An important sharing:

Study and try a way to import files in Fifa 19, by using the default EAInstaller (Touchup Tool)

You can try to Hex compare the 2 folders with related files in order to understand how to do it (or try to dump the exe)
Include files before the official patch and after patch application.



Try to find out how the fb data is saved in files before the patch application.

In the future will be possible to import/generate mod data/files in the form:
cas_XX.cas.eaPatchDiff
cas_XX.cas_DiP_STAGED.eaPatchBFI
cas_XX.cas_DiP_STAGED.eaPatchTemp

and then install/import edited files by running the Touchup Tool,
or if required will be developed a little tool to easy run via gui (or auto run/install).

Usage example:

Touchup.exe install -locale it_IT -installPath "E:\FIFA 19\FIFA 19\" -autologging -startmenuIcon=1 -desktopIcon=1

For more info check out install.log and installerdata.xml
in: \FIFA 19\__Installer\

Share in any place (any best fb coder), because I'm pretty sure who someone will score the goal.

The world Fifa 19 community will be very grateful. Each of you can do something incredible useful.

You can download the pack from here.

I don't know if already tested by the Fb King GalaxyMan,
to avoid spending time just share in his discord channel,
so it will reply almost instantly, if possible or not.



I didn't understand this post.
You're saying you found a way to import files into FIFA 19?

Yes, if you are able share with Master shawminator
will certainly give important information or whether it is possible or not.

I talked to him. He's not interested in FIFA 19. He doesn't like it.
He likes PES now.

I have to say that Its naive to expect EA to listen to anyone who wants to change their games. Historically, EA absolutely do not listen to anyone but themselves. Thats not going to change when they are going going out of theor way to make modding the fifa series harder and harder to mod

Regarding realism. Fidels mods are brilliant and create a realistic game in every way apart from one. There are way too many goals with his mod. I am on legendary level and have to goalies on 90/90 and almost game is a succession of goals. Scores of 6-6, 5-4 etc happen all the time. my goal difference when promoted was 150-115(or therabouts) which is silly
I realise that EA have made it hard to change these goal festivals but the present fidel mods are not realistic. I don't know if its possible to permanently change the way the game processes information. Its been my contention since fifa 18 that the game has a reset algorithm that when modded the game will reset some part of the game in some way to restore the gameplay to how EA dictate it should me. There are many others(modders included) on here whom also share this view.
I tried another ini yesterday and at first the scores were sensible and realistic. Suddenly and without obvious reason, the score count inexplicably started to rise. Fidels mods are exactly the same. They start with sensible scores and suddenly the score count starts to rise
I have hundreds of videos on youtube that accurately illustrate this.
At present it seems impossible for any mod to maintain realism for any length of time before the game resets itself and score counts rise to a level that makes the game realistic.
I don't know if there is a permanent solution. All i can do is report what happens.
Current mods totally transform the game to a level thats not possible in the vanilla game but they dont are can't(due to EA building in some form of protection?) allow the game to be permanently realistic
I always reinstall the my mods before every gaming session.
Modders like Fidel and Paul2k4 have transformed the game for me and without them i would have given up long ago with fifa 19. If only they could make the whole game realistic.

Thanks for your kind words.

The game changes and "adapts" (increases/decreases) difficulty dependant on many different things. So for example;
  • If there are a few draws, it makes it easier to score. All you'd need to do is restart the game to fix it.
  • If you play with 2 or more locked players, the game speed increases (again a difficulty thing causing this).
EA introduced this years ago as part of their "every game is different" ... "feature". This will almost unlikely be taken away, if it is, then they will rename it to another feature with hopeful improvements. PES's tactical AI is much better in this fact.

I suspected this was so. Yesterday the first three game with your mod were brilliant but after that each game became a festival of goals. They were still good games but goal after goal gets silly and boring.
I really wish EA would allow each game to play out, as PES does. Its totally insane to have a feature in the a game that makes it easier to play when its gets too hard. I can't cope with boring one sided matches.
I will have a good session later and just restart the program after every three matches. Its inconvenient but way better than have the game drift into silly scores
I will say though, that your mod was much better at keeping the silly scores(6-6) down to a slightly lower silly score than other .ini mods on this forum
I suppose its a forlorn hope to ask if the "every game is different" ... "feature" can be removed.
If only EA could just leave things alone without resorting to match fixing. Fifa 19 could be almost perfect if they did that
And Sheffield Wednesday will beat Chelsea today in the CUP. Theres more chance of EA stopping interfering in fifa than Wednesday winning

That is strange, how can one like Fifa years on a row and then, suddenly, don't like it anymore?
I guess Shawminator it's just frustrated like all of us by the lack of support from the producers and the continuing efforts from them to stop modding and that is his way to show it.
I tried for a few years to get a liking towards PES but it's just not there, no matter how hard to mod or bad Fifa is, I personally find it well above PES.
And anyway, it exists a feeling that some major breakthrough in Frostbyte modding is imminent and maybe we'll have again a flood of modders.

Hello,
I'm happy because reading I understood that everything is confirmed, and I completely agree with you all, in fact read below:

already shared for the 18, now for the 19:

The best way to bypass gp logic and randomseed especially in career mode (reset to default settings)

How to create an entropic bug in the CPUAI/GP random seed (re)generation,
the game will always play the same as you liked before.
It is like bringing the game back to the same conditions and values to be/or already calculated.

It's like taking a screenshot of the current (great) situation and
then bringing the game back in a theoretical (great) past.

- Download and run WFT click Clean Temp Data to clean FIFA 19 and Origin cache data
- Always run game and load the same base profile settings at any game start *

* This is the settings file inside this folder: \Documents\FIFA 19\settings
As example you start a new career mode, play 3 matches and then quit the game.
You played 1, 2 or 3 amazing matches? If yes, ok this is great.
Now go in \Documents\FIFA 19\settings and make a copy of your settings file, like:
Settings20190103214827 , copy this file on your \desktop\base profile,
this file will be your base profile settings.

The base (AGPE) profile should not go and never went online.

As example I play the AGPE offline career mode, with a profile generated in September,
lately I've updated some cam settings and then I've updated the base profile,
just remember to copy in a folder in order to never overwrite via in-game or career save process.
This is required because the last played modes and results infos are saved in the settings file
(also after you quit the last game mode/match played).

Every day before you run game go in: \Documents\FIFA 19\settings
delete your latest auto saved settings file (it will be updated at every career save progress)
copy and paste the base profile settings, done.

This is required after 1 or 2 career matches, this is good for me because I play only 1 or 2 day matches.
If you play more than 2 or max 3 matches in the same fifa session, probably is required to quit and do each step again.

You can download 2 clean base profile Settings here, just update settings via in-game options,
when you quit from options, it will be saved with your preferred settings,
then make the backup to avoid overwiting in the future.

Now, for me the game is balanced and fully AGPE always and every time/day I run and play the 19 game.

The best is: to try/load directly base profiles I've shared in this post,
update difficulty and then now backup the file, continue/load your career.

Perhaps it can help in some cases, I do not confirm miracles, but are other useful and confirmed information.

@Fidel Gameplay

Just for clarification on the patch installation files you posted, may I ask a few quick questions?

As I understand, you’re proposing that we use EA’s own tool/script to patch the game with fb files containing edited content... right?

How would we go about initializing the tool? I know it would need to be a custom script, but how might we find the commands? It seems like it is triggered by Origin, so maybe pull strings from the exe while Origin updates?

As I understand, you’re proposing that we use EA’s own tool/script to patch the game with fb files containing edited content... right? YES, we try out.......

How would we go about initializing the tool? I know it would need to be a custom script, but how might we find the commands? It seems like it is triggered by Origin, so maybe pull strings from the exe while Origin updates?

For more info check out the install.log and installerdata.xml
inside this folder: \FIFA 19\__Installer\

xml code and available commands (from installerdata.xml):
<touchup>
<filePath>/__Installer/touchup.exe</filePath>
<parameters>install -locale {locale} -installPath "{installLocation}" -autologging</parameters>
<updateParameters>install -update -locale {locale} -installPath "{installLocation}" -autologging</updateParameters>
<repairParameters>install -repair -locale {locale} -installPath "{installLocation}" -autologging</repairParameters>
</touchup>

usage example, converted to command line (cmd) string (from install.log):
Via cmd go inside: \FIFA 19\__Installer\
run this (edit with your game info):

Touchup.exe install -locale it_IT -installPath "E:\FIFA 19\FIFA 19\" -autologging -startmenuIcon=1 -desktopIcon=1

we'll talk later.

Bye bro

EDIT (correct code to install an update):

Touchup.exe install -update -locale it_IT -installPath "D:\FIFA 19\FIFA 19\" -autologging -startmenuIcon=1 -desktopIcon=1

I understand Shawminator, however, in recent years many historical characters of the modding have left, a bit because Fifa has become difficult to edit and a little because the mechanics of the gameplay are always the same ..
Every year my friends and I edit the gp and db of fifa to make it more "realistic", inspired by Fidel's intuitions (Dio ti benedica), this year has improved a lot but after a while the feeling of already seen due to the EA scripts that makes you abandon the game ...
I hope with all my heart that Fidel reaches his goal, even if I do not share some of his choices and attitudes sometimes, I consider him a good person who for everything he did, does and will do for the community, deserves a prize from EA..
If you could make a little noise on the official forum, who knows ... B)

I already started to make noise on EA's forum but it should be more of us there or, even better, all of us from here who should make some distinct noise on EA's forum.
I see there mostly naive kids who open up stupid threads about some minor problem that bothers them without giving palpable info or helping in any way, just crying out loud!
If I would representing EA there, for sure I would just ignore these threads that in any way won't help me understand what is wrong, ergo, the lack of career mode progress.
Now there are only a handful of talks that really do say anything and Fidel just opened up one there, giving specific info about the game but the stupid kids are invading already there trying to turn it into another scroll over thread by the EA.
So, everybody here who has anything real to share or suggestions supported by real conclusions, should go to EA's forums, into Fidel's thread and make their voices heard or open up separate thread with hard facts and then, maybe, we'll have hope for some change in the future.

So Galaxy Man said he's doing great progress on EA's new game Anthem. And he said Anthem's file structure are almost identical to FIFA, so it will work for both games.

We might have something sooner than we thought.

This is brilliant stuff. I usually play around 6 matches in a session. So should I restart the game after 3 matches or just play through all six? The guide suggests its best to restart the game after 3 matches. Is there any way to turn off the games internal ai that makes the gameplay adjust(get easier)
Why do you think that Ea have this peculiar ai system wherby the game gets progressively easier the more we play? yesterday I had three brilliantly tight matches and the next game i won 1-5 away from home in a totally one sided affair. I am perplexed as to the logic behind this and the reason.
Thanks

You can try to adjust as your gp style the [ADAPTIVE_DIFFICULTY] settings stored inside inifs_Win32,
just use the editor pack already shared in order to easy edit the product.ini
Anyway actually I have not edited these parameters in my game.

The best for many fifa users is to dynamically adjust user and cpu gp sliders during the match
in order to re-balance/setup (in the right way, it depends on the situation) the gameplay randomseed, in some cases.

@Fidel Gameplay your gameplay mod is awesome but i have one issue. If i play champiosn league or europe league, the time i play is always 18:30 !!!
Do you know how I can change this?
Thanks in advance

This will be possible when Frosty or any FB mod tool will be out.
Time settings are forced in the 19 and files are stored in dlc/cm folder.
I don't know if actually you can change/edit with CE. I'm sorry.

Thank you for great words. You are a true FIFA 19 AGPE Player.
