The Return of College Soccer to FIFA 16?
So I am making this thread to see if it is possible to return college soccer to the world of FIFA 16 modding. The original project was my very first mod here and I actually felt it was quite popular. Now with the return of college football and basketball by EA, I thought this could possibly open up an avenue for me to pursue this mod. Now let's address some questions:1) How many teams will be included?
A: Best case scenario: this mod will include all D1, D2, and D3 teams for men's and women's. Worst case: only D1. This gives me a range of between 563 to 1,700+ teams. With the best case scenario, there will be 3 separate databases similar to the FIFA Infinity Patch.
2) Will this include real player names and likenesses?
A: I am still debating this. While I want this mod to feel authentic and I want to represent the players, I also would like to avoid legal trouble with a certain organization. I am willing to put in the work to bring all of these players into the mod, but at first I may have to start with generic player names.
3) Will this mod be compatible with FIP 16?
A: Sadly, no. Due to the number of teams present in the mod, it will not be 100% compatible with FIP16. Now is it possible to add a team from this mod to FIP? Yes. But adding the entire mod to FIP and trying to do a career mode, not possible. But good news, this mod is being built around FIP's framework.
4) Will this be compatible with the US Project?
I am doing my best to work out a way to have IDs mesh between my two projects. It will be tough because of the sheer volume of teams means I am pushing both databases to their limits.
5) High Schools?
According to National Center of Education Statistics, there are approximately 26,727 High Schools in the US. I am one man and that's a lot of schools. Now, is the top 25 from each state possible? Absolutely.
Now here are some images from the last mod, so you can see what you can expect
As always, I am always open to help. Please let me know if you want to contribute to the mod in anyway.
