| Parameter | FIFA 13 Stock | Updated 2019 Version | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Pass Error (User) | 45 | 52 | | Pass Error (AI) | 40 | 50 | | Shot Error | 50 | 55 | | Goalkeeper Ability | 55 | 48 | | Run Frequency | 70 | 60 | | First Touch Error | 50 | 58 |
Result: Slower build-up play, realistic first touches, and goalkeepers who aren't either brick walls or turnstiles.
Unlike modern .ini files, devdata.dat is not human-readable by default. It contains hundreds of hexadecimal values that map directly to gameplay sliders:
When you play a match, the FIFA engine references this file thousands of times per second to determine ball physics and player logic.
We tested the "devdata.dat FIFA 09 19 updated" (Community Build R9) across three titles. Here are the observed results.
After spending 10 hours testing the latest release, here is what stands out:
1. The Ultimate Hybrid Roster You can now play as 2019 Paris Saint-Germain against 2009 Manchester United. The update merges two eras. Want to see prime Kaka dribble around a young Kylian Mbappé? You can do that. The database includes over 12,000 players updated to their 2019 ratings, but the legends of 2009 remain in Free Agents.
2. Gameplay That Still Feels Like '09 Here is the genius part: The physics remain FIFA 09. This means finesse shots from 40 yards are still viable. The "pace abuse" with Theo Walcott still works. The modders didn't try to turn this into FIFA 19; they just updated the assets. The result? A fast, chaotic, fun experience that modern FIFAs lack.
3. Visual Facelift (Kits & Boots) The update includes a massive boot pack (featuring the Predator, Mercurial, and F50 lines from the late 2010s) and fully updated kits for the Premier League, La Liga, and Bundesliga for the 2018-19 season.
With the gradual shift to the Ignite engine (console-only) and a modified PC port, DevData.dat underwent changes:
Modder Workaround: Users would delete the shipped DevData.dat and replace it with a custom plaintext version created by modding tools.
File Characteristics:
Purpose in FIFA 09:
Key Technical Note: In FIFA 09, DevData.dat was entirely human-readable and editable with Notepad. Setting LOOSE_FILES_LOADING = 1 forced the game to check a Game/data folder first.
Cause: The file is in the wrong folder, or Windows renamed it to devdata.dat.txt.
Fix: Enable "View file extensions" in Windows. Remove the .txt extension.
