FM19 Editor VS FM18 Editor

Starting with the Advanced Rules section, you’ll notice that there are more options available than in previous years. This is the result of much work standardising the code that is used across all of the editable competitions. The new advanced rules options include making edits involving national service, more money options and expanded fixture scheduling rules.

Also added in additional help for those editing competitions. This is displayed in the form of tooltips, which are present to show when additional (and very specific) functionality exists for a competition that can’t otherwise be replicated by the rest of the advanced rules.

Video Assistant Referees (VAR) and goal-line technology, now present in the main game, can be set for certain competitions via database editing. With advanced rules you’re also able to set if VAR should be used only for particular types of matches or stages within a competition.

Awards have also had a rejig, with proper validation occurring to make sure that you’re only able to create awards that are workable in the game. In prior years you could pair together many different options for awards in the database, regardless of whether they would function in-game. This year certain options will be unselectable if another field has been set which contrasts with those options.

    Is there a way to download the Pre-Game Editor for the Windows Store game version? Is it possible to download it standalone?
