Pindinho(: Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Is there a way you can set the nickname of the lub like you can with players, personally i dont mind the longer french names Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER_NUFC Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 no, dont think so. there is a way to do this but people wont say on here. Can they at least point us in the right direction? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Girondins Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 someone tried this with Paris (Saint-Germain) in fm 07 or 08 and it got quickly fixed back. Paris FC is not the same as P.S.G in my book. but then i am bias. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER_NUFC Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 it cant be an inc file you have to delete to get the real names because i have deleted them all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 it cant be an inc file you have to delete to get the real names because i have deleted them all i) They are their real names ii) you can't change them to be real names by deleting inc files, because they are already real names. iii) however you can change them to the fake names they are referred to by your favourite uneducated anglophile commentator by instead -creating- an .inc file.

phnompenhandy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 ^ No you can't. To the OP - the request is pretty insulting, if you think about it (as GavinZac recognises). If you're English or a fan of the EPL it would be like someone coming on here and asking to change those stupid team names to ' Liverpool Blue' or 'London White' etc. In your examples the city names are no more the names of the clubs than my examples here.

Kyno Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The thing I find annoying is the names usually are really long, fair enough. Then when you play a game, they only ever have initials. Fine for PSG, but RCS, ASSE, OL, OM, etc. is just silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I agree with Kyno. It's the abbreviations that annoy me. The full names are long because the game uses official names for all clubs where possible. But I wish, for example, it would abbreviate Olympique Lyonnais to Lyon instead of OL when abreviations are used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine for PSG, but RCS, ASSE, OL, OM, etc. is just silly. That's what they're known as in France. Different countries have different little cultures around their club and stadium names, and the British media can sometimes mangle them. Ask Sporting and their "Stadium of Light" or Shamrock Rovers who show up on Sky Sports as "Shamrock". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER_NUFC Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Right i understand WHY the team names are not like this. but would someone be able to tell me how i can change the shorter names of the french clubs to the correct ones. E.g. on fm the shorter name of Bordeux is "FC gourdinis bourdeux" but as we know this is the long name. My question is, how can we change/edit this to correct the shorther names. Iv'e been told the editor does not work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauvner Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 They are all the real French team names, its like calling Manchester United Manchester & then Manchester City Just Manchester also. if you dont like it im sure you can play in other leagues...
