Can I see inside the 1830/lnc folder and inside your editor data folder as well please?

As for the other screenshot, I meant this one:

When uploading screenshots, it would be great if you retained the original size as the second one is quite simply not big enough to see what's in there


OK ok.. I see what you're doing there...

In my defense... why is there an 'Editor Data' inside the 'Editor Data' folder on My Documents?? I ended up putting the four files needed within the second folder hence why the DB fixes weren't showing up... I bet this is what's happening to a few of us...

In any event, your screenshot made me realized that I was doing something wrong when I found nothing within the first 'Editor Data' folder.... working now, thanks for the reverse lesson

Can I see screenshots of the locations where you've placed the folders please? And also of the advanced setup screen when starting a new game?

i've followed the instructions to the tee and started a new save yet I still see Portugal league teams with 3 letters and La LIga names also wrong....

I deleted all three folders as directed from 1800, 1810 and 1830 and replaced with the files and did the same thing for the editor files.

All files are in default drives and paths.

No problems with reapplying the files, was actually more concern about the name changes where you need to start a NEW game for it to take effect.


That won't happen... since the actual changes for Brazil for example are done through DB edits and it won't (or shouldn't) be overwritten.... am I wrong??

So basically if Steam patches it the next round, i need to start a save game to have all the correct names? Anyway to stop Steam autoupdates then?


Well all you need to do is re-apply these 4-5 files in the three different folders... Not the end of the world... You're probably going to want the SI patch for the game as there always improvements to the ME or bug fixes.

"Step 4:
Go to: Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2017
Step 5:
Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it. There are 3 files in there, copy them.
Step 6:
Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and copy the 3 files previously selected
Step 7:
Paste this folder into the folder mentioned in step 5. If there is already an earlier version of this file in that folder, then it MUST be deleted before."


Oh come on, FFS. First of all there are not 3 files in Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2017, there is one, a config file.

"go back to the file you downloaded and copy the 3 files previously selected"

Why can't you just NAME the files? You mean DBC, Inc and Edt? The files I just pasted into 1700,1701 and 1710? Because those are the ones I 'previously selected'.


"Paste this folder into the folder mentioned in step 5."

What? Paste what folder? So paste the '3 files previously selected'? So paste DBC, Inc and Edt into "editor data"?

What about the folder named "editor data" that is in the .rar that we download?

How is this the official guide?

Just tried downloading this file from both free sites, and both times Windows Defender detected malware. It appears as though the file is infected.


No, it appears Windows Defender sucks... Get a real protection software.. Avast + Malwarebytes

Mon, you're legendary brother! All working perfect...

Just a quick note which is not a big deal for my first save at all.... The Coach of the Year is not even a thing on this save, it has been replaced by World Football Player of the Year

I'm looking for volunteers to do some quick testing on another setups so that I can confirm a theory I have. PM me if you're interested.

All they will need to do is to start a new game or 2 with a selection of media-related editor data files I'll send them.

The quicker more people PM me, the quicker an update will be out to include the media files.

It adds real-life media and journalists, with a number of media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. i.e instead of the Florence Football Gazette, you'll see La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting on Fiorentina etc etc


I can help you test, tried PM'ng you but got an error on my end...Fell free to PM me with instructions

Open the Awards.lnc folder with Notepad (or Mac equivalent) and do a search for: ## INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

The below are the correct entries for the Coach of the Year:

"AWARD_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 13157107 "FIFA World Coach of the Year" ""
"AWARD_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 13157107 "World Coach of the Year" ""


Thank you! I just realized you're not done with the updates, what exactly are these media files you're working on? is it worth waiting or it's just minor changes?

By the way fantastic work!

Come on man, the answer to your question is in the very post you are quoting.

There are now separate awards in-game, and in this file, for the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year. As for the Coach of the Year, for the short name I mistakenly used the same UID as for the FIFA World Player of the Year. Good spot and will be rectified in the next iteration of the file. This change will be save-game compatible, thankfully.


Can you pin point the steps to do this? If I search on the editor I do find Fifa Coach of the Year but seems the UID is static....

Thank you for this!!! amazing!

One quick question... are the yearly awards fixed as well? I see two different "Player of the Year" awards with one ending in 2009.... Isn't there a FIFA"s best now?

Actually, looks like your fix adds Coach of the year, but it's populated with past Player of the year winners...
