Simply open RDBM 22, select "Open FIFA 17", then select the career save, in DB1 - go to career_users and navigate to the "seasoncount" column and change it to a lower value. I recommend to change this value back to 1 every single season. Changing at the end of 15 seasons should also work. Do NOT change it to 0, as that will crash the game.

I have also noticed in player career that the game might force you to retire despite changing the seasoncount value. I'm assuming this is just because of age or something. What you have to do each season additionally is to save your career file a day or two before a new season starts, open your career file in RDBM and go to the "players" table in DB2, then you have to set the value in column "isretiring" to 0(if it's not already) and you'll be able to continue for another season.

As you can see I'm in career mode in 2032, which should have ended at the end of 15 season in 2031:

That's incredible news. I've always dreamed about doing some ridiculously long career in one of the golden age Fifas, would be dope if it was proved to not crash significantly soon by something else (wondering if the regen system could go on indefinitely or if it collapses to a certain point?)

Do you think this could also work on other chapters, like 16, 19 etc.?

Hypothetically it should work on other games, if there's the same table career_users there. I don't have FIFA 16 or 19, but if you can test it that would be great. For FIFA 19, I believe you can still use RDBM 22 to open the career file.

Have a hellish weekend work wise (which is already started of course), I'm also not much practical of editing (never used RDBM 22), but will surely try to as soon as I'm free. Hopefully somebody a bit more versed on the theme wiill see the thread and try before me 🙂

Using RDBM is extremely simple, it'll probably take you a max of 5 minutes.
Download it here: https://dl.fifa-infinity.com/fifa-22/tools-fifa-22/revolution-db-master-22/
open it, click on "file", click on "open fifa xx"(xx = whatever fifa u r testing for),
it will open file explorer and then choose the career mode file,
click open and wait for a few seconds to load.
That's it, you just go to the table I wrote earlier, change the value and save. And then go to load career and pick the most recently saved career file.

I might try to download the cracked fifa 19 on my other laptop and test it tomorrow.
 
you have to open the actual career file, not the squad file.
I understand that. I meant that RDBM 19 is better than 22 because it has some explanatory "what is what" parameters like "facialhairtypecode" "bodytypecode" "haircolorcode". RDBM22 don't show this.
 
simmed until 2040 with no crashes:

ah, got it. U can use whatever RDBM you want, as long as it supports the game you're editing.
 
А, понял. Можете использовать любой RDBM, если он поддерживает редактируемую вами игру.
Can I ask you a question? Maybe you know it, what is a parameter "faceposerpreset" in FIFA19 (and FIFA 21 too) in players stats id's? FIFA 18 don't have it.

I have no idea. I've never really edited anything besides fifa 17.

"How to override a face assignment from the Lua system
Say you have another face mod you want to use with the mod, just follow these steps:
1. Either using Cheat Table, Live Editor or RDBM, change the "faceposerpreset" value to 5 This will remove any face assignment or headclasscode change that the Lua system would normally make. If you want to reverse the change, just change the faceposerpreset value to something less than 5.
This works for players and managers."

So I'm guessing it has to do with the head mesh assignments? You have to play around with the values and see if there's any changes in the game. From what I understand so far though, I don't think this column matters that much unless you are doing face mods.

Thank you! I added several players from FIFA 18 to FIFA 19 who had original faces. I set "faceposepreset" to random values 1-4. At first time, I thought it was the emotion on a football player's face after scoring a goal. But it doesn't seem to matter in the game.
