[[FM20] Adding media (nearly never used)]

Weird: Just found out that when I duplicated an existing media source (and did all the changes to the duplicate) THEN it worked, but not the one I just add normally. Anyone got any ideas? 

PS: Some news sources DO (very rarely) publish on new item from time to time, but very rarely. Instead fake news (generated?) are used. 

Also related question: Any way to change the name of these generated newspapers? Like ETD/LNC editing or something?

[[FM20] Adding media (nearly never used)]

To add: Sources like The Athletic, Whoscored.com, GOAL, 90min.com, Planet Football and Football Radar are very interested in norwegian football for some reason, but the newspapers I have added... Some of them have a news item from time to time, some don't.

[[FM20] Adding media (nearly never used)]

For instance, a regional newspaper:
1) Details: I add normal details like name, period etc.
2) Areas Covered: I add nation, local region - it did not seems to be used, so I also added continent - still, newspaper doesn't seem to be used

A local newspaper
1)  Areas Covered: At first I add just city, then add nation and now also continent... Doesn't seem to be used. 

 

[[FM20] Adding media (nearly never used)]

I have spent quite some time and added a lot of media sources in Norway. However, they nearly never get used (some never, some only a few times). But sources like The Athletic, WhoScored.com, Goal, 90min.com, Planet Football, Football Radar are all very interested in Norwegian football...

Do I have to add norwegian clubs to every media source as well?

I have added both national, regional and local media sources.

From my experience, location of last file you've loaded is default 'saving' location. 

Just tested... Sadly, not working. It still opens the default folder for me. 

[Change user data location...]

Hi, I managed to change this easily for the game itself, but not so for the editor and I have to move files manually if I wan't to use them in the game:

--user_data_location="D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2019\userdata"

Anyone knows if it have to be written otherwise for the editor?

[American Football Returns]

Sigames should make an (American) Football game too... If it is about licensing and stuff, just use "fake" nicknames and stuff and let users edit that out with an included editor. Would absolutely love it, as these are my two favorite sports. Would have to have College included too in my opinion. 

Great read!

[13 suggestions (mostly editor, but also some for the game)]

Here is a couple of suggestions, most for the editor, but some for the game itself:

1. Ability to add more (no limit perhaps) Reserve/U-teams for a club. For instance trying to recreate a lower division in Norway, some teams have way more than one reserve team, and will still have U19 team at the same time. I work around that by creating a seperate team  though and using the affiliate solution. But would be great if it was possible to add more in the same club.
2. Ability to in the editor, add U16 teams and create a league for that - no need to be included by default though. But would be nice to have the opportunity. 
   1. Nevertheless - U17 championships (UEFA/FIFA) could still be included in the game. Could fill up some nations with grey players, but playable nations will have enough players to fill squads here anyway. 
3. Stadiums: More options. Many teams in the lower leagues don't have stands for instance. Some don't even have lights. (Depending on how low). Perhaps a few options on what the surrounding area should then look like: urban, rural etc. Perhaps even visible (generated) in the editor. Some have stands on just one side, perhaps only a small stand that don't fill the entire side.
4. An option to generate "regen" faces for "blank" ones (ie. those that don't have images) - doesn't matter if they don't resemble the real person, would just be fun having the option.
5. In the match view - the logos should be bigger, especially at the end of the match review for instance. Or during the game. Also, where is attendance? This should be clearly visible. 
6. An option to disable fake crests. I worked it out, but this should be easier and should be as easy as doing it with settings. The game was just unplayable for me before doing so. 
7. In the editor when creating a club, being (easier) able to create an "immigrant" club or similar. Perhaps not only limited to one nation, but being able to select several. 
8. In the editor: Being able to edit the name pool - I remember (perhaps way back in the days) it was possible before. 97/98 or something. But it was possible. 
9. In the editor: Add regions - can't understand why it is not there. I can understand that you cannot create nations, but regions should be possible to create.
10. Regions, Cities, Nations:
    1. Being able to set what type of regens (dual nationalities, language) will be created. I would for instance love to see "sami language" included. And then sami surnames would be better generated for clubs in that region.
11. In the editor: Being able to select more colums, like club long name, club short name, club nickname etc. I was able to do this with the use of an XML in an earlier version. But haven't figured out how to do it now. If it at all is possible. 
12. In the editor: Being easier to create dynamic relegations for regional leagues. 
13. In the editor: This might be a big one... But being able to import csv to the data. Could and should perhaps be a template for each different type of item: Clubs, Awards, Cities, Competitions, People etc. And when importing, having the option to overwrite something that is identical, create new for new items etc.
