FM 2014 Tools - FM Editor Live 2014
FM Editor Live 2014 is a simple real time editor for Football Manager 2014 that allows you to edit data of your loaded FM14 save-game on the fly. FMEL is the only real-time editor that works with the FMC mode, and the only one that is free to use.

FMEL 2013 was released last February and it was the only free real-time editor for FM13. Its simplicity, speed and flawless functionality made it popular fast; counting over 250,000 downloads to this day. These characteristics remain in this new FM14 compatible version.

FMEL is exclusively available from fmscout.com

Features

FMEL allows you to search for the club, person or stadium of your choice and edit:

Clubs
  • Reputation
  • Chairman Status
  • Training Facilities
  • Youth Facilities
  • Junior Coaching
  • Youth Recruitment Network
  • Transfer Budgets (Season and Remaining)
  • Wage Budget
  • Maximum Wage
  • Overall Balance
  • Kit Colors (icon, shorts, socks, text, shirt)
  • Heal Team / Destroy Team *

Persons
  • Heal / Destroy (condition, jadedness)
  • Birthday
  • Nationality
  • Height / Weight
  • Foot
  • CA / PA
  • Fitness / Match Fitness / Jadedness / Condition
  • Reputation (Current, Home, World)
  • Positions
  • Contracts (wage and end date)
  • Relations
  • Heal / Destroy *
  • Attributes (view only)

Stadiums
  • Name
  • Capacity
  • Seating Capacity
  • Expansion Capacity

* Heal not only heals injuries but also changes the player's condition to 100% and clears his jadedness. Destroy is the exact opposite.

FMEL is a simple editor that allows you to quickly adjust information of clubs, persons and stadiums. It should be safe to use it, but at any case make sure to keep a backup of your savegame before using.

How to use

1. Extract the downloaded FMELv2.0.zip in a folder of your choice.

2. Run Football Manager 2014, and load your save game (or start a new one).

3. Run FMEditorLive.exe (ALT+TAB to desktop first if you're running FM full screen).

4. Click the "Load Game" button.

5. Enter club's name in the Search input box and hit Enter.



6. Double-click on the club's row. Edit what you wish in the 4 tabs available (Information, Finances, Kits, Teams) and click Save.






Double-click on the person's row. Edit what you like and click Save.







Double-click on the stadium's row. Edit what you like and click Save.




Known Issues

If you close FM14 before FMEL14, the app will crash and trigger error popups. To avoid this, please close FMEL14 before closing FM14. Otherwise, you'll have to terminate the FMEL process using Windows Task Manager.

    (STILL KEEP GETTING THIS)Keep getting this error message (Year,Month and day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime) when i try and load FMEL. Save game is fine, and my FM version is 14.3.1. The game was bought in England. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Good job on this rather handy tool. I just wanted to request the addition of personality attributes like Ambition, Professionalism etc. to the list of editable attributes since these are useful in making a difficult player into a model professional and helps them achieve their PA. Regarding the editing of attributes and the effects people are observing on their player attributes, I can tell from past experience of using FMRTE:

    Changing CA/PA affects player attributes, sometimes seemingly randomly.

    Changing any of the physical/mental(like concentration, decisions)/technical attributes changes the CA.

    Changing the positions a player can play in can change the CA if it's totally different from their original playable positions, e.g. Striker changed to Wing-back. This is because for different positions, different attributes cost different amounts of the CA. So, for a Wing-back, a 15 in tackling will cost more than it would for a Striker.

    Some attributes do not cost any CA, so any change in them should not affect CA. Determination, the Hidden atributes like injury proneness, Personality attributes like ambition, professionalism etc. and even the set pieces attributes.

    Flair and Bravery, I'm not sure about. They apparently cost some CA forspecific positions, such as Bravery for defensive players/flair for offensive. But these remain unconfirmed.
  • ljs1992's avatar
    Definitely agree with some of the posters below.

    The new version of this app is way too buggy, avoid using it guys.

    Since the addition of the attribute editing this thing went downhill.

    When they fix that, it should be great again.

    Save in the program starts normally, but after using the search program generates an error. What to do?
  • snowbird's avatar
    Hi, I am able to change the PA & CA of several players after giving them a shirt number but now their passing and technique stats decreased drastically.

    Is this some bug?
  • Henke25's avatar
    Haychee, try to give the player a shirtnumber. Then it might be solved.
  • Haychee's avatar
    Hey Stam, brilliantly update and thanks for your programme.

    I have encountered difficulties when trying to edit a player on FMEL with a pop-up showing the following message:
    System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Value of '-1' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'.
    Parameter name: Value
    (note that this is only part of the message as I don't want to spam this page)

    I couldn't even open the player's information and it keeps popping-up whenever I try to edit his information. It's not a regen player or a player from lower division, it's Ibrahim Afella fro FC Barcelona. I just want to know if this is the problem with my save only, or it's a persistent problem. Thank you Stam anyway and it's a brilliant app.
  • ptbg1203's avatar
    Not to be a critic, but I think that (as many people have mentioned) when changing the ca and pa,it just does not retain the characteristics of the player, and it just ends up making a playmaker into a centerback..... (The stats get mixed up regardless of the original style of the player) I hope this gets updated improved on sometime soon.

    Hi

    im fairly new to this. I thought I would use the editor because im an Oldham fan and due to the financial fair play rule it prevents me from buying players I want to.

    is there a way of taking this off with the editor?

    I have also just used the editor to transfer a player over who has just moved away from Oldham (back to Norwich), but when I change the contract in the player, he remains at the club, but his contract is non existent?
  • ljs1992's avatar
    Any updates on this, Stam?

    I'd really like to be able to continue with one of my saves, but I can't considering some of my best players rated at 50+ million dollars have a "7" for passing after using FMEL lol.

    Is there going to be a way to restore the "default" attributes?

    Or, is there going to be a way to edit the attributes w/o bugs?

    Basically.. am I stuck with my players having awful ratings for passing, penalties, and etc or will the FMEL update / fix address that?

    thanks.
  • devil_3565's avatar
    Thank you. I would like to know if there is any way to edit the staff attributes as well. I am unable to do it with this tool.
  • Krzysiek2099's avatar
    I have bug after saving. I edited only PA and Important Matches but tool changed also Technique and Passing. And I cant restore old stats via FMEL, because tool always reduce these stats.
  • MuRTaX's avatar
    Hi Stam,

    First, thanks for you and developers, it is very useful tool.
    But it always gives error when i want to edit "loan players". I dont know this is a known error or not ?

    You can see the detailed error of Exception.

  • Henke25's avatar
    Sounds nice. There are safe stats to edit. Such as determination and hidden skills. I have not experienced any bugs with the heal or refresh button.
  • Stam's avatar
    Well, I suppose Easter time means vacation time for the team working on FMEL because I'm having a hard time reaching our guys the past few days. Whenever they get back to work, I've requested to either disable attributes editing completely or at least disable editing of technical attributes (which appear to be bugged).

  • dante10's avatar
    @ljs1992 I've got the same problem :/ FMEL is corrupting player attributes after healing or refreshing.
  • ljs1992's avatar
    I haven't been editing any attributes, but I HAVE been hitting "Refresh / save" on my players (after healing an injury..)

    Now I've got players like Kroos, Gotze, and Muller with a 7 rating for passing and technique. I can't edit them back to normal, and I don't know what their original attributes were!

    Will the fixed version of FMEL be able to reverse those changes? I'm afraid I might have ruined an awesome save because of this...

    Or, if I can at least get the attribute editing to work, then I would be okay with that. Obviously that would be better than not being able to change it at all. But, yeah this is really annoying for sure.

    The changes I make to those attributes don't even appear in game.
  • RushNJ's avatar
    @glenbino and Henke, as i said before you don't get the -1 value error if you give that player a shirt number.
  • glenbino's avatar
    I've been able to get around the -1 value prompt happening by playing guys for one game with my senior team.

    It's worked for everyone I've tried it with, including regens and the real players that I mentioned earlier.
  • tom-millwall's avatar
    Keep getting this error message (Year,Month and day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime) when i try and load FMEL. Save game is fine, and my FM version is 14.3.1. The game was bought in England. Can anyone help? Thanks.
  • youlee's avatar
    @usert4 yeah it should work that's what I did and then around january time the board got a random sponsor of like 60 mil but the balance didn't change from when I had edited it earlier. Don't know if it's related I just assumed cause the club had a massive balance they were able to get sponsors

  • glenbino's avatar
    I'm getting the -1 value error in a bunch of random place in my save. Right now I'm in 2017, and it happens with every regen I've tried to edit so far.

    I don't know if it's solely an age thing or not, but it also seems to be affecting younger real world players as well. I wasn't able to edit Islam Feruz or Tony Watt, among others, when I tried.
