I saw that even mass editing of awards is possible now.
However i discovered that under certain circumstances it will break them. Happens only with certain awards and i couldn`t figure out what causes it.
Discovered it in Slovenia. Added more awards in FM Touch via FMRTE. And a change to the existing player of the year award. I think it was from "of the season" to "of the year" caused all awards to only take non-competitive matches into account, essentially breaking the awards.
I know that is maxing out tools to customize FM Touch, but it might very well happen anywas and in the full version.
Just a head up. :-)
Hi linie,
It could be just how the game manages the awards, or it could be something with the timing. It might be wise to change award settings on the beginning of a new season, instead of mid-way through, as it might throw the game's data off.
Did you try this with mass-edit, or did you only change one award at a time?
Finally, editing awards added with FMRTE sounds a bit risky to me, as I don't know whether FMRTE has the awards figured out completely in order to add a brand new one. They certainly don't allow the customisation FMSE allows, so I wouldn't know what kind of values they're adding when creating a new one.
I'd try editing awards without touching them with FMRTE if I were you.
In FMRTE you can only adjust awards reputation and switch existing ones. So the only way as of now to add awards in FM Touch. Meaning from one nation to another. Those get switched on once a new league is added or if the nation or competition has existing ones.
I use that to add awards from leagues i do not load (usually national level, player of the yer etc.) to leagues i do want to play in and that don`t have them. Sweden is a good example of awards.
I always adjust all award at the beginning of the game and do not touch them afterwards.
Didn`t use mass edit as i find it to risky to be honest. :-)
But tested it in Slovenia, added the italian nation wide (no competition) youth awards (Goalkeeper, Midfielder,... of the Year) to Slovenia and it works. The moment i make an adjustment (beginning of the year) to the existing Slovenian Player of the Year it messes it up. Also tested it with Italy not loaded, same resulr. Didn`t occur before when i added similar awards to Finland and Norway...so it might be the Award itself, cannot figure out why that would be the case though.
What i haven`t tried though is to remove the existing Player of the year award and replace it, might very well work. But i got worked up over it because i started to play already and than that game became worthless of course. The one time i did not holiday to test before. Haha.
