Creating a Super League

Want to create a European closed league like the "Super League" idea?

  1. Go to Competitions -> Add New League.
  2. Define League ID (use a high number like 500).
  3. Assign 20 top clubs (Real, Barca, Bayern, PSG, City, etc.).
  4. In the Rules section, remove relegation (set relegation spots to 0).
  5. Go to the Region tab and map this league to "Europe." Warning: This requires rebuilding the schedule index, which is complex. Save backups before attempting.

How to Use the External Database Editor (Step-by-Step)

  1. Download: Find a reliable version (e.g., from FIFAMania or FIFA-Infinity forums). The most common version is the "FIFAM 14 Revora Editor" or the traditional "FHM Editor".
  2. Backup: DO NOT SKIP THIS. Go to Documents\FIFA Manager 14\Database and copy the OriginalDB.mdb (or whatever your database is called) to your desktop. If you corrupt it, you will have to reinstall the game.
  3. Open the Editor: Launch the editor as Administrator (Windows often blocks its access to system files).
  4. Load the Database: Click File > Open and select your database file (usually in C:\ProgramData\FIFA Manager 14\Database\).
  5. Find Your Target: Use the filter/search function. Want to make Ronaldo 18 again? Search "Ronaldo". Want to fix Manchester United’s debt? Go to the "Clubs" tab.
  6. Edit: Double-click a value, change it, and hit Enter.
  7. Save: File > Save. Do not change the file name. Overwrite the original.
  8. Start a NEW Career: These changes only apply to new games. Load an existing save, and nothing will change.

Overview: What is the Database Editor?

The FIFA Manager 14 Database Editor is an official tool released by EA Sports (developed by Bright Future) that allows players to modify the game's core database. Unlike in-game editors that only affect your current save file, the Database Editor changes the "source code" of the game. Any changes you make and save here will apply to all new careers you start.

It is an essential tool for updating squads, fixing player ratings, creating new leagues, or correcting data errors that existed in the default 2013/2014 season database.

Part 5: Advanced Modding – Merging Databases

The holy grail for the community is the "Mega Patch." This is where the FIFA Manager 14 Database Editor transcends editing and becomes a tool for creation.

Modders use the editor to:

  1. Import CSV files: You can export the entire player database to Excel. Edit 1,000 players at once (e.g., lower all wages by 15%) and re-import.
  2. Swap Leagues: Want to remove the Chinese Super League and replace it with a fully edited USL Championship? You can swap league IDs and rename competitions.
  3. Kits and Graphics: The editor has a "Kit Texture" viewer. You can export the 3D model template, edit it in Photoshop, and re-import it to give Liverpool their 2026 Nike kit.

Warning: The editor does not handle 3D faces directly. You need a separate tool (like FIFAM Graphics Editor) for face textures, but the Database Editor links the face model ID to the player record.
