Hi Flut

Thanks for the update it's brilliant. 

I play in commentary only mode and noticed that underneath the stats for both team the formations do not appear when you select them. If I click on the arrow at the top right then I can select anything else and it will appear. 

I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the number of subs for the European Club competitions. I know how to change it for the leagues in Europe.

Nice one, Denmark is a great country, was in Kobenhavn 7 years ago had a great time and drank lots of Tuborg haha. 

I see on the SI forum some ppl are struggling with the info provided to get the pic to work. I think ppl aren't reverting back to the basic skin therefore you can't create a new profile (I couldn't whilst using Flut)

I decided go back to the basic skin and it allowed me to create my profile. I'll help anyone who's struggling with it. Xande_Nojosa must be a whizz kid, I would never have known to take the steps he took to get it working.

Perhaps he secretly works for SI and was fed up hearing about people bringing it all the time 🤣

A modest Scandinavian 😂

I am guessing you're Scandinavian by the username I could be totally wrong

I have just started a save with Slavia Prague, so I'll upload the background pics of players that I have added for them. 

You need to start a new save and create a new profile. I followed the steps that xande_nojosa had provided and it works. If anyone knows how to add a picture without starting a new save and profile then please let us know.

Hi

Try this fix from Xande_nojosa this was on SI Forum 

Guys, first I'm sorry for my bad English. But I found a way to put the photo in the manager.

1 - When creating a manager, in the part of putting the information, just skip to the team choice.

2 - When the teams appear, go to preferences and put the photo of your manager.

3 - After it has loaded, go back on the upper left button to put information about the manager. The name will likely be blank and other random information.

4 - Finally, put what you want and proceed to save the game.

I just created Erik ten Hag, at the wrong age, but it was a test.

It worked for me, I had to create an account here to share this information and I hope it helps you guys.

Found the FM Graphics Config on this site and it's working. Cheers for replying to me in the first place much appreciated  👍

When I click on the FM XML it doesn't show a background option. I've got faces, kits, and logos

Maybe I am using a older version. Have you got a link for the FM XML?

Hi 

If you're creating backgrounds for players who don't have one, are you able to use the FM XML which does the config for you?

I've not done this before, so any guidance would be helpful.

Thank you so much for that link. Yeah I'll report it to them. I can amend it in the editor myself. 

I'll check the height of other players in the B team to see if there's further discrepancies.

Not too sure if this is the correct forum for my question. 

How reliable a source of info is the website Transfermrket? I know in terms of deals and contract extension it's sound.

In Slavia Prague B team there is a played called Martin Subert. In FM22 he's a CB and his height is 198 cm and then according to Transfermrket he is a CM and his height is 179 cm. That's almost 2ft of a difference. I can't find anything on Slavia's website about the player, for some reason their B teams page isn't working.

Perhaps anyone reading this got more info on their B team can let me know.

I think it might be end of the month before we see an update. I think Miles posted something on Twitter on the 2nd March about a delay, then again on the 10th this must take into account what's happening at Chelsea. I believe there's a link on Steam in which you can view the progress of the update

Yeah it seems that way. We can only hope that it's fixed

Haha yesterday was a long day. Glad I know what to do now, who knows in the next update it might be fixed so the default language is the actual language used for the player 

Yeah basically what I needed to do was click in the dropdown and type Czech and then select it. It's worked by doing that.

Hi

I am about to start a save as Slavia Prague and I have added some of their youth players into the game. The players that I have added are all from The Czech Republic, when I click on the players in the game, it shows that English is their main language and there is no sign of Czech.

In the editor data, under the language tab when creating a new player it defaults to the nationality of the player. So I shouldn't have to add Czech as their main language. Anyone know how to fix this?

I suspect they will and ban Russian teams from Europe for the 21-22 season, will they do it for future season who knows I guess. They will defo ban the Russian team from entering the World Cup 2022. I think the next update will be delayed due to this. I think it's due out middle of this month but I reckon could be end of the month or next month before it's out. 

In terms of the Russian league no idea what they will do with that, but pointless playing it if you can't get into Europe. 

Yeah I would agree with you, it's very strange. Maybe someone who's more clued up in building games or coding might know. My advice would be use the link below and report the error.

It's a pain in the ass. SI have said that a number of people have raised this issue. Last year's 2nd part of the winter update was out on the 15th March. So hopefully this year's will be out around the same time. 

I can't understand why nobody at SI tested this out before the release. They should have a checklist of things to tick off before releasing the update. 

Has anyone got an updated facepack for the J League after the most recent update?

I know the second winter update last year which included the Russian and Chinese transfers was released on 15th March. So we might be looking at something similar this year. I really do hope they do release a minor update next week. 

I don't understand why something that's worked in the previous updates no longer works in this update. There's a saying if it ain't broken don't fix it.

Annoying that need to wait for the next update which will be in the middle of March for this to be fixed. I hope they release a minor update within the next few days.

Yeah no worries at all. They always release a minor update after a major one, I would imagine it's a easy fix from there end. Let's hope they release an update next week or that.

So after the new data update I can't seem to get my own picture in the game when starting a new save. I know there's other players having the same issue. I was wondering if there was some whiz kid who knows of another way to load your pic into the game?

SI know about this error, whether they do anything about it is another thing.

SI are aware of the issue. It's under review with the Arts and Animations team, I suspect it should be an easy fix. I hope the release a minor update in the next day or two

Massive praise for the people who created the data update and to the people who contributed, defo made the game more playable IMO.

In terms of new features or small updates, I am not really sure you can do much more. 

I think it's an issue SI will need to address. Can't fathom what they've done for it not to work. Clearly something has happened, as with all updates there's always something that goes tits up that worked before. 

Would you not be able to look at your new profile, then use the ID number attributed to that profile?

Whatever pic you use rename that with your ID number and add your picture to the graphics folder open the config using notepad and add in your profile number into the file and save. Also drop your profile pic in the graphics folder too.

Go back into the game and reload the skin to see what happens. 

I've just found out the file that I've downloaded that contained him. Thanks for letting me know, at least if anyone else has him twice then they will know he's not been added in your files 👍
