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...

Yup, perhaps my little crumb to add. I removed all the "Real Name' stuff (havent tested which one is the correct one), and the league name changes I made through the editor show AFTER the game is started. The coded names are left there when choosing a manager. SOOO, it reads it IN THE GAME AFTER THE GAME IS STARTED, but not during the initial setup after you have chosen your leagues. This is very annoying. I dont want to ruin my whole game for the sake of fake names, and vice versa. Will there be some update on this soon?

Ok, so, part of the issue is the 'Real Name Fix'. I have edited league names for several leagues now, and unticking the 'Real names' leaves the editor created names. Ticking yes to the Real Names reverts it to the default 'database' ones. So, my question: is there a way to change the DATABASE names so they reflect reality? I mean, the league I am looking at is a mixture between 2021/2022 season and marginally the basics of the 2022/2023 season. Can this be done?? Or is this hard coded into the game? Thanks

Ok, I have made some great advancements so far. However, one thing that is eluding me is how do I change the Qualification rules for a top division? I am trying to add the Egyptian Div1 and Div2, but I seem to not have the Continental qualifications right (I assume they have been left as automatic, and are incorrect). Thanks

I officially feel dumber than a door knob. Thank you for illuminating my stupidity :-D Do I delete this thread to save myself more embarrassment? Haha

Hi all, Either my editor is faulty or I may have lost my remaining 2 IQ points. I am trying to put the Egyptian Leagues into the game and playable. I go into Add Nation Rules. I add Egypt and this is all I get back. I cannot edit anything beyond this. Is there a trick I am missing (I used to edit on the FM17 but either the system is way more complicated or the system is faulty. Thanks

Hi, I tried this, and it reverts to the old name despite loading a 'verified' version of the new name. Thanks. Hoping for a quick fix. Cheers

Im glad this is here. I have been trying to change a League name to reflect the 2023 version (in Croatia, being Druga Nogometna Liga - in the game it is Treca Hrvatska Liga which is the 2021/2022 version of the league structure which has changed since and wasnt updated by the lazy database). I had the league verified using the tester, all good until adding the league at Advanced Start. I start the game, and boom, it has reverted back to Treca Hrvatska Liga....

Out of interest, what are you planning to do? I was going to create a full system from HNL to 1. Zupanijske Lige (which, I believe is Tier6). I have started a process of checking for all clubs and it gets a bit inaccurate at Tier5 and 6, Not sure if I can be bothered creating all of those extra clubs for the sake of accuracy. My question to you, how do you go about dealing with accuracy in promotion and relegation. Hrvatska is pretty useless and corrupt at the best of times in footy (Inter Zapresic, NK Zadar to HNK Zadar), so, half the time, promotion is based on funds and finances IRL. Do you create any measures around that, or just do a naturally up and down promo relegation system? Thanks.

What does researching entail, what timing is expected, and are any of you employed in other work, or is this your main source of income? Cheers

Yes, I am impressed with some of this detail. But I have also noticed that the teams in question, especially once we get to the Prvu Zupanijsku ligu, the detail begins to veer off 2023 and it is, in fact, 2021/2022 information. (each Zupanijska liga is missing several 2022/2023 teams, but have the teams from 2021/2022 teams included). I was just checking out the teams in Austria and cannot believe that they have like 800 (obvious exaggeration for effect :-) ) teams in their database. I doubt that Austria has that many active real game teams. Now, I am very happy with the progress taking place with the teams from Hrvatske, but I am a little disappointed at how much I might need to do in the editor :-). Oh well, like I said, it is a minor thing, not a major. The platform for me to work from is already awesome to begin with, so, adding a few teams shouldnt be an issue. Hvala.

So, it is still not possible for me to choose a random team when creating a manager: So, I attempted Arbanasi from Croatia, which IS in the database. But nothing comes up. As I said, this was a feature that was possible in FM17. Thanks

Here is another example of the issue, but in another slightly different form. After looking more into it, it is only to do with Chinese players. The only pattern so far is they have a Chinese passport (their other nationality, whether first or second, disappears.

Yeah, the intelligence of the game to read 'changes' was terrible a few years ago. The last version I bought was FM17. Had my second division team playing in Europa (won domestic cup). All I could get is an increase of around 1000 people coming to some games. I mean, a second division team in the Europa League, from a small club nation would have been the talk of the town, but there were no indicators. I assume the typical mode is most people play with the big clubs, so the focus is there, but as original OP wrote, the AI is near non-existent. I also managed a second division team in France. Took them when they were mid table and won the league by a single point on the last day. Half of my team were angry at me that I didn't manage to win promotion. It was like, ummmmmm, we just won the league 3 days ago and we all had a press conference about it! How did you forget about this! :-D And even so, still my favourite game. Haha

I think this is how it is written in Serbo-Croat as nouns don't play the same role as they do in English. I would ask the Serbian community which is appropriate, but as the speaker of both Serbo-Croat and English, this being a game in English should use English noun structure and thus, 'Crvena Zvezda'. Just my opinion.
