Here's a few screenshots I took, they're all in 4k so I couldn't upload them here,

My mod has never looked that good.
Btw. on one of the screenshot Mutu is without bump, so better use bump or bumpless version of him (like mine)

have you added third kits for the most important teams like Barcelona,Real Madrid,Liverpool?

premier league, seria a and la liga are fully done, bolton and blackburn kits were already made by skoczek, chelsea and liverpool I found on this site, arsenal 3rd, bayern and barcelona online
also made kits for england, ukraine, monchengladbach, juventus, psg, southend, celtic and aberdeen
some teams have plenty of alternate kits, such as man utd black shorts and socks with the home one, or lazio all blue, milan alternate with black shorts instead of white and so on, the problem is that I can't do that no more without the game crashing when picking a team, I tried to regenerate and everything but it still doesn't work
I'm gonna post everything I've done in terms of db tomorrow

 

[Skoczek]

Maybe I'll just mention that db I published probably had plenty of bugs that I didn't even discover.

 

[Ross McCormack]

So here's what I've done so far, wall of text incoming.
>added the period appropiate name and logo to all competitions (coca-cola championship, bwinliga, orange ekstraklasa etc)
>added the period appropiate badges and names to all teams (name changes mostly in the austrian league, wacker innsbruck was wacker tirol,sturm graz was puntigamer sturm graz, pasching was fc superfund etc)
>changed the objectives for every single team in the game, which in turn got tournament mode working (it crashed because there were 2nd tier teams like juventus with the objective to win the league title or premier league teams with the objective to gain promotion)
>changed the generic adboard
>adjusted the attributes of every single premier league player as well as a few other teams, here's how it works:

The fifa 07 engine works differently than the 14 one, with it having less attributes and some of them working differently. For instance, player potential is used for regens in 07, so you could have 34 year old 65 rated players with 85 potential, since that's what EA considered they were worth in their prime and what the game uses for regens, every regen in 07 is a copy of an existing player. Obviously I've changed it so that old player's potential is the same as their overall. Also, 07 had 20 year old 65 rated players with a potential of also 65, which also doesn't make sense so I changed that too.

Besides that, there's attributes like balance and agility, which are inversely proportional to a player's height for the most part. With the conversion of the db from 07 there are 195 cm tall players with 90 balance, which makes them too hard to knock off the ball, affecting the gameplay negatively. there are also short players with very poor balance and agility, making them useless in a duel. For the players that are also in fifa 12, I took those two attributes from there, for the others I just used a reasonable number based on their height and weight.
Crossing also is a bit different in 07, there are plenty of central midfielders with high crossing, which is uncommon in the modern titles, same thing with vision. There are so many defenders with ball control and vision rated at around 65 but with dribbling at 35, again, something that's different in the modern fifas.

Also, the top players are too quick and strong,while the lower ones are also worse physically, which most certainly ain't the case now. EA didn't really pay all that much attention to the lesser known players, people in this thread asked for the romanian league so I decided to take a look at the romanian national team, EA clearly didn't care about it too much, many players had the wrong position (munteanu being lm when every source I found says he was mostly a centre mid,ghionea a 56 rated cb with only 52 strength despite being 1,87cm 82kg etc). I also found random ~70 rated players that have some ridiculous attribute like 92 crossing for no good reason, don't know what EA was thinking back in those days.

The player overalls themselves are based on the 05/06 season, obviously there were no weekly updates then so I decided to change many of them based on how the teams performed in the 06/07 season.
Here you can see Stuttgart's team, which won the league that season, for instance Cacau and Gomez went from 73,70 to 80, while Tomasson from 83 to 80 since he barely played.

Here is Parma, specifically Luca Cigarini, who had his breakthrough season in 06/07 and was seen as one of Italy's top prospects, so I changed him from EA's 47 ovr/ 61 pot to 65/87

Final example is Man Utd, Rooney was 93/93 and had some ridiculous attributes such as 90 strength, which no player of his size can have in the modern games. Since he was just 20 I lowered his ovr to 87, while keeping the 93 potential. Vidic also went from 79 to 84

Despite many players' overalls being the same I still went and changed some physicalls as well as adjusting the potential, I'm hoping one day we can get career mode working so this would make it more realistic.
I know most of you probably don't care about any of this, but I thought I'd share anyway

What else I'm planning to do:
>more kits
>more of this attribute adjustement
>some club specific adboards

What I cannot do at all and I need help on :
>adjusting the dlc file to get career mode working
>making faces
>making those fancy revolution mod overlays, so that teams can have different patches on their sleeves depending on the competition

Thanks for reading all this nonsense.

I'm using whichever version came with the mod, didn't change anything.

Maybe I'll just mention that db I published probably had plenty of bugs that I didn't even discover.

It's still a great db, I remember reading the old thread and downloading it thinking it was just gonna be the top 5 leagues converted, with the rest still being the fifa 14 teams, so I was pleasantly surprised it was everything. In terms of players, the only anomalies I noticed is outfield players being give the gk long thrower trait, and the attributes that were not in fifa 07 being too high or too low.

Here's a few more screenshots, do you know how can I remove the moddded menu theme and go back to the original fifa 14 one?

For the menu theme delete the following folder: \Game\data\ui, but back-up that folder before if you want somehow to reverse back to it!!!

@Ross McCormack any update?

@Ross McCormack any update?

started making kits again, currently doing the scottish premier league, once I'm done with the bundesliga and ligue 1 I'm gonna upload the 'beta' of the mod. I'm too stupid to get career mode working but the tournaments are functional at least, hopefully an experienced modder steps in and helps with it, would also be nice to have all the teams that competed in europe that season, which I can and probably will create.

 

[Thiego-BR]

Congratulations friend for the continuation of this great project I love the teams of that time

 

[Thiego-BR]

Hey is it if you couldn't use some kits from the FIFA 07 PS3 version?

 

[Thiego-BR]

The only problem is that the kit is not 100% the same as FIFA14

I think fifa 07 was only on xbox 360

 

[Thiego-BR]

I think fifa 07 was only on xbox 360

there friend I'm sorry, that's right!

 

[Thiego-BR]

I sent a message to Ross McCormack that I have a project similar to this one but it's season 07/08

 

[Thiego-BR]

maybe we can help each other, the only difference is that I'm making it for FIFA 16, I like FIFA 14 a lot too

@Ross McCormack which leagues and teams are made full so far(with kits)?
