Professional Editing in FIFA

[daniel.ok]

I start this thread because for more than few months I have an idea about editing FIFA. So, here it is:

In this community there are some great editers of the game but .. their results are far from being equal with original files of FIFA (egg: faces, stadiums, sounds, etc). Of course we have some very good stuff (egg: boots, balls, kits, flags, etc) so here is my proposal:
- We can collect some money, create a fund and hire a professional person to make the hard stuff (decoding stadium files, codecs of chants, develop some decent tools for editing faces, stadiums, etc)

Please don't blame me .. this is only an idea. Anyway if we gonna do this we'll make a solid project (collecting money, hire the right person, etc)

please share your opinion!

Good idea, but I don't waste my money
The problem is that making tools is a little bit boring sometimes...

it's about 3-5 dollars each ... hope we can earn 1500-2000 dollars :P with that money I think we can do something

money = trouble, think about this

Why not use the raised money to bribe someone who worked on the game to share it's secrets?

Seriously, once money becomes involved, everything will change. Copyright and licensing issues will arise when affected items are sold. This may lead to legal action and the community being shut down. At the minute, I believe that our editing is tolerated since no money is involved. If this changes, expect EA to encrypt the game files.

I don't think EA will take such as a decision ... once you had bought the game you can do everything you want with it except reseal it without EA's permission. We pay only for some tools, because people on this community don't have the skills to do some real important mods (tools) ... when I look at PES editing tools I see a enormous difference (what you can really do w/ those tools)
it is such a shame because FIFA si far better that PES

Man, PES has great tools because the structure of the game itself is always the same through years.
Instead we had to deal with a whole new Fifa this year, that's why we are still behind with tools. I don't really think there is someone more talented than Rinaldo in all the football games editing world, so just let's wait and let's hope that FIFA 12 will have the same file encryption, so that we can work with the FIFA 11 experience advantage and make new important tools!!!

Ditto, I just cannot understand how comparisons are made between PES tools (the game which follows similar file structure throughout the years and thus having more stable tool) and Fifa 11 tools. Fifa 10 tools were far better than any PES tool (Fifa 10 having the advantage of having 3-4 iterations behind it having same file composition). PES never managed great things in stadia which Fifa 10 could. PES does not have great gameplay modification (Yes I know yair's gameplay, it comes nowhere near Fifa 11 modder's patches). Did they ever release any tool like SM10 or AM10? Could they ever break that 300 odd team limit? Could they ever do WITHOUT USING buggy "switches"? No point in comparing Fifa and PES tools, Fifa modders are more passionate about their game than PES modders are. But I am sure situation will change because of the members here.

There are at least 3-4 people in the fifa editing who are working as professional programmers and they are doing good work as you could see in the last few years.
