This file
will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to 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.
The sortitoutsi real
names fix changes the instances of fake
names in Football Manager 17 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 National team doesn'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, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with media files added to encompass all 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.
For all these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.https://sortitoutsi.net/downloads/view/29149/fm2017-real-names-and-german-national-team-fix-file-beta-v11-for-fm17-beta-20102016
