Does using the in-game editor affect the game?


Recommended Posts

Obviously using the in-game editor will affect the game in whatever way I might edit it, but is Football Manager aware of my using the editor?

I have just spent an entire pre-season trying to offload a player who wanted to leave and was causing non-stop fuss. He's not even a good player (which is probably why I couldn't offload him tbf), but he was miserable and a couple of his "friend" teammates were getting miserable about the whole affair as well.

Anyway, despite my constant efforts I couldn't get rid of him. Eventually he was complaining that I broke a promise - so I used the in-game editor to move him to the club he wanted to join. I receive no money for the transfer but he gets what he wants and all is well with the world. Or so I thought...

From the moment I moved him on, my performances have been awful. After winning our first 6 matches, we drew against cannon fodder and lost 2 league games in a row (quite rightly as well), and it's looking like a slump is on the horizon.

Is this because I used the editor, or simply coincidence?

I thought long and hard about doing it (because I've always had a sneaking suspicion the game would cheat if I cheated - fair's fair), but I saw no other way around it. In real life as a manager I could actually do more to move the player on.

The editor could actually be a great tool to get around the game's idiosyncrasies, but not if it's gonna counter me with cheats of it's own, as much as I would understand the reasoning :D

No it doesn't, just coincedance, it was enough work coding the editor itself I don't know where I would have fitted in the time to sabotage your game as well ;)

Thanks :D

No conspiracy theories - I just wanted reassurance (and hoped one of you SI guys would answer directly - much appreciated). The editor can be really very useful if used judiciously; the game has understandable limitations.
