FM 15 Live Database Update

[JL94x4]

Hello all!

I'd like to introduce to you the first truly live football manager update for FM 15, gone are the days of waiting for release dates, gone are the times when you have to rely one one person to do thousands of changes (and potentially miss things out) now comes a system where you can download the update whenever you want, further more, you can even contribute to make the update the perfect update before you download it.

What makes the update live, how does it work?
The update is maintained by everyone, anyone and anybody can submit a change to the database, and providing its a real transfer that happened, it will be approved within a few hours, once that change has been approved its ready for you to download so you can enjoy the new transfer in your game! This means that thousands of thousands of people can contribute to the update at the same time, meaning the array of users should help keep all leagues updated.

Doesn't that open it up to abuse?
No. The changes are moderated internally by a group of people, when a change is submitted, a link of proof to show that transfer happened is required, if that link is invalid, or incorrect, or even fictional, the change is rejected.

Do i need to get ID's for players and clubs from the official editor?
No. Its a simple case of searching the player you want to move in our system, clicking one of "Transfer, loan or release" and fill out the details, the club hes transferring/loaning to and from, and a link to the proof that it actually happened.

What if i submit an incorrect change by mistake?
Worry not, it simply won't be accepted by our moderation team.

What changes do you support?
At the moment, you can transfer players, release, loan players and transfer/release staff too. We are currently working on implementing swapping teams from one league to another, but obviously that will only be used for when leagues finish and Promotions and Relegations are officially confirmed.

So how can i contribute?
Click here, under the download now you'll find tools to search the database to make changes

Small Update!

First i'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to the database up to now, its really appreciated and without you it wouldn't be what it is today!

We now have a message system where you can discuss any transfer being accepted, if for any reason it falls through, is inaccurate or incorrect you can now let us know!

Click here and beside any accepted change in the list there will be a "discussion" link to the left, click that and it will take you to the change page, which will include any notes that have been left when it was moderated. You can use this for any of the following;

- Report an inaccurate transfer (e.g if its a loan but we have it as transfer)
- Report an incorrect transfer (e.ge if the transfer simply didn't happen)
- A transfer fell through even though it was confirmed

You can not use this feature to talk about how good certain players are in the game, or to talk about the transfer in general and the effect the player will have on his new team in real world football.

We hope you enjoy this new feature!

New features 14/02/2015

- Loan 'future fee' is now working as it should, and the game no longer generates random future fees for any loans in our database
- You can now set contract expiry dates for players that are transferring from club to club. If a player signs a new contract, you can do this, just transfer him from his current club, to his current club, only changing the contract expiry date.
- It is now possible to search for players/staff who only have two letters, something that was very brought up via PM quite a lot.

Once again i'd like to thank everyone who has submitted to our update, throughout the January transfer window, the updat wouldn't be the same without you!

We are always looking for ways to improve our update, if you have any ideas on what we could do to improve our update, feel free to message me via private message, all ideas will be considerated.

Major feature announcement - 18/02/2015

We have now improved our system which works better for you (the ones submitting data) and us (the ones approving data), not only that we have also implemented the following changes;

- You can now submit Promotions and Relegations, the best way to do this without creating errors is to transfer the bottom team (relegation) with the top team (promotion), 2nd place (promotion) and 2nd bottom (relegation) and so on for each league you are promoting/relegating
- You can now submit new contracts that have been signed in real life
- Contract expiry date can now be set when moving players on permanent transfers

Again, we look forward to your submissions as without you we wouldn't be able to have such a brilliant update, but please if a change has already been submitted, don't re-submit it again, noto only are you wasting your time, it means we have to waste our time moderating changes that already exist.

I know a few leagues in the world of football have finished, mainly Norway (this league should be fully to to date as all promotion/relegations have been approved) and Sweden. If you are Swedish, or know the Swedish league system please do submit Promotion/Relegations (that goes for any other league that has completed the 2014 league season.

Thanks for reading.
