How to install FM 2014 real names fix
1. After downloading the file, which is a zip archive, you will have to extract it to this folder: Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Football Manager 2014>data>db>1400>lnc
(basically you replace the «all» folder with the new one, along with all the files in it)
After patch 14.3 you also have to replace the «all» folder in Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Football Manager 2014>data>db>1430>lnc

Sporting Lisbon is in fact Sporting Clube de Portugal.
Or Sporting CP, in short.
Sporting Lisbon doesn’t exist.
Johnny Karp
16 октября, 2013 at 16:30
It does in English. Same as FC Koln is Colonia in Italian.
bigtukker
16 октября, 2013 at 16:56
I don’t know how it’s done in English or Italian, but in Dutch we use Keulen for the city and the original name for the club. We also use Sporting Portugal, Sporting Lisbon, PSV Eindhoven etc. is like calling Arsenal «Arsenal London».
Johnny Karp
16 октября, 2013 at 16:59
You are comparing two different things. Bottom line is the fix replaces SCP with Sporting Lisbon, which is the name most English-speaking football fans know.
Pedro
19 октября, 2013 at 20:43
FC Koln is german and its real name is FC Koln, so I can’t get where you were going with that example. In Portugal we call the city Colónia, but I prefer to use the team real name.
I am a Sporting supporter and I hate that Sporting Lisbon thing. As said, the real name is Sporting Clube de Portugal; Sporting CP or even SCP would be more correct.
Johnny Karp
19 октября, 2013 at 20:55
Just delete the portugal.lnc file from the download and let’s get on with our lives. Or open it with Notepad and modify the Sporting name to whatever your preference is.
The example was quite simple: have you ever heard Sporting Clube de Portugal in a BBC report, SkySports, CNN? I guess not. Just like I never heard FC Koln in Italian broadcasts or newspapers, every time it was FC Colonia. Sporting Lisbon is the name that is the most known and recognizable by the international English-speaking audience, that is my point.
Pedro
19 октября, 2013 at 22:02
Johny fisrt thing, thank you for having this file for us.
Second, thank you for the tip about editing with note pad. I will do it.
Third, Sporting supporters, generally speaking, hate when its team is refered as Sporting Lisbon. We know that Sporting Lisbon is commonly used by english speakers, but if we don’t try to correct it, the error will persist.
Cheers.
Johnny Karp
19 октября, 2013 at 22:09
I know and I fully understand. It’s just a matter of «clash of cultures» if you want, it’s a lot easier for non-Portuguese people to refer to SCP as Sporting Lisbon. Just as it’s easier to say Benfica instead of Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
Valdemar
22 октября, 2013 at 19:20
1- thank you, Johhny Karp for the creation of these files.
2- I think we go back to the FML beta, am I right?
3- Yes, the file is easy to edit, so Sporting Lisbon, becomes Sporting CP, as I myself have done in previous Football Manager games.
4- I only pointed out that the sporting fans don’t like the club being called Sporting Lisbon. We prefer only Sporting, Sporting CP, or Sporting Portugal, to differenciate from the Sporting Gijón, of the Spanish second league.
5- as any Benfica fan wouldn’t like to have the club called Benfica Lisbon. It sounds just as ridiculous.
6- or Chelsea London/Arsenal London/Aston Villa Birmingham/Juventus Turim/Lazio Roma/etc.
7- but of course you can edit the name of any team on the game. You could easly call them «The dirty dozen» if you fancied it.
8- having each one of us pointed out our point ov view, I think we can call the discussion ended.
:)
Johnny Karp
22 октября, 2013 at 19:28
Don’t know what FML beta is but I know you’ve been around this site for a while know. As for Sporting, I have explained my point of you, you have stated yours, I have indicated an easy way to modify that file so I agree, that discussion is pretty much over. But I have to say that nobody in the English-speaking world ever says Benfica Lisbon, they do say Sporting Lisbon quite a lot though. No need to be ironic with «the dirty dozen» or the like, I can do irony too but I don’t see the point in this case.

Valdemar your point is taken, accepted and even agreed with. That has been done a few comments ago. Having said that it is impossible for it to change the download, unfortunately that is life, not exactly fair considering your views but there is no way, categorically, that any point you re-write will change that. So this exchange can now end there, as any other comments won’t be relevant to other readers looking for help with how to download etc, I would rather they didn’t have to read through loads of irrelevant comments to the subject they are looking for. Thanks

4 мая, 2014 at 11:23
I’m sorry, but nobody cares if ‘Sporting Lisbon’ is factually incorrect. For anyone who isn’t based in Portugal, that name is what gives them the most information. Bayern München will be continued to be referred to as ‘Bayern Munich’, even though it’s obviously ‘incorrect’. Nobody would know what the heck is HJK (Helsinki Football Club) unless it was referred to internationally as ‘HJK Helsinki’, which is obviously both redundant and incorrect.
Furthermore, Sporting needs to be distinguished from the other clubs with the same name, for example Sporting Gijon. ‘Sporting CP’ or ‘SCP’ tells a wide audience absolutely nothing at all. And for obvious reasons, ‘Sporting Clube de Portugal’ does not work as a common name for the club any more than ‘Sport Lisboa e Benfica’, or ‘Braunschweiger Turn- und Sportverein Eintracht von 1895’ does.
Valdemar
4 мая, 2014 at 12:49
Your name is Alex. Everybody in your house knows you as Alex. You like being called Alex and feel some pride in your name.
Now imagine you have another Alex in your work or class. Imagine they would start calling you Alex the fat because the other guy is very thin compaired to you.
The fact that you choose to raise que point again, 7 months after it’s closed, is what puzzles me.
Johnny Karp
4 мая, 2014 at 12:55
Oh nooo, not this endless discussion again! For FM 15 I might consider doing two versions of the real names fix, one for Portugal and another for the rest of the world.
Valdemar

Nah. No need. I think Alex was just taunting one of the 3 big clubs in Portugal.

On the other hand…. Sporting is Sporting Clube de Portugal, and its pretty dear to the portuguese supporters that name…
Johnny Karp

I know but this is an international and mostly English-speaking community. You can edit that name out if you want or delete the portugal.lnc file from the downloaded folder.

There should be real players in there but only after they pick a squad for a match.

Johnny Karp
19 октября, 2013 at 11:00
There are real players for Japan in my game. Moreover, it has nothing to do with the real name fix as far as I can tell. Maybe you have loaded a small database and those players are just not in there?
Niels
19 октября, 2013 at 11:04
Thanks for the effort.
I don’t know what is wrong here. It behaves like the german team because it finds the players under top players and they are present in teams like Man Utd, Schalke etc.
Johnny Karp
19 октября, 2013 at 11:08
Quite strange indeed. But again, it has nothing to do with this fix simply because there’s nothing to be fixed, there is no Germany-like restriction for the Japan team as far as I can tell.

This screwed up every name in the game for me… I tried preinstalling it couple times, deleted the main folder and the Sports Interactive folder in C:/Users and still it gives me random names for players, stuff and even my couch name now !!! Is there something to fix your fix ?!
Johnny Karp
12 ноября, 2013 at 07:22
It deleted? Maybe you deleted. If you can follow the instructions on how to install it then it will work, if not I’m not responsible for what you delete in your computer.
PredOborG
12 ноября, 2013 at 11:56
After I tried the fix it randomized every name in the game, even my profile name. Tried to reroll the changes with placing the original files back in the folder- didn’t work. Then uninstalled the game and installed it again- still same. 3rd thing I did was to completely remove every trace of the game and the fix from my PC (deleted all folders with Sports Interactive and registries containing Football Manager) and the random names are still occuring. For example Brendan Rodgers from Liverpool is now named Yusuf Ali Delgado…. The fake players option in preferences is ticked off.
I know I made mistake when I put the files in the db folder without renaming the leagues but somehow the Editor is not working for me , it just stays on black screen and nothing happens even when I wait for 1 hour….
Is there something I miss? Maybe the game sends all options to a cloud?
Johnny Karp
12 ноября, 2013 at 16:11
Again, installing this fix according to the instructions can never ever cause what you describe is happening there. I’m not sure what you did there to be honest but I repeat for one last time: this fix does not and will not change the names of real players and staff like Brendan Rodgers. For all other problems you have with the Editor and so on, please ask SI tech for help, that also has absolutely nothing to do with our fix.

When you set up the leagues and database size you want in your save there are some check boxes on the bottom side of the screen. One is «Use Fake Players» and I presume that is checked in your game. Try to start a new save and pay attention to that check box.

Hi Johnny, wanted to say thanks a lot for a great download, but one thing I found wrong is that in the English leagues some of the awards are wrong. For example in the championship an award is listed as a Powerade award, and the Championship manager of the month is actually listed as League 1 manager of the season. Also in League 1 and 2 some awards are still listed as Coca Cola awards.
Johnny Karp
27 ноября, 2013 at 11:33
Yes, you are right, I forgot to change those. Until I manage to release a new version of this fix you can open the awards.lnc file with Notepad and edit those names.
Not sure that the error of listing the Championship manager of the month as League 1 manager of the season is due to this fix though, that might be a game bug.

Now, the «Sports Interactive» folder just won’t come up any more under «Documents.» I created another one and can now save my game but I can’t install logo and face packs. How can I make the game generate this folder instead of me creating it? Please help, I will appreciate it.

You can put the user data folder anywhere you want from game preferences, I suggest keeping it on D if you don’t have much space on C, the logos and all that can take up lots of space.

I emailed SEGA. They helped me with it. Let me paste what they said in case someone facing the same problem googles it:
Please first delete the game. In the steam library right-click on ‘Football Manager 2014’ and selecte ‘delete local content’. Next, please do the following:
Windows Vista and Windows 7:
— Click «Start»
— Within the «Search Programs and Files» box, paste the following then press «Enter»: %localappdata%/ (Make sure you press Enter, it may otherwise say ‘No items match your search’)
— Delete the ‘Sports Interactive’ folder if present.
Windows 8
— Click «Desktop.»
— Launch a file explorer window (a folder for example or just press the windows key + the letter «E» at the same time)
— In the address bar at the top copy and paste the following then press «Enter»: %localappdata%/ (Make sure you press Enter, it may otherwise say ‘No items match your search’)
— Delete the ‘Sports Interactive’ folder if present.
Also delete this folder if it exists:
MyDocuments\Sports Interactive
Finally, please search you computer for other ‘Sports Interactive’ folders and delete them if they exist:
Windowskey+F and enter ‘Sports Interactive’

Jimmy, the problem is that you have a pirated copy, if you buy the game you wouldn’t have that problem. This real name fix refers only to competition names, award names and everything else that is listed in the post, it doesn’t fix the player names in illegal copies of the game.

No it is not — i have a legal game and everything is the same… so please stop saying ‘problem is in pirated version blah, blah’… just say ‘i don’t know’ because you don’t.

Fake player names in pirated copies is a well-known problem, so I guess you don’t know what you are talking about. If you can try to explain what your problem is I might try to help you.

Why is there a fake.Inc file in there? Isn’t that the file that keeps the german national team fake? In my game I have just deleted all the files in the ‘all’ folder, but I am afraid of that not holding up once the next patch is released?
Thanks in advance.

I have modified the fake.lnc file to show the real German national team, that’s why it’s still there.

Since adding this ‘Fix’ I have been unable to click on many of the award links i.e. the underline won’t appear when hovering over the award title/name meaning it won’t allow me to see past winners. I also can’t access the past winner list through the awards section under each competition.
Any suggestions?

I have the fix installed too and I can see awards history just fine, checked FIFA Ballon d’Or and Premier League awards as well. Not sure about the hyperlinked names, I assume the problem is in news, I was unable to verify that. However, since both you and me have the same fix installed and only you have those problems I can suppose that there’s something else to blame.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve attached two images to show you my issue:
http://imageshack.com/a/img812/5822/k7m8.png — This one shows you a hyperlink which is working
http://imageshack.com/a/img703/5672/r0e2.png — Then in this one you can see that there is no hyperlink option on the Ballon d’Or.
I’ll maybe just redownload and replace.

UPDATE: I’ve redownloaed the fix and it didn’t seem to do anything……

I checked and there’s no problem with the Ballon d’Or hyperlink in the search screen in my game. Also, the fix has nothing to do with those Portuguese awards. That said, I believe that re-downloading and re-installing this fix won’t do anything to solve your problem simply because it has nothing to do with the fix. I’m sorry but I don’t know how to solve your issue. Maybe re-install FM 2014 or verify game files on Steam?

Thanks Johnny. Currently verifying the game cache on Steam so hoping that will do the trick!

I haven’t install steam. so i can’t use this in my game? is that it?
Johnny Karp
8 января, 2014 at 18:45
If you haven’t installed Steam then you must have a pirated copy of the game. And that means the conversation ends here, we don’t support piracy.

Hi mate, after I downloaded it, I clicked to load my most recent saved game and it wouldn’t load, so I tried to go on ‘Load Game’ and load the game I selected but it wouldn’t load. I was wondering whether you knew anything I could do to get my game back?
Darren Smith
18 января, 2014 at 21:34
Sorry faults like that aren’t as a result of this download, so not sure what the problem is. I guess the first question is have you bought the game legally or downloaded a pirated copy?
Matt Blakemore
18 января, 2014 at 21:52
I’ve had it since it came out as a BETA version, so yeah, as legally as is possible! It must be something else, I’ve had a few problems with it lately.Do you know any way in which I can get back a game that’s no longer able to load? Thank you for any help you can give.
Darren Smith
18 января, 2014 at 22:31
Sorry mate, that is an issue for SI to solve. You should visit the SI forum and report your problem there, they will be able to offer technical help we can’t.
Matt Blakemore

Will do, cheers mate!

HOW THE FUCK CAN I FIND THE STEAM FOLDER???
Darren Smith
19 января, 2014 at 08:41
I think the instructions are very simple but to clarify it should be in your program files or program files (X86) unless you have illegally downloaded the game of course.

but if you bought a cd you can install it in any place you want
Darren Smith
30 января, 2014 at 12:04
I don’t think that is correct actually. You still have to activate through Steam and setup the game through steam regardless and to change these files it can be done through steam, which is very simple to do, hence the instructions, hence the comment. When you say any place you want, exactly what place are you talking about?

Did everything correct, but it still shows the fake names. Did it twice, actually. This is frustrating! Can someone, anyone, help me, please?
Johnny Karp
30 января, 2014 at 18:53
If you have followed the instructions then all the names that are supposed to be fixed are fixed. If it’s yet another comment about fake player names, then please read some of the comments above.

Hello mate!
After the 14.3 update the names went back to the old and wrong ones and i can’t find a way to put them back to the real ones. Any idea on this one?
Best wishes

Just figured it out. I was updating the 1400 folder instead of the 1430 one. Feeling quite stupid right now -_-‘

Johnny Karp

It does work, you just have to pay attention at the instructions:
«After patch 14.3 you also have to replace the “all” folder in Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Football Manager 2014>data>db>1430>lnc»

Hey man it’s not working and I don’t have 1430 folder on db. I have 1400.
Johnny Karp
28 апреля, 2014 at 14:34
It is working for thousands of people. If you don’t have that folder then I guess you haven’t installed the patch for some reason.

Does this fix the names of players in the premier league?
Johnny Karp
30 апреля, 2014 at 20:00
No, only a legal copy of the game would fix that.

Does this work on mac? It works with .dbc files but your download is .inc? Thanks.
Johnny Karp
30 июля, 2014 at 18:39
I think you are looking in the wrong folder, you have to find the lnc folder and not the dbc one. As far as I know they are the same on both Mac and Windows.
