I probably won't include it until L1BC comes to fruition. I used to have it in, but the reason is that I want some depth to the divisions I add, and until the BC league gets to a div 3 level and has information on players, I don't think I'll commit to it. The only reason I added Alberta MSL is because the cav/edm reserves play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my original plan, but after examining the DLC, I realized it was better to just use my version of the premier league until SI works out the kinks. For example, the official DLC is missing the Concacaf League season 1 qualification rule where only Valour, Forge, FCE can qualify, and AI doesn't know how to operate under a salary cap, consistently offering huge contracts to average players, thus necessitating a tiny squad (this is oddly fixed by removing the cap). The only advantage is the working Canadian starter rule for the Canadian Championship - in my version, the Canadian MLS teams are able to circumvent this with Americans as they count as domestic for some reason (but conversely, the officially DLC only has the 2019 rules, so Ottawa Fury never goes defunct and you can't play 2020 rules when it comes to that year). Hoping SI addresses these problems - then, I can just plop in the lower divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had downloaded your mega patch and started an MLS save with it loaded but found that NO Mexican teams were qualifying for the Champions League, so I decided to use the DLC. I know from my own experience in the editor that getting the right (and right number) of Mexican teams to qualify for the CCL when you recreate it in the editor is difficult, which I assumed was what was happening. Love all the work that you and your collaborators have put into this - it's really impressive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One stop gap - though you lose the season 1 qualification rule is to just not activate my continental file. Since SI has now added the CONCACAF League, it may no longer be necessary to use my file.

A good way to check is to see whether a competition titled 'mexican qualifiers' shows up. That's the placeholder comp I use to load the Mexican teams. Other possibility is that another file you loaded is overwriting those competitions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youth intake will have to be loaned out. b) I can't remember tbh. I believe it's after the season ends? c) I had not realized uncle sam's file was out. I will work at making the next version compatible! Hypothetically though, it should work with the exception of the 2019 season as it took special coding due to the unique qualification rules for Concacaf League year 1 (only forge, fce, valour matchups counted) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's greyed out, it's likely the error caused when you also try to load MLS.

Maybe a minor issue, but it seems that most players at every club in the CPL have a salary of 0 (zero) I don't think that's supposed to happen? The reason I left it at 0 (which means the game generates it based on ability/reputation), is that salaries aren't publicly released. While I actually do know the salaries of quite a few of the players (I just wrote an article on the need for a player union and allude to some of the salary issues -> https://northernstartingeleven.com/opinion-cpl-players-union/), until they're publicly confirmed, I rather just keep it this way. That said, as far as I know, most players have wages generated between $10000 to $40000 so I'd say it's pretty accurate Edited February 23, 2020 by yellowsweatygorilla 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This DB is absolutely amazing . thanks! tbh, one of the issues though is given the subpar - average facilities and coaches, I noticed that players in CanPL only seem to improve 2-3 CA after 4-5 years in the league. I am tempted to make a private version and up all these things just to make development more realistic. Like a couple have pretty high PA, but they don't seem to ever go anywhere. At best they'll jump to some Middle Eastern League like UAE (I dno why it's such a popular destination) but they don't improve much there eihter.

I would say age goes from 17 yrs aka when you graduate high school in Canada 18 max until 21/22yrs of graduating University max. It does not even have to be a U Sports Draft either like in real life.
