Fmfan00 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Uncle Sam do you have Canadians as Imports in your save or is it non US and Canadian players as imports? I wanted to take one of the US expansion teams and sign a bunch of Canadian teams and that why I'm asking or am i better off going with a Canadian team? Also going by your youtube database file my understanding is that NCAA is 8 league games 10 non conference games and then if you get to the Championship if you go from round 1 to championship that is 5 more games roughly for a total of 23 games in total I put your club logos under logos/club/ then copied the folers was i suppost to put the files inside the NCAA directory to the logos/club directory or just put the ncaa logo directory in the logo/club directory as none of the logos or kits work Edited March 29, 2020 by Fmfan00 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had apparently at some point set the competition for Gate City (an Amateur club) as some league in Vietnam. It would not affect your save in any observable way, but it was causing problem for other Vietnam DB files. Sangue Blu pointed it out in an earlier post.

I would seriously doubt they would be. When SI acquire the licenses from leagues for FM, they only get it for 1 season. The CPL would be for the 2019 season. Ottawa didn't join the league until the 2020 calendar year. The only reason SI is able to include MLS expansion is because technically the process begins before 2019 rolls over into 2020 (expansion draft, etc).

districtxeneize Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello, First off, thank you for all the work you've done on this! Ever since they put out 20.0.04 I cannot start an MLS season in 2020. Is there a way around this? I even tried to play 20.0.03 and it now won't let me either. Also, I wanted to ask. Once I am able to start in 2020, is there a way to ensure all the correct teams (MLS, Liga MX, Central American teams, etc.) will play in CCL 2020 and is it possible to make sure the correct MLS teams play in Leagues Cup in 2020?

Ruh Roh Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 This is a big big ask but you're way better with the advanced rules/MLS editor than I am. I work on this file - do you think it would be possible to make an advanced rules file that starts with the 04 season rules (10 teams) and adds all the expansion teams (Philly, Seattle, Toronto, whoever) at the right times? I'll try to make it myself if it's possible, I'm totally fine with fudging the numbers a bit with scheduling or with something like Chivas USA. But do you think there's core "hardcoded" MLS stuff like superdraft and waivers that would just start, like, vomiting on the screen at me if I tried to make a 10 team MLS?

dim13 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Uncle_Sam, Sacramento, St Louis and Charlotte have their minimum age set to 21. All of the other MLS clubs do not have a minimum age set.

liverpool8 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hey Uncle_Sam, great work on this database! Been using it for months without any problems! However, I'm trying to set up a challenge so I've edited Charlotte Independence and Austin FC to make them into 2 different fictional clubs. All I've really changed is the details of the clubs, yet when I use the new merged database, the lower leagues aren't playable anymore when I attempt to start a new save. Any idea why that might be?

Thanks again! The workaround Sam describes in this post still works for me in 20.4 (but I saved a game setup file after using it so I just reload that game setup when I restart): On 03/02/2020 at 16:26, Uncle_Sam said: You can circumvent the "hard-coding" on the start date by going to "Add/Remove Leagues" and then choose Canada and de-select USA. Push confirm and choose the start date you want. Then you Click "Add/Remove Leagues" again select USA and push confirm. The start date will still be the Canadian date you chose and when you start the game it will be 2020. You need to have Canada selected for this because Canada (at least in the official DLC, not sure about other Canada DBs) has no 2019 start dates available, so when you add the USA and the hardcoding tries to reset to a 2019 start date,, it doesn't find one and just leaves things where they were. 2020 start dates seem to cause weird but not gamebreaking issues with the 2020 Superdraft (because it doesn't happen, but AIs seem to keep trying to trade 2020 picks through that season) and sometimes the 2020 March waiver draft (if I start later than 24 December, the game doesn't let me control the March waiver draft and it'll pick players for me that I don't actually want). CCL and Leagues Cup are harder to address: if you're somehow using the real results for MLS/Liga MX/etc's 2019 seasons then it should work out mostly fine (except for the spots assigned to the Open Cup/MLS Cup winners, since you can't include real results for cups or playoffs). Otherwise, I think you can use the pregame editor to choose specific teams for those competitions in 2020 but I don't know precise steps to do it, or whether you'd need to entirely rebuild those competitions in order to do so.

eusebio1 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 For me that workaround doesn't work; as soon as I try to add the USA the start-date jumps back from the Canadian 2020 to the US 2019. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timetxu Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I don't know whether this is either a bug or an actually realistical goal (given I've picked a resonably good college soccer program), but the semantics of it made me worry a little bit.

Spudbilly Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hello, Firstly, thanks for making this database. I have enjoyed it so far. However, I am having some trouble. What I am wanting to do is play with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. I chose this club because they have a vision for youth development. I want to build this team to a winning team with primarily youth system players. The USSDA Whitecaps Academy works well...they also have Fresno Affiliate from the United Soccer Championship League. However, players never are willing to sign for Fresno. I could, I suppose, use the editor to modify Fresno, and I started to. However, I thought that resurrecting Whitecaps FC II (B team) would be more fun as it sticks with the Whitecaps FC brand. Full game immersion!!! Unfortunately, using the editor to try to set this up is getting me frustrated. Here are the changes I made that I thought would do the trick... 1. made WCFC2 as not-extinct 2. added them to the USL Chamionship Western Conference 3. In the parent caps team page I set the WCFC2 to a B team designation Now, I thought this would be it. The team shows up in-game as an affiliate. Lower rank players automatically get sent to the team. In the editor, under competitions, it shows Whitecaps FC 2 as a member of the USL Championship Western Conference. However, there are no matches or season available in game in the matches screen. It just shows under matches per-arranged friendlies but no regular season matches or cup matches. Is this an issue where I need to increase the number of teams allowed in the chosen competition or what? I can use the editor basically, but resolving dynamic issues like this stumps me. All I want to do is have an active B team that I can develop players from the academy until they are ready for first team football. I know I could loan them out, and that has worked ok in the past. I would love to use a whitecaps branded team, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Thanks for any support and again...Thank you for creating this awesome database.
