This is the 1998/99 Database for Football Manager 2023.


Everything in this FM23 database has been reverted back to 1998. All the leagues are as they where back in 1998, with all the teams and players from back then. The player attributes is copied manually from the original Championship Manager 3 1998/99. So now you have the chance to manage all the legends from the late 90s, in the modern Football Manager match engine.
To get the full experience please read the instructions below.

ITALY - (Serie A + Serie B)
SPAIN (La Liga)

DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS

 

Save game file
The save game file has everything loaded, every playable league and all created players.
Move the file into the Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2023/Games folder
Run FM23 and go to Load game then select the 1998/99 DB file and you're good to go.

 

FMF Editor file
The fmf file can be opened with the editor or to setup a custom career.
Move the file into the Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2023 /Editor data folder.
When using the fmf file its important that you select the Football Manager 2023 23.0.0 database as it won't work properly with an updated FM database.
Tick 'The 1998/99 DB' box – Make sure no other editor data files are ticked!
Click Confirm and Choose Advanced Setup
Choose your preferred leagues out of the playable leagues.
Then press Approximate Player Count and choose ‘Advanced’
Select the nations you want to load players from besides the active leagues, to make sure that as many players as possible will be loaded.
tick the boxes saying Players Based in Nation – Even if your computer says that the number of players exeeds the recommended level it will only load the approximately 10.000 players which is created in the DB.
Finally, press Start Game and enjoy the nostalgia trip.


Hope you'll enjoy this classic database!

No matters what I do, I changed the database\db\2300\edt\permanent lots of times but all my regens are “new guys”, never the classic players. 

 

I change the support_staff with the 2.866 kb file, but no effect.

 

Any help?

They changed the old file (premium) with a new one of 2.866 kB.

 

The side effect is that doesn't works. At least for me. (edit: I talk about the regen).
