Wolf_pd Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 If you look at the 1988 Concacaf Champions Cup you will see two US teams qualiifying, the Seattle Mitre Eagles and the Washington Diplomats, so there will be two US teams. Because of the changes in the US football landscape I am contemplating what the qualfiers are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 True. Diplomats were a first year team, but most of the players from the team that disbanded after winning the US Open went to Diplomats, so US Soccer might have decided the Diplomats were the continuence of that team.

Good suggestion. 22 minutes ago, Unknown Hacker said: Surely just take the MLS cup winner and the Open Cup winner? So Seattle and Atlanta.

Not sure about defending ASL champions, as they won the playoffs in august, while the Concacaf Champions Cup Diplomats games were already played in June.

Wolf_pd Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Tonight I have finished building the last international competition. So what is next? First is reviewing all competition to see if they work well and pick out those little errors. Next is moving players and balancing teams and competitions. And finally is releasing this beast, but you have to wait another week before I reveal the release date In the meantime I will release some more Foreign Players rules and post lists of the competitions I have done. Am I done after that? No, I have several upgrades in mind because I had to leave some stuff out because of time and calender constraints. These things will come in the FM21 release. Also, you might not realise this, but Iron Curtain 2020 will be my first ever release for FM. Yeah, I am not kidding here 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 After using a surprisingly simple tip by @Carlito85, Belgium was done in a breeze.

The players that are moved back are the ones that according to the 1988 rules should never have been outside their country, like the Albanians, Romanians, Bulgarians and Yugoslavs under 28, Poles under 26, Russians under 30, etcetera. Data for the 80s is OK-ish for the western european countries, but scarce at best if you go further east. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Just starting another nighttestrun, letting the computer work for me while I sleep. These should me the remaining balancing issues for the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The total amount of files is now 48, for a total of 3Mb size. Still a lot of player work to do, so there is a chance that I will move Eastern European players only and let the market do the rest ingame. Depends a bit on how much work I have updating the international competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Ok, roadblock at the moment. I ran a big test last night and suddenly noticed my East German teams were filled half with West German players I have an idea what the issue is, but this is a major blocker. East German players in West Germany is possible, the reverse is not. So while I am moving the East German players I have to find out where I took the wrong turn.

Could you tell me how to do this... I looked through your file from Poland but I couldn't find anything. Thank you in advance! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 That's a little trick that works slightly different than you might expect. Players being transferred outside their nations is decided in the transfer preferences of other nations. And not in the transfer preferences of Poland The screenshot is that of the Republic of Ireland. The red block makes sure that no player before the age of 26 can be moved out of Poland to Ireland, because no Irish team will do so. The blue block means there is some movement, but limited.

Wolf_pd Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Also, let's say you want only to limit transfers from, say, England. That doesn't mean you need to build files for the other nations, you can simply make one file with all the chances. If you look in the download in the first file, you see the South America, North America, Asia, Africia and Oceania files there, these contain (among others) the transfer preferences for each nation of that continent.

Samuel77 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Thank you very much! That's clever, I'll look at the other files to see how it works.
