Popular Post CFuller Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Returning in time for the full release of FM21, ITCH might just be for you if you love managing in international football, or even if you merely like having accurate national team histories. This file gives every national team in FM21 complete histories from various tournaments. Using Wikipedia and RSSSF for reference, I have added data for all the qualifying and final stages of World Cups and continental championships, plus other in-game competitions such as the Confederations Cup. My update is designed to be as CORRECT, COMPLETE, and CONSISTENT as possible. I have completely erased all national team histories from the database and inserted my own data for every country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. This means that my file will be compatible with the original FM21 database, as well as any future updated databases. I created ITCH after becoming appalled at the standard of national team history data in the original database. While the histories for some countries like England were fairly accurate, the histories for other countries like Spain were badly lacking, while many did not have any history at all. For example, some nations that had previously qualified for World Cups were not shown as having done so. This update rectifies such errors and omissions. I am also delighted to reveal my new ETCH and SATCH updates, which make their debuts in FM21 and add full continental competition histories to clubs in Europe and South America respectively. ETCH adds data for all the qualifying and final stages of every official UEFA club competition since 1955, including the Champions League and the Europa League. SATCH adds data for all the qualifying and final stages of every official CONMEBOL club competition since 1960, including the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana. I hope you enjoy using these files as much as I enjoyed creating them. I would also like to thank @magicmastermind124, without whose help the creations of these databases would have taken much longer than they did. SAMPLE IMAGES ITCH - Canada / Argentina / Portugal / Ghana / South Korea / Solomon Islands ETCH - Bayern Munich / Aberdeen / Birmingham / Lech Poznan / Auxerre SATCH - Atlético Mineiro / Universidad Católica / Millonarios / Independiente / Penarol QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q. How many changes have you made to the database? A. Around 50,000 on ITCH, 80,000 on ETCH, and 18,000 on SATCH. Q. Why is there no data for the Olympic Games on ITCH? A. The Olympic Games is an age-group tournament, and I cannot add past tournament data specifically for age-group teams. Only a small number of national teams had histories for such tournaments, so I decided to remove those from the database. Q. Why is there no data for the first seasons of the UEFA Nations League and the CONCACAF Nations League on ITCH? A. When FM21 records new tournament histories for the Nations Leagues, it records the finishing position and the group number, but not the division. I have reported this bug to Sports Interactive and they have logged it as a bug. Until the bug is fixed, I will not include any data from the 2018/2019 UEFA Nations League or the 2019/2020 CONCACAF Nations League in this update. Q. I have started a new save game with your ETCH and SATCH updates and I cannot find continental competition histories for clubs in certain countries. Why? A. When Football Manager creates a new save game, it will only load changes for clubs in the nation(s) that you have loaded. For example, if you load just the English leagues, FM will only load full continental histories for English clubs. It also means that you'll need to install custom leagues to see complete histories for clubs based in nations such as Cyprus and Lithuania, which don't have leagues in the original database. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about this. Q. Will these be compatible with other files? A. ITCH, ETCH and SATCH are all confirmed to be compatible with one another. I am also confident that they won't clash clash with any other files that DO NOT also edit national team or club history data. Q. I've noticed a mistake or a discrepancy in one of your files. What should I do? A. You can either leave a reply in this thread or contact me via PM. If I have made any errors, I will look to rectify them and bring out a new version of the relevant update in due course.

Ivs Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 @CFuller I noticed that Slavia Sofia have two entries for 2018-19 season. In one of them you wrongly set they reached UEFA Europa League quarter-finals against Chelsea. Probably a small mistake caused by Slavia Prague.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into this and get it fixed tomorrow. Am I right in thinking that I can't automatically update Steam Workshop files, and that I'd have to upload a brand new file?

Another one for you, @CFuller: Kilmarnock have two entries for 2019-20 season. The first one is correct because they were eliminated by Connah's Quay in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. However, the latter is wrong: Luzern eliminated KI Klaksvik in the second qualifying round, not Kilmarnock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them coming, and I'll make sure they're fixed for the next update. I don't know when that'll be yet, since you can't update Steam Workshop files at the moment.

Report it to SI if you can;t do it, you should be able to update files through the Editor. Also top work as always, this constitutes one of the must have files. I love seeing the additional history and especially this far back too! Incredible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I've spotted another mistake - in one of my example screenshots, no less. Bayern Munich have two entries for the 2013/2014 Champions League. The one where they lost to PSG in the Last 16 should come under Bayer Leverkusen. Excel's autofill feature is both a blessing and a curse, so I'm not surprised a few of these have slipped through. I'll be sure to double-check the European data and correct any other mistakes for the next update. EDIT: Found ~40 mistakes in ETCH tonight - all now corrected. That's quite a lot, so I might just upload a brand new file over the weekend. Edited November 28, 2020 by CFuller 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I've fixed several mistakes in the databases and uploaded new versions of these updates. Right now, these new versions are available only on MEGA. We still have no idea whether SI will fix the bug that stops you updating Steam Workshop files. I'll give it another week or two, and if there's still no news on that, I will upload new files onto the Workshop.

The clubs affected are mainly those with similar names. Like I said, autocorrect on Excel is both a huge help and a huge hindrance. To give a few examples, I had some Bayer Leverkusen entries down under Bayern Munich, Sparta Prague and Slavia Prague got mixed up a couple of times, and Kilmarnock had an entry that was supposed to be for the Faroese club KÍ.

CFuller Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Just a heads-up. SI are aware of the Steam Workshop update bug, though this sadly hasn't been fixed in the major patch that went out tonight. Because of this, I have decided to upload the latest versions of ITCH, ETCH and SATCH onto the Steam Workshop, and they will go public tomorrow morning.
