Build 12 – Rebuild Part 1.7

Added : Edited/Created : last batch of FM14 Save England U21s : Nathan Redmond (Norwich City), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton), Calum Chambers (Southampton), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Jack Butland (Stoke City), Connor Wickham (Sunderland), Saido Berahino (West Brom), Ravel Morrison (West Ham), Lee Nichols (Wigan Athletic), Nick Powell (Manchester United on loan at Wigan).

Note: Callum Chambers (was Callum in FM14 so of cause the database didn’t find any results and I made a fresh player until realising I have Calum on my Test save, deleted that one wasting some changes)

Championship team players (finally temp removed with the first batch of players starting to be added

Total Changes 297,019

at this point i have also run a complete season test on a previous season using add players to playable teams overall im actually pretty happy with how the season unfolded where teams finished etc obviously this could change as i start adding more players to more teams. at this stage you will get a random batch of decent and poor generated players using the add players. but ive found that over the course of season 1 teams have slowly started to sell/release quite a lot of them. as they begin signing better and better players. i can take credit for 2 teams in this save as i started as man utd manager rebuilt it then resigned when the board was going to pull out of signing a player but then still did sign him. they finished top of the league with 100 points and only made 2 additional signings in January. i simulated from the moment of resignation to the start of February where i joined Hull City bottom of Prem with 4 points. i was able to sign a bunch of free agents both real and newgen not only did i get them to finish 10th (last day leapfrog up the league from 17th) the U21s won the U2 prem division cup and the u21 PDL North and Playoffs. the u18s had a significant improvement but the majority of their fixtures where over so the few wins after a month of being in charge wasnt enough to get them higher than mid table.
I will still be testing on this save for maybe another season to see how progression continues

Build 11 – Rebuild Part 1.6

Added/Created : Dan Burn (Fulham), Jack Robinson (Liverpool on loan at Blackpool), Danny Ings (Burnley), George Thorn (West Brom on loan at Derby), Andre Wisdom (Liverpool on loan at Derby), Liam Moore (Leicester), Jon Flanagan (Liverpool), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Nathaniel Chalobah (Chelsea on Loan at Middlesbrough),

Edited : one of the Easter Eggs players was missing a bunch of attributes filled those back in

Premier League & other relevant English Competitions – Removed VAR and a few other small tweaks that should have some positive for the period effects (kept the current sub rule)

Build 10 - Rebuild Part 1.5 - Final Update for the day
Removed clubs added as part of WIP Database.

Added/Edited : Tom Ince (Crystal Palace on loan from Blackpool), John Stones (Everton), Wilfried Zaha (Cardiff on loan from Man Utd)

Tomorrow will see the addition of more England U21s and England U19s and potentially correct teams for League 1 through to Skrill North/South and atleast 1 complete Premier Division Team aswell as Sheffield United which will bring the Rebuild Part to a close as it will then not only be in line with where the database was prior to the issues but actually to and beyond were my offline build was prior to the issues (this may come in more than 1 part)

Build 9 - Rebuild Part 1.4 : Removed some league and cup history. this got a little tricky as the player history and league/cup history dates are quite different and ofcause some such as the Community Shield are even more different

Build 8 - Rebuild Part 1.3 - Successfully Merged in my UK Places 5.0- Sheffield Database and a WIP Upcoming Database Add-On.
unfortunately these did not have the desired effect in re-adding some clauses so i could re-remove them

Build 7 - Rebuild Part 1.2

Championship Teams now correct with Morale and Repuation Set, main general finances temporarily set to 0, Income, Debts and Clauses removed

Players Added/Edited : George Long – Sheffield United (League One)

Some clauses still exist despite now no clauses for either team involved… not yet checked this for all teams with players removed, but a fair amount I have gone through so far for example Man Utd still have multiple clauses for multiple players that are not in the team and clauses have been removed from both teams, I have tried adding the clauses in and then removing again to no effect. I do have 1 or 2 more things I may try in a future update… could cause a few issues tho as it will involve merging some databases together and then checking if the clauses show up again.

Can confirm that with some messing with the program files deleting various files etc will fix the override naming issues for some of the leagues and teams such as Vanarama, Vanarama North/South becoming what has been set these are down to Licensing issues so with default OR any name fix files such as the one on Sortitoutsi and FMScout these will likely remain as Vanarama etc as they are set in those files simply deleting the appropriate files or moving them somewhere while setting up database will resolve the issue

Build 5 - Rebuild Part 1 - English Premier League has correct Teams (not players, staff etc).

Created/Edited players from the England First Team (according to my Huge default database FM14 save) all of these players surprisingly are Premier League based (Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Norwich, Tottenham & West Brom) these teams have had their base finances set i.e. Balance, transfer budget, remaining wage budget, match price, season ticket price, # of season tickets. the rest of the prem have a 0 set on all (temporarily)

Created/Edited 9 Easter Egg (People) 8 are players, 1 youngster and 7 experienced aswell as 1 manager with the exception of the youngster the other 8 people retired at the end of 2012/13 season or the relative time for their league in this situation i have made all of the players (players) not player/non player to try to prevent any immediate retirements.. this just adds a little what if these people did not retire at the end of 12/13 season spin, as for the youngster they are actually connected to 1 of the other 7 players were never a part of an official FM Database but some of their playing history past youth clubs etc is documented. unfortunately this youngster retired early and unlike their brother (too young too add) who also retired early but came back, this person did not and is probably unlikely too now. all 9 people will be unattached.

Players added/edited 23 and under regardless of wether of not they had a set pa on FM14 will have a PA Range example Ross Barkley FM14 PA = 172. in this ive set his PA Range to -10 (170-200) so he has a guaranteed minimum PA of 170. down the line where i get to players who exceeded their FM14 PA i will try to find a decent balance a prime example here will be Jamie Vardy and honestly quite a lot of youngsters. the same can be said the opposite way where players never got near their FM14 potential and are unlikely too due to the fact their potential has been lowered over the years i will find a balance there to not preventing them from becoming decent players but not completely overpowering their potential

temporarily all players (minus those 24 and under FM24) that were part of the Prem teams and some Championship teams are available as free agents as their default FM24 details.

minus the Easter Egg people and some staff (mostly England National Team related atm) the players created/edited so far are (in order of team alphabetically)

Arsenal: Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere
Chelsea: Frank Lampard (Junior), Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill
Everton: Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines, Ross Barkley
Liverpool: Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, Daniel Sturridge
Man City: Joe Hart, Scott Sinclair (on loan at West Brom with option to buy)
Man Utd: Michael Carrick, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young, Danny Welbeck, Phil Jones
Norwich: John Ruddy
Tottenham: Aaron Lennon, Kyle Walker
West Brom: Ben Foster, Scott Sinclair (on loan from Man City with option to buy)

there has been some additional non players created connected to a couple of these players such as Frank Lampard, and 1 or 2 of his relatives. further connections may be added down the line as/when those people are created/edited.

i had planned for the next update to be Part 2. but instead im now going to have a quick look at this first see if i need to make any adjustments then do a part 1.1, 1.2 etc for any adjustments and addition of the other clubs finances as well as these clubs other finances ie income/debts (sell on clauses etc will come at a later date). these broken down updates will also contain broken down elements of my original plans i.e Part 2 was supposed to be England U21 Internationals, Part 3 England U18 Internationals in the same fashion as Part 1. these will also remove more players from teams in the Championship and below. currently im not sure how frequently i will post these they could be multiple a day or once a week (until the Rebuild is at a state i consider equivalent to where the previous build was)

overall this puts the database at 291053 changes (roughly 100000 more than the prior build had despite it technically being further behind)... sadly removing players counts to that and ofcause the more changes the longer a database will take to load. i suggest patience if you dont have a beast of a computer. i will for now atleast unlikely be adding future transfers so i would avoid using the ''Real World'' option or ''Your World'' and instead i would say use Original as there is unlikely to be any difference other than FM24 transfer stuff that has not yet been removed which will likely be quite a lot

Build 4 - England Specific tweaks such as Transfer FM14 Transfer & Wage Values, 5 years Accumulative instead of 5 years Continuous to gain nationality as it was on FM14 and a few other nation specific stuff that dont require basic or advanced rules to be added.
Sheffield United Players added/moved and tweaked and various other Shefield United tweaks i forgot to do before such as re-adding old affiliates (existing ones left in place)

Build 3 - Moved & adjusted the remaining Sheffield United players to the clubs they were at Including Position Changes etc. where the players did not exist in FM14 they have been moved to whatever club they were at or the earliest club they were at according to TransferMarkt with no position changes but the majority of their attributes set to 0 and a CA of 35. all players have been given a Potential Range around were they are in FM24 or their FM14 set PA so 134 PA becomes 130-160 rather than say 110-140 unless they exceeded the potential they had in FM14 in which case i then do the same based on what they have.

This will be the last update for at least a few hours and then i will continue with Sheffield United Part 3... adding players as this currently leaves them with 0 players after that i will begin with Premier League Teams in Alphabetical order. where possible at that point i will do some offline saves and upload at least 1 team fully completed at once rather than in multiple updates purely in case Fm Editor Crashes which it has done once so far.

for the players that did exist in FM14 : Where the players recommended ability is different to what they had in FM14 i have set the recommended CA based on their attributes (this is something FM14 Editor did NOT have) in most cases this is slightly lower but 1 or 2 are higher such as John Fleck
