RESTRICTIONS
Letting Real Sociedad buy any spaniard players
Code:
change
008CECAC: MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[9D0128]
to
008CECAC: MOV ECX,-1
008CECB1: NOP
Stop from buying a nation's players
Code:
008CE9D0: MOV EDX,DWORD PTR DS:[9CF458]
008CE9D6: CMP ECX,EDX
008CE9D8: JNE SHORT 008CEA14
9CF458 is Saudi Arabia, this is the code that stops you from buying Saudi players. Changing 9CF458 will allow this rule to be applied to another nation instead.
Alternatively, deleting JNE SHORT 008CEA14 (filling with NOP) will apply this restriction to everybody unless they already play abroad.
It won't edit the messages the game shows though, they'll still refer to Saudi Arabia.
Stopping trial offers
Code:
change
00872538 - JE 00872620
to
00872538 - JMP 00872620
0087253D - NOP
Stopping transfers and loan bids
Code:
change
0087278D JE 00872918
to
0087278D JMP 00872918
00872792 NOP
I believe this just impacts on the user interface, so the AI should still be able to buy players.
Stop releasing players on free

I have discovered a new way of understanding the code during decoding the section.
MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+53] would previously have been a bit of a mystery but I now know that it is accessing the value 83 (53 in hex) bytes into a club - which is the field 'nation id'. I'll post some more examples of this that should help improve our understanding of the code.
Stop applying for jobs
Code:
00482CA9: JNE SHORT 00482D04
Change this to JMP and you won't be able to apply for jobs - you'd have to wait to be offered a job.
Stop referring to players having 'British' passports

Not tested this but I think if the bold lines are changed to CMP EAX,-1 the game will stop referring to players having 'British' passports, i.e. the game could be made to report that a player holds a Scottish passport - which might come in handy in a few years time.
9CF2E4 = England
9CF510 = Wales
9CF45C = Scotland
9CF3E4 = Northern Ireland
Imposing the basque-only restriction on every club
Code:
0053D7F0: MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+4]
0053D7F4: TEST ECX,ECX
Change to:
0053D7F0: MOV EAX,1
0053D7F5: RETN
This will impose the basque-only restriction on every club, net result is that only a handful of transfers will happen.
The following changes the nationality that everyone is restricted to and changes it from Basque to -1; as nobody has -1 for a nationality (nationalities start at 0 for Afghanistan) no club will be able to sign anybody, not even free transfers. Clubs will only get the players that come through their youth team.
008CEBB5 A1 24F49C00 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[9CF424]
Change to:
008CEBB5 B8 FFFFFFFF MOV EAX,-1
Making this change will probably get really boring as I suspect lots of clubs will have squads full of grey players as their players leave and don't get replaced.
