Follow this short guide to display the real player names, due to licensing some of the national teams (like Germany) do not display the real names by default.
1) Don't run the game you need to do this in windows.
2) Open the folder "C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008/data/db/800/lnc/all"
3) Find the file in this folder called "fake.lnc", rename this file to something else such as "fake.bak". You can delete the file but its best to rename it incase you need it at a later date.
4) Startup FM2008 and start a new game
You should now see the proper squad for all teams.
