funman300 d37a9d5b5e feat(fifa17): ownership-backed squad manager, not opaque round-trip
Move the squad manager from an opaque, unvalidated wire ref in the squad
extension to a resolved, ownership-backed assignment (Core migration 0023
squad_managers).

- squad::to_proposed reverse-resolves the manager wire ref to a Core
  owned_card_id on ProposedSquad; an unresolvable manager is reported as
  an unresolved wire id (a live save is refused rather than assigning a
  manager the club does not own).
- squad_ext: drop the opaque manager field from Fifa17SquadExtensionV1
  (clean cutover) and the now-unused SquadEntityRef->WireItemRef From.
- squad_projection: project the manager as the STATIC_REVERSED [{id,dream}]
  wire ref resolved from the owned assignment; absent -> [] (never faked).
  Richer manager itemData (contract/league/nation) is INFERRED-only and
  left out pending wire reversal.
- import(apply): drop a historical dangling manager ref rather than
  failing the whole import (live PUTs still refuse an unresolved manager).

OpenFUT

⚠️ Status — see docs/PROJECT_STATE.md (canonical). The working, actively-developed target is FIFA 17, not FIFA 23. Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23 bridge lineage and is kept for historical context.

Run the server (canonical): cd fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python && docker compose up -d — see fifa17-recon/FUT-RUNBOOK.md. openfut-core is the shared offline backend (still used by the FIFA 17 path); openfut-bridge is the retired FIFA 23 integration.

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.
