itsmb8 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I have a question for you Uncle_Sam.... I see youve added the International Champions Cup in this expansion. My question is, if I download another database addition that ALSO has, for example, the ICC, do you now have two of the same tournament in your save? Or does one essentially overwrite the other and prevent duplicates? EDIT: You suggest yellowsweatygorilla's Canadian expansion as a complement to this and, as i can tell, both additions feature the CONCACAF Champions Cup, so I assume there are no duplicates to worry about?

Sabres1986 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Sam.. I started with a Brazil 2018 start date to prep for my MLS Academy as I am currently playing as them. I got to pre-season friendly games in February exactly at February 9th 2019 however my games do not show up in the schedule tab but they do on the calendar does the US schedule no get announced until near March when the league begins or is it something where i have to sim to 2020? Just tested a new save and started on January 6th 2020 and still no scheduled posted under the schedule tab... Ive checked NCAA, and academy both arent working not sure if it is a database or fm20 bug Edited February 9, 2020 by Sabres1986 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loaded in all three editor files to test it (your ICC file, the ICC + Futures youth tournament file, and the preseason comps file which includes the ICC) and I did have multiple ICC competitions in my save. So i went into the pre-game editor included with the base game on steam and deleted the ICC competition from the youth tournaments file and the preseason file, and that seems to have done the trick!

You can get players from the waiver draft which is what I did (then traded them for draft picks and then used the draft picks for even better players). The fact the academy works now is perfect. I have picked a couple of decent players from there. The fact they are free is an added bonus. Best to get a scout with decent JPA to give you a report first. Before this expansion (original database) I had an amazing squad and was unbeaten in the league. I had Morris, Dwyer, Yueill, Lima, Luis Filipe and countless others. I'm trying to get the same players in this expansion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobybilton1 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Am I correct in thinking that this update does not include players moves, ie can we still build Inter Miami up from nothing? Or does it have the likes of Lewis Morgan, Nguyen, Robles, etc etc already there? (On a side not, the squad they've built is fantastic, better than what LAFCs was when they entered the league) Also, when adding the unzipped files to the editor data folder, do they each need specific folders within the editor data folder or can the files (extension, global comps, domestic comps, extras) all just be dumped in there?

Blank slate. Only players there are the 4 out on loan and George Acosta coming in January 2020. Agree with the team they have built though, looks good and they still have 2 DP slots available. All editor data files can just be dumped into the 'editor data' folder and the kits/logos into the 'graphics' folder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle_Sam Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Graphics Update: This will not require a game restart. It's just an update of the 3D kits.

tobybilton1 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 So last night I smashed through with Inter Miami from Feb 19 to Jan 2020... but around August/Sept time when the NCAA Championship began I assigned the competition to one of my scouts... but all I received were reports on a couple players from the Miami Academy. I assigned another scout towards the latter stages, around three weeks of the competition, but didn't get a single report. This was all in prep for my first SuperDraft. Around the time of the draft, I then tried to scout the combine... but I was unable to get team reports (and therefore individual player reports) of the four teams... This then meant on Draft day I was getting basic reports from my DoF, who I think at Miami has Judging CA of 15 but PA of about 10. Not ideal. When assigning my scouts to 'Scout for one week' the reports would not have been in in time. I had second pick and grabbed a decent GA player, but my other picks were pretty dull due to the lack of knowledge of the pool. @Uncle_Sam am I missing something blind and obvious when scouting the NCAA? At some stage all three of the NCAA competitions in the screenshot below had been assigned, but mainly I had been scouting 'NCAA D1 Soccer' I think - I thought this would scout the 24 conferences? Is there a specific tournament inside the NCAA which requires scouting if preparing specifically for the draft? And any tips on the how to scout the combine/draft thoroughly would be appreciated. Please excuse if I have missed something obvious. Great database though, get the feeling i'll be hooked on this save for quite a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Sam Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 The scouting in the USA is a bit of a headache because of hard coding. For some reason SI has really handcuffed scouting with MLS teams. Unfortunately there is no way to change how it works without losing some of the important rules that makes playing MLS in FM realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, managing FC Cincinnati I get the option to create a II team in 2020. If I create it though, it just stays in the "lower leagues", without playing in any actual competitions.

EnigMattic1 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Alright mate, I think the latest update has done something to the competition names.

citizenlewis Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 For some reason my game keeps crashing when I view some of the screens in the finance tab. From memory it might be the turnover and projection pages. A message briefly pops up which mentioned something about being Out of memory. Not sure why this would be. Otherwise the game works fine so long as I avoid those pages. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? I know it probably goes without saying but I absolutely love this expansion. So much detail. I never knew an MLS save could be so compelling. The draft system and all its myriad of rules and regulations are as frustrating and they are fascinating (all of which makes for a save I just can’t put down). I only really get to play in the very late evenings now I have a family and my once previous sleep has taken a massive hit at the expense of this save.

citizenlewis Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Any one know what to do if the Superdraft doesn’t take place in 2020? This is not a major issue in itself (I am sure it is just a first season glitch) except for when trying to negotiate trades with rival teams who keep asking for the now past 2020 picks in return for their international slots. As the 2020 picks are greyed out it means I can’t accept their proposed deal. I can only suggest it back to them which they then refuse to accept or the deal falls through (despite being their proposal in the first place). I imagine this is because the draft has now passed. I have tried to structure deals based on 2021 and 2022 Superdraft picks, but with them being less valuable in game at this time rival teams either reject them or counter asking for my 2020 picks. Not sure what to do? I need a way to make the 2020 picks disappear off my draft page and the game to recognise that it has passed. Has anyone else had this problem?
