[Excel and the FM Editor - FM Editing]

Has anyone used this method to add players or clubs? If so, would that person mind sharing how they did it?

Thanks!

Yeah because they care only about money. Every year idiots (included me) buy 50% working game and we solve bugs until march. After that we have 3-4 months to play and all over again.

If i need to wait 30-35 days to get answer in bugs forum-i dont wanna buy this game every year. I will play fm17 next year also.

 

 

I'm still using FM14 and FM16, so there's that. I also prefer FM14 to FM16, despite the limitations.

Also, my annual request to either let us get rid of automatic second nationalities, like those on Caribbean islands that are still part of the overseas territories controlled by European nations, or give us a way to set what the automatic second nationalities are (none/England/France/whoever).

Also, I would really like a way to create new nations from scratch.

Lack of communication in editor bugs forum  - specially after july.

 

Every year we have this "problem". Lack of communication in this forum after august. I understand that you guys works on fm18 but we still have fm17 and we are trying to solve issues with it. Issues that will probably appear on fm18 too.

I reported 1 bug i will report 1 more later today (finances problem in lower leagues caused by unrealistic sponsorhip income) but problems here are complex often and we need communication with SI if we want to solve it.

Many of these bugs will be in FM18 and only way to prevent this is to communicate. By communication i mean aswers from somebody in some normal period - 3-5 days.

Sometimes we get first answer after 25 days, we respond to it and after that we have to wait again 10-15 days to next message from SI.

Like Matt Damon on Mars

Every year we failed to fix some major issues (that issues are here for several years now) because communication speed is slow.

IMO some change is needed here. 2 years ago we had chance to ask coders some questions. Maybe SI should make some testing team (like beta testers) who will be more involved in this.

SI - dont take this as an insult or anything similar. Im just trying to make things better with editor and this is only way i can do it.

This is one of the major flaws of the release-a-new-version-every-year model. It could be partially solved by going to a two-year upgrade cycle (i.e., FM 2018, FM 2020, FM 2022, etc.) instead of a one-year upgrade cycle. But that will never happen, obvs., lol.

Two things:

(1) Please stop making stuff hard-coded. Or at least make a note somewhere in the editor (or game documentation, if that's still a thing for modern games) of which competitions, etc. are hard-coded. It will save a lot of frustration.

(2) Make an easy way for me to change jersey numbers (i.e., squad numbers) in the in-game editor. If FMRTE can do it, so can the official in-game editor.

[FM 2017 in-game editor - new features]

Can I change squad numbers on other clubs with this year's version of the IGE? This is literally the only feature I care about because I hate it when players have stupid numbers.

your first point might be addressed under the info section of a nation there is an option ''does not allow dual nationality''

that covers a country not selecting players who qualify via second nationality. so do this to the countries you want it to relate to ie caribbean nations and holland etc etc

be interesting to see if it does the job

I tested out FM15 and it seems that that feature only prevents players from acquiring a second nationality. I'm not sure if it does what you said re: picking players with a second nationality.

In the Caribbean, the problem is that anyone who's decent will choose to represent the other country (i.e., England or Holland or France or the US, in the case of Puerto Rico) because it has a far better chance of actually making a World Cup. What I want to do is not give Caribbean players the option to have a second nationality so they have to represent the country of their birth. I realize this is a long shot since SI doesn't seem to care about anything other than UEFA, but I'll keep hammering on it, heh.

Another option would be to put 40 or so empty nations in the database. What I mean by that is that these would be nations that could be swapped into the game without having to touch other nations, like pre-1922 Ireland or West Germany or East Germany and so on. That way, I could just copy, say, the Cayman Islands data to this new empty nation and it wouldn't have an automatic second nationality. It's a roundabout way of solving a problem SI could fix by adding a tick box that says "Automatic second nationality yes/no", but I'm getting kinda desperate.

Interesting. Is that in the FM15 editor? I'm still working with FM14 as I'm currently waiting for FM16 to be released.

If that works, that'll be the solution to my biggest complaint. Everything else is just gravy after that, heh.

Some way to edit the automatic second nationality of nations. For example, some Caribbean nations get automatic English/Dutch/French second nationalities and if I make the Caribbean nation better, the best players will always declare for England/Holland/France. What I want is some way to prevent that from happening, without swapping in "empty" nations like the CIS or pre-1916 Ireland, etc.

The other option is to allow the creation of entirely new nations, similar to how entirely new cities can be created. With this particular issue, I think there were hard-coded issues in the past, though.

Another thing is to allow different numbers of teams in the various confederations. Currently, CONCACAF has 42 nations, but only 35 are full FIFA members. I'd like to be able to convert some of those non-FIFA members into full FIFA members without completely wrecking World Cup Qualifying. Of course, I'd also like to be able to edit World Cup Qualifying in a much easier fashion, but that's probably not high on the list of the priorities. On the other hand, it seems to me that being able to edit the second nationality would be very, very easy to implement.

Some way to get edit automatic second nationalities. They're infuriating if one is working with North America and, in particular, the Caribbean.
