some tips to convert the formations? I made the brazilian players, but the formations are wrong and i don´t know how import from cm16

You can try importing the teams table, formations table and default_teamsheets table from the update into the older db. Transferring players from one db to another is easy, but team info gets tricky depending on what's been changed around. If you've never done it, it might be a headache. IMO, stick with the db formations you have, and just change them in-game using the team editing feature. Much easier. Formations really don't make that big a difference, plus teams in real life never stick to one specific formation anyway, so it's not a big deal.

Great work Fidel! Thanks for resurrecting good old CM16 :')


I would like to "take back to life" players with specific face from FIFA 17, 16, etc, which are no longer in FIFA 18 (such as Xavi, Sagna, Lahm, Kolo Toure, etc...).

I just change the "Player ID" value from another player on CM16, edit info and skills and uncheck "has generic face". Now, in game, this player has the specific face of the "Player ID" I selected in CM16.

The only problem is we can't edit players names in this version, so, in game, they mantain the name from the previous "Player ID". Is there any way we can edit names??

Thanks in advance!

That's not the way the game works. Players have a specific ID that no other player has, or will ever have. So there's no "previous" player, there's just the one original player who EA assigned that ID to.

Anyway, names for any player ID can be edited/added to the editedplayernames table in the db.

This is a great tool, I'm loving the editing with CM again. I thought those days were over. Shows how great the community is with people like Bangus even offering support to a third-party tool.

Massive respect and passion from the modding community.

I tried to use my edited fifa 18db to convert to fifa 16 db to use CM16 but still not working :(. I dont know what did wrong
Click to expand...
You have to post a detailed explanation of what you tried. Without knowing that, there's nothing anyone can help you with. Start by explaining the steps you took to convert your 18 db into a 16 db.

Any chance to edit it so we can add more commentary names etc?
Click to expand...
Zero chance of that. But you can better utilize the names that are already in the game by increasing the number of players who have commentary names assigned. Edit the last names of players with no commentary ID, and assign them an active commentary last name. Change names like "Smithe", Smithies", Smits, "Smith-Brown" etc., to "Smith" for example. I used to do that a couple years back until I discovered the joy of playing the game without the annoyingly repetitive commentary. Now I play with just on-pitch sounds. No more worries about players who don't have commentary names, and a lot less editing work as well lol.

I have this issue too. I’ve started adding the missing surnames by searching sofifa using nationality, club and dob. If you look, it’s generally the very young players.

Yea I allready do things like you said... I prefer to play with Russian teams but with English commentaries... There are so much players that rly need an audio. Anyway there are some commentaries that are not assigned to players but audio exist... Like Kombarov for example... Creation Master helped alot for that things in previous Fifa's versions

Creation Master isn't much help because it doesn't tell you which name IDs are still active and which aren't. The fact is most of those older commentary names are no longer active, even though they're listed as having an active commentary ID in the playernames table. The only way to know is to test each individual name in-game, and that would take weeks of testing. I know because I've tried lol. For every 10 names you test, you might come across 2-3 that are still active. IMO, it's a colossal waste of time given you might discover a couple dozen still-active names at best.

A much easier project and IMO a better audio experience is to REMOVE all players' commentary names. I used to do that all the time with the Aussie League. Most players in lower leagues (and in your Russian league) already have no commentary. So it's just a matter of editing the 4-5 players on each team that do, and remove their commentary name. The commentary sounds 100% better with Martin Tyler doing basic play-by-play, and without saying players' names. It's a refreshing balance of less word noise and more pure football sound.

Using the playernames table as a guide, you can take your Russian league players and remove their small handful of commentary names. That would take you 2-3 hours to edit the entire league. Whereas adding active commentary names for all players on every team would take you weeks of editing and testing. But it all depends on what you like to spend your time on. I prefer to be playing the game, rather than editing it for months.

Yes u are right. But helped for fast asigning... I spend a days to test all commentary names for Russian league and for Serbian players too lol... I helped to FifaSerbia in previous versions for making Superliga,so that was one of jobs :D ... I have a list of Serbian players (fifa 14,15,16) who can have commentary names :D... Near to 30 names,wich is much better then nothing,some names are repeating so that is for sure more then 50 players...The problem is latest letter in name like,is it ć or c...etc... Have list for Russian league too,but is much much smaller then this... Thats why I said Cm helped,cuz I already know what players can have it,just need fast assign :D
