You can start Football Manager 2018 on any date (such as todays date) with real life league tables.
Just go here to choose a date and download: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-start-date
Unfortunately cup results are not accurate and there is a bug where by cup progression can make a completed league game appear in the future, there isn't anything I can do about this at the moment from what I can tell.

haesung huh
But I don't understand what you mean in :Cup progressions, particularly the club world cup, may make completed fixtures appear in the future
Can you explain a little more?
Footygamer
Unfortunately the amount of work that would go into that is pretty insane, it would take alot of effort from alot of people
Look at Real Madrid, you'll see some of their fixtures are wrong because the club world cup comes in and the league games get moved. I haven't been able to fix that.
haesung huh
And by the way, I used the custom start date file for December 15th but the file only gives me December 11th.

What happens when it crashes? What date did you start on?
kfnielsen
I just stopped and give me an error and shuts down.
And I used the Monday 25 dec
I tryed with 18Dec and no problem there
SrWer
I started a save on 25-12-2017 and now this is giving me crash dumbs always the same day, I can not get past that day ..
what can I do?
SrWer
I think the problem is to start with the date 25-12-17 .. I'm having the same problem, it gets to day 3 and crash
SirTAVARES

SrWer

SrWer
It's ok.
To me it has been happening with England .. I had to see from December 18 to three is not with error, now to the front of day 18 is that it gives crash dumbs ..
Just to be referred to here as soon as there is time to fix ..

Sorry to be clear it may be the editor files themselves even if the league isn't loaded. Did you only include the England XML file or did you include all of them?
SrWer
I have included all that you mentioned:
England - Premier League
England - Sky Bet Championship
England - Sky Bet League One
England - Sky Bet League Two
France - Ligue 1 Conforama
France - Domino's Ligue 2
Germany - Fußball-Bundesliga
Germany - 2. Fußball-Bundesliga
The Netherlands - Eredivisie
Italy - Serie A TIM
Italy - Serie B ConTe.it
Portugal - Liga NOS
Spain - Liga Santander
Brazil - Campeonato Brasileiro Chevrolet Série A

That means that come summer 2018 budgets will be unaltered even for newly promoted sides.
Is there anyway around this or would I have to manually edit balance and transferbudgets?
Footygamer
Do they not open discussions on a new contract or anything like that?
Choccy18
That's right, I was unemployed. I should add I also had the FM18 Extra file and live update from here activated.
I ran the test till 26th of June last night and no budgets were updated for any clubs i checked.
From your answer I gather this isn't a common problem so I'll run a test with only the real results files and report back.
If it's only me experiencing this then it must something I'm doing wrong
EDIT:
Ran another test with only the real results active and the problem is the same. Man Utd has a budget of 42 M, City 62 M, i.e unchanged
Can't see that I'm doing anything else that is wrong so I suspect it has to do with the winter tranfer window.
Since these files worked fine on 18.0 (started in december) I can't understand what else would cause this.
Edit 2:
Tested again with startup 1/1-18 and now the budgets are updated in June.
Seems the winter transfer window might be the issue.

Hello,
I've been wondering if there is a way to add to the db results for european cup competitions (CL, EL, Supercup), world club cup...player of the year (ballon d'or), etc.?
Everytime i'm starting a new game I have to save before game to make the real result appear (not the actual score but the winners)...so for Champions League for example I have to save and go on holiday until it's like in real life (Real Madrid, Bayern, Liverpool, Roma in semis like in real life) and so on... Or maybe a tutorial on how to do this would be nice

Do a test, load with date after playoffs have commenced. Pick a Prem team i.e west ham and progress, i took over this team only to be switch to the EFL after game update date. Whatever you have done or not done in the XML its cocked it up. I dont mind results but to have multiple teams wrongly associated with a promotion or relegation /playoff is not good. I have 5 in auto promotion slots, 4 in playoffs, and 6 in relegation which clearly shows there is something wrong.
Also a word of advise, either sort it out or pull it until you have fixed it assuming you know how?
