gutter_punk Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I've stalked these boards for years and people have tried before, so I thought I would just take another crack at it....Does anybody have any clue how to edit the playoff structure, as in who plays who? I read a post that said jstout figured has at least somewhat narrowed it down as to where this information is located, and I had wanted to fiddle with it. Any help is appreciated, whether it's specific or just a "I think the info is located at x?????? but I'm not sure." If we do this, it could really open up the possibililties for College and pre-1990 roms. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 It's impossible, not unless you recode the whole game. Sorry dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 It's impossible, not unless you recode the whole game. Sorry dude I wouldn't say its impossible just nobody has figured out how or where yet. I've done some stuff on the playoffs but nothing has panned out as usable or even remotely positive.

jstout Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 an old post but would you happen to remember what banks these were?That was a long time ago and not sure I still have all of the information. Are you looking for something in particular?Here is the storage of the playoff tree in SRAM:AFC: NFC: $6786 $678A $6787 $678B$6776 $677A$6777 $677B $6796 $679A $679E $679F $6797 $679B$677F $6783$677E $6782 $678F $6792 $678E $6791After week 17 is played it writes the teams into their slot for the playoffs (using their team number x00 = Buffalo and x1B = Atlanta). After each game is played then it writes the score into the location after the team numbers (the team with the higher score has their icon placed in the next playoff location) and writes the team number into the next playoff spot in SRAM.

afdave Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Has anything happened in the playoff modifying realm lately?I'm playing around with my AFL Rom for 2008, and I've put all the teams into their correct 4 divisions for 2008, but, I'd like to make it so that it uses 2 division and 4 WC teams for each conference in the playoffs, not 3 and 3 (I have 1 empty division now in each conference, so, it would right now I assume pull some random team from that division as a "division winner" that hasn't even played a game). I tried following the code explanations above but didn't get very far.From what I gathered though, it seems like the following needs to occur:* skip including the west division in determining "division champs" for each conference* given the memory slots jstout found, change it so that it "loops" and stores 4 WC teams instead of 3 (adding the 3rd div winner slot as the 1st WC slot).

I hope it helps you though.Thanks for that jstout.I tried putting it in my code, and while it didn't break it, it put the "AFC East" division champ in every bracket slot, so, obviously I need to figure out where to tweak it some. I modified your "check for div winner" part at the top though to skip the western divisions instead of NFC central & west, and that did seem to work.What do you use to modify sections of the ROM in assembly? I assume you have something to do that, and you just are not modified bits in a hex editor for that programming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you send me the rom I can take a look and see if anything obvious is wrong.For all my work now I basically use FCEUXD and any notes that I have or acquired. I use ca65 now for my wholesale playbook changes. Now and then I use something else but mostly just what is above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbbuck Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 i am working on a college football rom and I figured i would check on this again with anyone.... how would one make it so only the division winners qualify for the playoffs. i edited the PPU stuff in fxeucd but i do not know how to get those changes translated into hex to save it in the actual rom. the eight 4-team conferences i have are an SEC 1&2 (east/west) a big 12 N & S, a Big 10, a Big 10/Big East combo, a Pac 10, and a Pac/wac/mwc combo. basically am looking for each conference winner to always go to the same spot so the 1st round is like the conference championship games. for instance, SEC 1 plays SEC 2, big 12 N vs Big 12 S, etc... Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Basically i want to figure out how to have the playoffs like the attached image: Rick 8bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRaj Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 So I found the playoff information as well as where the program calculates for Divisional Winners; wondering if one of these factors causes the "Cliched Division" cutscene.
