Editing All-Pro Football 2K8 for Dummies

[badasp83]

Most created players will be round 0829f0. I've found some right before or after. Strange thing is whether I make 11 or 20 players. There's always one that I can never find. I just make that one a silver/gold and give them the abilities I want. Then go back into HEX & edit the others.

1. Next to the file in the upper corner there is the word edit, next to that it should say search

2. When u click on search it should say find ctrl+F

3. In the seach window that will pop it says type: make sure it says hex bytes (h)

4. Under that it should say Value: thats were you will type "05" and click find all

But when you do this make sure you are next to your first created player. And then keep scroll through

5. you scroll through them with F3

Hope that will help

It doesn't freeze the game. I made some CB/WRs. They were good as CBs but couldn't run routes worth anything. They had no acceleration as WRs and couldn't catch very well either. I assumed it would either give a little of every skill to the player, but apparently not enough to even make a Gold CB play like a generic WR. This was All Pro difficulty.

Also I am pretty sure this is right. We were discussing it in the Gaint [sic] Vick thread and this is what I discovered quickly.


Also I quickly noted:

Gold QB

Base Speed - 32 (50)
Speed Burner - 37 (55)

Base Agility - 3c (60)
Quick Feet - 41 (65)

Base Strength - 28 (40)
Strength Bonus - 2d (45)

Base Jumping - 28 (40)
Hops - 5f (90)

Gold HB

Base Speed - 57 (87)
Base Agility - 57 (85)

My point of departure was that they probably set up many of the attributes in a similar fashion to 2K5. There is even a similar number of them. My guess is that the 5a 5a is pass strength and accuracy for the QB but I will have to do a little testing to confirm this. I tried taking speeds to the max (7f) but did not see any real noticeable difference in the sim. I am not sure why. Maybe they have a cap on them or maybe I was doing something wrong. I never got any freezes, but nothing like the super tecmo bowl experience I was hoping for lol.

great find

Rocky found a lot of the ratings over a month ago, but if you could fill in some of the missing ones that would be awesome.

Here is the link to that thread:

It should be pretty easy, though I am not sure how much time I will have to do it. Make a Gold QB with no abilities, then with speed only, then with agility only, then with strength only, then with stamina only, etc. and see which attributes change and use the HEX converter to get you to the decimal numbers. I may work on the QB tonight. It would be nice to see numerically where a Gold, Silver, Bronze QB start in terms of base attributes and what adding abilities does. For most so far, the answer is not much. Most physical bonuses adds only 5 of the attribute in question, which is not much at all. Hops adds 50 jumping, but who knows what impact that has in the sim. Even 50 more might not do that much. If Speed Burner is a flat +5 bonus all the time, it means that a gold HB with Speed Burner is only about 5.7% faster than one with no attribute at all. That is actually pretty minor, and lends credence to what I have thought for a while now, that many attributes are overrated.
