* INTRODUCTION                                                                                        *

* Welcome to the Ultimate Soccer Manager Update for 2017. If you are reading this it means you are a  *
* fan just like me. This is the third edition of updates I have done and it contains more player data *
* then ever before as I now know how to increase the number of players in the game. Excitingly it     *
* also includes new sponsorships and adverts. An addition that has been in the year of making but now *
* it can be done quite easily. I'm always looking to update where I can and edit the hex files to     *
* try and make the game even better.                                                                  *
*                                                                                                     *
* ACCURACY/DISCLAIMER                                                                                 *
*                                                                                                     *
* Please note that this update is not 100% accurate. This latest update has taken me 3 months to      *
* compile (over the January transfer window!) so there will be players that have moved. The update is *
* supposed to be a generic data update, the finer changes can be performed by using the stat editor.  *
* It is annoying when I create these updates and people say "Messi's passing is only 98 and not 99!"  *
* If you think players have the wrong stats then it is up to you to change it. All the stats are      *
* worked out using formulas and algorithms based on other data. The data simply is not transferrable  *
* from one game to another.                                                                           *
*                                                                                                     *
* I have used the majority of the data from www.footballsquads.com which is a constantly refreshed    *
* website. I also use various websites that have the Fifa 17 stats.                                   *
*                                                                                                     *
* KITS & STADIUMS                                                                                     *
*                                                                                                     *
* At this moment I am unable to change kit design and stadium details. I can only change team colours *
* This means that your team may have a striped kit whereas it didnt before. It may have a bigger or   *
* or smaller stadium then before. I am also able to change the average attendance for the club. I     *
* really hope that in the near future this will be possible.                                          *
*                                                                                                     *

* Note 1 - The German leagues have changed dramatically since the original game was released. It has  *
* introduced 3.Bundesliga and now 5 regional leagues. The original game only had 2.Bundesliga and 4   *
* regional leagues. I have edited this by dividing the teams in 3.Bundesliga amongst the 4 regional   *
* leagues and then randomly dividing the other teams into the remaining positions. Only the data in 1 *
* & 2.Bundesligas are correct. All the regional team data is correct however all the players are      *
* randomly generated names and data. This is because the data is only available on wikipedia or thier *
* individual team websites and this takes too long to update as it is in different formats.           *
*                                                                                                     *
* Note 2 - There are 125 teams that are divided into the 3 European competitions. Again the formats   *
* have changed and there are more teams that are entered now. I have tried to be as accurate as       *
* possible but what I have found is that there maybe teams in the European Cup Group Stage that would *
* not normally be there. This is because it only has one round before the group stages. There is an   *
* extra 15 teams which I havent updated as im not sure what happens with these teams, they do not     *
* feature in the 1st season, they may well appear later in the game as 'TBC'. As with the original    *
* data not all of these teams have a full squad as there are not enough player spaces in that file, I *
* have ensured the best teams in this file have. Please note that this league you are unable to view, *
* nor can you buy players from this league.                                                           *
*                                                                                                     *
* Note 3 - These are all the teams from around the world, you are able to view and buy these players  *
* within the game. The original game had european teams duplicated in this along with the Extra       *
* Teams. Im not sure how this worked if you bought players from this league, I presume it wont        *
* duplicate within the game. For example if you bought a player from a Greek team, you could end up   *
* playing that team in the European Cup and you both have that player. It is something I need to look *
* into. In this league I saw a website that has world rankings of all the club teams and I took the   *
* top team from pretty much every country then with the remaining i took the best of the rest. There  *
* are at least 30 teams from Brazil/Argentina for example. Again only the best teams have the         *
* majority of players.                                                                                *
*                                                                                                     *
* Note 4 - For this I have included the World Cup Legends that i created for the 2015 update. I will  *
* update this for the World Cup next year. If you have any suggestions to what you would like let me  *
* know.                                                                                               *
*                                                                                                     *
* WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED                                                                               *
*                                                                                                     *
* The extra addition to this update is the inclusion of the European Sponsor pack. The 25 original    *
* sponsors have been updated to popular European sponsors. This includes the names, advertising       *
* boards alongside the pitch and the sponsor posters on the Administration and Chairmans Screens.     *
* Again, something I'd like to do is create different Sponsor Packs for each league and then it       *
* gives the option of what sponsor package you wish to use.                                           *
*                                                                                                     *
* HOW DO I USE IT                                                                                     *
*                                                                                                     *
* Once you have downloaded the update you need to save it somewhere on your computer. Next you will   *
* need to make a copy of your original files. You are using the update at your own free will and if   *
* the update causes crashes or corrupts your original files i can not be held responsible. I have     *
* tested it (Windows 8) and I havent experienced any such difficulties. Once yo have made a copy you  *
* simply cut and paste the files into you game location. It will ask you if you want to overwrite     *
* the original files. By selecting yes the updated files will replace the original files.  Then you   *
* can test by starting the game as usual!                                                             *
*                                                                                                     *
* THANKYOU                                                                                            *
