FIFA 14 Overlays Research & Documentation

As FIFA 14 has barely any documentation about scoreboards and overlays, I will be researching the topic and sharing my knowledge here. Please note that I might be wrong in some of the information presented here, so any form of help, contribution, or clarification is appreciated.

Overlay Slots

First up, the files themselves and how their slots work. FIFA 14 primarily has 8 slots for broadcasting packages, just like its predecessor. Older games like FIFA 11 and 12 use 6 slots.

Here are the slots in FIFA 14:
  • overlay_2XXX.big - England, World Cup, Copa America
  • overlay_3XXX.big - France, Russia
  • overlay_4XXX.big - Austria, Denmark, Germany
  • overlay_5XXX.big - Australia, Italy, International matches
  • overlay_6XXX.big - Belgium, Spain
  • overlay_7XXX.big - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, USA
  • overlay_8XXX.big - ESPN
  • overlay_15XXX.big - World Cup 2014 (Only used in Ultimate Team)
You might think these packages are used based on their leagues, but they aren't. Apparently, they are even triggered in international matches. For example, if you start a match between Germany and Spain, the match will use the 4XXX slot. Additionally, the 7XXX slot has different color tints, which is pretty cool. If you start a match with any Argentine club or the Argentine national team, the overlays will be blue. However, using Brazil will show yellow elements. While it is cool to have multiple variations of the same overlay, no modder has found a way to utilize this tint mechanic with modded overlays.

Overlay Files

After the region codes, the rest of the three digits dictate the type of texture the file will contain. Here is a brief list:

  • overlay_X002.big - Scoreboard
  • overlay_X003.big - Penalty Shoot-out Scoreboard
  • overlay_X012.big - Goalscorer Popup
  • overlay_X013.big - Yellow/Red Card Popup
  • overlay_X015.big - Popup after a goal/half-time/full-time
  • overlay_X018.big - Lineup & Formation Popup
  • overlay_X020.big - Referee Info Popup
  • overlay_X021.big - Substitution Popup
  • overlay_X042.big - Match Intro Popup
  • overlay_X044.big - Commentators Info Popup
  • overlay_X045.big - Point Table Popup (During Tournament/Career Mode)
  • overlay_X072.big - Popup During Play (Yellow/Red card)
  • overlay_X073.big - Popup During Play (Substitution)
  • overlay_X074.big - Popup During Play (General)
  • overlay_X094.big - Miniface Background of Injury Card Popup
There are other files, but they appear to be too unimportant for the research. If they change or something new is discovered, I will update this post.

Internal Names
Every single overlay file has an internal name, which can be found between the 0000-0200 offset. This internal name will be the same as the file name, but the property offset address will differ in each file. Here are the internal files of various scoreboard texture files:









So, why am I discussing all this? Because mods are made from various files and are later renamed to suit the desired slot. For example, a mod might have a file named "overlay_2012," but its internal name could be "6012." The majority of scoreboard mods use "overlay_8002" as their base texture file, as it is the only scoreboard in the entire game that represents club colors. Alternatively, scoreboard mods that use club crests use "overlay_15002" for their base texture as the crest mechanic was implemented for the first time when World Cup 2014 update came out.

Byte Ordering & Variable System
FIFA 14 stores color and number values in a .big file differently from most games. This brings us to the topic of byte ordering. FIFA 14 stores its data mostly in "Little Endian" format. To explain the term, the game stores data in reverse order. For example, let's pretend the data on hand is "12 34 56 78". Here each set of two numbers is called a "byte" which is why I put spaces between each byte. The regular way a computer stores bytes is exactly how you would expect, which is called "Big Endian." However, in Little Endian, it is stored as "78 56 34 12." See how the bytes are flipped here? That's exactly how FIFA 14 stores its data.

Now, on the topic of the variable system, FIFA 14 mostly stores its float numbers in the hexadecimal system and in Little Endian format. So, if your float value data is 25, converting it to hexadecimal gives us "41 C8 00 00." To suit the Little Endian format, it will be written as "00 00 C8 41". To learn more about converting float values to hex, check out the following website: https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/floattohex/

Similarly, FIFA 14 stores color data in hexadecimal as well, in Little Endian format, of course. So, if your color data is "33 44 55," it will be written in the file as "55 44 33 FF." Here, the "FF" suffix is part of the game function, so it's best to leave it as is.

That's it for now. If you are looking for the offset addresses for various data, I will be posting them here data .
