phnompenhandy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I'm not getting the FM23 pre-game editor to work. What am i failing to click? I just want to add the missing players to my squad, for a Scottish non-league side. The club is in the main game, just not playable. I added the missing players to the squad, which exist in the db. The 'test rules' option is not available, but I didn't change any competitions. The changes don't show up. I then tried swapping the club with a Scottish League Two side to see if it becomes playable - the swap doesn't show up either. Something is stopping FM23 from recognising my changes in the editor. Any ideas chaps?? nb the *.fmf files are correct and present in the C:\Users\HP\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\editor data folder, but in 'Career Game Setup' the Database menu is greyed out. Wait, no, got it! For anyone else with this confusion, "C:\Users\HP\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\editor data" is a completely different location to the folder where I keep all my add-ons i.e. the graphics folder, editor data and everything else.

stg34tx Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) My first time using the pre-game editor and trying to change finances for a club. The club has a Rich Benefactor (Underwriter). The changes I make are as follows: Balance from 29.1m to 500m Transfer budget from 13.5m to 150m Remaining payroll budget per week from 150k to 250k I save the data file, and make sure it is selected when I start a new game. The transfer budget, and remaining payroll are updated but the balance is negative (-23m). I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What I do I want to bolster the finances, is take one of the worst player already registered at the team and make a future transfer one week after the start of the save.

I went to nation rules > add divisions, but it only shows 3 'Derde Klasse' divisions here, when in reality there are over 40. Is there a way to manually search for them? The reason why the others aren't showing up is because only those 3 are labeled as a "Domestic Division".

Kakidaniel Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 So I wanted to make a database in the swedish leagues where players actually leaves when their contracts ends - if it was officially communicated out they would. I could tick "Will leave at end of contract" as you can se in the picture down below BUT if the player has a contract that ends in the end of 2022 and you start 2023, the players contract will automatically extend by one year. When you play the swedish leagues you can chose if you want to begin in the 2022-season or the 2023-season. My alternative is to just terminate the contract of the player rather than use the below because it just doesnt work properly. The problem is that i wanted the database functional for the 2022-season also, so it doesnt matter if you start in 2022 or 2023 - the players will still be in the club under 2022 but leave in 2023.. Do you have any tips that could help me? Another problem is with the leaders - I cant set up a future transfer for them. The same idea applies here, a manager leaves for another club in 2023 but I still want them to coach the current club. There is a possibility to set up a future transfer for leaders but it just doesnt work - nothing happens in the game.,. Any tips here would also be great!

Hey, this has been flagged and the Dev's are aware of this. This is preventing me from starting a proper game as I have also changed a few things in the editor so far in terms of League names. So far, when I removed all of the 'Real Name' fixes, it appeared properly only AFTER I started the game (post manager creation stage). So, yeah. Hopefully soon there will be a patch or fix...

To do this, I’ve relegated a team from the worst playable division in my country, and assigned my team to that division, switching them to Semi-Pro as well. However, even though I’ve added a transfer budget (just to renew players’ contracts, as they are all at 0 - amateur), my wages bill is at 34£, and cannot be increased further, despite having a significant amount for transfers available. Is this some option that can be changed in the Editor, or will I have to manually insert the salaries of each player in the Editor? IIRC transfer budget, despite being set in the editor, when creating a new save, the game assign it (wage and transfer budget) taking account the team's reputation and the league's reputation, don't know if also take account the country's reputation. Also there is a % allowed to move from the transfer to the wage budget, and (IMHO). My suggestion is that you change the WB also and see what's happen.

Oggimon Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Is there any way to give teams the ability to have more regens from a certain country, or second nationality, at least? So, if I was to say do Sydney United 58, as it was in the older FMs, they have a very high chance of creating Australian Croats. First nationality was Aussie, second Croat = which I think was the most accurate. I believe one way around was to switch nation to the nation you wanted regens from, but then that team almost exclusively had single nationality from that country you chose, but made it very unrealistic. Is there a way to replicate the older FM Sydney United 58 regens style? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
