funman300 285d4f6cb7 fifa17-recon: the blockers plan from the multi-agent pass
Five parallel Ghidra investigations, one adversarial reviewer each, one synthesis.
Kept in the repo because the reviewer corrections are load-bearing: they refuted claims
in four of the five reports, two of which would have shipped wrong behaviour (a
speculative /season body justified by our own curl traffic in the log, and a store
field block that was a freeze rather than a regression).

Carries the next live session (one launch, three flags, four menu actions, one
read-only memory probe), the implementation queue, what is genuinely blocked and why,
and a what-could-make-this-plan-wrong section that names the store change as the
concrete regression risk.

OpenFUT

Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.

OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.

openfut-core Game-independent offline FUT backend
openfut-bridge FIFA 23 integration layer + reverse-engineering proxy

Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.

Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

Running

# Start the offline backend
cd openfut-core
cargo run

# Start the proxy (for traffic capture / FIFA integration)
cd openfut-bridge
cargo run

Core listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default. Bridge listens on http://127.0.0.1:8443 by default.


Design Principles

  • Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
  • Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
  • Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
  • Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
  • No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.

This project is not affiliated with EA Sports. You must own FIFA 23 legitimately to use this software. This project does not bypass any ownership verification and is intended only to restore offline playability of a game whose online services have been retired.
