sit8 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello everyone, I am writing to ask for help with the editor. My idea would be to create a db that puts a limit of 4 foreigners in all leagues, mainly in europe. This I think would equalize Europe and America and add a point of difficulty to the game. In short, a db that limits 4 foreigners registered and playing in all leagues or at least in Europe. Thanks and sorry for my english from google translator.

Wolf_pd Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 For each country you want that rule in, you will have to edit the nation rules in the advanced rules In the Rules menu go to Add Nation Rules. Add Nation Rules for your country of choice and choose for extra Cup or Lower divisions. From there convert to Advanced Rules (via the Rules menu again) and then you can start changing (or adding) the Foreign Player rules. Btw, this is the quick explanation, since I don't know your experience with the editor. It might take a bit more work so take a look around first.

palmamiguel92 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) but in some nations he won't be able to verify the rules because there will be errors in the leagues, requiring further editing in the league structures. I didn't have this problem ast years, but in fm20 its all over the place Edited April 18, 2020 by palmamiguel92 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That's mainly because of the changing rules. Several nations have future changes in the mix. It is realistic, but a bit annoying. And let's not forget the Bury party in England.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sit8 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well I have been modifying as Wolf_pd told me and I have only had problems in the Netherlands, England and Ireland (I suppose that the latter for Brexit). In the editor it does not give me a fault, but the changes do not come out in the game. In the countries where I had problems with the original country I modified a downloaded update, but in the Netherlands it did not work.

I can explain with screenshots of how to increase the limit My idea is to put a limit of 4 foreigners in Europe so that it is like before the Bosman law and that the countries have to take care of their youth academy. Well and now that I have more or less 15 countries that work, can you put all the modifications in a single file? And another question can I modify with the advanced rules so that a certain team has to play only with players from its youth academy? Or restrict to hiring only players of a nationality or region? And above all, thanks for answering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Restricting one team is not possible (assuming you mean something similar to the Basque model. Putting the changes into one is only when you export them as XML and then combine the XMLs which is quite a bit of work and prone to error. What was the issue in the Netherlands? I have been prodding around there a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sit8 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 In Netherlands the error is when I upload the file in the game, I get different registration options depending on the team it is but never the rule of 4 maximum foreigner. Regarding England, any ideas? because if you don't change the rule they will take all the players easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 England is an issue with Bury being excluded at the start of the season. Adding Bury back to the competition is the easiest. Ok, haven't seen that one yet for the Netherlands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmamiguel92 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) So far i noticed issues editing in Belarus, Bulgaria, Belgium, Romania, Portugal (England i didn't try) Edited April 19, 2020 by palmamiguel92 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sit8 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) For now I have problems with England, Scotland, Sweden, Netherlands and Croatia. In the Netherlands, Sweden and Croatia there is no player registration period, could that be the problem? When I am in the game there is no registration but if I look at the competition rules it says that they are limited to 4 foreigners. Checking in the editor, in the first Polish there is no problem but in the second division I have the registration problem, checking in the second division there is no registration date Edited April 20, 2020 by sit8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The Netherlands don't have a registration period, that's correct. I just changed the rules for Poland, but didn't have any trouble there. Was an hour of work with all the other edits as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sit8 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 I keep working and testing things. How do I limit foreigners in the Champions League and Europa League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be because of the registration period, but then the question is how your rules are exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuko Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Portugal and Scotland have issues with testing the rules without any changes made. I have a similar setup to what @sit8 is asking for but I made different rules per country. I have successfully managed to add this change gradually after the first couple of seasons (starting from a limit to 10, then to 8, then to 5 for some, others go directly to 5, others go to 7 first etc) but I cannot make Portugal or Scotland work. A workaround for some of the leagues would be to add an additional rule of no more than x foreigner players in the match squad. With Portugal I get an error saying that some regional Azores youth league has more teams than required. So this creates a problem as typically Celtic, Benfica and Porto keep having 15 foreigners or so while the rest of the world is restricted to 3 and 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 For Portugal check here Scotland went without issues for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
