But as much as we love the vanilla experience—scouring the Scandinavian leagues for a young Kim Källström or exploiting Tó Madeira’s release clause—sometimes you want to bend the rules. Sometimes, you want to fix a contract dispute, see how good a 200 CA player actually is, or simply resurrect a fallen giant without waiting three seasons.

That is where the CM 01/02 Save Game Editor comes in.
