Bakibenz you can use FMRTE and make the squads real if you wish

I tought the squads would be real too. Shame they are not. :(

thank you for your info I have got about a third of real fixtures working, I have not been able to establish what is stopping this from working fully, will give it another try later

cheers

kingrobbo, of cource, you can use it.

a request to the author would you have any objections if I used this file and upgraded it with real squads, to use in an online sim where useres are going to play out the real fixtures. I will be cleary stating the work is yours , I will only be setting up squads and releasing a sved game on the start of Euros for those to use. Many thanks

for people who are unsure author has posted..THIS IS ONLY TO PLAY THE EUROS it stops all othe comps. If you want a late game start go to soritoutsi they have a mod where you can select the date so you go 1 june 2016 which is ideal to use this file

Is there a fix to it stopping future World Cup and European Championships. Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?

Don't worry, I skipped a couple of days and it appeared, it obviously just doesn't appear at the beginning; Thank you so much for your help Silensed! :)

I have done all that and have set the start date to the 1st May 2016 and it all works however when I start a game and check throught the calender it appears that I have no games scheduled, Do you know what I am doing wrong?

MrTooMuchPace, you can download "Custom Start Date" there - https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-start-date . Save file to ...\Documents and Settings\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\editor data. You can see how to start game at may 2016 there - https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-start-date#installation_instructions
Or you can set Brazil when you select countries and start 30.04.16.

"in game it says "0 database changes" "
Update dose not have database changes, only competition changes (it doesn't show in game as database changes).

The only date options I have are:
"Early 2015/16 Pre-Season (1/7/2015)"
"Late 2015/16 Pre-Season (12/7/2015)"
"Start of 2015/16 Season (26/7/2015)"
"First matches in 2015/16 Champions Cup (12/8/2015)"
"First Matches in 2015/16 EURO Cup (25/6/2015)"

Please can someone let me know soon if this is correct and how I can fix it?

Actually I am not 100% sure if i have downloaded it because in game it says "0 database changes" unless its supposed to be like that.

I have subscribed and downloaded however I can't set the date to 1st May 2016, Does anyone know how to set the "Custom Start Date"?

Ok thanks anyway mate :)

Unfortunately no. I tried different ways but had no success.

Never mind mate, unsubscribed and then subscribed in game, restarted the game and then it worked!

I'm assuming there's no way to get the fixtures in the correct order? :)

I've tried unsubscribing and then resubscribing, it doesn't help, is there anyway I can download and extract it manually? Thankyou mate :)

The update should be displayed in database editors' files. You can check update in your computer - ...\Documents and Settings\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\editor data. If you can't find it there, you can uncubscribe and subscribe again. Maybe it helps.

I start on may the 1st, your database won't show up along the original football manager and winter update, do I have to add it manually after subscribing to the mod? Thankyou for your help mate :)

Jordzster96, you use only two updates or something else too? In what date you start save?

I've installed this mod but the teams in the groups and the custom start date, but teams are still random in the groups? Is there something I might be doing wrong? Thankyou :)

Raggnarok, you should subscribe and start new game.
Set update (or two updates if use use sourtitutsi's "Custom Start Date") in database editor's files.
Set country (or countries) and set date when your save will start (30.4.16 if you set Brazil or some other day if you set sourtitutsi's "Custom Start Date" (better to use the period 1 to 15 May)).

How do I run it the game?

no problem its a great piece of work and perfect just to play the euros

for those wanting a long save it cant be used

kingrobbo, thank you. What I do not have that information in the description - it's my fault.

for people to be aware this file removes slighly important competitions like the FIFA WORLD CUP it also stops the game generating future EUROS so basically it messes future international comps

this should have been fully explained in the details for this file it is too late when users are well into a save to find this out glad I ran a holiday teast
