Hi Sam could you add Etcheverry?

Some of the comments here are embarrassing... LOL

Hello Sam.
It may sound like a big thing, but You are the last chance to continue keeping this great game alive and bring some order

Currently the available patches have major bugs (including mine) that make the game unplayable and your mods are always a guarantee of quality.

I hope to have news, at least that it is underway, always understanding that a lot of time is required to make it move forward.

Can you only play the year 2021 in this game? I tried to start a new career but wanted to start in 2015. I put that as the starting year but when I went to play the first tournament it showed the year 2021 instead.

You can change the starting year in Players.ATP.ini file. At least for the 2023 patch, I guess it´s the same for the 2021. Had the same issue there.

Can somebody please help me? I used to play the game many years ago, and then I knew exactly how to mod the game, but I seem to have completely forgotten what to do. So, I installed a clean version of the game and added Sam's mod following the instructions. Copied the ATP 2021 Megapatch by Sam folder to the game's Mods folder and when I start the game, everything works, the menu design is Sam's, but when I try to load players, none of the custom made players appear, just Player 1, 2... and so forth. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, on the Sam patches there's no pre-registered player list for Exhibition mode. You have to add them yourself by searching for players when starting a career.

You'll see the list; when you select a player, save them using the icon in the top left corner of your screen.
The same process applies to adding subsequent players.

In case anyone is ahving the BUG 531 or the no memory left and don't want to have to use 16b textures (the game losses some appeal in my opinion with less resolution) I did this:
The problem is that Sam Megapatch is too big and Tennis Elbow I believe only lets you have 2GB of ram occupied. I fixed this issue, and the Bug 531 by doing two things:
- Ran the NT 4gB Patch on Tennis Elbow.exe https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/
- Convert all sounds in Mods/Sam Mega.../Sounds to be a little less big, or directly you can just rename that folder and it would work but use the regular game sounds. You can convert the sounds with ffmpeg for example. I wrote a script in python that would iterate through all wav files in that folder and convert them to a smaller scale with ffmpeg. Or you can use any audio converter.
