[andy88]

In fifa08 the balls look very dissapointing.In fifa07 the balls were more realistic.is there any way to change the fifa08 balls and make it realistic???
Is there any ball patch available??

This is a great forum and thanks to all the people here whose work helps to make the game so much better.

I've been trying to replace the unshaded stock ball in FIFA08, but I've had no luck. None of the editors I use from FIFA 07 work for me (probably operator error). So can someone please upload the files needed to replace that ball so I and anyone else can just paste the new files into our game installation? Thanks.

They look disgasting! How coould EA make such a mistake. They must be blind... I am sure there will be a patch or wait for CM08 and you can add balls.

Thanks, Simon. I don't know how those balls could've got past the testers. I think you can use Monkey Dragon's FIFAFS 5.1 to change the ball, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Is there a way to change that horrible shiny look that most of the fifa 08 balls have; is there no file to control the brightness of the balls.

I have new idea. Editing the TSL Ball. O-Edit graphics with Photoshop rebuilded texture.

New ball texture's :



New O-Edit file's :

why not just duplicate both the near and far ball model?

 

[davidmende]

But using near models instead of a far one make the game crashes, well thats some people is these forums have tested.

 

[elhelmiey]

i meant that we should duplicate both far and near ball model into a new zdata_xx.big e.g m222_x.o and m316_x.o (x with id for those balls that come without shade)

x= 30,31,60,61 etc
