Yeah there will be. I am going to put one out with the updated FIFA Rankings when they get published on the 20th.

Maybe there's a different suffix for the national team balls…. e.g. nation/<uid>/balls or balls/<uid>/nation or something like that

@BabaYaga89 I was looking at the config for nation balls (e.g. Argentina, Mexico etc.) - How does this differentiate between a competition with the same UID as the nation because the paths look identical?

e.g. this:

                <record from="NAT-japan" to="graphics/pictures/balls/116/default"/>

would technically point to the Campeonato Piauiense Sub-20 which is the competition with the UID 116

or am I being dense and missing something?

Fair enough. To be fair I've not jumped in-game for a while so my bad

Didn't Sports Interactive said in a post that due to licensing there'd be no pictures

https://community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/601503-international-management-faq/

So I'm basically wondering if this or something like this can be used to circumvent that? I mean if it's already been resolved disregard the comment, but it was just a thought I had working on my own projects.

Hey @Matt quick question about this sort of thing - do you think this could be expanded to get around the licensing issues with national team managers etc. where no pictures show? 

This is a great addition btw, but I thought if anyone would have a remote idea about it it would probably be you

What are you specifically looking for? Gazza generally in the game like as a scout/coach, Gazza as a player (younger obviously) - if you want the player, retro databases are your best bet from the years he was active. If you want him as a coach etc I'd look in and around 2005 when he was briefly at Kettering

FM Auto Editor. It's a mod on the Sports Interactive page. It needs some adjustment to get it to work properly but does exactly that

Olá! Só queria dizer que essa é uma ideia muito boa. Combina perfeitamente com a estética das ferramentas modernas de análise de futebol, e transformar a tela de análise de passes em um mapa de calor é uma forma muito limpa e intuitiva de apresentar os dados.

Só um toque: como este é um fórum em inglês, é bem provável que os administradores peçam para que você faça a publicação em inglês. Não tem problema manter a versão em português também — basta incluir uma tradução para o inglês no corpo principal do post para que todo mundo possa entender.

Acho que o pessoal vai gostar bastante da ideia assim que conseguir ler sobre ela. Boa sorte com o projeto!

Hi! I just wanted to say this is a really good idea. It fits the aesthetic of modern football analytics tools really well, and turning the passing analysis screen into a heatmap is a very clean and intuitive way to present the data.

Just a quick heads-up though: this is primarily an English-speaking forum, so the moderators will likely ask you to post in English. It's absolutely fine to keep the Portuguese version as well—you'll just need to include an English translation in the main body of your post so everyone can understand it.

I think people will appreciate the concept once they can read about it. Good luck with the project!

If anyone can do it I genuinely believe it's you. My speciality is data otherwise I'd contribute something more meaningful. Honestly though, the kind of stuff you're pulling here is unreal. I miss having FLUTskin from FM24…. Give it time I bet you'll crack that as well lol. Seriously, keep up the good work my friend

As a genuine curiosity (and perhaps as the next evolution of this) do you think there'll ever be a way to get 2D GK kits showing in the club menu too?

@BassyBoyYT they need to start putting your face on money

Are your under 18s in a competition? 

There's always the possibility it's hardcoded. I mean if I had it my way I'd start a development club in career mode (similar to II teams or Watford Developmental in the women's game) but yeah. If they're in any competitions try removing them, otherwise it's probably hardcoded

@Footygamer 

I sorted the main bit. I just needed the DB files that had the winter update. (1220) I don't think there's much change in any of the other update versions that came with it.

I'll do one in time for the next major update on the 26th

Update out now

If they edit the same competition data you can't use two files. The only way around it is creating a new .fmf file and essentially copying absolutely everything you want to use other to the new file. So pick one version of the first three divisions, and then take whatever else you want to take, but beware if both include created assets (clubs etc.) UIDs won't line up

Do you have the actual torrent file? I've got premium on here so it's just instant download but I'll download the torrent if you can link me?

Oh actually yes it does make sense

Regular portrait, icon and @2x icon

TBF I've never done the torrent, only direct link so that's pretty interesting.

1.8m? O.o

Goalkeeper kits are coded differently in-game. It's stupid, but it's also why none of the kitpacks include them

I’m currently working on a large-scale Football Manager data and preservation project. I’ve managed to curate most of the historical data I need, but the one thing I’m struggling to find is the FM12 winter update database (12.2.0).

Unfortunately I only started playing FM properly around FM24, so I don’t personally have access to older patched installs through Steam.

To be clear, I’m not asking for a copy of the game or anything piracy-related — I’m specifically trying to locate the relevant editor/database files for research and archival purposes as part of the project.

If anyone happens to still have an old FM12 installation with the 12.2.0 winter update installed, or happens to have archived the relevant data files, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

Admins: if this type of post isn’t allowed, please feel free to remove it and I apologise in advance.

Thanks!

Resolved and no longer required. Thank you

@Footygamer got a couple of bots

I know some people still play the older FM Games for nostalgia and things like that. I am just wondering if there's anyone here specifically that still plays FM12 or FM16?

22/4/2026 - Women's FIFA Rankings updated per current cycle. Men's rankings remain unchanged.

Yeah already did don't worry. I was just letting them know

Just letting you know the dropbox link doesn't work at the mo. Not sure if it's my end or yours

Python is your best bet for bulk editing or using one of the config tools. I had to script it because I had bulk changes to make after the update.
