Spenno Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi all. One of the things I loved most about playing CM or FM was the ability to use fake names rather than real life players (not sure what the actual option is called). For the first season it would be obvious who was who, ie there'd be a giant Swedish centre-forward who was obviously Zlatan but as the seasons went on it would be creating completely new players. I'm trying to find out which later versions of the game have this option, as I picked up a few versions on Steam and they didn't. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federico Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This is available since ever I think! Just start a new savegame and thick this option on, which is present in the leagues selection screen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, been a long time since I got any version... The oldest version of FM I have on my Steam account is FM11 and that has the option for fake player names. I've also loaded CM 01/02 as that's also on my laptop and that also has a yes/no toggle for real players. So the option has certainly been there for at least 20 years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spenno Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thanks all. I couldn't see it in my last version I got on Steam to pass the hours during furlough/redundancy/lockdown. But I have a Mac now, and home working and looking for something to pass idle moments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a Mac now, and home working and looking for something to pass idle moments It'll be in the initial set up screen. It is usually a tick box for "use real players". Just untick that and it'll use fake names for the players in the database. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
