let's be realistic...
that was always my dream too.. though after years of editing the DB of FIFA's i've finally understood that it is just too much effort for the perfect result that you want but that never comes to life, giving you more of an unsatisfaction feeling in the end instead of all pleasure you should expect...
so, this year, and thanks to Rinaldo's fabulous CM early beta release i've finally "seen the light" and i'm almost completing what i think is a much more consistent, accurate and enjoyable patch...
my main goal playing FIFA is to take the most out of the Manager Mode, so what i did was to create 2 small leagues that could add to it the feeling that was missing, yet without having the need to patch leagues over leagues that at the end will cause my game to crash or to be unaccurate and it's absolutely over time-consuming:
1 - REST OF EUROPE LEAGUE (20 teams)
From Greece
- AEK (ingame)
- PAOK (ingame)
- Panathinaikos (ingame)
- Olympiakos (ingame)
- Aris
From Romania
- Steaua Buc.
- Dinamo Buc.
- Rapid Buc.
- Cluj
From Cyprus
- APOEL
From Hungary
- Debreceni
From Ukraine
- Dinamo Kiev
- Shakhtar Donetsk
From Serbia
- Partizan
- Crvena Zvezda
From Bulgaria
- Levski
- CSKA
From Israel
- Macc. Haifa
From Croatia
- Din. Zagreb
- Hajduk Split
Fully edited teams, fully playable on Manager mode with 4 first teams qualifying for UCL and 5th to 7th teams for UEL. These 2 tournaments i also revised them to fit better the real life, with russian, norwegian or irish champions being qualified for UCL too when you win those championships (e.g.)!
2 - REST OF AMERICA LEAGUE (8 teams)
From Argentina
- Boca (ingame)
- River (ingame)
- Estudiantes
- Independiente
From Chile
- Colo Colo
- Univ. Chile
From Uruguay
- Peñarol
- Nacional
Fully edited teams, fully playable on Manager mode with 5 first teams qualifying for a revised, more real Copa Libertadores tournament.

I also created 6 african teams just for my own amusement on custom tournaments or friendly matches, these being:
From Tunisia
- Espérance
- Sahel
- Sfaxien
- C. Africain
From Egypt
- Ahly
- Zamalek
All in all, i've worked hard for 1 or 2 weeks (yeah, work is still at 70% maybe, but this is the estimated time to finish) and then have the game almost as perfect and enjoyable as i think it should be right from the beggining, when you buy it...
Sorry for the long text but this is my TRULLY EXPERIMENTED opinion, i'm not trying to tell you that your idea is bad, just consider doing such a thing and you'll see that you'll be much happier gaming your FIFA!
