Unlock Germany, China, South Korea and Japan national teams in FM14

As with previously installments of Football Manager, FM14 has certain files that prevent you from managing certain national teams and from current real players showing up in their rosters due to licensing issues.

The national teams with the problem:

• Germany
• China
• South Korea
• Japan

How to fix

Fixing this is relatively simple, but the effects will only apply to games you have created after fixing it.

Go to:

Windows
Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ football manager 2014 \ data \ db \ 1400 \ lnc \ all

Mac
[username] > library > Application support > Steam > steamapps >common > football manager 2014 > data > db > 1400 > lnc > all

Here you will find 3 or more files:

• fake.lnc
• lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc
• nleague.lnc.

Simply delete these 3 files and create a new savegame or wait until the next time international squads are announced on your current savegame. (thanks Smexter)

You need to repeat this process with the 1430 folder as well.

Here is the complete list of what is unlocked by deleting them:

• National teams of Germany, China, South Korea and Japan become playable.
• Enable player pics for national teams of The Netherlands and France.
• Fix real name of Oliver Kahn (he's with nickname Jens Mustermann).
• Fix names for various Danish, Swedish and French competitions.
• Restore real players for the team Albirex Niigata (Singapore).
• Fix colors and names for various clubs, stadiums, cities in Asian countries.
