If I recognize that editing the database is the least fun part, and more that of FIFA STREET, which has very different things to the versions of Football field.

FIFA STREET PS3 (X360) - Console Editing
Sorry for having been so inactive; I didn't have access to my PS3 for a long time. However recently I have tried to continue the project using RPCS3 and FIFA Street is playable. My priority was to first add new functions (if possible) to the LUA files, as the graphical stuff/assets are easy to add especially with all the stuff we have on these forums for FIFA 14/16 and the FIFA Convertor tool, making it easy to add them.
I have also tried to make changes in the database, especially regarding adding more teamkits, boots and streetkits as unlockables in the World Tour mode. Unfortunately adding anything in the database regarding teamkits (like a new template), causes World Tour to crash at the start. Adding new boots in the database also still don't show up when selecting boots. This makes it seem like some of those things are hardcoded in the game or being controlled in an external (non-database) file. I still couldn't find a solution (it's not the most important thing, since we can add custom kits/boots automatically thanks to the .lua files/revolution mod, it's just to make it possible to do so for the ingame created team in World Tour).
One of my "dreams" would be to have the ability to edit/create stadiums using Blender, but unfortunately FIFA 3D Importer/Exporter doesn't correctly display the FIFA Street venues and I am not one to know how to fix it. That would also make it able to add more events in World Tour for example, although at the moment we can change textures of the already existing venues to make variations and add them as a new event (for example, the NY indoor stadium is in reality a basketball stadium, so I can change the floor textures to resemble the floors of NBA teams and therefore make variations of the stadiums, so that the experience is at least slightly different).
I have been able to add female players to the game as well, thanks to the female high quality crowds body and clothes models from the 2014 FIFA World Cup game and Tokke's FIFA Converter.
However, something I did find out thanks to RPCS3's log file, is that when booting up the game, the game searches for the files data8.big and data9.big (which don't exist). So instead of needing to have all files externally or editing patch.big or editing/regenerating .bh files, we simply can add a lot of files into 2 new .big files and name them data8.big and data9.big for the game to read our custom changes. I haven't tested other FIFA games on RPCS3 to check the log and see if other FIFA games (on console and PC) also support this option, meaning those games could also benefit from it
So in reality, at least for the PS3, this means that all versions of the game can be supported. Whether you have an ISO version, a folder format game, a PSN digital version or the disc version, the game is fully moddable.

This is VERY interesting news. Great work, I'm really looking up to it. Do you think a version of CM can be compatible with FS2012? Maybe CM12 or around that?
Unfortunately I am a noob in creating programs (although I had learned how to do so many years ago, stupid from me not continue with it), so I would need someone to know how to do it. I think Tokke is the man at the moment who knows all those things, but he has been doing/is doing a lot of things already and I don't want to bother him that much. But I will ask and see what he thinks.

It is interesting about data8.big and data9.big I used to use data4 to test things since it is the most empty of the main .big, obviously this will serve to add non-existent things in the other big, for replacements patch.big still has that Point in favor, I had already solved the deficit of faces and hair of the players with generic faces by adding more models to the game I will move them to a data8 or 9 with this no players without faces or bald heads appear except those that are signed with specific faces in The database, I also had to fix another problem that the game works only with 7 models of facial beauty and that also generated players without face textures due to the higher ids that the databases of the most modern editions have.
The game loads the data.big files in order, so first data0, then data1, then data2, etc. In the end it then loads patch.big. This is why the core assets (like the database, lua files and core elements) are in data0.big, as they are the first files that need to be loaded.
With the data8 and data9 files, the game will read them later, so now we have 3 .big files (data8, data9 and patch) we can use as "updates" without needing to put everything in external files/folders or regenerate and therefore keep the folder structure clean. So you can also use data8 and data9 as "replacements" for assets already in the game, as they will be read later.

Well, I'm testing with the ridges to replace old ones and there is no effect, only with the teams that do not have if they are shown, patch.big is backed by the executable eboot.bin and fifazf.self, the eboot of the updates is the one who sends once installed that is why it is possible to make blurays cfw2ofw backup conversions work, encrypting NPD + NPD-eboot of the updates. One of the things that led me to try putting things in the .big was that some menu graphics do not read well from external folders the game gets out of control and even crashes, so I guess the game reads the elements better or faster that are inside the big.
Yeah you are right. Patch.big should be used to replace/overwrite existing files.
However in data8 and data9.big we can add new assets/files that aren't already in the game.

This game has loose ends everywhere, apparently EA could not specify everything it had planned for it, I just realized that the game has specific faces for some legends such as Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo and Figo although the latter is missing the hairlod , but these players do not appear in the game database, so those models are dead weight within the .big and thus there are other files such as crests etc.

By the way @ fifayoun a few months ago I saw that someone is working on their own mod, but what caught my attention is that they used video material from volta itself, I guess they are vp6, I remember someone mentioned in another forum that it is possible to overwrite the vp6 to insert your own videos although it did not detail how to do it.

I think they are just the hidden players that EA didn't bother to remove, they're also present in the files of FIFA 11/12. Some of them also have their minifaces left in the game, Van Bronckhorst even received a new one despite retiring the previous season.
I found this list of hidden players on the forums from around that period, I'd assume most of these guys are still present in FIFA Street aswell.
Roberto Carlos was still an active player at the time though, playing for Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia.

Indeed the faces of those players are in data3.big or at least the ones I have searched for, only the hairlod model is missing, I suppose they can be recovered from some version of FIFA 12, a sample of Freddy Ljungberg and Jay Jay Okocha.

I haven't checked it myself in FIFA 12, but he used to have a face in FIFA 08 according to sofifa.com.
I would be surprised if they kept him in that long, but according to the list I found they did?

Hi there, which tools do you guys used for opening the .BIG and viewing the textures?
I've wanted to know if this Messi Shirt from the Trailer still on the game files. thanks!

Hello, my friend! Thank you for share this work here! I could add new faces in the game, but I can't open the DB file that you sent here! Could you please send me other DB file? I wanna try to edit that, but it's not opening on DbMaster 11

I think it has to do something with PC architecture; on my laptop I can open them with DB Master, but on my PC I can't.
I think you need to use this tool to convert the database from X360/PS3 format to PC format; then it will open in DB Master (but you will have to use the tool to convert back from PC to X360/PS3 format again before playing the game).
