The whole shipping time doesn't stand up with me when it needs an update from Steam anyway to work, just send it to the shops with the CD version of BETA and then give the same update as the download versions...Ugh what do I know.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Is the same in Portugal, not promoting correctly, as both Alverca & Carregado shouldn't be able to come up in one season, and then not assigning them to the correct groups based on region either. With travel being factored into costs maybe this is one of the major issues causing terrible lower league finances for the users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duccio Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I didn't even think about travel costs. That makes the bug worse than I originally thought. What it comes to Portugal, it looks like all the clubs at the level below the National Championship are in one giant group the same way the French CFA 2 clubs are. High reputation "Regional Division" teams will have a good chance of promotion regardless of geographical location. :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower Leagues Rule Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 It should be split into 20 Regional Divisions with 1 winner from each promoted...grrr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_District_Championships Of course there is no info on Wikipedia about teams at that level, but given the names, and them knowing the teams it shouldn't be hard to put it together.

I have no transfer budget and £2200 p/w available for wages.

Quacky Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Wick Academy 2021/2022 Scottish League 1 | 3rd Table | Squad | Finances | Transfers The full version patch has basically made my defence much better and I always had some of the best strikers in the league so we were on excellent form after the update. We won the league challenge cup with a victory over our parent team, Cowdenbeath, and maintained good league position all season until we dropped to 3rd near the end. Alloa were always too good except for the last time I playerd them and won 4-0. The playoffs were tricky, coming back from first leg deficits both times, first against Morton (3-5 L and 3-0 W) and then over Forfar on penalties (0-2 L and 4-2 W, 5-4 P) to win promotion! Top players: Shane Sutherland | Steve Leishman | Michael Cameron Other stuff: On loan winger Jamie Naismith won an u19 cap, which is odd because Michael Cameron is a better player in the same position.

Especially as they already have the locations of 90% of the clubs in there by Longitude & latitude, and the regional sorting is used elsewhere as well, in Portugal it is based around what FA they are part of, which I believe means there is a bit of movement in the size of those divisions down below...which could cause issues I guess.

Macshimmy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Brora Rangers 2015/2016 Mid-Season Scottish League 2 | Table | Squad | Transfers As you can see, we are proving to be a nasty surprise for the established order in SL2 - and have been a handful in the cups as well. I'm enjoying season one, taking plenty of time to tinker with tactics and getting very satisfactory results from the players. Managed to cobble together a fairly decent coaching setup by persuading our senior players to turn player/coach - the board even allowed me a Physio! (In fact, he's insisted rather pompously on being 'Head Physio', but he's got skills in double figures so I'm happy.) My trials unearthed a couple of half-decent kids and a thorough raid on the Highland League produced some remarkably reliable goal threats. It's the ex-Premier League core who were already at the club who are making such an impression on the league though. I'm all too aware that puts me on borrowed time - two of my key men are over 35! Here are the Key Players: Grant Munro | Ross Tokely | Gavin Morrison And here is the One Who Got Away - was at the club last season, but left before I was in post, and has remained stubbornly unattached ever since, insisting that there is no way he would stoop to our level. Stuart Kettlewell Although the most glorious result was forcing a cup replay against the mighty Partick Thistle, the most important match so far occurred in pre-season, and ended satisfactorily: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo Amado (MC) - This guy has some stunning free kicks, and pretty solid through the middle, could be a star. Pedro Branco (DL) - A great Preeason for Branco on the left. Diogo Carmelo (ST) - I had wanted to sign him for Alverca, but he has agreed to come for Carregado. Diogo Andre (AMR) - A bit of an assist machine early in the preseason. Paulico (AML) - The star left wing, but out for another 5 days, then will need to get match fitness. Wilson Silva (DC) - Yeah, I over spent to get the best DC available. Luis Goncalves (DL) - A back-up Left back Magano (MC) - Will probably rotate with Xano, not 100% sure though. Sylvain Petit (AMRL) - Cover for both sides of the park. Marcio Deib (AML) - A good inside forward who will start the season through injury.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 In the first game we scored first for 1-0, then they scored 3 times before halftime. Thought we were done for, but an injury saw our sub come on at Left Wing, and he scored 2, got an assist, had another disallowed for a foul, and a fourth hit the post. 5-3 the final score with a great win.
