SI Staff Blue Lou Posted November 6, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted November 6, 2013 I have successfully created the second, third and fourth tier of the US soccer system. Second Division: 8 teams One Apertura season One Clausura season One Championship Game I've had to 'cheat' slightly here, I couldn't get the game to treat the Championship Game winners as overall winners and keep the existing real life rules, so what I have done is split the competition into two (because of the two-stage regular season). The Regular Season and Championship Game are separate competitions. Third division: 13 teams One regular season One playoff system for the top 8 teams. Fourth division: This is more complicated than I had originally thought. There are 9 child competitions One playoff system The playoff system has: Qualifying Round (10 teams in total) Regional Conference (Semi-final and Final) Champions Conference (Semi-final and Final) -------- Download link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=197141153 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Blue Lou Posted November 9, 2013 Author SI Staff Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ok mate but, according to you, inserting promotions/relegations system in your file will cause Superdraft (and draft, etc) loss? Ah I see, I doubt MLS would work with promotion and relegation because a lot of that is 'hard coded'. It's certainly possible to have it between the second and third tiers though. Progress report: I made a breakthrough yesterday and the second season is now working! I've split the USL PDL into three parts; '9 Child Competitions'; 'Parent competition' and a separate 'Cup competition' for the playoffs - It was the only way I could have the game acknowledge the winners of both, the regular season and the playoffs. It's worked out pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggpofm Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Congratulations for your work. I did some testing with the file and found an issue: The two seasons there were the same winners. Even so, the Soccer Bowl was played. NASL 2014 Spring Champion: Minesota United Runner-up: Edmonton Autumm Champion: Minesota United Runner-up: San Atonio Soccer Bowl 2014 Minesota vs. Edmonton 2017 Spring Champion: NY Cosmos Runner-up: San Atonio Autumm Champion: NY Cosmos Runner-up: San Atonio Soccer Bowl 2017 NY Cosmos vs. SAn Antonio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Blue Lou Posted November 25, 2013 Author SI Staff Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi ggpofm, I received your PM. Apparently this is what actually happens in real life. If the same team wins both Spring and Autumn seasons, the second place team from the combined league table will play the winner in a Championship Game. So even if the winners win all of their season games, they still have to play a game against the second place team. It seems silly to me too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhawk1106 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm from San Antonio and follow the NASL. It works for them. I like it. For an 8 team league to go for 30+ games, there's going to be a big spread between qualifying teams. To make it more exciting, they just shorten the season a bit for tighter races. Again, I like it. =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars_Blackmon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 How are you able to unlock USL PRO & NASL without the PDL messing up? I want to make a file for myself that has all leagues in the US playable. plz help Thanks in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars_Blackmon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Agreed, I would love to start a long term career off at a academy club only working with regens then work my way up to the MLS then eventually England. Edit- I noticed that there are no PDL teams participating in the US Open Cup. Also winning the US Open Cup doesn't seem to qualify you for the Champions league.

SI Staff Blue Lou Posted November 27, 2013 Author SI Staff Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't have any intention of adding the USASA leagues, it's simply too much work ! I can't find any information about the MLS Academy league. I'm working on fixing that PDL teams in the US Open Cup bug now. I'll upload an update later which should fix the problem.

As Jayhawk1106 says, the US Open Cup winner not qualifying for the Champions League is not something I'm able to fix. I actually had some links that I can share regarding the US Academy Soccer Develop League (or whatever it's called or Under 18 league lol) It's actually somewhat setup like the PDL. Each team plays around 30 games and I thinks its 9 or 12 teams per division. There is also a playoff afterwards. I am not that interested in USASA myself. The academy league would be more than enough. Maybe even NPSL? But anyways thanks for this!

wkdsoul Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Is it possible to have promotion/relegation into the MLS and keep the draft? I've managed to add a 2nd under the MLS (3 up, 4 down and 3rd tier (3rd tier is 4 conferences into 2nd Div). but I've lost the draft i think, gotta holiday to confirm and the MLS structure is now one league. Might have a further play with it, and see if can keep the MLS with draft in the format it is, not sure how to make the relegation work, 1 out of each conference and 2 auto promoted from the 2nd (NASL)... bugger. Oh well least i managed to create New York Ciry FC from scratch and get the club badge into the game as well (there are several custom ones online).

Silent_Thunder Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Big thanks. I play in the Lower ENgland Leagues, but the US is one of my loaded nations, and it's will defiantly help to give them some leagues to develop with. Who knows, maybe my manager will return to the states one day. EDIT: For whatever reason, when using this, no matter what past experience I set the game to, I get a "National" reputation if I try to start unemployed. Automatic plus a team sets it properly though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really would appreciate a direct download, as the steam-download doesn't work for me!The file sounds great, btw Are you doing it correctly? It took me a while to figure out the Steam download. Click "subscribe" to DL the file. Then open the actual game. At the bottom, click "Downloads" The on the right tab on the tab click "Steam Workshop" All your subscribed files are right there and you have to DL/activate them. For the longest time, I thought you DL'd the file through steam. Took me a while to realize that wasn't the case, and that you DL it through the actual game itself, not Steam. If this isn't your issue then I apologize. Just thought I'd share since it was my silly issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
