As many of you, I'm sure, I've stuck with FM13 and I've been orphan of an updated database since LFCMarshall stopped them to focus on FM14. Since then, I've worked on his database to keep it up to date for FM13. It of course includes promotions, relegations, PA/CA changes, transfers, retirements, players/managers career plans, etc. Special thanks to LFCMarshall for his work and permission to share this database with you.

I'll keep updating the file regularly until at least FM15's release. If you have suggestions for me to implement, here's the thread:
http://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/11795/lonelyknights-summer-2014-update

Last updated: 26/07/2014

Known issues:
- Loans may still be in effect
- Minor leagues may not been updated. Only England, Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Portugal have been so far.
- League format changes haven't been implemented, as it is a real pain in the ass to edit (you basically have to redo all of the league rules from scratch). So, for example, there are still 20 teams in the National (French 3rd tier) instead of 18, which led to some teams being arbitrarily promoted.

Instructions:
- Download and extract the .rar to: Documents/Sports Interactive/FM13/editor data
- If there is no editor data folder, simply create one inside the FM13 folder.
- Once in game: Press new game, on the box that appears tick the little tick box bottom right to 'change' database - choose my update on the next screen.

Mac Users:
Download and place the files into: ( MAC already extracts the file automatically )
Macintosh HD/userss/Name.../Documents/ SI / FM13 /editor data... create a editor data folder if there is not one

Then Start a new game. a box will appear when you click new game. Bottom right of that is a change button. tick it and continue, Next screen tick "Summer 2014 Update"... Then continue as usual.

thanks so much! I've played a lot of both and fm2013 is just much more realistic in terms of the match engine! I'm coming back to it thanks to you!

love the update but for some reason you can't select the spanish or dutch leagues! I'm guessing you haven't changed the teams in there yet as both say there are not enough teams to start the league!

Are you using the update for FM14 or FM13? Should work fine on FM13 (as intended) but indeed, it causes this particular problem on FM14.

Also France is unplayable with FM14 if I recall correctly. Though if you're only interested in the Premier League or some others that still work, I guess you can use the update with FM14 too. I believe the problem comes from the change in league format in those countries from FM13 to FM14.

Well, that's weird then. Do you use any other database combined to this one? And do you use the SI 13.3.0 Update?

hello i've got two files and both are selected...one islonelyknight's Summer 2014 Update.xml and the other is Summer 2014 Update.xml and both are part of the download. I have no other update files. Should both be selected or just one?

Yep, there is your problem: "Summer 2014 Update.xml" is an old update, so using both makes it conflict. Delete the file, or at least use only the latest one.

I congratulate you. You did great, I have found nothing wrong. I finished the first season with PSG. Keep it up!

Thank you! Glad you enjoy!

In today's update, mostly some CA/PA changes that I felt were wrong. I hope it is still balanced.

ok so if i just use the summer 2014 update it works fine. The other file looks like it has more transfers so is probably newer and maybe has costa and cesc to chelsea etc? it does however crash fm2013 so isn't much good...is this correct? I'd love to start with a bang up to date db as per you images!

Well, let's make it simple: delete both files, then download the file again.

Otherwise, both of your files work individually fine with FM13, they only conflict if used simultaneously. Best is to have the newest file to have the newest transfers and modifications. So do what I said above and you'll have today's update.

no the newest file didn't work at all even on it's own...think I have found the problem and fixed it. A lot of files don't like when they have a ' in their name so I downloaded from a different source (not media fire so could be this too) but as soon as i removed the ' from the latest update in your user name it worked fine! Amazing work and worth the perseverance for me as sick of crap match engine in fm2104!

Good to know mate! It probably caused you a problem because you have a Mac, works fine on Windows. Anyway, I'll probably change the name of the file in the next update to avoid any problem of the kind. Thanks for letting me know!

PS : Costa is not yet at Chelsea in the update, as it hasn't been made official yet. But nothing prevents you from buying him, he has a reasonable release clause

Strange, but for some reason Leyton Orient are in the Championship on this update?
