managercards: 417 rows, carddbid 1000001..1001552, assetid == carddbid on all 417,
value 57..88 (120 rows at exactly 57), rare 282/135 and NOT a rating threshold.
talkrating and formationid are 0 on ALL 417 rows -- both columns are dead in FIFA 17.
MEASURED from data/tables/, rowcount == rows_emitted.
Names come out after all, and by the CLIENT's own rule rather than an inference:
FUN_1801bb060 (879 bytes, read in full) does SELECT firstname,surname,... FROM manager
WHERE managerid == (*(u32*)(rec+0x18) & 0xffffff) - 1000000. Joining data/tables/
manager.json on that rule gives 1000509 Luis Enrique 88, 1000089 Wenger 86, 1000417
Guardiola 87, 1000414 Klopp 84 -- the ratings match the men, which a shifted column
could not produce. This supersedes the note that we get ids and not names: true of
managercards, false once you join `manager`.
Fixed here: `manager` has 747 rows but 746 distinct managerids -- managerid 107 is
duplicated with an empty-name row, and a plain dict comprehension kept the wrong one,
silently giving carddbid 1000107 a blank name and teamid 1357 instead of Slutskiy and
315. 296 -> 297 usable names.
THE KEY FACT, verified at instruction level: the parser routes the JSON `nation` to a
DIFFERENT record offset for a manager. At 0x180140e0b FUN_1800d8330's result is DEC'd
twice -- cardtype 1 stores nation to rec+0x148, cardtype 2 to rec+0xde, everything
else DISCARDS it. leagueId (atom 0x18a) lands unconditionally at rec+0xe0. The manager
merge FUN_1801356c0 (452 bytes, 1,587 chars, read in full) writes only firstname,
lastname, assetid, rating, talkrating, negotiation and rare -- it never touches
rec+0xde/+0xe0. So for a manager, WE are the only source of nation and league, and
they are read: FUN_1801a8580/FUN_1801a8540 feed FUN_1800e5940 ("ManagerCardBio"),
which publishes NATIONALITY, NATIONALITY_ASSET_ID and LEAGUE_ID.
That merge has NO else-branch, so unlike a coach a wrong manager id is COMPLETELY
SILENT. resourceId must equal carddbid exactly -- the manager arm reads the key raw,
with no & 0xffffff.
Also corrected against the design round's own draft: talkrating and negotiation are
NOT unread. FUN_1800e5940 publishes them as ATTRIB_TEAM_TALKS (rec+0xe2) and
ATTRIB_CONTRACT_NEGOTIATION (rec+0xe3). They come from the DB, not from us, and since
talkrating is 0 on all 417 rows TEAM TALKS reads 0 on every manager card in the game.
