You cannot edit a fifa_ng_db-meta.xml file in a standard text editor. Instead, you need specialized software designed to interpret it alongside the main database.

attributes = player_data.find('Attributes') for attribute in attributes: attribute.text = str(int(attribute.text) + training) fifa-ng-db-meta.xml

When porting databases from newer games (e.g., FIFA 23) to older engines (e.g., FIFA 14/16), the database schemas often differ. The meta file highlights these differences, allowing modders to map fields from the new schema to the old schema.

If you are a modder, you live and die by this file. Here is why it is the center of the universe for large-scale mods:

# Pseudo-code example db = Database('fifa-ng-db.db') schema = load_schema('fifa-ng-db-meta.xml') # Load fifa-ng-db-meta

Other notable tools that interact with these files include:

It works hand-in-hand with fifa_ng_db.db to control how rosters, player attributes, teams, and leagues are read by the game engine. Modders use this XML metadata file to structuralize customized edits, ensuring the game does not crash when reading altered databases. What is fifa-ng-db-meta.xml?

For creators who want to safely edit the file to add custom columns (such as expanding player traits or adding historical stats), the file follows standard XML syntax: The meta file highlights these differences, allowing modders

What data types are in each column (e.g., "short," "integer," "string").
