Texmod is a program not specifically written for Madden (indeed it is used for other titles like Guild Wars) that allows, to put it simply, access to certain resident memory addresses that are utilized when a game is being played. It allows uses to "inject" something different into the memory addresses to change the graphics of a game. It is a bit of a work around or a trick to bypass things that are hard coded. In Madden's case (and in Guild Wars as well), it can be used to change the uniforms that Madden would otherwise display with an altered version. It's not the most ideal solution to get fancy and modified uniforms into the game, but it does the job (with texmod and graphic editing programs like Paint Shop Pro and PhotoShop, much more can be done than the in-game madden uniform editor/creator can do). It seems quite complicated at first when you start using it, but once you start trying it out and get some practice with it, it does becomes much easier. It should be absolutely fine with digital downloaded madden. Also, beware false positives with virus scanners and texmod. Because it alters active memory addresses, many virus scanners may detect it as a trojan (because of how it operates). You may have to temporarily disable your AV while using it, like me (I use Bit Defender) or create an exclusion rule. It is not a threat (as long as it was downloaded from a reputable site).
