By default FM2014 doesn't use real players for the German National Team and instead uses fake players listed in grey. This guide will explain how to get German National Team to call up proper German Players rather than these fake grey players in Football Manager 2014.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2014\data\db\1400
And delete the folders called dbc, edt and Inc.
C:\Users\{{ your name }}\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\editor data
If the folder doesn't exist you can just create it.
Step One
First thing you need to is download the sortitoutsi Real Name Fix file. Just go to that link and click "Download" on the right hand side to begin.Step Two
Once it's downloaded you should be presented with a list of files as shown in the image below. You want to copy the three folders called dbc, edt and Inc to your clipboard (Ctrl+C).Step Three
Now go to this location:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2014\data\db\1400
And delete the folders called dbc, edt and Inc.
Step Four
Then paste the folders you just copied to your clipboard into the folder you just deleted the files from.Step Five
Now return to the file you just downloaded and open the folder called "Editor Data Files" and you should see these three files, copy all 3 to the clipboard:Step Six
Now paste those three files into this location:C:\Users\{{ your name }}\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\editor data
If the folder doesn't exist you can just create it.
Step Steven
You're all done. Not all the changes are save game compatible, such as some club name changes and the addition of media sources. If you add this file in the middle of a saved game and want the German national team fixed you will have to wait until the next instance that that national teams call up players.

what do you mean with the terms 'nomination' or 'instance' referring to when the German national teams will have active players? Perhaps you mean the next transfer window? Thanx a lot, I'm managing Schalke right now, and it's so frustrating not having the possibility to scout or sign young german talents!

You should have it. Screenshot where you think you are, so we can help you in case you have the wrong location.

If yes, check if there's a Steam folder in there...

This is odd. I never had this issue with FM13, which was installed etc exactly the same!

It's evidently somewhere.
Try searching your hard disk for euro test.dbc, for example. That's contained by default in the dbc folder...
