Hello, after playing careers in the present day and during the era of the three GOATs, I would really love to create a career where the greatest players in tennis history all play at the same time (Agassi, Federer, Alcaraz, Laver, and all the others together). Is that possible?
Knowing that I'm on PS5 and I don't know anything about coding.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

you'll have to change their birth year and their FirstYear. It's not too hard if you're motivated. A tutorial to get you started => topic60-35939.php .

Hello Manu,
Thanks for your reply. Thanks to your advice, I was able to add some tags to a current career. However, I have a few questions after playing and simulating some careers.

1-Why does a career that starts in 2025 actually begin in 2023?

2-I tested leaving Federer and Nadal ranked number 1 throughout their careers in the RankingPerYear. After simulating several careers, I noticed that they often drop to ranks 25, 30, or even lower. The same happens with Alcaraz, who sometimes falls to rank 50, even though his rankperyear is set to 1. I understand if they drop to top 5–10, but is such a large drop normal? On the contrary, some players who shouldn't rise above rank 15–20 sometimes end up ranked 1 or 2 in the world...

3-Many young players are missing from the XKT database: Cina (wrong date of birth), Landaluce, Kouamé, Quinn, and many others. Are there any other mods where we can add these young players into career mode?

Thanks a lot for your answers, and congratulations on all your great work.

1) The player base is not up to date as of 2024. You should grab the official base from the Modding SDK if it's important for you, or add rankings for all players in 2023 & 2024 in your current bases.

2) I guess your changes are not taken into account. Check if it works or not by changing their name.

3) Just add them in your Players.ini (or _Mod.ini) ; if you want to keep your saved game, read "Adding players to the base without invalidating your saved games" here => topic11-31376.php .

And thanks for the praise.
