I DID IT-I DID IT-I DID IT-I DID IT-I DID IT!!!!!!!!
IT WORKS!!!
AND THE GRAPHICS REMAIN!!!
Basically, I did what Shevagol said to do but I was able to keep my graphics by altering the method just a little bit. Follow the steps (this is what I did):
1) customize current database using CC.
2) make a folder on your desktop named "FIFA data" (or something youll recognize).
3) to make things easier, create two files inside of the "FIFA data" file and name one "CUSTOM" and the other "DEFAULT".
4) Now copy the customized data folder (the whole thing) from FIFA 2005 into the "CUSTOM" folder. Then copy the "FIFA 2005" folder in your "my documents" folder to the same folder.
5) Now uninstall and do a clean install of the game
6) Play one game (to establish a settings file).
7) (Now it gets tricky, read VERY carefully) Copy all of the files in your customized data folder into the clean data folder EXCEPT for the folders. DO NOT mess with the folders (i.e. "audio", "cmn", "gui", "EASO", "memcard", "system").
8) To play the game w/ the custom rosters, put the clean data foler and the new "FIFA 2005" folder (in "my documents") into the "DEFAULT" folder and swap them for the files in the "CUSTOM" folder.
To play w/ the default roster for online play, just do the reverse of step 8.
NOTE: be careful not to copy over one database for the other unless it is backed up in the "FIFA files" folder
Thats it. Now you can play online and use CC at your lesiure (so long as you don't use it while the default roster is in use) and ALL of your graphical alterations will be presurved in both databases.
Give it a shot!
