League swap/ Super League guide - FMFormation.net - Football Manager

Uhh... before I start, I'd just like to say that this trick won't work with all leagues and sometimes the editor breaks things without explanation. I suggest you make plenty of backups and that you save and check(by starting a new game) that your database is in good working order at regular intervils if you are doing big edits.

The nation we are replacing is England. The nation we are replacing it with is Japan. Keep in mind, these are just examples; I know replacing England with Japan makes no sense at all before pointing that out.

1. Filter all English competitions and change their nation to Japan and continent to Asia. You may want to rename them as well. Do the same for the Japanese competitions, too.

2. Swap all the teams into the divisions you wish to put them into. DO NOT change the number of teams in any of the playable leagues, this will cause the game not to detect them on start up.

3. Set all clubs nations back to how they should be as the editor also swaps nation when you swap 2 teams. This is a problem with the editor.

4. Set all "last division" and "last positions" for the Japanese teams so that they were in the (former)English leagues last season. This is to avoid crashing when the game attempts to seed the FA Cup and League Cup.

5. Delete all competition history, then set at least last seasons history for the Premiership and FA Cup so the game does not crash when attempting to set up the Charity Shield. You can add as much history as you want for any competition, but this is optional.

6. Go to England and change it's TLA(Three Letter Abbreviation) to JPN, then go to Japan and set it's TLA to ENG.

7. See if your new league works!

Some of these steps(such as TLA and competition nation/continent) do not need to be done when making a super league, but you can if you want.

Thanks to Dave Fairbairn from Community.sigames for this

Looking good Feddo! Thanks to Dave Fairbairn from me. Guides like these do always come in handy. By the way, perhaps you've already done it but could you add this to the Guides & Articles section as well?

thanks

is very useful your guide

my only problem is that the teams from the old league still play in the cup in the first season

**Fedorico Roma Fan** · 25-04-08, 01:26 PM

change the nation of the cup from the original nation to the new nation.

marian7dumy · 25-04-08, 07:35 PM

i have changed it, i ve even set last division and last position for the new teams (maybe here is my problem because i invented them)

is strange because the game doesnt crush but still loads the former slovakian teams in the new cup

i think i miss something but i dont know what

thanx anyway

if u have any other idea please let me know

**Fedorico Roma Fan** · 25-04-08, 07:59 PM

all the old league teams will need their nationality changing back to the original country

Very good guide fed

marian7dumy · 25-04-08, 09:16 PM

I did even that, still doesnt work

marian7dumy · 25-04-08, 09:36 PM

i created a new european nation in the place of kazahstan, practically i renamed kazahstan

i renamed C.S.I. to Kazachstan, so that my new nation replaces Kazachstan into EURO qualifiers but kazachstan still exists in asia

i replaced the teams from the KAZ competitions with the new ones.

i put the kaz clubs into a premier division and in a lower division in a <none> country

so i think my new nation replaced kaz into the game, TLN included but in uefa cup and CL still play the kaz teams in the first season

after that i replaced the slovakian competitions with my new nation competions (the former KAZ) according to your guide

am i missing something?

put the other lower division into the Kazakhstan nation aswell not <none>

Quote:

this is because kazakhstan is in Asia In real life but plays in europe the same as Israel.

you cant change this. and every season teams will go into europe as kazahkstan is in Uefa and not in the Asian association.

marian7dumy · 26-04-08, 08:44 PM

i experienced the first season and at the beggining of the second one my new nation clubs play in the national cup and also play in the european cups replacing the KAZ clubs (SVK clubs play too), just like i wanted

i tried to explain u what changes i made and all of them work fine for me except the fact that in my new cup first season still play (only) the slovakian teams (from the league that i replaced)

i really cant manage to replace them with my new clubs

i thought my changes maybe influenced the problem i experience

thanx anyway for the help

**Fedorico Roma Fan** · 26-04-08, 09:06 PM

just wait a season and the problem may correct itself. make sure the cup nation is KAZ though not SVK, and all former SVK clubs nations are changed BACK to SVK as they change themselves to KAZ for some reason, this is a problem with the editor.

hope this helps.

rutger2112 · 07-05-08, 08:28 PM

hi is there a setting where you can change the players of all the nation to another nation without having to change them all yourself one by one?because i wish to make those who are from croatia, bosnia, montenegro, serbia, slovenia and macedonia yugoslav again

**Fedorico Roma Fan** · 07-05-08, 09:00 PM

you will have to do them all 1 by 1 im afraid.

RMA · 12-05-08, 09:14 PM

and if there is no competition in the data editor, bur perhaps clubs of a nation in premier a division???

samitariq · 09-06-08, 09:26 PM

Good one Fed, Ive successfully created the Pakistani Leagues! Replacing our old rivals India :P

Ok, recently me and my friend decided we were going to make a Canadian Database. So what we decided to do was use Hong Kong as we heard this was the best for this type of thing.

We renamed EVERY club in Hong Kong, and changed EVERY clubs nationality. We changed each of the Hong Kong leagues and cups nationality to Canada and the Continent to North America. We also renamed the competitions if that makes a difference.

We deleted all the players from each Hong Kong club to make them generate Canadian players on start up. We also changed the clubs history to only have their last position for 2006 or 2007, and set all the cups and leagues last winner for 2006/2007.

When we start it up, the game generates the Canadian players fine except for one team. When you first pick a team to play with your contract is always zero years and you get a far lower budget than entered into the editor. The boards expectations are also weird, as it refers to the league as something like <%competition1%>. When trying to play a friendly game, it works fine. But when it's time for a league game basically no matter how many times you click submit team, it will never go, just make the team sheet blank. And it also does show any of the pre-match predictions or any thing, every thing is blank.

What exactly did we do wrong?
