This file is intended for version 14.3.0 of FM14, and will need to be re-applied if/when 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 re-installed when patches come out.

The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 14 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These are 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 Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 23 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. It also includes a small file to correct some incorrect national kit colours and ones whose kits were not displaying. 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 these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical, although of course you use the equivalent folder for FM14.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2014 \ data \ db \ 1430 
Mac
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2014 \ Data \ db \ 1430
Linux
/home/user/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Football Manager 2014/data/db/1430/

Please note that the Local folder is hidden. Press (ctrl + h)
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2014
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy everything from the folder in step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

sorry for the questions and for my bad english but i hope you understand :-) why did when i play the match and i see it, club like inter,juventus,psg,real M have something like sponsors on kit.. and the game is more real! team as schalke,bayern,benfica have no kit sponsor and play with custom kit (just red, or blue to example). i have believed the file in this download (sponsors kit.dbc) resolved this problem but nothing.. :-( anyone can help me please? thx

That's got nothing to do with this file. What you need to do is find the 3D kits forum and download the relevant files




Mons,

Why is always at FM the dutch national squad coach called Jan Janssen?

Everybody knows its Louis van Gaal.

Do you have an update for it?


It'll be added in any future patch. In the meantime, add the below into your Competitions and other fixes.lnc file using Notepad


"CHANGE_PLAYER_NAME"	4200588	"Louis" "" "van Gaal"
Hello, i have an official version from steam for my mac. all names are changed correctly but the German National Team is still fake.

i would be grateful for any help.

erwin

Did you add this patch in the middle of a save game? If yes, you have to wait till the next time the German national team calls up players.

I already waited for the Germany Squad to announce but its still fake players. Joachim Löw is trainer and all League Names are correct. I dont get it.

i think that it's enough to delete the LNCs the game added, the rest seems the same.

What cachirro says is basically correct. Just delete the all folder within the lnc folder and you should be fine.

I'll upload a new version in the next day or so, anyway, including all the changes proposed in here and a few others which I've added myself

The latest release is now out.

From now on, whoever asks for assistance with fake players will immediately be banned, not that they'll read it...

I think the best course of action when there is a patch and the fantastic mons has updated the fix between patches is to download the files again and repeat the process that everything will be correct.

Hello,

I can't seem to locate Steam in Application Support of the following path

USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2014 \ Data \ db \ 1400

I searched for the that file you mentioned a few pages back and it only leads me to your file I've downloaded aha. Any ideas? It's a purchased copy of FM14 that runs via Steam so I have no idea why it isn't showing up.

Do i need to delete some of the info from the previous fixes? For example I now have Club Name Changes.dbc, Club Name Changes_Met Logos Edit.dbc and Club Name Changes_V5.dbc

Should they all still be there or shall I empty my editor data folder and just put in the latest version?

Cheers guys

Hmm, worked on the first game I tried it on, not on the new one after the patch - I don't undestand why. but maybe it will fix itself with time...
