funman300 9a0a76c9f4 fifa17-recon: real positions, clubs and the six card attributes for all 17,563 players
The pool now comes from the game's OWN resident database, not from a rating index
plus guesses. tools/db_dump.py walked the client's self-describing table catalog
read-only and wrote data/tables/ (149 tables, 55MB); tools/build_player_facts.py
turned it into data/player_facts.json; data/pool.json is the compact form fut_cards
loads.

MEASURED, per player: position (players.preferredposition1), nationality, teamid,
leagueid (via leagueteamlinks), and the six card attributes.

The six attributes are NOT columns -- they are a weighted sum of the 29 base
attributes, and the weights are read out of the game's own playerattributesmapping
table rather than from published formulas. Checked against real FIFA 17 cards:
Messi 89/90/86/96/26/61 and Ibrahimovic 72/90/81/85/31/86 are EXACT, Suarez is one
off on physical, Ronaldo within two on pace and shooting. Keepers come out directly
from the gk* columns.

What this fixes on screen: Kaka was a CDM, Bale a CM, Suarez a GK, and every
attribute was derived from the rating. Now Bale is RW, Boateng is a CB with 90
defending, De Gea is a GK, and a bronze pack deals real bronze players in real
positions.

REVERSAL, deliberate: nation/team/league were being sent as ZERO so the client would
fill its own values (the merge fills those three only when they arrive zero). Now
that we hold the game's own numbers there is nothing to gain from zeros, and they
actively hurt -- club-stats drill-downs bucket by the item's own nation and leagueId,
so a club full of zeros would have quietly emptied the per-nation and per-league
panels fixed the day before. Send the real values.

The old rating-index path is kept as a fallback so the pool still builds without
data/pool.json, and it now says out loud which of the two it used, because one is a
measurement and the other is a guess.

439 + 61 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.

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.

Disclaimer

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.
