Playbook Mods

So I understand modding Frostbite is pretty difficult, but how hard would it be to get a Windows-based playbook editor going that can put out a file to be injected into the game? It'd be a lot easier to work with than the Madden editor and would potentially give you access to formations and plays not found in the playbook builder, like the weird offset Ace formation in the Legends playbook.

I'd love to get that formation and others from the generic books into a custom book, or even in CFM somehow. Would this be possible at some point?

Re: Playbook Mods

I am absolutely going to try. This is my number one mod anticipation. I am hoping the old Madden 08 Playbook editor can be a starting point. Until we get more info though not sure what is possible. Might take a year or two but I would love to see a playbook editor.

Just from scoping through the files, I can't see any defined "playbook" files except for the custom ones you make. It looks like we might be waiting for an editor of sorts, but I'm not sure if people will really be focused on a playbook editor as much as they will other mods.

Slight bump. Did some searching and couldn't find anything; wondering if anybody knows if this is coming to fruition yet?

Check out football idiots forum; someone found the playbook “code.” It was easier to access than anticipated but there is no way to implement changes into the game as of yet. Long story short, initial progress seems to be promising but its still a long way from the development of a program

Re: Playbook Mods

The playbook files just appear to be .xml files.
If you have some programming knowledge you would just make a front end for it and then parse the xml and re-write the .xml file, you should then be able to import it back in via Frosty, that would be my best guess anyway.

Doesn’t seem to be anymore posts in the thread on the football idiots forum. Hopefully we can gain access at some point.
