Mods to use w/ default 08 rosters

[Coachwf]

Haven't played the PC version in 10+ years. Madden 08 still looks great, but would love to use any mods to improve it, but I still want to use the default 08 rosters. If I install the FF/FI mod will that eliminate that option? Thanks.

You can save a copy of the default roster, then install the mods and load that copy to use the default roster.

Thank you. Was afraid new portraits, etc. might not play well with the default rosters. Guessing maybe those are included w/ the roster file though.

EDIT..installed the latest FF/FI Mod, 4.1 i believe. Looks like everything updated, but it still shows the original rosters, but messed up the portraits like I feared. Anyone know if I can use the original roster with orig portraits, but with the FF/FI Mod?

I tried what you did except removed the UIS_LIB_COACH_PORT and UIS_LIB_PLAYER_PORT files and the majority of the original ones were there and cartoon ones for some rookies and others.

That worked, thanks! Noticed the salary cap is way high too so all teams have like 100M in cap space. Any idea how to edit that?

Found this..just don't know what each field represents yet.

I think the DB_TEMPLATES.dat-origOVR file may change the salary information back to the original.

Switched back to that file, but didn't notice salary differences.

I guess I could use the originally installed DB_Templates.dat, but not sure what else that will change.
