Steps for making a DB 16-17 :


Prerequisite:
- install FIFA Manager 16-17
- Get the latest World database 16-17 (see with JJacq)
- get the Calculation Table (Règle à calcul in french) (see below in this topic)
- install the UltraPack Portraits 16-17 and its add-on.
- install the Megapack Badges 16-17 and Updates.
- Work on a copy of the Database directory, in case of trouble... See Tutorial: http://fifa-club-manager-forum.fr/viewt ... =18&t=3404 (this database must only be a work copy)

For information on clubs, use the official website, Facebook of clubs, websites of Federations, and http://www.transfermarkt.fr or
http://www.footballdatabase.eu
A website that can help in statistics : http://www.bdfutbol.com/en/index.html


Generic method :

- Create 3 "False" clubs in a country without a championship, like Gabon, for example:
1 club to send players who Without Club, Free agents (name this club : FREE AGENTS)
1 Club to send retired players, or dead : mrgreen: (name this club : RETIRED)
1 Club to send players transferred abroad (name this club : TRANSFER OUT BDD)

Fullfill the rosters of the clubs, transferring players coming from elsewhere, or if they don’t exist in the World database, create them.
But you must have a minimum of information to create a player, and if you do not have them, invent nothing, just do not create the player.


For each Club :

- Do the roster of the First team, and if possible the Reserves and Juniors, not to mention the staff.
Create a Player only if his position (or at least the line in which he plays => G / Def / Mil / Att), and his date of birth are known. If these data are missing, do not create the player.
- Collect Badge if missing or out of date and name it with the ID of the Club. (See official website of the club, or Facebook or Wikipedia).
- Update club’s data if needed but above all don’t modify the Initial Capital, Individual TV rights and sponsors.
- Don’t modify the Leagues data (Tv rights, Calendar games days ...)
- think about doing regular saves of the database, it happens that the Editor crashes.


For each player:

- Search for a player's picture if missing or too old. Warning ! think about the "Head" must be at least 160x160 pixels. Naming the photo with the player ID. A nice site to find photos already clipped: http://www.metafootball.com/comp-overvi ... ic_leagues
- Characters, Influence, Historic, height and weight if you have them, or choose values that seem logical.
- Check that the experience level (need to have the indicator in green not in red)
- select Position / Styles / levels / Abilities (see Tables below)
- Check the 3D face from its portrait if it exists or if recovered.
- choose the shirt number, ensuring that there are no duplicates.
- Assign a specific shoe color.
- Name the captain.

- Once the club ends up, save it (.clb). Useful in case of corrupted BDD.

Finally :

Once the database is complete, save the FREE AGENTS and TRANSFER OUT BDD clubs (.clb) (jjacq will managed the transfers of these players in the official Worldwide 16-17 database.)
Then delete the 3 “false” clubs in your editor, deleting in one time all the players.
Save your database (in the editor)

Look for the 3 Country files (in the database folder of the game) Countrydata**.sav + Countryfixture**.sav + Countryscript**.sav (** will be the ID of the country you work on – list of countries ID available in the editor with the assistant)
And you will send them to JJacq adding the FREE AGENTS and TRANSFER OUT BDD clubs in .clb indicating in which country these 2 “false” clubs were created.


Example of working method:

Phase 1 :
Sort existing players, sending them where they must go.
- Transfers in another club in the country
- FREE AGENTS
- RETIREMENT
- TRANSFER OUT BDD

Phase 2:
update all the players already present (Level / talent / historic / etc ...)

Phase 3:
Transfers player from abroad and update them.
Creation of missing players.

Phase 4:
Checking some mistakes
Assistant => resolution bp Database
Check "Experience" and "Player History"
And correct the errors or warnings for your BDD.

Good realization of DB ! :mrgreen:

Assigning the Level of a Player


Basic level by country (this value is indicated for a player with 23 years old at the beginning of the game)
All these values are already registered in the editor.

Rules for allocating a player's level

Here is an Excel version of the Calculation Rule that will make your job easier (for those who have what to read this kind of file)
http://lfp-manager.fr/patchs/lfp17/Nive ... P16-17.zip

.pdf version of the Basic Levels tab by country, so you can view it more easily or print it :
http://lfp-manager.fr/patchs/lfp17/Base ... calcul.pdf

:alerte: Attention :alerte: Do not try to revolutionize the level of players, A Star player whose current level would be much higher than that found with our method should not be too diminished, or the reverse :mrgreen:
Our calculation rule is above all a base for a standard (or average) player.

Choosing the talent of a player


Here, as a baseline, the distribution of players by Talent of certain countries / divisions in the database of FIFA Manager 15-16.
Image

Inspire yourself from this info to choose the talent you want to assign.

As for the Level , do not try to revolutionize the Talent of the players.

If you are in doubt, or afraid of doing wrong, we can discuss a specific rule for the country on which you are working :clin1:

Choice of Player Style


Here is a table listing the preferred abilities for each Style
Image

The longer the green gauge is, the more the player will use this ability
The longer the red gauge , the less the player will use this ability

Make your choice according to your own criteria if you know the player for example, and especially vary the Styles player, especially for the same position.
Do not make only offensive Right Full Back, defensive Centre Back, Centre Forward finisher...
Vary and make reappear some styles completely missing in many DB.

Hello Jjacq!
Where are the pictures of the players stored?
In case I want to add the picture of a player, where do I replace the old one with the new one?

Merci

As with have not add player picture in Fifa Manager 16-17, the ones you see in the editor should be those of the original Fifa Manager 14.
Or maybe you install an old Player picture patch (like our Ultrapack for Fifa manager 15-16)

If you want to add your new pictures you can put them here, in .png format.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA Manager 14\portraits\club\160x160

ok, so if you have just install our Fifa manager 16-17 on the original game, the pics of the players you see are in the art**.big files of the game. (in a compressed format)
It's only original pics. (because we add no pics in the game - we are working on a specific patch)
You can't delete them or replace them in these compressed files :clin1:
You need specific tools to open these files, looking on it, or deleting, extracting, or anything else.

If you find new pics by your own and want to replace the existing ones that are in the art**_big (pics must be in 160*160 pixels and png format, named with ID of the player)
you can create by your own the structure folder needed to store them :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA Manager 14\portraits\club\160x160

Then your pics will be used in place of original ones, or for players that don't have any.

Hello,

I want to help you with the edition of Spanish League database. In recent years I have created a patch for the Spanish league to add a category below the third division (with a script created by ORei from spanish forum) named Preferente, creating players in youth age and filling in club squads and their information. If you are interested in my help here I am for you.

Thank you!
