F.A.Q. :

• Can I play with this update by creating a new game or in one of my existing savegame ?

No, it’s not possible. It’s not a database extension, it’s only a savegame. It was the only option available to have the real 23-men roster of the World Cup.

• Really, all the real players from the World Cup are in this savegame ?

There are only 4 players missing from the 736 real ones who are playing in Brazil : Edder Delgado & Juan Montes (Honduras) are replaced by Amado Guevara et Sergio Mendoza ; Sylvain Gbohouo (Ivory Coast) is replaced by Daniel Yeboah ; Cédric Djeugoue (Cameroun) is replaced by Benoît Angbwa.

• Can you choose your 23-men roster when you select your country ? Can you change one player in your 23-men roster ?

No you can’t. In order to have the real players, we have to select all of them for the 32 countries. So you can’t change one man without a real time editor.

• Are there known problems with this savegame ?

Unfortunetaly, there is one small issue that can’t be fixed because it’s linked with the FM gameplay : if one player is seriously injured during the World Cup, the manager can call a substitute. For example, if Valbuena is injured for France, Didier Deschamps can call Nasri or any other player. It’s something we can’t change. So some teams can be different at the end of the competition.
