Essential improvements

Disable league limitation

Edit user.ini

Only if you have more 4GB of free RAM and CPU is significantly more powerful than the recommended one. Simulation of more than conceived by developers amount of leagues may cause game crash due to limit of using only 2 GB of RAM by 32-bit application. Use 4GB Patch on game for utilizing more RAM. If you start new game with simulation of absolutely all leagues in the game (including reserve ones), each individual save file will be 300+ megabytes in size. Many of them will take up a lot of memory on your drives. Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\FIFA MANAGER 14\Config\user.ini with any text editor like Notepad. Add IGNORE_LEAGUE_LIMITATION=1 to very end of file.

FIFA Manager season patch

A mod that brings new and updates original squads, tournaments and graphics to more actual ones. In addition, fixes a lot of errors and crashes.

You can adjust the amount of mod content for install. Maximum configuration takes ~100 GB.

Also compatible with FIFA Manager 13.
