It sounds like you're asking for a helpful comparison or guide regarding development data (or "devdata") for FIFA 09 through FIFA 19 — likely related to Career Mode player growth, potentials, or editing databases.
Here’s a clear, useful breakdown of what "devdata" means for those FIFA titles and how to work with it effectively.
After saving your hybrid devdata.dat, you must run the FIFA 19 Regenerator (or i68 Controller) to rebuild the .bh file. Otherwise, the game will ignore your changes and revert to default.
If you do not want to manually edit HEX values, several community modders have released pre-made packs that embody the "devdata dat fifa 09 19 better" philosophy:
devdata.dat sometimes confuses the Career Mode training drills. Save often.devdata.dat will result in a squad mismatch error if you try to play FUT or Seasons online.You will need FIFA File Explorer or CG File Explorer 16.
FIFA 19/Data/db/.devdata.dat file. Back it up (rename it devdata_original.bak).It is worth noting that some purists argue FIFA 09 was "better" for modding because the old .dat files were easier to crack. There is truth to this: the simplicity of FIFA 09's structure made it a sandbox for creative community members.
However, FIFA 19’s complexity opened the door for Face Mods and Stadium Mods that utilize high-resolution 3D scanning. We moved from painting textures onto a generic head shape (FIFA 09 style) to sculpting geometrically accurate faces with hair physics. The barrier to entry is higher, but the ceiling for quality is infinitely higher.
