Is there a way to change affiliate B team status to pro?

[Orion_]

My B team is not within my club. It's made as my club's affiliate. Is there a way to force them to go pro? Since them being semi-pro means that they have 3 days a week training regimes and not every day and this can possibly hurt my players development.

Also there is very weird interaction because they have access to only 3 of my coaches (1 of 2 fitness coaches and 1 of 2 goalkeepers coach and 1 regular coach).

Any ideas how to fix this training issue?

They'll go professional as soon as they reach the 3. Liga (assuming you're in the Bundesliga). Before then, baring using the pregame editor, I don't believe you can make them become professional.

That's why I never liked the 'Affiliate B-team' thing. Why they can't set all B teams as part of main club? Affiliate B-team only brings issues and limitations. Them being semi-pro or even amateur for other clubs (while main club is semi-pro or pro) makes for example that you can only hire staff on semi-pro/temporary contracts which sometimes limits by a lot people that you can actually hire.

I wish I'd be able to just break this affiliation and ask board for u-23 team because it would probably be part of main team but it's not possible legitimate way to break affiliation with B-club as far as I know.

I think it might so that they can set the rep to whatever they want, as if it's part of the main club it will always be Main Club rep / 2

Also so you can see their achievements, and league histories.

If anyone would care for reserve team achievements. I'd rather have more direct control over B team than some historical data stuff.

The things you pointed out are just not worth it at all in terms of Football Manager and the drawback is huge.

I, of course completely agree with you, I just think that that could be the reasons for why SI does that, and hope they can change it.
