NFL Head Coach 06 Slider's and Player Attribute Editing
Hello, so im Brandon and I know you love NFL Head Coach just as much as I do if you're reading this. So what I am going to descibe is how to get sliders to work correctly and get past error messages like "no MSVCR71.dll found", and also start your exploration on player attribute changing.
So first I'm just going to explain HCSettings or sliders. It's easiest, attached I will have, HCSettings.zip , mfc71.zip , mscvp71.zip ,and once downloaded. double-click or right click each one and Extract each one to the same place (ie: Desktop, My Downloads).
Go to said place (ie: My Documents, My Downloads, Desktop etc.) and copy both MSCVP71.dll, and mfc71.dll. Head to 'This PC', or 'My Computer' where you can see the C: and D: drive. We are only going into the (C
drive. Double-click the (C drive and then double click the Windows folder. Inside are two folders we need to go ahead and post these in.
We really only need to post it in one but many people I see online still have a problem so this appears to have fixed it for everyone. Double-click the System32 folder and right click anywhere in the white not on a file, and allow them to paste into the folder. Great.
Next click the back button to be inside the Windows folder again and double-click on a folder named SysWOW64. Right click in the white, blank areas, not on any files, and click Paste. Sweet.
Now go back to 'This PC', or 'My Computer' where you can see the (C and (D drive. Double-click the (C drive and double click the Program Files (x86). Next double-click EA SPORTS (maker of the best game of all time) and double-click the NFL Head Coach folder. You will notice alot of files including folders like Autorun, Data0, html, Support, just to let you know you are in the right place right now. In this folder is a file named mscvr71.dll, it would be easier to click on the tabs in the window like Name and Type to find it but right-click the file and click Copy, or just Ctrl-C when you have the file selected.
Again, we need to go to 'This PC' or 'My Computer' where the (C and (D drives are. Double-click (C drive and double-click the Windows folder. We are going to paste this in both the System32 folder and the SysWOW64 folders so go into those folders, right-click on the blank area in the folder and click Paste. Once you have pasted in both folders you can now use Player and CPU Sliders, adjust Quarter Length, Skill Level, PLAY Injuries, SIM Injuries, allow Game Logs of each game to be typed in a txt file you can go back and see all the stats of each game, and an option for a Windowed game which I've used a couple times which is nice sometimes.
I used to love Runescape too and it was so theraputic just to go mine coal and come back to the bank and go through the Agility Course. Same with Head Coach day-after-day getting better as a team, making moves as a GM/Headcoach (Bill O'Brien is my Coach of my home-town), and sometimes having the patience to want to go into each practice and tell your Quarterback, "On this play this Sunday, look short let's not worry about the long pass on this one, end up hopefully coming back in your favor on gameday. I love this game sorry had to unfurl it on you, but hey how can people not love this game, especially football fans.
Anyways, go back to the very beginning, back to said place (ie: My Documents, My Downloads, Desktop etc.) where the MSCVP71.dll, mfc71.dll, and HCSettings is. Now if you see HCSettings.exe, Readme.txt, TDBInterface.dll, we need to get these into a New Folder called HCSettings. So right click on your background and scroll over New►New Folder. Click it and name the new folder HCSettings. Click off the folder and Copy, Or Cut, HCSettings.exe, Readme.txt, TDBInterface.dll by click and drag-highlighting all three and right clicking one of them and clicking Cut, or Copy. (Cut just moves these from here to there not a copy). This is an okay option it makes it cleaner if you Cut.
Double-click the HCSettings folder you just created and inside the folder, right click on the blank area in the folder and click Paste. All three files should be inside this folder now. This may be an unnessesary step but this is to prevent any problems for anybody.
You are now geared up to Use HCSettings! Thanks to the Genius' that brought these great tools to fruition and I just want to share my knowledge and pass the torch so we can do even better things with this, the Greatest Game of All-Time.
Oh, so brief explaination on Loading your save file in HCSettings. So NFL Head Coach when you start playing saves a folder named NFL Head Coach, usually in My Documents. (If you dont find this folder here I unfortunately do not know of any other place they might be because after downloading the game more than 4 times and it's always come to My Documents. I'm sorry if it's not in there but just look around for a folder called NFL Head Coach and has Saved , System , Temp , and sometimes coach.ini in it. Easy?innit
Go into the Saved folder and you should find each of your saves as a Folder called Career0, and if you have multiple saves (Career1, Career2, Career3 etc.) I believe the later numbers are the newest? I could be wrong. One of these folders has your save file in it. I have belief you will figure out which one. When in doubt go into the game and load up which one you want to use these sliders for. Go to Load/Save in the game and Delete every other file with the ( [ ) ( ] ) bracket, except the one you like.
Click your save. It will load up with Qtr length 5 and all the sliders set to it's default setting. Adjust it to you liking. Apparently I hear that setting them just right can give a really realistic performance in stats and on the field but each slider needs to be just right. Obviously very fun to put the sliders to Max and go, but sometimes you'll still lose. Sometimes Coaches, lose the game
.
Once your done with your edits Click Save. It will make an extra file in your Career# folder which is a backup of the file, but with .bak at the end.
If something goes wrong with your save, try going into the Career0 or whichever# folder and deleting the file that isnt faded or says .bak at the end. Then erase the .bak at the end and load the game up again. It will be from, before the game had the HCSettings applied to it.
Load up the Game once more Load your Save or "Continue My Career" and start dominating in User played games, and on Sim alot more. It seems Coach levels really do impact games, and after your staff gets high levels from having good games, it will be way easier to blow out and start crushing opponents easily, maybe 2nd or 3rd year. But it's fun to come up from nothing and then crush it I love it.
So there are the HCSettings Tutorial. You can email me at [email protected] for questions.
