still have to go in and manually change all the other ones that don't have 200…will take ages for me as i've got just over 180k regens in my save….hopefully someone who does coding for newgan will be able to do a work around for it

This is perfect but one thing to make sure everything gets changed which worked with me is
FIND WHAT REPLACE WITH:
/person/1 /person/r-1
/person/2 /person/r-2
/person/3 /person/r-3
/person/4
/person/5
/person/6
/person/7
/person/8
/person/9
You get the memo, make sure to click replace all, do this 9 times for each digit 1-9, all my faces are back now.

For the first time i play this game, as a journey man,this is the first time my job apply always unsuccessful with this middle setting for a team, with higher adatability skill, continental badge, profesional region level experience, even for team like Le Mans who play in division 3 and Stevenage in league one, i always got rejected.. in the previous vesion, i can manage championship team or the lower level of premier league team with this coach attribute and settings..
whocaresijustwantfreestuff
Yup. It's only my kits during the game, they're still ok on all other screens and menu's
edit*
I removed my teams kit's from the graphics folder, then reset cache. Put team kits back in graphics folder, rest cache again… Sorted

hello my turkish brother, I found the ID of my face and used it on a config file and now have an image for my profile, love from greece

Oh well, at least Si is back to consistent. Thinking with FM23, we'd seen for the last time, every major update managing to break other areas of the game. Now it's back with a vengeance ! The newgens not working for one and no way from the settings to add a manager picture. The workaround for both is adding "r-" in the config file to each player and manager pic. Also all players in the game have the wrong hairstyles, hair colours and skin colour. You can change the hair colour and style with the IGE, which you have to pay for but not skin colour. To do that you need a more in depth editor, like FMRTE, which you also have to pay for. Surely, some at Si HQ run the modified game before release ?? If that's the case, why are such errors not reported to those that certify such a release to us players ???
P.S. I've posted this exact same comment on the Si forum, let's see what they have to see, if at all.
Jakeeeeee
surely just do find: person/ and replace with: person/r-
only have to do it once then 🙂

Well said mate

SI really need to up their game

After this patch release I have issues with my online save.
My brother and I play an online save, let's say He Won 4-1, but on my side He won 1-0.
I watch his game and the actions/results are not matching at all.
How can this be fix?

i cant get my profile pic now either, really hope they get this fixed quickly, very disappointed.

If you have not seen this Yes. The code has removed and the old code doesn't work. So, for use a own manager profile picture you will have to add your own picture to the "player picture folder" with the ID of you as a manager. According an explanation in Skinning Hodeout forum, since FM 24.2 a manager is considered a "regen" picture. you will need to add "-r" to the code. So if your ID# is for example: "2002117708" the code in the config.xml in the player pictures folder will need to show: <record from="r-2002117708" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002117708/portrait"/>
