Creation Master 16

[mrliioadin]

New guy here... Just wondering if Creation Master 16 can allow me to edit an existing pro career database? If so how?
Also is it just me or are some of the Free Kick Styles and Penalty Styles options are missing? (Wide Stance / Hands Down)

CM won't allow you to do this. EA encrypts those files and I don't think there are any programs which have broken this yet. I'm not sure any will either.

Some previous posts have been suggesting that the Unhandled Expection errors could be fixed by download directx sdk. It seems like this is working for some people and if that's the case, great. Keep doing that. It wasn't working for me.

However, I thought this sdk was depreciated. There might be another solution.

Windows 8.1 SDK might be a better solution for more people. I'm still testing and could be way off base. Working so far for me. I'll update this and post again if/when I know more.

Anyone know what OS Rinaldo developed on?

Update: That's not working either. Uhg.

I still have "The output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters, encoding 'Unicode (UTF-8)' fallback 'System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback'." error which has led to corruption of the database at least once already.

Can you share the exact error you're getting? I'm in the same boat on one of my computers. The other is working alright.

Try to run an sfc /scannow.

Which kit are you adding it to? Are you overwriting the existing home/away?

Also, are you sure you're hitting the save button under the kit preview?

 

[mrliioadin]

Try to run an sfc /scannow.

That may have possibly maybe kinda worked. I'll keep testing. No bug yet though.

OK, glad it might have possibly did.

Help?

I wonder if it is related to my Fifa files... + I don't get this error message when using CM 16 Beta 2. I can't use that anymore 'cause the attacker ratings get absolutely screwed up :/

Can you please translate that error? Otherwise I have no idea what it says or why you might be getting it.

DirectX SDK and/or .NET Framework may need to be downloaded/updated/installed or something. But, I'm guessing.

Sure.

Also, I'm currently on Windows 10, .NET Framework gets downloaded and updated automatically, maybe it downloads a "not-so-good" version of it?

How do I import 2048x2048 textures to overwrite 1024x1024 textures??

Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but not sure what.

I've been importing various national teams from a giant CMP; it was working absolutely fine until I got to around team 150. Now, each time I add a team, although it looks fine in CM16, in-game one or more players for that team will have no name (not just their shirt is blank, but their actual name is missing - replaced in line-ups, team sheets etc. by an empty space). The game actually plays fine, but it's very, very weird.

Oddly it's always the same players for each team - it's like the game can't see their ID data any more, just a shirt number and skill ratings.

I've tried re-importing the problem players, editing the problem players, changing formations... nothing has made any difference.

I doubt it's the CMP as I was importing the teams in random order, and this only started with teams I imported after a certain point (all the ones I've done previously are fine).

Does this ring any bells with anyone, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

[Mr Love Pants]

OK, this is really strange.

If I edit one of the problem players and change their surname to something else, save and exit CM16, it works.

If I then go back - in a new CM16 session - and edit them again to put their original surname back, save and exit CM16, the problem returns.

This happens even when I create a brand new player with a new player ID and use the original name. My test example is Bell-Baggie of Sierra Leone - if I change him to be called "Bell-Baggi", he works fine. If I change him back, or create a new player called "Bell-Baggie" and put him in the Sierra Leone team instead of his namesake, his name disappears in-game (and I've noticed his rating disappears from the minikit bit of the team selection screen too).

What's happening...? What have I done?

Backup saves first, then delete your squads 1 file in game. Then restart the game...Name change should appear.

 

[ArSeNaL4LlFE]

If anyone could tell me how to change a teams formation using CM 16..Id appreciate it.

 

[Gathe3]

Is there a way to lock editing on CM 16? Because there's a patch out there I'm interested in downloading whose makers claim that editing is blocked. Also, is there a way to unlock it?

 

[Mr Love Pants]

Backup saves first, then delete your squads 1 file in game. Then restart the game...Name change should appear.

Thanks for the tip, but choosing "delete" at the initial prompt ("squads1 appears to be damaged...") doesn't seem to do anything. I can't actually find a physical squads1 file anywhere on my HD to delete it manually (or to back up my Personal Settings file)... is there somewhere else, in Windows or in-game, I should be looking?

Appreciate the help.
