ryan_sacfc Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi all, I was just wondering... I know that the word 'Premiership' is obviously copyright by (I think and assume) Barclays, but is the phrase 'Premier League' because I think it is a more commonly used name for the top tier of English football than 'Premier Division.' Could anyone enlighten me on whether 'Premier League' can be used by SI, and whether anyone else agrees with me in thinking that, if they can, SI should call it the 'Premier League' instead?

Neji Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Personally, I don't really see why it matters - you can change it's name in the editor anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Actually, it was decided the term Premiership would be ditched to avoid confusion or something (despite still being used), the actual term is Premier League I believe, the sponsors have the right to the league name so it will probably change slightly again in a few years.

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Premiership is no longer the official name. Premier League is so SI cannot use that name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Premier Division is lame. =\ I'd much rather Premiership, seeing as SI would be allowed to use that(I assume). Premier League, as stated, is officially in-use by Barclays at the moment... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenal_2111 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It takes a maximum of 5 minutes to edit the name, that includes turning on anf off your computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple 1 line text file created in notepad will do the job. Also there is a file for download that gives all the competitions in the game the official names and "fixes" all the other things omitted due to licensing issues. I cannot say anymore though on the forums. (I probably said too much already. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I download Skins/logos/ etc., but haven't bothered with editing anything, or changing names etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevicus Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Do a Google for it. Can't talk about it on the official forums. or you could try not editing the game? and just get on with it without moaning about a few letters that makes a league title different lol. and btw to the above reference to berty botts every flavour beans, im not sure jk rowling would let that happen, and england would be made a mockery of for having the top division named after a selection of fictional sweets, also they actually made them sweets a few years ago, but was dissapointed to see that there wasnt every flavour, i never came across salmon!
