I suggest everybody clicks the "Notify me when updated" button to receive an email when the file is updated/amended in the future.
This file will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released and when the full game comes out to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMT or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2017 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players. These are fully save-game compatible.
There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

I installed the game and installed all the files as instructed above before starting a new game but german club names and spanish club names are incorrect. I am playing FMT so i dont know if that makes a difference.

How to make friends and influence people.
The guide is perfectly fine. I've followed this guide since FM14 and never had any issues either following it or getting the Real name fix to work

As indicated in the installation instruction, some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMT or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
I believe any editor data files will disable leader-boards, but I stand to be corrected. Not much else that can be done from my end, I'm afraid.
The game must be installed somewhere, so they're definitely somewhere on your system. Do a search on your hard-disk for files with extensions of .dbc or .lnc

I dont know (as you can understand) how i can download the files to my andoid tablet and copy paste them into the specific folders. Do i have to use specific app? Αny help would be greatly appreciated.
mons
This year, the Ballon d'Or won't be given by FIFA as has happened since 2009, and the previous FIFA award has been re-instated. This is the first one.
I have no idea where the world coach of the year can be found, sorry
The Brazilian fix doesn't work for existing save games, I'm afraid.
Thanks for this
Once you start a save game, any changes you make to editor data files are not taken into consideration in that save, so don't worry about that. I can't really help you much with android tablet file installation as I quite simply don't play the game in that manner
Smokeyhillstreet
I have tried the workaround in FMT and it doesn't change any of the club names. Also in notepad I had to replace #"CLUB not #CLUB although it didn't make any difference. Do you think there will be a solution for people playing FMT or will we be stuck with the fake names? Thanks for your help
iamsharkk
Hm, that sucks. Thanks for the reply.
waiyinc
mons
Can you send me the amended lnc file please? Because if you make the changes properly, I was under the impression they worked in FMT too. Also, did you put the same file in the 1700, 1701 AND 1710 lnc folders?
That's got nothing to do with this file, I'm afraid, since the only German club licensing restrictions in the game are related to the names and not to the players at German clubs. If you use a smaller database and/or don't have the German leagues loaded, then it stands to reason that reserve teams in Germany will not have any players loaded
wicksyFM
Mons. The FIFA World Player Award that is in the game never has a winner. I sent my manager on holiday for ten seasons and the award has never been won
mons
Then that is probably a bug in the game which will hopefully be fixed by SI in any upcoming patches.
wicksyFM
With your file i have a save with 4 world awards:
ballon d'or - only a winner is chosen, no 2nd or third place
fifa world team of the year - working as you would expect
fifa world player of the year - no player has ever won this award in game. last winner 2009
world soccer magazine player of the year - 1st 2nd and 3rd places
Without your file (vanilla version of game, no added files):
world golden ball (ballon d'or) - 1st, 2nd and 3rd places,
world team of the year (fifa world team of the year) - working as you would expect
word player of the year (world soccer magazine player of the year) - 1st, 2nd and 3rd places
In the vanilla version of the game there is only 3 world awards, your file has 4. The vanilla version has no award named FIFA World Player of the year.
I may be wrong here but your file seems to have added the FIFA World player of the year award which is not working correctly and changed the way the ballon d'or is ranked.
mons
I have not added any awards whatsoever to the game; all I did was rename awards already existing in the database through the lnc file
Thanks for bringing this up; I'll investigate this tonight when I'm at home and check what's wrong. Whatever it is, it should be save-compatible.
wicksyFM
No problem Mons. I hope that did not come across as criticism to your file. Just making you aware of what may be a slight issue
Just been on the SI Forums. The FIFA World Player of the Year award is not working the way it should and is under review
I removed the date the award is announced and now it is working fine
downloadkct
mons
Thought it'll likely be something from SI's side. Hopefully it'll be solved reasonably soon.
You seem to like experimenting with the game files, like I do

Okay, thanks for the reply. Anything to do with our notoriously stringent defamation laws by any chance?
mons
Thanks for this, I wasn't aware of it
Not really, it's just the case that the author wanted to retain the "rights" to the file and that he felt these would be lost if they were included as part of this download.
