By default FM2014 doesn't use real players for the German National Team and instead uses fake players listed in grey. This guide will explain how to get German National Team to call up proper German Players rather than these fake grey players in Football Manager 2014.

Step One

First thing you need to is download the sortitoutsi Real Name Fix file. Just go to that link and click "Download" on the right hand side to begin.

Step Two

Once it's downloaded you should be presented with a list of files as shown in the image below. You want to copy the three folders called dbc, edt and Inc to your clipboard (Ctrl+C).

Step Three

Now go to this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2014\data\db\1400

And delete the folders called dbc, edt and Inc.

Step Four

Then paste the folders you just copied to your clipboard into the folder you just deleted the files from.

Step Five

Now return to the file you just downloaded and open the folder called "Editor Data Files" and you should see these three files, copy all 3 to the clipboard:

Step Six

Now paste those three files into this location:

C:\Users\{{ your name }}\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\editor data

If the folder doesn't exist you can just create it.

Step Steven

You're all done. Not all the changes are save game compatible, such as some club name changes and the addition of media sources. If you add this file in the middle of a saved game and want the German national team fixed you will have to wait until the next instance that that national teams call up players.

@mons @chewy92 in Steam, go to Library --> right click on "Football Manager 2014" in the left hand side window --> click on "Properties" --> click on "Local Files" tab --> click on "Browse Local Files".

This will tell you exactly where your game is installed.

Have you made sure you have deleted them from the 1430 folder also?
