Well... since I don't know how to open a squad file
Okay, I was in fact able to copy data from the squad save file, and paste and save it into my db.
Squad files can be opened using IM 12. I opened a squad save and exported the players table to my desktop. The table wouldn't import into the db without getting an error message. And I couldn't open the table with Excel (says "locked for editing"). But I could open it with Notepad. Using Notepad, I then:
- Opened the players table from the db, and deleted the data inside that file.
- Opened the players table from the squad save, copied the data inside, then pasted the data into the blank players table from the db.
- Saved, then imported this edited players table back into the db. I was also able to now open this edited players table with Excel.
The table imported back into the db and saved with no issues. And I was able to start FIFA 13 and play a game.
If this much worked, it seems to me you could try following this same procedure using any squad save update. You would have to copy the players table info and teamplayerlinks table info from the squads save update file, and paste it into the corresponding db table files. I would try it myself but I don't have any squad updates to test.
