Importing Players?

You'll have to create them I think. The players table in the database is a little bit different this time, so importing their tables from previous games won't work so easy.

Yeah, that's why I use the database to create them. You are more limited in face options, but you can set potential, multiple positions, contract lengths etc.

NO WAY! How do I do that? Do I need a certain program?

Like I said, open CM 13, create a player, done. Or you could ignore my advice and spend a 45 minutes doing the same thing with DBM 12 if being stubborn is your thing.

The reason I'm wary of using CM 13 is because even though it's easier to use, I've heard it can causes crashes? But I'll give it a try... Can you set potential with CM 13?

I was editing generic faces in my FIFA 13 db when all of the sudden the program stopped working. Went into my Origin Games folder and my entire FIFA 13 main folder had disappeared! It was just gone. Now THAT'S about as major a bug as I've ever seen, lol.

Yes. CM 13 is having some issues, but I've been doing basic player and formation editing with it and it seems to work fine.

DBM 12 is an option to import last year's players. You can open the FIFA 12 players table in Excel, then open the FIFA 13 players table in another Excel window. Choose a player in FIFA 12, copy the entire row of players specs, then paste the row in FIFA 13. The problem with that though is the two tables are slightly different, and you'll have to then go column by column, making sure all values for that player line up correctly.

A question about CM13, does it still have the bug of randomly assigning those two special traits (teamplayer and one club player) to players who don't have them and take them from players who have them? That's the main reason why I refrained from using CM12.

CM13 is of course much faster than using the DBM12.

That's also a way to create new players actually. Create them in CM12 in the Fifa 12 database and then use DBM12 to copy them into the Fifa 13 database. This would be a workaround if CM13 caused any issues.

I figured it out Thanx... This might sound like a stupid question but if I create a player with CM13 & then I download the most recent updates in-game, will it delete my created player?

No. Updates are squad save files as I understand it (I never update my game so I don't know for sure). Squad save files don't affect your db. But then if you use squad updates, the players you created in your db won't be in your game.
