Hello,

As is my wont, I often use the editor to put "myself" into the game and to change a few bits in the game.

I created a Player and set the various attributes (person data - attributes, plater data - reputations, positions, attributes 1, attributes 2, preferred moves etc) to my preferred choices (I'll admit, I've made myself a VERY attractive proposition) but these attribute settings don't seem to reflect when the database was loaded in a new game?

The same goes for changes I made to some of my Scouts/Coaches to improve their training ability/judging player ability stuff - they are WORSE than the first game I started before the patch with an unmodified database.

Other changes such as financial/debt, transfer budgets have gone through without a problem.

Can someone provide an uptodate guide to the FM08 editor or, if so, advise me of where I made errors.

You should change potential ability.
Its very important to take effect on what you've already done.

I changed potential ability to a fixed figure...191, I think.

I set some of the attributes to 20 but they only show as 8 or 9 in the game?

Same for coaches - their attributes appear to be lower than reality despite me amending them higher.

Did you save changes you've done?
Did you save your changed database?

You cannot set too many attributes to 20.

Also the starting figures are based on the CA, so you can start at 9 but reach 20 with the right training.
