I opened the EA DB Editor, i clicked saved Config, I saved Config as generic.xml. But I get an error in the Editor when trying to load that config. What am I doing wrong?

Try this one. Don't load file, just load config and see if the config loads by itself.

Does Modio 3 not work anymore? Modio 5?

I am having the same problem with my PS3 game. I just downloaded your generic config and loaded it but I don't see a "COCH" or "PLAY" tab.

If I run Initial Setup on my Xbox 360, will that fix Modio 3 not being able to find my USB?

Re: NCAA 2014 FOUR Team Playoff Guide, Plus more Modding

I have successfully used the editor to create a 4 team playoff. Now I am trying to start a new dynasty with a created coach and realigning conferences but I am getting an error when I try to load the file in the DB editor. If I start a new dynasty without adding a new coach or realigning conferences, I have no trouble using the editor. Any ideas?

I am using a 32 GB flash drive to transfer the files.

Oh I see. Did u do the copy image thing on the original post like PocketScout said on the Original Post? Reason I ask is because I'm having trouble getting my 360 to get the file

No. (not sure why my reply has to have at least 10 letters)

Re: NCAA 2014 FOUR Team Playoff Guide, Plus more Modding

I am not sure if it is the created coach or the conference realignment that is screwing things up but it has to be one of them. What I don't understand is I have also successfully used the editor for a dynasty in which I have already played about 6 seasons and I have a created coach and I have realigned conferences in that dynasty.

I see. Did u use BruteForce?

Yes. I never have a problem with BruteForce, just the DB editor.

If I format my xbox 360 to factory settings/initial setup, will Modio 3 be able to read my USB? Thanks

Once you have the file decrypted (I use PS3, so after BruteForce on the save folder) open Generic EA DB editor, and select create config. Save the config, I save mine as "generic.xml," and then open the save file using the generic xml.

Once the save file is open, find the COCH tab and export it to excel. Sort the sheet by CCID, and look for duplicates. As you find them, delete one of them in the editor.

Do the same for the PLAY tab, and sort by PGID, and look for duplicates.

Those are the two main culprits I have found, so if that doesn't work, we'll have to find other places the duplicates show up.

I dont see the COCH tab either, nor the CCID ...

So before work, I was able to pull up Pocket Scouts editor just to see if the darn thing would even load my 2019 Dynasty. And it did. With no issue. And I do see where you can edit recruits, which is great. But PocketScout doesnt have an area to update the Rosters. Any idea why Xan's config wont work after 2018? I enjoy updating the weights and size of my players using his config as well. If anyone has any info on that it would be much appreciated.

It isn't specific to a season. You experienced in that season because it was the after the 6th season (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), but it doesn't always happen then. Here's the bug description for the editor: The error happens when adding players to the drop down lists. It occurs because EA reuses player IDs every 6 seasons (4 years + redshirt + hardship / medical redshirt which was never implemented). There is a bug in the game where players are not always deleted when they should be (EA bug). These players are unassigned to teams, so it isn't an issue for game play but the editor expects a unique id that has been erroneously duplicated (EA bug).

If you have Visual Studio and are familiar with C#, you can download the source code and fix this error. The file name is Form1.cs. Line 312 contains the statement:
lMappedFields[i].KeyToIndexMappings.Add(rf.key, ((ComboBox)lMappedFields[i].EditControl).Items.Count - 1);

Put a try.. catch block around this line and the error will get caught and the program execution will continue to load the file.

EDIT: I've attached my version of the editor that catches this bug. Don't blindly trust me. Scan this for viruses / trojans. I know that if I upload garbage that I will get banned from here and I like the roster files created by the hard working people on this site. This is just the replacement for the EXE, so just drop this version into your existing editor directory.
