Do you mean force the play-off winners/results?
Not possible as far as I know (or to set cup results)

Hey JBZ, great work on these files, really appreciate it!

Just wanted to ask if there’s any chance you’ll release a file for the rest of Central America (Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, etc.) like you did in FM2024. Also, do you know if there will be an update for the Costa Rican Second Division?

Thanks a lot, man!

 

It's very unlikely (also I didn't for FM24, you must be thinking of someone else).
There is a full North American file on FM Scout though, looks like it is of decent quality

The CONCACAF and Central American Cup must be used together?

 

No, central american cup is for 26.1.
I will remove the 26.1 files actually, as might be confusing

Regional Cups aren't updated for Austria and Germany, just the divisions (I considered it but it is quite a lot of work putting teams in the right regions etc)

 

Anyway that is clear in the opening post isn't it ?

Thank you. i am not able to see the settings you posted in the picture correct? Or where can i change the squad number to 99? 

 

I just have these basic settings that i can adjust something on. Can i find the settngs that you posted too or not?

 

Thanks for your effort!

 

I meant you had to open the germany file in the pre-game editor and change yourself before starting a new game.
But it does seem a stupid rule (maybe wrong in original database) as makes no sense to allow 99 players but not 99 squad numbers, so have updated the Germany file with up to 99 allowed in BL 3 + Regionalliga

Its set as 49 for the Bundesliga and 40 in the 2 ,3 and regional divisions- I'm guessing those are the real rules (?) as I didn't change from the default database.

 

But yes it is possible to change them- just change the highest squad number to 99 save and revalidate before starting a new game.

Sorry unlikely to be adding other Swiss regional leagues, IFV or otherwise

 

What do you mean by issues with squad numbers, just that they are missing for leagues below the Challenge League?

I don't speak German, but yes the Austrian 2.Klasse goes back to 16 teams in the 2026/27 season if that's what you are asking

How do you download it i am new?

 

Click on which fmf file you want and then place in your \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\editor data folder

The kits should go in the \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\graphics\kits folder

I noticed this is happening since SI updated the database, but they haven't updated the database in the editor yet (for some reason, in different locations this year).
So yes, on the agenda to fix, but need to wait until the database in the editor is updated to be in sync with the main game.

 

Austria file is now updated- problem was one of the second tier teams went bust (only applied in the updated database) so had to change 2nd tier from 16 to 15 teams.

That was the only problem, but was causing strange knock-on problems like the extra teams appearing in the 1st tier.

Austria doesnt work properly. Too many teams are in the first division, teams like the second team from LASK are missing…Could u may fix?

if you have the FM24 3d kits for me so i can see the kits i can create it for you.

 

Thanks, they're on this website for FM24 (23/24 season) but all the kits have since changed apart from Ruggell so not just a question of activating for FM26

Thanks, 23/24 are on this site already (I know they need to be converted to work in FM26), but they're a couple of seasons out of date and the kits have changed for all teams except Ruggell.
I have managed to find 2D versions of most of the 25/26 kits, but I imagine they are not much use?

Not sure if this is the place for requests, but would it be possible for someone to please create 3d Kits for the 7 Liechtenstein clubs for 25/26?

 

(will share expanded Swiss database to play them with once the editor comes out)

Swiss file attached validated for 22.3 and 22.4- has some improvements too if you plan to use that league

I didn't validate the others (they might work if you try yourself in the editor as Mons says)

Yep thanks, but I knew that; I originally tried to upload as a zip file and it didn't like it- are zip files now allowed to be attached any more?

(not a problem as files small enough as fmf)

I don't use FMT, so can't be sure, but I was under the impression this worked just fine going by previous feedback.

 

It does work fine, and confirm still does for the winter update  🙂 

 

But I think the opening post  is misleading some people, as references the full fat folders.

Files should be placed here:

 

(for PC Steam users)
Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2021 Touch\data\database\db\2110
AND
Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2021 Touch\data\database\db\2130
AND
Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2021 Touch\data\database\db\2111

 

 

(great work by the way, I use these files every year and have probably never said thank you- so thank you)

#537937 Retain Players File

Typo in the file path I provided:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020 Touch\data\database\db\2040\edt\

(file extension should be a ddt, but should be in the edt folder)

So that should make the files work at least:
However, it will only retain as many players as there are in the database in the first place, and there aren't that many Maltese players in the FMT database...

(not sure how the FMT and FM full databases link together. If you are using the file that retains all teams with a UEFA coefficient file as well, you will see for some reason Balzan seem to have a full squad, including several Maltesers. But the other six teams only have between 4 and 8 players retained, and amongst those only 2 or 3 altogether of Maltese nationality. Seemed to be 5 or 6 additional Maltesers retained from foreign clubs. So you might struggle to get enough players to make the national team playable due to these database limitations.)

Not quite, path should be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020 Touch\data\database\db\2040\ddt\

Lower case or upper case not important really, just paste the file in the right place using Windows File Explorer
(the path you showed was for full version of Football Manager, not FMT. File should work with that version too, but not necessary, as the advanced start game options in full version allow a lot more freedom to choose all players from nationality, all players based in nation, all players in top division etc. etc. for any country you like, so don't need to go to the trouble of creating a DDT file, much easier)

Also, depends which version of the database you are going to start your game with, if latest database in the 2040 folder, if original database, 2000 folder etc. etc.
