[WIP] Greenland League and National Team


Recommended Posts

So after ironing out some issues I have finally managed to get a Greenlandic league system working correctly and realistically (with some creative freedom). This file contains the Greenlandic national team which replaces Kazakhstan in UEFA who have returned to their rightful home of the AFC. I have edited over Kiribati to create the Greenland national team, this way regens are generated as well as the national team manager picking a squad of players for internationals, both which are otherwise lacking when overwriting an extinct nation.  

All players have automatic Danish second nationality. 

The Greenland national team have moved into a brand new (fake) domed national stadium. This was created due to the real stadia with Greenland being far from capable of holding international football.

So far the file includes:

The Coca-Cola GM - The top level of domestic competition in Greenland, 30 teams are drawn into regional groups of 6 (North, Central, Disco Bay, East and South) with the top 2 from each regional group progressing to the national group stage. The national group stage is split into 2 groups of 5 teams, with the top 2 from each group progressing into the champions play-off a straight knockout to crown the champions of Greenland!

Though the format represents real life, I have allowed myself some creative freedom, mainly having 6 teams in each regional group which actually differs year to year and usually contains a maximum of 5 or in East Greenlands case 2 or 3! However due to editor capabilities and wanting to have every region of Greenland represented equally I have decided to include 6 teams from each region. Secondly in real life only 8 teams progress into the national group stage, however I felt having 10 split into groups of 5 would allow for more games and a better experience.

The league is played between Late June and the middle of August when weather permits outdoor football.

Winner qualifies for Champions League first qualifying round with the beaten finalist and semi finalists qualifying for the Europa League first qualifying round.

 

The Greenland Indoor Football Championship - The Greenland indoor football championship is played within 5 regional sub divisions (North, Central, Disco Bay, East and South), with between 6 to 8 teams competing in the 5 divisions. At the end of the sub divisions the regional champions are crowned and progress, along with the three best runners up, into the Greenland Indoor Football Championship a straight knockout to crown Greenland's best indoor football team.

The season is played between March and May when conditions are still too harsh to play outside.

In game the league will be represented by domes stadiums with old style hard synthetic pitches and still will be played 11 a-side. This is purely down to editor limitations rather than an oversight.

 

Know Issues:

  • Although Greenland enter Euro 2016 qualifying, they do not enter World Cup 2018 qualifying with Kazakhstan forcing themselves back into UEFA for one last campaign. I think this is because WC 2018 qualifying groups are hardcoded, however this rectifies itself for the Euro 2020 qualifiers and foreseeable tournaments.
  • As I edited over Kiribati regen managers and staff are generated as black, however they retain Scandinavian sounding names. If anyone knows a way of correcting this issue though, please let me know.
  • Population is almost double that of Greenland's in real life; again this is due to overwriting Kiribati and unfortunately cannot be edited.

To Do: 

  • Create more indoor stadiums, currently only a few teams have indoor stadiums set.
  • Add more international and top league players and hopefully, therefore, more authentic Greenlandic names to go alongside the Danish sounding names.
  • Add media
  • Add awards
  • Add competition history
  • Add reserves (or U18s as in real life)
  • Possibly add minor tournaments like the Nuuk mini league.

Looks like you've had your work cut out with this database. I looked up the league system and it is rather complicated, largely due to weather constrictions. 

Besides the small issues you have raised you seem to have done an excellent job of getting this as close as possible. Well done. :thup:

Sorry for the late update on this, I've been away for a short while. However I have started to work on the features that were missing and have also now completed a logo pack and stadium pack for the database. Hopefully will have a more complete release out shortly in the coming days!

Sorry for the lack of activity in this thread, this past couple of months I have been busy moving back to the UK from Scandinavia an tying up some ends after a couple of years away, so I have been pretty damn busy with all of that. I am now going to complete the next release for FM17 instead,hopefully this will give me time to collate the data I need and also complete a kit pack to go along with the other graphics I have made so far.  Apologise for those who had been waiting!
