I noticed last night in the Edit mode i could load my WE7 option file to WE8. It gives the option to load club names and player names from the older version. On club names it only replaces teams from WE7 but it gives a head start...
Do you have an Xport? If so, there are option files out that are great...they've got all the names changed, updated transfers, and nice uniforms using the in-game editor. Let us know if you do...I'll try and find the link.
no - i don't have an X-port because i use a mac and i think it's pc only (as far as the computer interface)...the only thing i really care about changing are the club names and that does not take to long. oh and maybe a few kits here and there.
