Love the work as always, but one question. For anyone playing an MLS team does it seem like the DoF's hate goalkeepers? Like every season it's a carnival of GK trades and new signings. It's probably a fault of the MLS AI. I often see teams going into the season without a single GK on their roster. It's just bizarre to me.

MAJOR UPDATE:

Made a lot of changes to the latest release. I'll start in the USA. The NPSL Pro will now not start until 2020, like it's set to in real life. Instead, the 8 NPSL Pro teams that are "promoting" from the NPSL will compete in the NPSL during the 2019 season, after which the NPSL Founders Cup will generate:

This competition is being organized to "lead into" the NPSL Professional Division which begins play in 2020 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPSL_Founders_Cup)

Also added are the Muskegon Risers SC, joining NPSL in 2020.

This file also fixes a MAJOR error in the squad rules for the NPSL Pro where all of the players had to be U19.

 

The BIG changes in this file are in Canada, specifically the Canadian Premier League. I have corrected the format for the CPL so that there will be a 14-match Spring season and a 14-match Fall (Autumn) season, with the two winners playing in the CPL Championship match. The winner of each season will be recorded, as well as the overall champion:

Furthermore, I have added all of the real life kits that were announced last week in the SS style to the updated graphics pack.

image.thumb.png.fe00b61b3ffe9732540bbd2235a17f02.png

The CPL has not made any announcement that I have seen regarding a venue for the championship match, so for now I have the Spring Season winner hosting.

 

Download and enjoy, and please report any issues.

So I have read that some of you are experiencing a crash. I am truly sorry about that. Maybe try this latest update, but if it's still occurring I am afraid I am unable to help you. I have had no issues with the game crashing at startup and if I can't recreate the problem then I can't fix it. My guesses are either that the DB conflicts with one you already have downloaded, or that there is some kind of issue with your computer; maybe hardware or some configuration. I do apologize.

If you're bothered, I figured out a way to replicate the bizarre 10-game CanPL spring season by using 3 hidden group stages. It may be worth it for the first season (10+18) before switching to the far more reasonable 14+14

Someone on Reddit claimed the CPL final will be two-legged but I've not seen anything to support that :rolleyes: you can also give the overall points leader hosting rights with a combined table

I appreciate that, but I actually didn't realize the match schedule was 10-18. I just hadn't read the format closely enough and made an assumption. I've fixed it and re-uploaded.

Thank you. That's the first official link I've seen referencing a two-legged championship.

Same. One has to assume the overall points leader will get the second leg at home, but who knows. Away goals? ET/pens? They probably haven't even decided yet

Noticing that you can't select a team for CanPL if you select it to start in 2019

I'll look to see if I can sort that. I think I know why and how to fix it. Thank you for the feedback.

What was the issue? Just wondering in case I come into similar problems.

I can't say for sure why this is the case, but when the first stage of some of the competitions I create is either a "group" stage or a split season stage (Opening Stage, Spring Season, etc) it won't allow you to select teams. So what I do to circumvent that is I create an initial league stage that gets all of the competition's teams and I make it hidden and set it to not generate any fixtures.

Are you referring to one of the Caribbean Leagues? I only have Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico from the Caribbean region as playable but if you choose one of those then ye, you can start play in the Caribbean.

does the stage order strictly matter? Stage 0 could just as well be the overall table or cup, although changing the stage order now would be a pain

I could do the Overall Table first, but for me it's an aesthetics thing that is very easily remedied. The fix took me five minutes to put in.

And what is this file? I should not use it? That's why I am consfused. I do not know what is compatible with what and I don't want to start a game to find out in half a season that everything is messed up :)

----Central American & Caribbean Leagues - This file adds the national leagues for Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.

Its to help with the number of players being generated. Their competition is set as the USSDA Northeast so that they generate a youth intake, but they don't actually play in the competition.

Unclesam or anyone else, do you recommend “filling playable teams with players”?

will this possibly stop the USL 1-2 teams from poaching academy players?

I've tried not doing that, but it actually makes it slightly worse. That phenomenon does get better as the game progresses and the teams fill out,

Hello uncle_sam. First of all thank you for your amazing work. I was wondering if i could expand mls to 30 teams and eventually split each conference in 3 divisions. But how i could do that? Do i have to create in stage 0 the 6 divisions and then create 1 league stage for each conference and link the results of every groups to the right league stage.

so like this :

stage 0 group (6 divisions)

stage 1 league (east conference)

stage 2 league (west conference)

stage 3 league (global standing for east and west conference)

stage 4 wild card

stage 5 ecup

stage 6 wcup

stage 7 finale

I'm starting to find that the people having trouble are MAC users. I do not use a MAC so I don't know how to pin down the problem causing the crash.

Thanks for info, this made me to try a workaround and so far it works!

Basicly, I have also my destkop, which is Win10. So I set up a game there, created a save, transfer it to my Mac and so far it works great :)

I can share this clean save with you so it may help for people with MAC only.

Set up:
All your files slected
All NA Leagues selected
Big database with all NA players
Eaerly US pre-season start

The CanPL first season is qualifying a CONCACAF League team by only using the first few fixtures between 3 teams (I think Forge/Valour/FCE). I think I've managed to recreate it for the first year by forcing a hidden stage with those 3 teams to end early and send results to a special table

Thanks for your sharing. However, when I load your save, set myself unemployed and go on holiday, when the date comes to the first of January 2019, the football manager 2019 crashed and need to exit. Have you encountered this problem? I am the MAC user. Thank you.

Thanks, I will look into incorporating that. If you're willing to share your work, my email should be in my profile. Or you could message me with a link to the download.

Hey - reaching out again to see if anyone else is having an issue with players demanding new super high contracts in MLS.  Playing the NE Revs and about half the squad is looking for 500K+ per year.  I haven't even made it through the first season, but at this rate I'll have to cut most of the squad because I can't keep them under the cap.  It's not like we are top of the table either, currently fighting to hold onto a playoff spot. 

Didn't have this issue with an earlier version of the file.  I'm playing with the version previous to this latest one.

Not really, it works ok for me.

But I never went to holiday, why you do that?

I saw that, but there is nothing official; no official announcements on clubs or when the expansion(s) will officially occur.

Uncle Sam, just a heads up. I made it to the Sudamerica  as FC Cincinnati and once the games are scheduled you're never prompted to register for the competition. So once you actually get to the game, you're presented with a tactics screen that doesn't allow you to select any of your players. I had to go on vacation in order to move forward and have the game be played.
