The following patch regards leagues and teams dating from the season 1979 onward. This date was used as a reference point to catch up with some players at the dawning of their careers such as Gerd Muller, and some others at their beginnings such as Maradona. We're talking about players born approximately between 1948-1964, and not above. It would be foolish to see Platini as a teammate of Zidane (the purpose is to conquer titles with the good teams back then). The database covers around 7,000 footballers of that golden era.
The rosters are real, there are leagues with teams of that era, the three European cups involving the participating countries back then (for example there are no teams from Ukraine, Slovakia, Croatia) but they're included in countries like USSR, Yugoslavia, West Germany etc. We have in place the limit of 2 or 3 foreign players, the old point system of 2-1-0 and maximum roster limit from 23 to 25 individuals, as well as some future transfers remained in history.
The database was created over the existing one to prevent crashing, so it's important that you add photos of 80s players (around 3,800) in order for their profiles to not show the pics of players from today.
We have the old club logos, using stadiums of that era such as Comunale-Juventus, coaches from that time, as well as the pics of the old kits.
Included for the first time the NASL with teams in the likes of NY Cosmos with Pele, Beckenbauer, and other major aces.

I noticed that after the first year, I was with Ajax, several players in my team changed the name into the actual player (ex: bouma instead of meutstege, and many others). Did I do something wrong?

good morning
I might update for those who loaded the db after the 1431 Update, and knowledgeable roster of seasons will find some changes. Because all the work was done before 1430 the new update has little affect the roster and names .... now on, edit 1 to 1 teams and will follow new update. eg the Real Madrid 's palyer Pizzi has renamed as Xavi and Damiani of Naples has renamed as Robinho, if this happens in your game you can expect the update
I FOLLOWED ALL CORRECT PROCEDURE AND IT DOESN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE EDITOR FILE. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

As for the finances of groups I have not even bother !
probably have to do update in the comments below you'll see that you'll find the link
My editor also can't find the database files, I'm not sure if it is the editor's problem or what.
Other than that, awesome database, I can see a lot of hard work has been put into it.
