TokeJ Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Im a young software developer who was thinking about making a football manager desktop application for personal use. For this I need the database, preferably in SQL or similar. Although, I'm having a bit of hassle: Where is the database for the game located on my hard drive? Thanks!

To be honest I don't really get it. Is it the SQL-part you don't agree with or the fact that I'm looking for the database? Please elaborate, I'm very curious. Is this your humble way of saying that the database is not available? Forget about the format, that doesn't matter at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The database is SI's pride and joy, the crown jewels, the heart and soul of FM. God knows how many man-hours are invested in there - multiple millions, I shouldn't wonder. One of the reasons that FM has no competition is that no-one has ever come close to reproducing the database. Is it reasonable to assume they'll hand it over to anyone who asks? Of course, if you own the game you already have access to all of the data; you just need to enter it manually into your own database. Might take a while...

Luckily for me, you don't have any idea what you are talking about! For your information,fm genie scout lets you export af csv-file of whatever you want. Thanks for nothing, sir, I hope Manchester suffers a nasty defeat tomorrow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
