values but once you start getting into triple digits, you'll run into problems. I just find it easier to do it for all of them so I don't mess up something. It's just my personal preference. If it works for you, keep doing it.

Good to know. The highest value I've gotten in one ability slot was in the 80s, but I can see how you would have to convert it to hex code is the value ended in the triple digits.
