changing a team's offensive formation


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to change a team's default offensive formation?  I couldn't find this info in the Hacks directory and nothing came up for me when I searched.  I realize that TSBToolSupreme has an option available for this but, unless I have an old version, it doesn't work.  Thanks.

OF FORMATIONS SETUP
Each Team has an Offensive formation depending on the position of their BACKS on the field:
3 WR: 1 Rb / 3 Wrs / 1 TE - (Chargers, Redskins, Cardinals)
4 WR: 1 Rb / 4 Wrs - (Oilers, Lions, Falcons)
PRO: 2 Rbs/ 2 Wrs / 1 TE - (All of the rest)

 

Chargers x21647 (0C)*,

Redskins x2164B ,0x31007 (0E)*, 
Cardinals x2164F,  0x3100B (11)*  

 

*Changing to a differtent Team's number at this offset, will make this team have a 3 WR formation ( team 00=BUF, 1B=ATL)

 

Oilers x21654, x30FFB (07)**
Lions x21658, x30FFF (14)**
Falcons x2165C, x31003 (1B)**  *Changing to a differtent Team's number at these offsets, will make this team have a 4 WR formation ( team 00=BUF, 1B=ATL)

 

 

OR YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE EVERY TEAM by entering the code provided by jstout:

At x21642 input: 8AA66EBCD09FAA4C5096 *  (this will redirect to TEAMS' FORMATION at x21FE0)
At x21FE0  it will be the new FORMATION SETUP for the Teams in BUF-ATL order.  (00=pro, 01=4wr, 02=3wr-1te) Here you have to input 28 values (+ 2 for All-PROs)

 

At x30FF8 input: 8AA66EBC709EAAC001F011C002F0134CFE8F *  (this will redirect to  x31E80,  where PLAYERS' POSITION (WR,RB,TE) is assigned for the NEW FORMATION )
At x31E80  it will assign the CORRECT position for each new FORMATION SETUP. BUF-ATL order.  (00=pro, 01=4wr, 02=3wr-1te).Here you also have to input 28 values (+ 2 for All-PROs)

Ok great, thanks to pambazos88 I was able to see what was going on with TSBToolSupreme.

When I tested out the Offensive formation feature I must have tried it on a ROM that was already setup with this hack.

 

So.. simple way to get the Offensive formations to work correctly is to add the following 'SET' command in the text area and apply it to ROM:

SET(0x21642, 0x8AA66EBCD09FAA4C5096 )

Well for me, that jacked up the OF Starters screen somethin' fierce.  It changed it to the DE Starters screen but added a bunch of chaos.

Hmm... Seemed to work for me on the original 28 team ROM.

Can you send me the rom you're using?

I there a similar fix for the 28-team ROM for how a team substitute for injuries? (Now it's like the team is in their default formation setup.)

This is still only for 28-team roms, correct? Does anyone know what the offsets are for a 32-team rom?

32 team fix

 

For the 32 team rom I think the OF formations are baked in and can be edited by tecmo tool or else manually starting at 3f940

At x3f940  it will be the new FORMATION SETUP for the Teams in  BUF-ATL-ProBowl-NFC West order.  (00=pro, 01=4wr, 02=3wr-1te) Here you have to input 34 values (+ 2 for All-PROs)

 

 

Per @bruddog the following will re-route the

 

At x30FF8 input: A56EA8B9D09FC901F012C902F014EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEA *  (this will redirect to  x31FE0,  where PLAYERS' POSITION (WR,RB,TE) is assigned for the NEW FORMATION ) SET(0x30FF8, 0xA56EA8B9D09FC901F012C902F014EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEA)
At x31FE0  it will assign the CORRECT position for each new FORMATION SETUP. BUF-ATL-ProBowl-NFC West order.  (00=pro, 01=4wr, 02=3wr-1te).Here you also have to input 34 values (+ 2 for All-PROs)

Anyone trying to make formation edits in 2021 ROMs or beyond, those formations are located at 0x7F940 to 0x7F961. You can edit 0x3F940 but that will only result in frustration and tears, and no changes to the team formations. This also means that using the TSBToolSupreme is of no use for reading or writing the formations (other than that, an AMAZING tool)

 

In case this: BUF-ATL-ProBowl-NFC West order confused you, there are 34 bytes. The order in which they affect the teams is division-by-division: Buf, Mia, NE, NYJ, Cin, Cle, etc. up until NO, Atl, Car. the next two bytes are the Pro Bowl teams, and the last 4 are SF, LA, Sea, Ari.

 

0x31FE0 to 0x32001 remains the correct bank for matching up the players listed positions with the formation.
