FIFA 17 Modding News
  POSTED September 29, 2016
Many asked for mods for FIFA 17. Unfortunately we have not good news yet. Even when our friends from 3dgamedevblog.com have made progress understanding folders structure, we are not able to access files. The new Frostbite engine is far from being modding friendly.Â
1. Folders structure has been understood. Even when there are no more big or bh files the structure of new files containers ( now cas, sb, toc ) is not too complex. When you access these containers you find out that files are distributed similar to FIFA 16 ( I mean you find folders like kit, kitnumbers, jerseyfonts, etc )
2. So where´s the problem ? Files are encrypted. Not known method works with them and chances to find how to do access them are not so many. This is where we are now and probably for a long time ( hope not for ever )
3. Imagine that even when the files could be decompressed, there are still more challanges ahead. For instance, how to edit them, if there are chances to read them from external folder, or even if there is a chance to place them back in containers without crashing the game.
So, if you are expecting mods for FIFA 17 you´ll need to be patience. We don´t know if we will be ever able to mod the game.
Many ask if they should buy PS4/XBOX or PC version. If you are thinking on buying PC version because of mods I´ll suggest you to buy PS4 one. Mods are still far from possible.Â
