This `s my first ever to play football manager, after installing FM2014, I chose Arsenal, but the players` name of the senior squad (1st team) are all fake... why could that happen? How to fix that? Do I need to install any additional pack or something?

Also, is it recommended to install all the Essential Updates (from FM14 Real Name Fix to Manager Stats) in order to get the best experience of real-life football?

Thank you.

Did you select "use fake names" when selecting the leagues you wanted to load?

Are you playing a torrent version or a proper version? No players (apart from the Germany squad) should be fake.

Or another thing, when starting a new save, did you accidentally tick 'use fake players'?

Thank you!! It seems that I selected `use fake players` in the advanced option. Let me try it out after work.

Also, is it better to install everything in the Essential Updates?

I`m playing a steam version. All is fixed after not ticking `use fake players`. Thank you!
I also selected `Disable First Window Transfer Budgets` , `Disable Player Attribute Masking` in the advanced option, is it better not to tick it for a beginner??

The first is on your preference, but I strongly recommend the second to make the game experience better.
