As great a game as Football Manager is, some of the generated stadium names are a bit naff, aren’t they? If new stadia aren’t named after club legends (e.g. Alf Ramsey Park for Ipswich), they are usually given totally uninspired monikers (such as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium… oh, hang on a minute).
Of course, these new stadiums can be renamed using FM’s in-game editor or a third-party program such as FMRTE. But what if you don’t want to fork out for an in-game editor – or, like me, you have absolutely no interest in using one?
Fortunately, there is a cheap alternative that is quite easy to learn, though some of you might not be too familiar with it.
If you use a real-name fix (such as the one on Sortitoutsi), you will probably know about LNC files, which are just text files with a different file extension. They can easily be created and edited using a basic text-editing program such as Notepad (on Windows) or TextEdit (on Mac).
LNC files allow you to change the names of any stadia in your game, as well as any people, competitions, clubs, and even nations. One of the great things about them is that they can take effect in existing save games as well as new ones. Continue reading “Changing stadium and player names in Football Manager” →
