Can I assume that the trainer is linked to the actual .exe? Having altered it to play without the disc inserted, is it possible it is no longer recognised?
All of the trainers I have used over the last x amount of years from this site still say 'activated' if F1 is pressed even when the game is not on.
Having just used the trainer from another game, it does that, F1 works, this does not...
So I try the Max Stat VP feature, and it always give me error. Everytime I edit the height and weight it always came up different after I start a new game, and every time I start a new game with edited height and weight it always tell me that i will retire at the end of the current season, which mean it only gave me 1 season to play as a player.
