No, nothing is wrong here. Competitions have both a long and a short name. The long name is the full blown sponsored name - in this case Sports Direct Premiership. The short name, as it suggests, is a shorter version of the name. In this case NIFL Premiership (which makes more sense than putting it as something like SD Premiership).

 

The game uses the long name in some places and the short name in others which tends to reflect real-life usage where the terms Sports Direct Premiership and NIFL Premiership are used interchangeably depending on where and how they are being used.

 

If you open the file Competitions and other Fixes.lnc which is one of the files included in the download in Notepad (or any text editor) and scroll aaaaaalllllll the way down to Northern Ireland you will see the lines:

 

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 130023 "Sports Direct Premiership" ""
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 130023 "NIFL Premiership" ""

 

If you wish, you can overtype either of those names with anything you want then save it and whatever you have decided for the new names will appear in-game, but if you do this, just remember that you'll have to do it every time you download a new version of the Real Name fix (and there are generally a number of new versions released for each iteration of the game).

 

Thanks mate!

Hi guys, not sure if anyone else is getting this but on the inset screen I'm getting the original name of the division even though it's got the fixed name at the top:

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @mons - thanks for this fix, it's awesome. Sorry if I've missed this post somewhere above, but do these changes affect the hot fixes that are being released and downloaded? i.e. does it stop the match engine improvements etc.?

Apologies if this is a stupid question!
