FIFA America's Released 7/5

[jschuck12001]

ah yes i see now. im sorry. i forgot that the format changed in mls but ea's version does not correspond with it.

Yeah, its real close as all that changed from the 2011 to 2012 season is that in stead of top 5 in each conference its the the next best 4 in either conference after the 3 top teams in each conference qualify. Im sure EA will update it next year but as you know this game was released during last years MLS season and I would have liked to changed it myself but I would have to redo everything just to fix that 1 change and it would have been a nightmare.

Hi, I would like to first say that your work is amazing!

I have several little questions i don't know if you could help me,

1. I decided to change the stadium for the Impact as I felt juventus did not look enough like Stade Saputo so i changed it for Ivy one, in CM12, it works fine for exibition match, but in a career it is still juventus stadium is there a way i can fix this?

2. I tried to change the concacaf scoreboard with graphic changer and put the ESPN one instead, i press import but then in game it still is the concacaf one.

3. I might be a bit nitpicking here, but i would like to know how i can export Impact kit so i can correct the color a bit i find the blue is a bit lighter than the real kit but this is really a small nitpick as i said

thank you!

Man these aren't short answers

Answers:

1. There is only a few stadiums in the game that can be assigned to teams and still have the edited "real stadium name" show in career mode. It bugs me too but I have like 8 new stadiums I downloaded from this forum and then I cloned the rest and gave the cloned stadium the name and attributes of the team I was assigning it to and then I assigned the stadium to that team in the stadium section in Creation Master 12 or you can use Database Master 12. For example if I cloned a stadium that I liked for Montreal lets say its "Court Lane" so now I have Court Lane and the cloned Court Lane which shows as whatever new Stadium id you assigned to it. Now I just change the name and attributes of the stadium I cloned to Stadium Saputo and then I'm done. I didnt release that way because I did it for both CONCACAF Leagues and MLS and it added like 4GB onto the download. If you do that for all the teams they will show the real stadium names in career mode and it wont take long.

2. The scoreboard files have to be named overlay_2.big for one of the CONCACAF Leagues and overlay_5002.big for the 2nd CONCACAF League. I preset those for you in the switcher files I uploaded and the issue your having is the ESPN sb you want to use is probably named overlay_2002.big and needs to be changed to one of the 2 I mentioned above. If you like playing in the CONCACAF leagues you should go to the folder in the programs root file for ex: I have the graphic switcher installed in CProgram Files (x86)\FIFA Infinity\Graphic Switcher 12 folder so go into that folder and then click on the "modes" folder then you will see scoreboards. Click on scoreboards and find the ones you like and make sure each folder has a copy of that scoreboard with the name overlay_2.big and overlay_5002.big and it should work and if not you have to go to that Graphic Switcher thread and download the .bat file that Scouser made which makes the switcher assign anything you pick to every overlay file which is what I use. I think you can get it on like page 3 or 4 of the graphic switcher thread and you place it in the FIFA 12\Game\data\ui\game\overlays folder then run it.

3. You can download it from the kits thread. It was made by "Newmaker" so you can do that or open the database with CM and export the png's. I would just download it.

We were all noobs one time, hopefully you will get into FIFA and be a contributor at some point. Check the 2 threads below as both have explanations on how to clone a stadium, one of them has a visual explanation. I also put the tutorial for adding a new stadium made by one of our stadium makers in the forum.

Tutorial - How to add a stadium - If you want to download and add the stadiums Ludo, $ido, and Guitmoss made.

What patches, the issue with this years FIFA is all the league patches that have been released are full databases because the only way to import is to manually copy all the data from one patch to the tables for another patch. Its not something a noob will most likely try. Be patient bro, me and Reg Cat are working on something real big that will expand FIFA like no other patch released this year or even in prior years. It may take us a month or so but we have the database done and are putting together the league and tourney structure now.

I think I may have encounter my first problem with the patch. I am playing with Portland Timbers in year 2 of career mode and the game crashes when I play my first game of a back to back. I play FC United in the Quarter Finals of US Cup on the 10th and Dortmund in the WF Challenge on the 11th. I have attempt to play, sim through, and advance the game on the calender, and it always crashes during the Warm Up sims of the FC United game.

I restarted career mode with LA Galaxy and advance the first season through until I reached the same point where I had a Quarter Final and WF Challenge in back to back days, and had no problems. The game didn't crash. Ironically, it was Portland I played in the QF lol.

ETA: Also I used created players and changed their formation for my season with Portland and used a default roster and formation with LA Galaxy. Not sure if that played a part in it.

Did you install the update from page 1? If so Im wondering if starting a new career was needed to remove the bug the patch previously had. The only time I could see an issue with creating players is if you did it in the customize section in the main fifa menu but I'm not sure that is the issue. I can tell you I tested thru 5 seasons when i posted the crash fix last week and had no issues so it might be due to your edits but I cant say for sure. I do need to fix the the schedules as things are a bit cluttered with so many tournaments and I will try to do that by the weekend and upload the files. You wont need to start a new career although you wont see the changes until the next season. Keep me posted and let me know if you have any other issues Laser.

I think I find the issue. It was a combination of dumb things I did. First off I didn't install the update until after the 2nd season, after the schedule was already made. That explains why Portland crashed and LA season didn't. The next thing I did was create players from the custom section on the main screen which caused problems with the Squad files. Basically a series of noob mistakes.

Its all good, use creation Master to add players to the db but if you do you have to start your career over again. It always good to get everything the way you want it before you start a career. I edited the schedule some more to alleviate the clutter when your playing in 4 or 5 tournaments in the same year, can you test it for me? Here is the link for anyone else who wants to test it.

Just paste this txt file to your FIFA 12\Game\dlc\dlc_FootballCompEng\dlc\FootballCompEng\data\compdata folder and overwrite the current schedule.txt in the folder. No need to regenerate but you may not see changes until the following year. This will be more helpful down the road as I gave more flexibility to the cup and league schedules.

Schedule looks good, not as many back to back games clustered in the middle of the season

Good, I wanted a few to make it more challenging but not too many.

So this is a big if. So let me make it semi-appropriate A BIG IF

I may finally pick up 12. I'm already in the process of updating NASL/USLPro kits for my 11 game and since the kits are the same layout, I could help with that.

Also, what does the DB structure look like this year? How different is it from last year?

the db is different, but 11 dbs are convertible.

Man hook it up, me and Reg are working on a huge patch that I will be adding my CONCACAF db to and I can included what you make and create promotion and relegation. I would help you but I have my hands will with 10 leagues and several tournaments and a new region.

hey i was wondering if this patch would work on xbox 360 and if it would replace any other teams

I'm not 100% sure, but I think these patches work only on PC.

 

[NanoDice1]

I feel so dumb now. I installed the patch yesterday and wondered why it wasn't working. but realized i've only downloaded the patch : / I'll try the full patch tonight, but thanks for this guys!

Also, do i have to install revolution mod to play this? what is that for exactly?

Edit : would this still work if i allow champions league qualification in the first season?

If you check out the first page I have an option to download my already edited revolution mod but no its not necessary but whats cool about it is that the correct adboards and balls will show in the correct tournaments they should show in. Using the mod to play champions league the first year should work with no issues.
