I suggest everybody clicks the "Notify me when updated" button to receive an email when the file is updated/amended in the future.

will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released and when the full game comes out

Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game

This fileto ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMT or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2017 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players. These are fully save-game compatible.There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files.Follow the below instructions to install this version of this filethe dbc , edt and Inc foldersthe dbc , edt and Inc foldersthe dbc , edt and Inc foldersthe dbc , edt and Inc foldersthe dbc , edt and Inc foldersNotes:could bedepending on your set up.the dbc , edt and Inc folders[/spoiler]the dbc, edt and Inc folders from the downloaded packthem into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.These are what the folder structure should look like in all 5 of the 1700, 1701. 1710, 1712 and 1730 folders:the 4 files located in the EDITOR DATA folder in the downloaded packtoThis should be what your editor data folder looks like now (with 5 files rather than 4 as in this screenshot. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread
