Big D Man Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 15 hours ago, keon said: Hi, Thank you for this work. I have one issue though. It seems that in the FA Cup, only 17 Premiership teams enter into the 3rd round draw and 3 teams miss out (the last 3 teams alphabetically), is anyone else seeing this issue or is it just me? It's happened on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd season so far. Thanks, Keon I also get this issue. Never noticed during game play, but looking at the completed seasons it appears 3 teams from the Premier did not enter the FA Cup too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlammi Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) My save have 19 clubs from Premier League (Wolverhampton was only club who did not entered) in FA cup 22/23 so looks like i have to start new save. I had this error also in my Finland file but i somehow fixed it. Edited May 3, 2019 by jlammi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am thinking of trying is removing leagues at levels 9, 10 & 11 from my save, before the start of a new season. This may potentially fix the issue, (if the issue is caused because of too many teams from these levels being entered into the FA Cup, therefore making the 3 Premier League teams miss out). If the issue is due to something else, which can only be fixed in the editor, then I am just going to have to accept the 3 Premier League teams missing out on FA Cup. It won't affect my save massively anyway. Messi, if I am currently at level 7 of the football pyramid, and remove all leagues at levels 8-11, would it affect anything that you have set up in the advanced editor? Like the FA Cup or how the promotions work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just changed something with the FA Cup, just testing now. There is also a setting under th FA Cup rules, apply rules to old saves which i have ticked but not sure how you would go about doing this, maybe you would have to replace the editor file with the new one. I will upload the new file if the problem is fixed. Edited May 3, 2019 by lionel messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel messi Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 i think i had too many teams entering from Level 10, i took 3 out and now seems fine as all premiership teams enter in the 3rd round. im not sure just taking the levels out will fix it as it will still get the extra teams from Level 10.

I will firstly try it by removing the extra levels. Because if these levels are removed then how could it still get the teams from Level 10? Wouldn't they be removed from the game altogether? Should this not work, I will do what you suggested about replacing the editor file. Can you tell me exactly what I would do though. Would I copy my existing editor file (as I made some of my own changes to your database before starting the save), and then tick the box you were referring to. Then save the file and try loading my saved game as normal? I don't think I would be able to just download your updated version and replace my editor file with it. Because as previously said, I made some additional changes to the database after I download it. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they won't The teams will still be there and although you remove the leagues as a front end display, they would still be there in the background and as such would still be picked out as teams to enter the FA Cup. You will most likely either have to start a new game or accept this fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few questions does it add random players staff etc ? Also any tips for starting this low in terms of other leagues to load what options to tick at start etc ? Thanks There is a tick-box option when you are setting the save up, which allows "key staff" to be added. However, even with this ticked, you only usually get very minimal staff members at the club. However, at such a low level, you can pick staff up for free on amateur contracts. So it won't be too difficult to get the basics of an assistant manager, 1-2 coaches, a physio and a scout. In terms of what leagues to load, I loaded England down to level 11, Scotland down to League 2, and then the premier divisions only for Spain, Germany, France, Italy and both Irelands. These were all set to "playable" not "view only". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been promoted to the Vanarama North in my save. Got a week off next week so will be spending a lot of time on the game during my time off. Update regarding the editor changes I made to the FA Cup and the 3 teams in the Premier League not being promoted - it didn't work. I will go back into the editor and try it again for next season - but I am not expecting it to work. It doesn't affect my save anyway. It just means teams such as West Brom, West Ham, Wolves etc. won't be in the FA Cup. Whichever 3 teams are the last alphabetically in the Premier League in any given season. All the major teams will still be in the FA Cup as luckily they start with letters which are much lower in the alphabet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a faff getting all the codes right but some of us just like perfection Btw, I've noticed that where there isn't a current holder (perhaps due to the league structure changing or it not being input in the editor??) the logo doesn't show.
