FIFA 13 Best Process/Advice??

[bigmorty]

I was very involved in Fifa 11 - editing with DBM and later CM, designing dozens of kits, creating leagues, teams and players. I could pretty much mod any part of the game. But when Fifa 12 came out, I was exhausted, so I stuck with Fifa 11.

I decided to skip 12, and wait until 13 was more or less completely unlocked (now?). But now I'm ready - I think - to tackle 13. But here is my question:

If you bought Fifa 13 brand new today, what would you use to edit it?

What updates would you run?
What patches would you install?
What editing software would you use to create teams, leagues, players, kits?

If there is a thread that already offers this overall advice, please link it. I have not found it.

Thank you!!

/\ /\ /\ Indeed.

I realize this may seem like a newbie question (and in some ways, it is) - but hear me out!

In the Fifa 13 forums on this site alone there are over 86,000 posts in over 1,600 threads. I started downloading tools and utilities that seemed like they might be useful, and I have 28 already (and that's after just 1 hour).

So it's not a dumb question:
If you were starting over on Fifa 13 right now, what would you use?

You can save me hours of stumbling through 86,000 posts and dozens of programs.

Or you can give me another

I use the moddingway mod and just recently downloaded CM 13 to try and import kits. I'm a complete newb to the FIFA modding world but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

Can we also get you a sandwich and fluff up your sofa cushion while you wait for us to compile that info for you?

Away you go.

in reality you just need the same tools you used for 11 but only with the 13 extension to them.

they work they exact same way and almost do the exact same thing.

What updates would you run?
the latest official patches would be prefferable to use
What patches would you install?
if you don't wish to have a certain league that there isn't in the game, then I would recommend the MW addon!
What editing software would you use to create teams, leagues, players, kits?
Creation Master 13 and DB Master 12 for creating and editing leagues/teams/players in the game's database, as for the kits, there are many patches from where you can choose the best quality it suits you, copy them, assign them and enjoy the game. If you want to create your own kits, then you must read the tutorials on SG!

You have my responsese written with red!

By the end of its run, I was pretty much using nothing but Photoshop and CM 11 to alter, create and update everything I wanted. There was no need to use any other tool. Is that really the same here? Can CM 13 be used to create and update leagues, teams, players, kits, etc.? If so, why use anything else?

Thanks!

Thank you. Can I bug you for just a little clarification, though? What do you edit with each of those tools? What do you use to create or edit leagues, teams, players? Something different for changing kits?

That definitely narrows my list of programs, though - thanks!

For sure!

When you share your designs, kits and patches with us, you're doing us a great service by sharing your talent, right? In this case, you're doing a service by sharing your knowledge. And I really appreciate it.

What patches would you install?
if you don't wish to have a certain league that there isn't in the game, then I would recommend the MW addon!

Does this mean that the MW addon makes it impossible (or harder) to use the other updates, addons, etc.?

I guess that leads to a couple more quick questions:

1) Will any of these mods or updates make it impossible to use others (Modding Way, for instance)? Back in the '11 version, there was a cool Libertadores mod, but it pretty much made other editing impossible.

2) Are most of the updates and league/team/player additions stackable? Can I add 15 different updates from different creators?

3) If I'm looking for the same super-comprehensive world football experience that I had with 2011 (representing as many different leagues, teams and players as possible), what would you recommend?

Thanks again! Browsing the 80,000 messages has been useful, but I really appreciate your answers.

I just ran across a couple new bits of information, but unfortunately, it was never very clear. I'm sure the information must be out there, but in the several searches I've tried, I'm mostly just finding people (like me) seeking this info and the semi-literate insults that they get in reply. If someone can clear this up for me - great! Otherwise, just hit me with more semi-literate 13-year-old insults. Seems like that's the direction many of these forums have gone in the two years I've been away. Anyway...

Apparently, there is a limit to the number of leagues and/or the number of teams you can use in Fifa 13. What are the hard numbers of these limits? Are there workarounds?

Yes that happens around here unfortunately. That said, what more do you want? You have the list of tools and you apparently know how to use them. So get busy and do some editing and testing. Then come back here and tell us how many teams/leagues can be added. There's a "How To" sticky in the PC Editings forum that regularcat started, post your findings and discoveries there.

If you're stuck and have a specific editing problem you can't figure out, just ask. The only advice I can think of is to be aware CM 13 is a patched version of rinaldo's CM 12 tool, so it doesn't function 100% correctly. But again, instead of me writing several paragraphs listing every issue, just start working with it. You'll see for yourself soon enough.

The number of leagues limit is the original number of leagues that FIFA has. If you try to create a new league, the game will crash! You can have teams in the ROW section and national teams in their section, but nothing more than that. FIFA is very restrictive when it comes to expanding the database the way we want, realistically speaking.
