Thanks. Great video! By the way... Is it possible to upload or add an entire name database for a specific country, or is the only option to type them manually one by one?
@@DodgeeGamer No, i'm talking about a database affecting the variety and reality of newgen/regen players. For instance like players with dual citizenships like Swiss-Albanian or Swiss-Kosovar players not having swiss names when generated in either of those countries. I've been managing a club in Kosovo and every regen player with dual nationality (like German) had a german name no matter where he was born. In real life that not the case. Meritan Shabani born in Germany to Kosovar Albanian parents in Munich doesn't have a German name. The same goes for any Albanian born i Denmark. They're all having Albanian names. My idea is also being able to provide a wider range of first names and surnames in smaller countries like Faroe Islands which tends to be very limited. It seems like you are very good with the editor and knowing things that i can't get my head around :)
@@DodgeeGamer Thanks anyway :) I did it manually on earlier FM's, but i took a long time adding every regen name :) I was just wondering if there was an easier way to get around that issue.
@@DodgeeGamer My thought was that as well as you can create separate folders for any country in the editor folder with logos, kits etc, perhaps there was a way to add to add list of names, too.
Thanks for the video, but i wonder if there's a fix for other national teams, like for example 20s teams, 17s teams, because the problem is, that sometimes the teams squad look normal but other time they're not. And i don't know why. Can you please share with me how to fix this. And am not talking about Germany or Japan, am talking about other nations like in Africa or Asia, when there squads it's not fix always, also another problem is the number of teams in each continent (African and Asian champions league). All the arabs countries have an isssues which there teams still on 0 points and in a result they cannot add other teams than one team in the next year, hope you understand me greetings
That can be due to lack of players in the database. Minnow nations often only have a handful of players in the game, especially if you have a small or medium database loaded so their national teams, youth teams and club sides in continetal competition might show up as mainly greyed out
@@patrykw-kg9984 I started new game because FM updated and I have half od third season and now everything is ok. I played EC with germany team, but I fired after. 😅 But Japan and Germany are still playable.
Thanks a million. This works for me but by 2026, it stops working and both squads begin only calling up generic/fake players. did you run into such and what can I do to fix.
Have you also applied one of the other name fixes? If you have filledy instructions for real competion names, for example, you might have deleted the other files already!
@@DodgeeGamer no was my first time doing anything like this. I've downloaded kits and logo packs in the meantime and all been successful. Any ideas what can be done to try get the German team? Appreciate the help

@@DodgeeGamer sorry to ask a question two months later if you did not click advanced setup would it not work
@@austinberwick4927 Not when I tried it - quick start still had Germany and Japan greyed out
@@DodgeeGamer by any chance do you have a badge fix
The game releases weeks before a World Cup, and SI drops the ball in addressing international management ….. sad

Thank youu.😊

Thanks. Great video!

I have problems,now i can play Germany but can’t play euro cup ,any one know what to do?
can it applied to saved game?
It worked but got rid of my face pack mod any reason why?
I change before i start a new game and it works but suddenly japan n germany team become unavailable during my 3rd season, idk why though?
Did you find a solution to this?
@@sergeystolyarov3250 I have the same problem, wtf? Before Euro 2024 Germany and Japan become unavailable and have fake players
Same here
same here

I’m not having any luck. Can someone who uses Epic games tell me how they did it?
Rock Lee > Gaara
Is there a way to get the u23 because i believe they are missing
I think the U23 teams only become available if/when you go to the Olympics
@@DodgeeGamer thanks for the quick response!
tq uncle
I just don´t have the lnc files. What should I do?
If you don't have them, then you should have the fix applied already
@DodgeeGamer I mean whole ,,all,, file
What a guy
Does this affect new-gens at all
Thanks a million. This works for me but by 2026, it stops working and both squads begin only calling up generic/fake players. did you run into such and what can I do to fix.
Have you updated the game with the 22.3 or 22.4 patch? If so, you will need to apply the fix again to the 2300, 2330 and 2340 folders
@@DodgeeGamer you were right lol, the 2300 was not done but 2400 was.
Doesnt work for me
i did it but the in game doesnt work after this... erorr code 1000
how i can fix it?
Never encountered this problem.... Did you delete anything else by mistake? Check your Recycle Bin just in case
I have followed this and nleague Inc is the only one out of the three available to delete. Any ideas?? Would really appreciate some advise
Have you also applied one of the other name fixes? If you have filledy instructions for real competion names, for example, you might have deleted the other files already!

@@hazzaw12 fake.lnc is the file that needs to be deleted
Thank's a lot man ! Is it possible to fix the real name of Japan League too ?
What’s the Japanese league called
J1 League
yes, I am working on a video for that now
how do you have them in the game even without managing them
The fix will work whether you manage the teams or not
for some reason i can only have the real players if i manage either germany or japan... even after deleting the files@@DodgeeGamer
goat
does Netherlands have the real players?
Yes, this year they do (still called Holland instead of Netherlands though)
@@DodgeeGamer thank you!
Japanese league real players?
Is that applied with the existing game?
This has to be done before starting a save
does this work on fm24 for Mac
Yes, and I have another guide video sitting how to do it on FM24 coming out tomorrow
Can you fix the fm mobile to?
I am not sure to be honest - I will investigate!
And fm 23 mobile please
How about the mobile one?
been searching for this too
does this only work on new saves?
Yes, unfortunately
Think it will work for the ongoing save when the new international call up happens
Is there a way to get them unlocked on the cellphone version?
I don't think so, unfortunately
