That depends entirely on two things, the state of the game and the FM Editor, and our sanity. We haven't done EEE since FM2016, so there would be a tremendous amount of work to do. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to do a lower league expansion 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of your releases and I really appreciate your mass editing works. An expanded English pyramid down to tier 8 or just tier 7 with league and county cups would mean pure joy for me. Fingers crossed! Thanks again for your precious dedication! P.S. I sent you a PM months ago about implementing real fixtures for lower leagues. Could you please provide me any suggestion on this matter? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please provide me any suggestion on this matter? Sadly I didn't pick up FM2019 and haven't been active in the community for a while, so I felt that I was not in a position to help. This link should be a great help to you. With that said, I did these fixtures solely in the FM2018 Editor. I would not recommend the same process with lower leagues as you'd have to do it several times just for tier 8/step 4. It is far better and a time saver to manipulate your data instead.

scottmcl84 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've tried using the template of this file to amend another league's fixtures, but can't get it to work. I change the competition ID and the actual fixtures, what else is required? Not sure what the "<string id="file" value="eng_prem"/>" changes to, and not sure what the "<string id="svvs" value="1830"/>" refers to. Can anyone help?

The dates are correct in the file. So the changes are being made in game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

@Mike_THFC Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi all, I've noticed in the Premier League there are only two games played on the final day of the season. Can anyone help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help? I've taken a look at this. The file indicates 10 fixtures on the final game day, but according to the game's files in the Editor two matches are scheduled to be moved to a Sunday on the final match day. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, and I know I have this same issue with my current game as I'm using the file but I'd need to check if this is also affected when not using the fixtures.

@Mike_THFC Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks for checking for me. Assuming the game still runs fine and no crashes? Edited May 3, 2020 by @Mike_THFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmastermind124 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have sought to update this file after achieving a working version of the winter break. Unfortunately due to a bug with real fixtures in the game, certain matches are being moved incorrectly. This is under review by SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
