Still alive and the record is in!

Too lazy to add in these records 😜, nice achievement

Not going to add it untill he can prove it is legit. 

Because we love the site we protect it. At least that's the way I see it. I've seen a big increase in these ridiculous achievements over the past months and I'm convinced it's the site's biggest threat. It's the main reason I've been posting less and less because why spend hours writing guides,  tactics and careers when one can simply cheat one's way to success??? It's very demoralizing and it takes massively away from those who don't + it gives an incentive to others /newcomers to outdo the next guy in any way possible. Imagine what the site would look like in a year's time if we keep our mouths shut and allow this bullshit. It'd be literally like a house of FMM junkies in here. I'd be long gone by then and I'm positive most regulars too.
I was thinking about writing an article on the topic but ffs I'm too tired to try and talk sense into people. Not that those cheaters are going to listen anyway, so to them I say go ahead cheat all you want but don't come in here bragging about it and expecting pats on the shoulder. 😉

Hello Vibers. I'm DucAnhNguyen, and today I create this special topic dedicated to hex editing save files using a hex editor. @Kun Aguero have already made one, but that's on the 2017 section, and some people still confused the 2017 method with the current one. Anyways, hex editors are powerful tools that can help you manipulate save files just by changing some values. I haven't fully mastered it, but for now I'll show you what I have learned so far about it.
What you will need:
- The full version of FMM18 (or you will have to endure fake names)
- A decent Hex Editor (I use HxD for Windows, Hex Editor on Android, and Bless for Ubuntu. Just google "HxD" for Windows, or "Hex Editor" on Play Store)
- A save file (Make sure that you've backups, because some of these tutorials are complicated and risky. One wrong change, and you might lose your save file FOREVER)
- Optionally, you can download Hex Calc on Android, just in case the Internet is down. The calculator in Windows 10 also have a "Scientific" mode that allows you to convert Hex to Dec or vice versa. Moreover, you can just google "Hex to Dec converter", and any site will do.
So, let's get started!
Hex Editor Tutorial #1 : Manage any national team or club team you want
*Please note that I wrote this tutorial base on @Kun Aguero's tutorial, with the help of @henda666. Credits goes to them for their hard work!*
Ever have the experience where you want to manage your dream team in a save, but always get rejected for the job or the position you want is always secured? Ever wanted to play with Germany or Japan national team but sadly can't due to licensing problem? Well, this tutorial will solve your problems, and make your wishes come true.
1. Load the nation.dat file in "Android>data>com.sigames.fmm18>files>installed>database". Search for your nation name in text string/ASCII. The code 4 digits ahead the nation's name is your nationality ID. Note it down (My nationality is Vietnamese, so it will be 5A 00)
*Note : If you are trying to search for Germany, make sure it's Germany instead of West Germany or East Germany.*

2. Load your save file under "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager Mobile 2018\normal\games“. Search FF FF 00 00 B2 07+nationality ID in Hex (it was AE 00 B2 07 +nationality ID before the winter update) . The values18 digits ahead of "FF FF 00 00 B2 07" is your manager's ID. Note it down. Here is my info in this praticular save:

CA 68 00 00 is my manager's ID, 1F 01 is the ID of my own club (Aston Villa in this case), and AE 01 is the nation I'm managing (England)
3. Search for the national team and you wished to manage in text-string. The code 10 values ahead will be the national team's ID. Note it down. B4 01 is the code for Germany team as shown below:

1C 02 00 00 is Joachim Löw's manager's ID (15 values behind team's name), the 28 00 behind it is the tell-tale sign that you've found the correct ID. Note all of them down, then replace it with your own (which is CA 68 00 00 in this case)
Also, if you want to change the club that you're managing, search for it as well. For example, if you want to change the club to Manchester United:

The club's ID is 64 01, and Mou's ID is FE 0D 00 00. Again, replace Mou's ID with yours, and note them down.
4. Search FF FF 00 00 B2 07+nationality ID in Hex, and replace your club's ID and national team's ID with the new one (1F 01 to 64 01, and AE 01 to B4 01)

5. Since I'm managing England, I'll have to replace myself with Joachim. Search for England (or any other team that you're managing, otherwise YOU CAN SKIP STEP 5 ENTIRELY) and replace your ID (CA 68) with Joachim's. Also do that with Aston Villa too.

6. This is the most crucial step. Ignore it, and your game WILL CRASH AFTER 3 SEASONS! There are two ways to do this, so I'll try @henda666 's method for Joachim Löw, and my own method for Mourinho in this tutorial (again, you can skip this if the club and/or nation you want has no manager)
- @henda666 's method: Search for the manager's UID on www.sortitoutsi.net. Convert it to Hex digits using any Hexadecimal translator or Hex Calculator. In this example, Joachim Low's UID is 127347, which converted to Hex is 1F173. Reverse it and you will have 73 F1 01 00. Search this in of Hex, change the code 20 digits below to AE 00 (or FF FF if you haven't manage any national team, and by doing that Joachim will be unemployed). That will remove him from the team and replace your spot in England.

- My own method: Search for Mou's ID (FE 0D 00 00) in hex, and keep searching until you find his current club ID (64 01) nearby, which is 37 values behind it. Again, change it to your current club's ID (1F 01, or FF FF if you haven't manage any team, and by doing that Mou will be unemployed). Only use this if the first method failed.
7. Save it and enjoy your work!
And that's how you can change your own club and national team, with the use of Hex Editor. Please bear with my horrible writting skills, and stay tuned for more!
 

Hi guys, it’s me again. After 2 hectic weeks of study and test, I’m back with the hex editing stuff. Although my writing skills are still borderline horrible, my editing skill are, at least, still improving.
So in this post, I’m going to make a tutorial about how to move a player to another club, with only the Hex Editor! As always, be sure to BACKUP YOUR SAVE FILE, or you will risk screwing it!
Remember the time I posted about how to edit players’ CA and PA, and you can find some information about that player? Turns out, some information are more useful than I anticipated. And now I’ll show you the steps to move that player to another club:
-        First, follow my tutorial about changing player’s CA/PA (which is just a few post away from all this), up until step 3:

The player in question is Arthur (Grêmio). I want to move him to Barcelona, since he will joins the club when the summer transfer window opened. I’ve use the previous steps to find his ID (his UID is 19259600, convert to hex we have 125E0D0, reverse it to D0 E0 25 01 to have his hexadecimal ID). The A4 00 part on the screenshot above is his club’s ID, which you can find it using KunAguero’s method (10 values ahead of the club’s full name)
Anyways, here is the important part. Take note of the A9 1A 00 00 part, which is 4 values ahead of his HID (hexadecimal ID). We will call it “secret ID”, or “SID” for now. After writing down the SID somewhere, change the A4 00 part to Barcelona’s ID (5E 03).
-        After changing A4 00 to 5E 03, search for FC Barcelona (careful not to use FC Barcelona B), you will find out something quite intriguing:

(Again, 5E 03 is the club’s ID, 10 values ahead of the club’s full name. CE 00 00 00 is Ernesto Valverde’s HID, and the 28 00 behind it acts like a separator between him and his players’ SIDs.)
See the FF FF FF FF behind those XX XX 00 00 parts? That is where you put the player’s SID. Replace the nearest FF FF FF FF part with Arthur’s SID (A9 1A 00 00). But the job is not done yet…
Search for Grêmio (you should search for FBPA instead, trust me, it’ll make things much easier):

Arthur’s SID is still there. Now, replace his SID with the last player’s SID (15 54 00 00, I honestly don’t know who he is), then replace the 15 54 00 00 part with FF FF FF FF:

And you’re done! Now save the edited file, load it in the game, and see the results!


So there you have it – a new way to move a player to a desirable club, without spending a penny or use IGE! Imagine what could happen if Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi can play for the same club, or Nicklas Bendtner making a glorious return to Arsenal? If you don’t want to mess with that, you can always use this method for making a save file with transfer update, while waiting for JayMarvel to release his tool (I don't know if he's still working on the tools, so we can only hope). Thanks for reading!
P/S: This method only works with clubs that hasn’t reached 40 player in main squad, otherwise demote some players to the reserve team. And I haven’t tried with loaned players, so feedback is much apprieciated.
 

Hex Editor Tutorial : Managing National Team (FMM 2018)
1. Load the nation.dat file in "Android>data>com.sigames.fmm18>files>installed>database". Search for your nation name in terms of text string/ASCII. The code 4 digits ahead the nation is your nationality code. Note it down. I will take Germany as example, 9100 is the nationality code.
*Note : If you are trying to search for Germany, make sure it's Germany instead of West Germany or East Germany.*

2. Load your save file under "Documents>Sports Interactive>normal>games“. Search for "ae00b207+nationality code" in terms of Hex. The code 18 digits ahead of "ae00b207" is your manager code. Note it down. Mine will be 5353 as shown below.

3. Search for the national team you wished to manage in terms of text string. The code 10 digits ahead will be the national team code. Note it down. B001 is the code for Germany team as shown below.

4. Changed the national team manager code to your manager code. It is 45 digits below the national team name. I changed that to my manager code which is 5353.

5. Change your national team. Go back to your code "ae00b207+nationality code". Change the code 2 digits behind to the national team code. I changed it to Germany national team code as shown below.

6. Search for the original manager's UID on www.sortitoutsi.net. Convert it to Hex digits using any Hexadecimal translator. In this example, Joachim Low's UID is 127347, which converted to Hex is 73f10100. Search this in terms of Hex, change the code 20 digits below to ffff. That will remove him from the team.
7. Save and enjoy!

Fastest poker? 

New record for the biggest win in World Cup.

Just equalled the fastest goal record again with Sadio Mane this time...
I just need to shave 1 teeny tiny second off this time lol.

Biggest win in international competition?

After two days of searching, I've finally found a way to edit a player's current ability (CA) and potential ability (PA). Although it's very complicated, I will still post it here since I'll probably forget about it if I don't write it down. Remember to BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILE, as this method is risky - one wrong value and your save file will be doomed.
So here goes:
1. First, find the player's unique ID (UID) in sortitoutsi.net, convert it to hex, then reverse it (In this tutorial I'll use Luke Shaw as an example. His UID is 29076105, to hex it will be 1BBAA89. Add a zero in front of the hex values if the number of characters is an odd number - Shaw's hexadecimal UID has 7 characters, so I have to write it down as 01 BB AA 89. Reverse it and you have 89 AA BB 01)
2. Open a Hex Editor (I use HxD for Windows, Hex Editor for Android, and Bless for Ubuntu), then use it to open your save file.

3. Find the player's reverse hex UID (89 AA BB 01), and you will have this:

The high-lighted part is the general information of the player, including his club (64 01, his club's ID, is Man Utd's). The one in the red box is the hexadecimal ID (HID) that FMM use, so note it down. (It's E3 17 00 00 for Shaw).
4. Find the HID of the player, as mentioned above. Keep finding until you see this:

The right values are always accompanied with a long string of 9A 9C 1E 10 10 blah blah blah.... , so stop searching immediately if you have found something like that. 55 values from the ID, take a note of the 3 values behind (8C 00 9C). That the player's CA and PA, separated by the 00 in the middle. Convert it to decimal and you will see his CA and PA (Shaw's is 140 and 156, respectively).
6. All you have to do now is to edit his CA and PA accordingly. The values are raging from 00 to C8 (0 to 200 in decimal, don't try to exceed that), and CA will have to be lower or equal to PA, otherwise the game will crash.

.. I think I've overdone that a little bit.
Anyways, save the file, and you're done!
7. Load the save file in FMM 18 and play as per usual. You will only find some stats differences at first, but if you have the in-game editor (IGE), you will see the results immediately
Before:

After:

That's how you can edit a player's CA and PA using Hex Editor instead of IGE. Happy hex editing!
P/S: sorry for my bad English grammar, some typos that I overlooked, and my poor writing skills
 

Also, I found out how to edit your team's reputation. First, find the two values that is 31 values behind the team's short name, like in the reply above (It's also right next to the club manager's ID, mine is CA 68). Then reverse the two values' order (for example, Freiburg's reputation is 8B 1C in the save file, reverse it to 1C 8B, the convert to decimal, then you will have 7303, which is the team's reputation). If you want to edit it, find a number you want (ranging from 0 to 10000, I will choose 10000 for example), convert it to hex and reverse it (10000 is 27 10 in hex, swap it to 10 27), then replace your team's repuation with the values you have found (in my case, replace 8B 1C with 10 27). 
Note that 10000 is the maximum limit of a club's reputaion, anything further will likely crash the game.

It looks like the old hex editing method doesn't work anymore with the new update. But the method from one year earlier works though. So instead of ae 00 b2 07 (national code), we use the same old ff ff 00 00 b2 07 (national code).
