HELP!

[Morris8]

not sure where to put this but here goes....

i got bored of playing with the same teams so i made an Essex Football League (over Blue Square South) and put the following teams in it

Braintree

Witham

AFC Sudbury

Chelmsford

Heybridge

Bishops Stortford

Billericay

Canvey Island

Colchester United 'A'

Southend United 'A'

Wivenhoe

Thurrock

East Thurrock Utd

Redbridge

Dag & Red 'A'

Maldon

Grays 'A'

Harlow

Boreham Wood

West Ham United 'A'

Great Notley (my sunday league team)

Telford (our rivals)

when i go to start the new game England wont show up a playable nation. I am wondering whether this is because;

i created such teams as Southend 'A' etc

i changed the Leagues name and 3 letter code (i later change the 3 letter code back to BSS but it still wont show)

because i have taken teams from the Essex Senior League and swapped them with Isthmian Premier teams so there isnt the original number in those leagues.

any help?

there isnt the original number in those leagues

When you swap teams from one league to another, those leagues must contain the same number of teams there were originally. You can't have 21 teams in the Barclays Premier for example.

[Dave Fairbairn]

Leagues which are not playable do not need to have the right amount of teams, but need to have a minimum number of teams. For instance, if the Isthmian Premier is 24 teams and it has 26 teams it will work fine, however it will not show up if only 20 are present.

Also, in England having a reserve team in another division is not possible and will cause the game to not work correctly.

aaah the reserve team thing is obviously the problem then cos i have

Wrs Ham, Southend, Dag&Red, Grays and Col U.

just replaced the 'A' teams and put it normal sides but it still wont work. i have 22teams in the league though.

does the fact i changed the letter code (BBS to EFL) matter. i have changed it back though?
