This file will need to be re-applied if/when official patches/updates are released 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 the Beta, FM Touch 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 2019 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. These are all 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 Brazilian, 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. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. 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.


Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file

STEP 1.
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1910
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

Notes:
\Program Files (x86)\
could be
\Program Files\
depending on your set up.

Mac
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1900 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1910 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1930 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

You can find these folders by clicking, in the Finder, the Go menu in the menu bar, then choose Go to Folder and type the folder path name (obviously inserting your username), then click Go.

You can get to the Library folder by simply selecting Go from the top bar and holding "alt" key - The Library folder suddenly appears on the drop down

For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

For those struggling to find the Steam and Steam Apps folder etc using Mac with the new OS High Sierra, this link below shows how you can unhide your Library folder which will then let you find the other folders.

Slightly more detail in this post




OPEN
sdcard\Android\data\sportsinteractive.fm19\files\installed\data\\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

OPEN

DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders




OPEN
appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
sdcard\appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1910

OPEN
sdcard\appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders



STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and Inc folders from the downloaded pack

STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 1910 folders:

dbc/permanent: https://i.imgur.com/lozGizB.png
edt/permanent: https://i.imgur.com/duFkzcZ.png
lnc: https://i.imgur.com/luTKTAf.png

STEP 4:
COPY the 7 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack

STEP 5
PASTE to
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\editor data

\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\\GAMEPASS\editor data


This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.

https://i.imgur.com/LzSoAbJ.png




To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players are not in the official database and these will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.

Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.

For some reason it's not work in my case.

Here lines what I have add:

#"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 71075348 "FC Obolon-Brovar" ""
#"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 71075348 "Obolon" ""

But club name still stay the same, unreal Obolon-Brewer

That's because you're not removing the hashtag, as clearly explained in the instructions.

The hashtag makes the game ignore anything included after it in that line. Retaining it means that you're effectively ignoring your own changes.

If you have any changes you'd like to propose to be added to this fix (like the one above), it would be appreciated if you could post them here for future inclusion

I'm not exactly sure what I could do tbh

The editor data file is not language-specific so using it should theoretically fix the problem for you.

Looks lovely, but that'll inevitably open up a can of worms with regards to competition colours so I'll steer well clear.

Can you take screenshots of the screen you get just before you start a new game? i.e the one where the editor data files being loaded are clearly displayed. And also a screenshot of the Spanish teams' selection screen.

As can be seen in the screenshot for this download, those clubs' names are being changed so it must be something that you didn't do quite right, so it's now a matter of locating it.

Mons - I've fixed the issue in terms of the Spanish teams not being named correctly. I hadn't copied and pasted the files into the Editor Data folder correctly. Cheers

I'll have to check and see whether that one's along the same lines of the others in its country, but I've taken note of it and thanks

Edit: That's already their short name, why would it need to be changed?

I haven't had any issues at all with it. Starting a new game is extremely quick. And it's not broken in any way, shape or form, it's just that some users have issues with it lengthening the time it takes to start a new career. It doesn't affect your save game otherwise.

It's not something I would be able to fix as it's a problem with FM19 rather than this download. Hopefully SI issue a hotfix to sort this out.

v1.1 of this file has been released. Aside from a smattering of minor competition and nation name changes, mostly thanks to @MMXX and all the other contributors, the main addition is more Brazilian team colour changes.

Apart from the teams in the top 2 tiers, @tyrionn has edited the "colors for all teams in Brazilian Serie C and D as well as teams with 1k+ rep from the major state championships (Rio, Sao Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia, Pernambuco, Parana, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina)". This will mean that only very lower league clubs do not have the club colours on the main page matching those of their kit. This is a hard-coded licensing restriction which could only be changed manually.

More updates will follow in the coming days


Thanks for the work and effort, much appreciated!

Last year's fix for this issue only needed a dbc file to be removed. In order to change the text colours this year, I would have to go through all the clubs and manually match the kit colour to the text colour. As you can appreciate, this would take a considerable amount of time. If you, or anybody else, would like to edit the Susie Real Name Fixes - Brazilian kit colour changes.fmf file accordingly, then I'd happily add it to this download. It's something I plan to do in the near future, myself.

I've added links on sendspace and hostr

The dbc files provided by SI change Brazilian kits and other licensing issues. The edt files change the name of Bayern's manager and forces the game to choose certain players for the Dutch national team. The lnc files change Greek and Japanese club names.

The dbc and edt files in this download change the respective issues, while the lnc files in this download add the correct, licenced names for an enormous amount of awards, clubs, competitions and stadiums, as well as fixes some city and nation names.

Up to you which ones you want to use, naturally. But there's a reason why I include everything in the download year after year


thank you so much! love you to the moon :****

No real need, but you can move it there if you want to have your mind set at ease.

The Brazilian club's name and colour changes need you to start a new career to take effect, as indicated in the installation instructions. If they still display 3 letter names and/or wrong colours when you start a new career, then you have not installed this download correctly.

Hi, how are you? I'm a fan of Brazil and I'm sorry for my weak English. I'm using google translator.

I noticed that they updated the real names of the Brazilian clubs and I am really grateful for that, but I noticed that in the competitions the names are out of date the right name is: "Brasileirão ASSAI 2018" as pictured this the modification is perfect continue so
