This is the first release of the FF/FI XV Mod for Madden NFL 08. It updates the game to the 2014 season, with graphical updates, roster updates, schedule updates, and more.

Before I get to the installation, I'd like to thank Raston, NickyJ and Danchat for their work on the roster, NickyJ for his work on player and coach portraits, elguapo for his graphical updates and uniforms, Raston for his coach updates, NICK, LOBBS, Sleeper66, thumstyx, lionsfan, reika30, and BelieverInTeal for their uniforms they let us use, Bason for his soloplayers, elguapo, Sleeper66 and Austinmario for help with field art, Pick6 for his team logos, elguapo, BelieverInTeal, and lionsfan for their work on stadiums, everyone who created the tools we use, namely NZA, torontogrudlies, Rexpage, JDHalfrak, and several others, and torontogrudlies for providing a site on which we keep Madden modding alive. I'd also like to thank Donny Moore, who provided the ratings for the Madden game from which our mod's ratings are based.

Okay. Now the installation instructions.

1. Remove any previously installed mod.

2. Go into the "Program Files" folder, and open the "Main" folder. From that folder, copy the files "launch.dat" and "launch.dat-orig" to the games installation folder, which by default is C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Sports\Madden NFL 08\. Replace the original files.

3. Go back to the "Program Files" folder, and open the "Data1" folder. Copy the files "UIS_LIB_Stadiums.dat" and "UIS_LIB_Stadiums.dat-orig" to the "Data1" folder, which by default is C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Sports\Madden NFL 08\Data1\. Replace the original files.

4. Copy the files from the "Documents" folder to Documents\Madden NFL 08\

5. Load the game and click menu, then file. Find the listing for [Default Roster] and select it. Load that roster.

6. Enjoy.

To uninstall:

1. Remove "launch.dat" from the game's program folder, and change the name of "launch.dat-orig" to "launch.dat", without quotes.

2. Remove the "UIS_LIB_Stadiums.dat" file from the game's "Data1" folder, and change the name of "UIS_LIB_Stadiums.dat-orig" to "UIS_LIB_Stadiums.dat", without quotes.
