changes.txt works or doesnt

Everytime I make changes to my changes.txt file and start a new game sometimes the changes are there ok but some of the changes already in my file now dont work . this happens quite alot its a hit or a miss , does anyone know why this is ?

have you changed the same player twice as this will be why as if player x signs for leeds from Cardiff then signs for Tottenham you would have to put Cardiff down still for it to work properly

Post your changes and we'll look at it

i have done everything right but it wont work even without the ones i have added and it still wont work

You have spelt championship wrong on direby. You also need to promote a team to the premiership from the championship so all the leagues have the correct amount of players.

it should say

"Coca-Cola Championship"

mine didnt do anything so i looked again and changed changes.txt to Changes.txt and it worked

Nice to see someone is still using my legends update. Changing the file name from a capital C to a lower case c or vice versa doesn't make a difference so you must have changed something else.

He must of changed the Championship thing 'cause that was what was wrong
