RESULT OF THE PREVIOUS COMMIT, recorded before anything else: sending itemType on
cardtype-7 club items did NOT make them ingest. Client relaunched, ?type=kit
answered total=2 emitted=2 with itemType="kit" on both, and afterwards there is
still no cardtype-7 record resident and the hook still traces
KITS_AVAILABLE = 0. The player/staff-vs-kit/badge/stadium correlation was real
but it is NOT the cause. The field is kept because every real EA item in the
capture corpus carries it and the two ingesting families already did, but it is
now labelled wire fidelity, not a fix.
Also already refuted, so neither is the answer: ?type=equippables answered with a
kits-only body (kits stayed undefined), and the kit ids are correct - 6300006 and
6400003 are the real fcc_kitcards carddbids for team 21 home/away with matching
category 2/3 and year 0.
This adds OPENFUT_FIFA17_KIT_PROBE (default OFF, staging armed) which appends two
synthetic kits to ?type=kit so ONE client restart discriminates the two remaining
hypotheses instead of one restart each:
6300007 MINIMAL - exactly the field set a STAFF item carries, which is known to
ingest, plus cardsubtypeid 9. If only this appears, one of the kit-only
extras (assetId, cardassetid, teamid, category, year) makes the client
discard the item.
6300008 NAMED - full kit shape plus name/localizedName/description, the three
fields the cardtype-7 parse arm is documented to copy and which OpenFUT has
never sent. If only this appears, they are required, not optional.
If NEITHER appears, ?type=kit is not the route that populates the collection
FUN_1800d73d0 scans, and the search moves to which route does.
Both ids are real team-21 carddbids, served free so they cannot disturb the
active-kit assignment, with instance ids outside Core's range. Two items in one
family: the response that crashed this client on 2026-08-05 was thirty across
five.
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 Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23bridgelineage and is kept for historical context.Run the server (canonical):
cd fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python && docker compose up -d— seefifa17-recon/FUT-RUNBOOK.md.openfut-coreis the shared offline backend (still used by the FIFA 17 path);openfut-bridgeis 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.

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.

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

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.
