Hi

I've just installed the update for the first time in FM17 and the changes look great.

Just a quick question; historically i've made my own stat edits by duplicating data from the most up to date version of FM (so having both editors open at the same time and replicating stats across by hand).

My question is are the player stats, CAs, PAs etc updated in the sortitout update? If not can I still do this myself by opening the fmf files in the editor?

When I had a look just now none of the visible files seemed to bring in the player changesinto the editor, so am guessing these are in the live update xml file?

I guess i'd just like to make sure players like Salah, and wonderkids like Sancho are accurate up to the most recent update.

That's also what I was wondering about. I just downloaded the data update and moved into editor data folder. When I try to create a new career, it works all fine. I can see all the player updates. However when I want to edit in FM Editor, I can't see any of the updates. I am wondering if is there any possibility to edit the data update in FM Editor.

I was wondering the same. I was hoping to edit the data further, boost some finances (in an unrealistic way), etc..

you can add/edit what you want to in this file but once you do when you save changes it will generated a new file

much better to create different files to run alongside them
one with finance changes to clubs/player stats etc keep them seperate as using one file with all changes is not a good idea

and for those saying they cant see the file/s in FM editor you have to use the import option as these files are .xml

kingrobba, you really are the king! Import was the thing I've been looking for. I just tried it and it worked out flawlessly. You saved a lot of hours of my life, lol. Thank you so much. Because there are things that bugs me in the data update that needs to be updated. I will wait until the end of transfer season end then make the final touches before starting the game. Such as players were on loan in FM 2017 are still on loan in same teams. Jack Wilshere per se. And some players abilities are drastically changed during past 2 years. Mbappe is still not as powerful as it's supposed to be. And also there are relegated and promoted teams that are not updated. Few more things along with these. Thanks a lot again mate. Cheers!

no problem mate

we have all been there its usually something really simple

it may interest you I do the same wait until window closes then tweak a few things I will start game in May 2018 so squads as per now (transfer ban on first window so clubs have to go as is) but my bug bear is this great update puts changes as if game starts 2017, so I will mass edit all loans to finish 2019 rather than 2018 so players will be on loan at the right clubs in 18/19

HOW DO EDIT THE PROMOTIONS AND RELAGATIONS? IS THERE ANY DATA UPDATE MODS AVAILABLE FOR THAT?
