meter Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, torsportsfan said: Wow this is fantastic! I agree and am really enjoying. The only issue-problem I see is the high number of 15-18 year old transfers to USL Championship, NPSL Pro, USL 1 and clubs from these divisions using these players as starters. Not sure if this is case of High PA of these players, Not enough Current CA American players or these clubs choosing to pay these young players a lower salary then the older perhaps higher PA and CA players. Not a show stopper but as playing in USL Championship and seeing the Rowdies dropping big name players for youth does not seem realistic.

Rherm Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 This is awesome, I have been looking for this for FM19. Also this has to be the best Canadian database because some one beside FC Edmonton actually wins the CPL (A problem I have been facing in other databases). It's also great to play as my home town team FC Buffalo as well as University at Buffalo. I am also wondering in the future could you add the Canadian colleges who compete in USports to draft in the CPL. Once again this is awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmfan00 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 By April, more than 140 players will have been recruited across the seven teams, and the league has implemented strict rules designed to benefit the national side. Squads must have between 20 and 23 players, with only seven foreign nationals allowed in each. Six Canadians must be in each team's starting XI. A minimum of three domestic players in each squad must be under 21, and those players must play a minimum of 1,000 combined minutes a season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46988859 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Sam Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Ugh, again limitations by the editor. There is no way to recreate the U21 Domestic players rule. I can do minimum number of U21 players, but not Domestic U21. To compromise I did a minimum of 3 homegrown players. BTW, should be releasing version 2.24 soon. It will set the recently announced USL2 and NPSL conference alignments for 2019. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer 12 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 how much work would it be to add ny cosmos into the expansion with austin? rounds it off to 28 teams. and also is there any way to knock the mls rules out so the contracts and transfers are european style? i changed the usa nation to the fixed bottom option instead of flexible, took the additional rules helper for the mls out and it has partially worked but it may of affected the pre season cos i gett aksed for training camp squads about 3 times for different dates, and i noticed the season finishing alot earlier after the first season. have my changes caused this?

fedegalla Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Hi @Uncle_Sam, first of all thank you for your big work! I made a little change, and I set the value of American generated player to 200, because I thought that the draft would have been very interesting (like the 2003 NBA draft). There is a little problem: few of them declare themself elegible, because most of them go to play in USL, so if I want them I have to buy. I think it could be cool if NCAA players cannot move to USL. In fact, that add some competitivity to that league, but after 3 years I'm noticing that most of the best NCAA are in USL and not drafted. How could I fix it? Second thing: I'm actually at Inter Miami and I cannot buy players from my own Academy, is that normal? Third thing: Is it possible to copy all the rules and create a UEFA MLS, with the best 28 teams divided in eastern and western, a USL with other 38 club and an NCAA with the best European academy, and an European Draft with the best young prospects from the continent?

Uncle_Sam Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) So all of the issues with signing players to expansion teams is entirely to do with hard-coding. I've done what I can to make it possible to control the teams from the beginning, but all the hard-coding with MLS makes it difficult-nigh impossible-to function as it ideally would. You may not actually be able to function properly until the team actually joins MLS. Edited February 18, 2019 by Uncle_Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I'm using will send players on vacation after the conference tournament, but once the NCAA tournament is set they become available again.

The hardest part is actually dealing with the excess teams, your files have done well in my efforts at least, but removing the NCAA to save on the load times is a chore. Also I really appreciate the work you put in, I was working on my own file, but have been mostly overwhelmed by creating uniforms and such for all of the clubs in America.

BuckSaddler Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Hello, I just wanted to share this glitch I found to increase the salary cap without much issues with the AI. Hopefully this is something new to people and it might be of some use to anyone, especially after all the good work you've done improving the MLS. If you go into the editor and change the currency value of the USD, which is currently 1.302, down to 0.651 you're doubling the value of the Dollar. Ok so this is where it's hard to explain.... I play my game using UK pounds so it makes much more sense to see these changes. (Change your preferences from USD to Pounds and you'll see what I mean) The salary cap is doubled as a result. TV money is doubled. A Designated Player cap is double. The TAM (1.25m) and GAM (6.75m) is increased to £8M combined. Reserve / Senior minimum contracts double too. So I have left this on manager holiday for a few seasons and was really surprised to see the results. Atlanta were able to bring in additional DP level players, paying down Barco's cap with the additional TAM/GAM. They also gave Villalba double his original contract at the start of the game and he wasn't a DP neither despite being on over £30k a weej. Almiron who had always left the club in the standard version suddenly changed his mind and wanted to stay and was worth £37.5m. I had increased the team and league's reputation and some big name transferred to the MLS, players and coaches. With the increased Reputation some American players were reaching full potential, some clubs were able to bring back American and Canadian players on DP/TAM level. I also changed the default TV money, wages and salary values, so players who were leaving were leaving for a lot more money in Europe. The TV money increase meant teams were signing big names a lot easier for DP level deals. I added myself as Vancouver on a test and was able to sign Welbeck, Sturridge and Boyata. I'd also edited the players to have better Current Ability and Potential. I was really surprised to see players like Roldan sign huge contracts and value soar. By the 3rd season he was capable of being a solid PL player and was not even on a DP contract. Atlanta and Toronto had won the NACL too. Players were transferring within the league a lot. Especially established American players. Arriola left D.C for 3.6 million in GAM + Alvas Powell. That's quite impressive. Canouse, who i'd increased in quality got a £3m trade with NYCFC in exchange for 2 players. Of course the only draw back here is switching from USD to Pounds if you're not used to that.... but the results are excellent and worth playing around with.

Uncle_Sam Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 FIRST POST HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH THE 19.3 COMPATIBLE FILE Changes: -Cleaned up the database, removing the duplicate clubs that were included in the default 19.3 data update -Re-added Inter Miami, as they were removed from the 19.3 data -Separated the USA and Canada expansions into two separate files -I've fixed the Concacaf club competitions so it's 22 in the Concacaf League with 6 advancing to join the 10 automatic CCL qualifiers. The CPL winner now qualifies for the preliminary round of the Concacaf League. I have also modified the Mexican and Costa Rican leagues so that the proper teams will qualify for the Concacaf competitions. These MUST be included in your editor files folder in order for them to work correctly. -I'm hopeful to have sorted out the USSDA and NCAA championship competitions so that the players don't go on holiday. -Because the NISA has been granted sanctioning I have gone ahead and put them in starting in 2019. The real-life planned Fall-Spring schedule format cannot be duplicated in FM because a nation's league structure MUST all run on the same calendar, so it will be a spring-fall format. -Graphics have been added and changed where necessary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
