New version of our data update, the most realistic ever: all players aged and contracts one year shorter

I'll likely tweak other leagues too yes, priority was the "big five" as that is where most of the money is which has a big impact on the big transfers AI will go for etc.

I found several problems with Sporting Squad in this new update, i don´t have any idea why.

1. In the update Bruno Fernandes has a future transfer to Sampdoria, but he is a new sign for Sporting.
2. In the update Daniel Podence and João Palhinha are loaned to Moreirense and Belenenses, but they stayed in Sporting Squad.
3. In the update Elias is still a Sporting player, but he moved to Atletico Mineiro (Brazil) last winter.
4. In the update João Pereira is still a Sporting player, but he moved to Trabzonspor (Turkey) last winter.

Are you going to finish editing the kit colours in the file?
You've got a bunch of teams half done. A bunch of clubs have one of their new kits added, but still have their old ones for the other two.
I've had to go through and delete as many as I could so they didn't override the changes made by SSKPC's.

Thanks to the work you do to make this game as real as possible!!

The update and any files I produce aren't, and never will be, intended to be compatible with any other files. I'm sorry if some changes I made to kits as and when I saw them come out haven't been completed to the standard you'd like them to be or they cause conflicts with other external add-ons but they are way down the list of priorities for any further additions to the update I'm afraid.

Perhaps next year the kits will be a optional separate file, but that won't be happening this year.

Are you using the latest version of the game on Steam? Sounds like you have either an outdated version or a crack.

Which file are the kits in? I have a method for extracting things into a separate file.

Hello,
In my game Sporting club de Bastia is in French National but should be in National 3.
French leagues 3 / 4 / 5 levels should be National 1 / 2 / 3 instead of National; CFA and CFA 2.
French National 1 is has only 17 teams due to the late sanction to SC Bastia put in National 3.
Will this be updated?
THanks for the amazing work !!!

I don't think they'll make a change for that. In 2016/17: Bastia finishs 20th in Ligue 1, then SPORTIVELY gets relegated in Ligue 2. The club has financial problems and fails the french football accounting control and gets ADMINISTRATIVELY relegated in National 1 (3rd league) and Paris FC gets promoted from National 1 to Ligue 2.

Bastia got bankrupt, turned amateur from professional and now plays in National 3 (CFA2, which is the 5th league).

As you can understand, the National 1 with 17 teams (instead of 18) is due to an EXCEPTIONAL event, and can't be replicated in game unless you go deeper in the league rules in the editor. How would it affect the relegations/promotions between the Ligue 2 / National 1 / National 2 / National 3 if you have 17 teams in a National 1 but want to go back to 18 for the following season?
I think you should leave it that way, or it will cause some difficulties.

This is correct, if I took Bastia out of the National the league will break due to not enough teams.

The update doesn't include changes to league structure.

Thanks for the feedback.
Regarding promotions / relegations, for season 2017/2018 only 3 teams from the National 1 will be relegated to National 2 while 4 teams from National 2 will be promoted (as usual) to come back to 18 teams the following year.
But if not possible to change league structure for just 1 season then I understand it's difficult to simulate.
The only issue is that the current player's list of Bastia does not really allow to do a good season in National 1 (I simulated 1 season and they finished 17th although media predicted 5th - I assume due to reputation).
I guess I can only wait for FM2018 to get this sorted !!

Thanks again!

Hi Guys,

First, thank you for your great work!
Quick question: which files should I select to modify (with FM editor) the following:

- players/staff transfers:
- club kits colours:
- club finance:

sorry for my ignorance
