"if you edit players already in the game it works"
Not for me it doesn't. I haven't created any new players, only edited existing players. I've tried several times, and I know I'm doing it the right way - I've played FM for years and never had this problem. I even checked Game Status, and the correct number of database changes made are displayed. So in theory, all the changes should be there, but they're not. The weird thing is, certain changes ARE saved, some are not. Could this have anything to do with CA/PA? Do these need to correspond with changes made to attributes somehow?
EDIT: Most of the changes I've made are in different attributes. To take one specific player as an example: I changed Strength from 14 to 15 - this hasn't changed in the game. I changed Determination from 18 to 19 - this change IS in the game. I changed Positioning from 13 to 15 - this is now 14 in game. This doesn't make any sense. What's the point with an editor if the editor decides how seriously it's gonna take the changes? Stupid.
