FF/FI XIV Mod Version 2 Release - Update 5-23

[Gridiron]

Hey guys, new here.

I downloaded it and followed the instructions, but my game looks nothing like the one in the video.

Mine just looks like Madden 08 with smoother uniforms and a new home screen.

Did I do something wrong?

It should look exactly like MADDEN '08 with updated uniforms, a new home screen,
some new on field graphics, along with the all important newly updated rosters.

Perhaps you are playing with a graphics card inferior to the one used in the video?

My graphics will continue to look poor until I can get a better power supply
so I can stop using this crappy Intel 8294SG Express motherboard graphics video output.
I really miss the display on my RADEON, this thing stinks.
I'm thinking that you may need to buy a better graphics card.

In the event that Electronic Arts made a mistake in the setup,
(from the main menu) try changing your graphics display settings for increased detail.

when I play the franchise mode, it has problem on second season. There are no free agent player on the roster. but i found fa player in the nza's madden editer. but I cannot see them in the game. so any team has broken roster such as one team didn't have punter. so i cannot simmulate any procedure or play the game on second season.

If the game is running smoothly (20+ FPS with no rapid drops) at the monitors (or tv) native resolution with the graphic settings set to the highest in settings, if that is the case then purchasing a new video card is going to do absolutely nothing for Madden 08. New games yes of course, but odds are just about any computer out there is going to run Madden 08 with no problems. I have a 1mb cache single core garbage processor along with integrated Radeon 4200 and it plays madden just fine. Odds are, he thought the graphics were going to be better than they are when playing the game because the graphics do seem to be better in saved madden replays. I had the same curiosity as well when I started Madden 08.

Thanks for making FF/FI XIV mod. I love this mode. So I can enjoy madden 08
Actually I usually play Franchise mode. But I have the same problem. When I played the franchise mode, there are no free agent player on second season. I can see them in Nza's madden editor. but I cannot see them in the game.
So any team had their broken roster such as one team had no punter. they cannot get another punter becasue FA has no punter. So I cannot simmulate the season and play the game.

I have one question. Why Free Agent players are classed as 4 categories such as extra Fa 1, 2, 3 ? Acutally it doesn't exist other category on FF/FI XIV ex mod.
I hope that fixed version will be released soon. thank you.

I have still never seen that franchise issue, but I guess we'll have to test for it. And the FAs are split up because we can't include all of them in one FA team. If you want to use a player from an extra FA team, swap him out with someone on the main FA team with NZA's editor.

It's me or practice not working?
P.S: thanks from the update!

This update specifically came about to make practice work. Make sure you're using the default roster.

Ah, okay. I think my computer's settings just weren't optimal.

I went into all the settings and it looks MUCH better now, like a whole new game.

Thank you so much! Great mod.

Previously reported but confirming I have the same problem.

Created a custom team. Replaced the jags. (Could be the issue but doubt it)

Simmed through first season, QB got injured so I signed Tebow. did the offseason.

Simmed Preseason, checked out my rosters, HB injured for the season. Go to sign a HB, no players in the FA pool. Also none in the FA extra 2. But FA extra 3 there are.

Downloaded the mod yesterday.

I believe i got the disappearance of the free agents solved.

Trying to sim some seasons ahead to make sure they still show up but it keeps hanging because the cowboy's QBs are injury prone. I will release Romo. and retry.

*EDIT. I'm having too many hang ups with the cowboys and the eagles. After the second season the free agents still show up. I will sim using the default roster and report my findings.
