CEP FAQs

Ensure you have followed these steps: 1. Have installed CEP on a CLEAN FIFA: no faces, no ads, no custom kits, etc... Be sure that the FIFA 07 or FIFA 08 directory in Documents and Settings is empty. 2. Have executed fatbhbuilder.exe as is in the default installer at the end of installation process. 3. Have not modified in any way the CEP content: if you modify any file of FIFA after CEP installation the proper working of the CEP is not guaranteed, and no support can be given on this. If your crash happens during your career and always before a certain match you should use EAFFAnalyser available in the link below as a beta and soon here on Sweetpatch.

Yes, the CEP is compatible with Rinaldo's CM since 3.1 update. The Creation Master has not been tested intensely regarding to the FIFA 2008 version, but it should be compatible without specific problems related to the CEP. Since the 5.0 version in the Creation Master for FIFA 2007 you do not need to select "Open CEP" option from the CM menu.

You can submit simple txt file updates and changes in rosters to fifaock@yahoo.it. Alternatively, if you have some editing abilities, you can compile information for the team you'd like to see in CEP with a roster in excel and adding the information needed: send the XLS to the above mail and I'll try to add the team to CEP elaborating the data. It is very much appreciated the submitting of entire leagues and divisions. Identifying bugs and small details to be improved is very welcome too: use the mail fifaock@yahoo.it to segnalate your suggestions.

You are welcome: we try to gather the best talents in the FIFA scene and to develop the new talents. Contact us through mail fifaock@yahoo.it and we'll take your contribution in consideration for sure. The best option, if you know how to use advanced editing in FIFA, is to export from the db you realized with the new teams the informations on new teams from the following tables: table_teams, table_teamwrite, table_teamkits, table_teamcountry, table_players, table_teamplayerlinks.

Absolutely not: CEP is propriety of Sweetpatch TV and is protected against duplication, redistribution and unauthorized modifications. What you can do, if you want, is to create patches for CEP as addons that need the CEP. You can contact the author for details at fifaock@yahoo.it

Be sure to have installed the CEP as shown in the first question of these FAQs: is very important that the FIFA 07 and FIFA 08 directories in Documents and Settings are empty the first time you run FIFA with CEP installed.

You have a 32 or 16 Mb video card, that is a very old model: upgrade to 64mb to play with CEP, otherwise you'll not be able to see the new kits and there's nothing that can be done about this.

Be sure to have executed fatbhbuilder.exe inside your data directory of FIFA (installer should do it for you). If the problem persists report the team with the missing kit writing to fifaock@yahoo.it and I'll fix it with an update.

Unfortunately due to the limitations of my own personal time (which all my free time is taken up with developing the CEP) I am unable to assist, so please don't ask about it. I hope, when I will have more free time, to realize and upload some video tutorials to help you editing with advanced methods your FIFA, in the meanwhile I suggest you to use Rinaldo's utilities that you can find here on Sweetpatch.

Yes you can, but be sure that it is a gameplay that doesn't change the career settings of FIFA or you can encounter problems and freezings not related to the CEP.

You can with Creation Master, if you have a better kit/minikit to submit send it to fifaock@yahoo.it and we'll be glad to add share it with the rest of community. Note that you can't add kits and minikits with Kit Raptor and Monkey Dragon's utilities unless you add new CEP teams ids in the teams.ini files of both programs. You can obtain a team id using Creation Master by Rinaldo. Note that for CEP 2008 you have to add kits in FIFA 2007 format, not FIFA 2008 one.

Yes, CEP uses 1gk kits because 2gk kits make the game crash in FIFA 07 and makes growing the fifa.fat file more than the 1gk one. In FIFA 2007 we encountered a great instability using 768x768 kits (2gk), while in FIFA 2008 the choice to use 1gk kits is due to the very small toleration of the fifa.fat file size by the game. Ask EA to support better fifa.fat growing size for next year version :)

Your FIFA is not "clean" (you have a FIFA 07 or FIFA 08 directory in Documents and Settings). Delete this directory in Documents and Settings. You will then have to create a new profile.

Delete the situation.ini file inside your FIFA directory. The situation.ini file is included in CEP because it allows a better management and flexibility of the game cameras, if you don't like the effect just delete the situation.ini file in FIFA's main directory.

Delete the situation.ini file inside your FIFA directory.

The best way to uninstall completely CEP for both Fifa 2007 and Fifa 2008 is to uninstall completely and reinstall the game.

The CEP changed all the potentials to make the game more unpredictable, you have to discover where on the field a player renders more. Many players have a dynamic style of potential progression: i.e. a player that is an 85 overall can have a declining development (losing fitness and rating in 2/3 years) and then have a peak of growth (recovering and improving this potential after 4/5 years). These codes of development have been discovered by Fifaccitiu. While this can be a "problem" in friendly mode, in the career mode (on which is centred the CEP) the CPU automatically changes the roster to fit the best formation. If you think that some player are underrated or overrated segnalate this by mail at fifaock@yahoo.it

I know, we are preparing and expanding a huge minihead expansion that already reached the 2.0 version, so please just be patient for the next version and you will have almost all the main leagues of the CEP covered with specific miniheads.

This is because in CEP database this player has a different id, please segnalate the players with this problem at fifaock@yahoo.it

The game is not blocked and has not crashed: considering the quantity of teams and leagues present in CEP the game needs at the end of each season about 10 minutes to calculate all the fixtures and the transfers for the next season, depending on your processor power. Just be patient, take a break of 10 minutes and you will start another exciting season with CEP teams.

This problem is usually related to the calendar congestion (too many matches in a short time); you should use the excellent EAFFAnalyser utility available in the link below and soon on Sweetpatch in the Extend your game section: be sure to activate the options to automatically fix the fixtures on your save file and you'll resolve the problem.

Yes, this is due to the use of 2007 kits in FIFA 2008, we are searching for a technical solution, for now just be patient: the choice was between TO NOT release CEP for 2008 and to have it with this glitch. Anyway this happens only on camera zooms.

No you can't, if you install EA's official patches for FIFA 2008 CEP will most probably crash.

For now third kits have been disabled to obtain more space in the fifa.fat in order to be able to add all the other kits and all the additional GKs kits present in the CEP. In the next update we plan to re-add original third kits and they should be available again in the fan shop.

Avoid planning friendlies if you have problem of crashing during the summer months: CEP fixtures are different and usually much more intense than the original FIFA, so you can experience problems if you plan friendly matches too.

Be sure to have deleted the FIFA 08 directory in Documents and Settings the first time you have run CEP after installation, if you did it then use excellent Steve Pitt's utility EAFFAnalyser utility to de-congestionate fixtures in career mode. Beta of this utility is available at the link below and soon on Sweetpatch website.

This problem is related for the first downloads of the part3 of the CEP 2007 installer and the quickfix (now both fixed) that contains a config.dat from the nordic version of the game. You can restore your config.dat file from your DVD of FIFA 2007: it's in the 0compressed.zip file in the main directory of the DVD.
