How are the player stats generated? Randomly based on CA? Just noticed Beckham has Finishing 20, Larsson has Dribbling 19 but Finishing 13? Strength 10?

I got the stats from CM97/98, CM02/03 and CM03/04 databases. I thought too that 20 finishing was too much for Beckham, but since they gave Beckham a 20 shooting in every iteration I thought well they maybe know better so I went with it. Larsson had 13 finishing and 10 strength in CM97/98 so I thought maybe he still hadn't reached his peak.

Wonderful job. Do not stop!)
Where can I follow updates?

Although there is one problem - the League of Italy is currently unavailable for selection,
it is not important which base is chosen.

I will update the link and thread whenever I add a new league and fix this Italy problem that most people are having. Also I plan on exporting it to FM19 when I'm 100% with the database.
If you want to follow updates I guess you can follow a reddit thread that I made for the database on r/footballmanagergames .

When are you planning to release the finished version?

Unless something comes up, July 2019.

Edit: Something actually came up and I have been quite busy at work. My deadline will be pushed back until FM20 release at least. On the bright side, I can export the database to FM19 and 20 at the same time.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it. Download the .fm file from the thread as a workaround.

Thank you, this means a lot. You should also check the FM20 database, much more work went into it 😀

So to fix it, you just need to RE-ADD Ravenna U20 team to the 'Campionato Nazionale ‘Dante Berretti’ Girone D'

Sadly there is something wrong with the Database file, seems an incomplete version.

When I load it on the Editor, for example for FC Porto, only has 6 players. While when I load the Save game file, it the full team.
