released-yet

Step 1:

Go to:

(for PC Steam users)

Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager
2022\data\database\db\2200
AND
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager
2022\data\database\db\2201
AND
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager
2022\data\database\db\2210

[\Program Files (x86)\ could be \Program Files\ depending on your set up.]

(for PC Gamepass users)

Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Football Manager 2022\data\database\db\2200
AND
Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Football Manager 2022\data\database\db\2201
AND
Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Football Manager 2022\data\database\db\2210

(for PC Epic Games users)

Program Files\Epic Games\FootballManager2022\data\database\db\2200
AND
Program Files\Epic Games\FootballManager2022\data\database\db\2201
AND
Program Files\Epic Games\FootballManager2022\data\database\db\2210

(for Mac users)

USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football
Manager 2022 \ Data \ db \ 2200
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football
Manager 2022 \ Data \ db \ 2201
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football
Manager 2022 \ Data \ db \ 2210

You can find these folders by clicking, in the Finder, the Go menu in the menu bar,
then choose Go to Folder and type the folder path name (obviously inserting your
username), then click Go.

(Mac Lion users)

use the above path, but the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to learn
how to display it: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-
x-lion/
Step 2:

Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folders above, but leave the 22xx_fm
folder alone. I repeat, you must DELETE the dbc, edt and lnc folders.
Replacing/merging won't see all the changes implemented

Step 3:

Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folders from this download into the folders mentioned in
step 1.

Step 4:

Go to:
(on PCs)
Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2022 (or your user data folder if
you have changed the path)

(on Macs)
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive

By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:

Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’
-> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2022'

Step 5:

Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein.

Step 6:

Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and copy the
11 files included within the editor data folder.
Step 7:

Paste these 11 files into the folder mentioned in step 5. Accept any overwrite
prompts. If done correctly, the path and files should look like this:

To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and
EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and
Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, Japanese
national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up,
and not instantly.

Although it was created for FM13, the steps are broadly similar.
