Hey Clay i was wondering if their is a way too edit an active games DAT file ?

I bought 2010 so I am a pretty new player. Is there a simpler way, in game, to edit rosters. For example, if a trade is made is there a way to do it while playing with a "force trade" option or something? Also, is there an easy way to move folks between teams and free agency without editing the DAT file? Thanks.

Yes, to both, Ren...use the Force trade option - you need to click Options/Commissioner, to do this - if you can't exchange players with another team by normal means, using the "trades" sub menu. As for Free Agency, simply click the "Release" button on your line-up, or bullpen, and he'll find his way to the F.A.list

Isn't there an easy way to create a league made of teams from different years? I downloaded the FM 2012. It lets me create a modern database, but gives me an error when I try that with create all databases. It keeps telling me to redownload the game. Why is that? Is there a bug or something? Thanks for any help about this.

In the meantime, I have learned how to create players. I have a lot of football encyclopedias, so I figured I would recreate some 1960s teams. I would love to put them into a .dat file. What I was thinking is starting a 1970 season and working on replacing some of those teams with players from teams in the 60s. It will be interesting in any case.
