Shame, as I tend to play with manager of nationality and name of the league I play in. And how do you change background? For me its white on default skin, with green overlay on some screens. You can edit it or create a new one when you start a new career, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I copied correct path into lanch properties but no access to skin i want. What am i doing wrong? Any help appreciated. In the skin folder look for skin_config.xml then change the line <string id="required_version" value="16.0.0" /> to skin_config.xml line to <string id="required_version" value="17.0.0" /> Then the game will pick up the skin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazza Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) So even before I start life as the new NUFC manager in any meaningful way (3days in) and after offering them a impoved contract I get all my sports scientists and my data analysts poached!

bestbrother Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Maybe I'm missing something, but do I have to pick the team I am going to manage before loading up the game?
