Correcting an overstatement first: I said every card family works. Balls, stadia,
badges and kits do not, and this is the start of that, not the finish.
CLUB ITEMS (FUT_CLUBITEMS=1, default off). tools/fut_clubitems.py builds shelves from
the game's own tables: fcc_balls 42, fcc_stadium 78, fcc_badgecards 656,
fcc_kitcards 1482, fcc_leaguelogos 44, each with its real carddbid AND its real
cardassetid. Counts are wired into the club stat set, replacing the honest zeros
rather than appending a second row per id (the deserializer does
store[ctx][statId] = value, so two rows for one id is a coin toss).
Counts FIRST and on purpose. The consumables round proved the count gates the fetch:
the client does not ask for an item list until club/stats reports a non-zero count,
and the CLUB tab reads 0x1e balls, 0x28 kits, 0x14 stadia. Arming the counters is what
makes the client name the item route, which is the one thing static reading has never
produced for this family -- cardtype 9 has NO arm in the merge, so nothing about it is
discoverable from the card DB.
What is deliberately NOT guessed: which cardsubtypeid means ball versus stadium. The
eight values that reach cardtype 9 are {30,31,145..150} and the assignment appears in
none of the 149 dumped tables. probe_shelf() serves one item per candidate so the
screen can say which is which, rather than shipping a guess into someone's club.
PACKS (FUT_PACK_MIX=1, default on). A pack is no longer eleven footballers: roughly a
quarter of each pack is now consumables and occasionally staff, as a ratio so it
scales from a 5-card bronze to an 11-card premium. Club items are excluded until their
subtypes are verified -- a pack is the worst place to discover a wrong subtype,
because the card lands in the save and has to be cleaned out by hand.
Also fixes the art id AT THE SOURCE. fut_consumables now sets cardassetid from the
fcc_ tables, so a pack-granted consumable renders correctly too. The earlier fix only
corrected the copy served by the club route, which meant packs would have dealt cards
with the green NOT FOUND box again.
Pack tests run against a COPY of the profile, after an earlier test persisted 15 cards
into the live save and had to be undone by hand.
439 + 414 checks green.

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.

SQLite database
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.

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.
