anitamui Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi, May I releaseĀ a version of your db with NPSL and USASA teams playable? @Uncle_Sam I've made changes to the db so that you can play friendly as them also NCAA teams will sometimes join the Open cup starting 2020 in my version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrenlaquint Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 First, this expansion is pretty awesome. I'm an FC Dallas fan that really got into the first season championship run of North Texas SC and it's really great having something that let's me do more with the system than just playing FC Dallas games. I am running into something that's been game-breaking for me however with the expansion that I don't know how to fix. I've started a new game and have gotten through MLS preseason and into opening weekend just fine. However, I've hit the USL One registration date and for some reason do not have the ability to register a team. As such I'm not really able to progress. I'm not sure if I downloaded some wrong combination of files and unless I missed something I didn't see this pop up as a problem for anyone else in the thread but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for a solution? Ā Thanks Ā Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigMattic1 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 This may be a stupid question but I will ask anyway. Do the academy teams still get a youth intake? If so, roughly when does it happen? The main reason I don't understand this is because of the superdraft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get Jordan Morris on a DP contract as he is a high earner but the only options I have contract-wise are Senior or Senior Minimum Salary. Is there minimum requirements?

Just wondering if this was possible? I honestly don't know why that wouldn't be possible. It might even be possible to sign away MLS Academy players while they're still with the Academy. Obviously most countries won't allow the transfer to go through until they're 18, but I know you can agree to terms with players from US Academies that aren't MLS-affiliated.

My file pretends that the interruption in the league due to the Covid pandemic never happened. I also am aware that Charlotte, Sacramento, and Saint Louis have all delayed their entering the league. I tried to make this work but got a crash every time. The issue is with the 2021 season when MLS will have 27Ā teams. There is some bizarre hard coding with the league and the competition stages with MLSĀ so I hope that I will be able to make it work come FM2021 but right now it doesn't seem possible.

Uncle_Sam Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 By the way, big time props to @ryzyi. One of the issues we had was getting the NCAA D1 Soccer to show the combined (conference and non-conference) results and he solved that issue. He has done great work on this file and it wouldn't be as good without him.

strangerthankindness Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi all, don't know if anyone's interested, but I've just posted an update to my Club Banners/Adboard mod, and it includes about 58 AmericanĀ clubs, including all of the MLS and multiple lower-division teams. It also includes all of LigaMX, as well as multiple other higher-reputation squads from Central America and the Caribbean that you may come across in the CONCACAF Champions League. Also has all of the Argentine Primera Division, Brazilian Serie A, and many other Copa Libertadores-type teams. As always, this modĀ doesn't replicate exact adboards or advertisements there, but does reflect some of each team's support, banners, and colors. I had wound up managingĀ a few seasons with Oakland Roots, and it added a bit of flavor to the experience. Away games are much more fun to look at, anyway. Screenshots below, and for information on the mod just head over to the Skinning department. Hopefully some of you may find it fun; don't mean to hijack this thread, so any questions/comments about it should be left over there, thanks! https://community.sigames.com/topic/526957-fm-20-mod-custom-club-banners-and-fan-adboards-for-match-engine-release/ Examples: Atlanta Utd (TV view) Ā Inter Miami (behind the goal view) Ā LAFC Ā NYCFC (vertical scrolling view) Ā New Mexico Utd (behind the goal view) Ā Detroit City (side view) Ā El Paso Utd (tv view) Ā Oakland Roots Ā USL2 Generic adboards Ā 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
