Mikel Arteta is now a coach, he retired.

Players are still in the database, it will depend how large a DB you load when you select your leagues, they're not removed from our DB.

All the co-effs have been updated, for some reason it is fussy when it comes to the Greeks, it's on "the list".

Just a note to everyone, leagues which have had structural changes (be it rules, number of teams etc) are updated as best as currently possible, each will need separate files to make the changes.

I'm either incredibly crap or incredibly good and I have absolutely no idea how I do either.

Keep trying new games, if you're like me eventually one will get you hooked. Granted that also involves a few kickings...

Still getting Error Code 2 after trying every single bit of advice. Really disappointing, first time Steam has made me really angry.

Be patient my friend


Re-downloaded it, still only get to 1% of installation completion when I try to click play, looks like I won't be playing the beta any time soon (i have to go to work, I doubt the servers will be any less busy today).

Thanks Steam.

Having to re-download it again because it wouldn't complete the bloody installation, always stuck at 1% and then spouting off about servers being too busy. I tried the deactivate virus software etc.

Having worked on a game which involved database to be fair not as large as fm but it's easy to assign people you get one person to work on one part of the game and others work on others (communication in this day and age shouldn't be an issue at all) even if other team members are just doing research with one main man doing the edits.

It's just sort of waste of time release a half finished job.


Depends on expectations really, I've released them for years for example but I will never claim I have editted every league every where, I tend to focus on the bigger ones, then some of the smaller europeans with some others outside this area also. Do people just want the big leagues 100% accurate or do they want more than that? I guess it varies from person to person.

The problem with co-ordinating is that as I say, it's not a job, you're not there 9-5 and can respond immediately to things, sometimes you have a small window to get lots of small edits in and so on, if you're sharing one files between 6-7 guys it can cause problems with FM editting (been there, seen it). The way FM data works, merging the data can lead to all sorts of problems with conflicting data and other wonderful issues, so even working on seperate files each can cause completely unexpected problems.

A team of researchers is something I wouldn't argue with they're incredibly helpful, but to be fair to pr0 here he has had lots of guys posting stuff for him in his threads, I used to get it too.

It is very easy to just say we should all work together to make an update, but to make massive changes means a hell of a lot of co-ordination, the nature of the beast is you do what you can when you can, if you're waiting for a file to keep re-appearing to edit on it you may lose your window of opportunity, people could end up working on it at the same time etc. End of the day, we don't get paid, I've done this for a decade now, it's a labour of love and we all have our own styles and ways of working, it's hard to convert that into suddenly being in a team.

Thanks, great work!

Have any CA/PA changes been made?


Nope, not for this release, I may make an optional file with changes for a later release though so those who want to play with it can and those who can't are not forced to.

Thanks Daz, that's the site I always use, it's been an absolute godsend! (Minus the fact they split clubs into youth squads etc and don't listen transfers out of them in the main clubs one, but a minor gripe!)
