Popular Post Weiry Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) The Return - Football Manager 2022 After a year break the Australian Promotion/Relegation Pyramid is back by popular demand with 14 levels (107 competitions) and 1334 clubs. Do you have what it takes to climb the pyramid and take your club to national glory and beyond? The Structure The A-League is now rebranded as "A-League 1" and has expanded to 16 clubs (new clubs are Auckland City, the returning Gold Coast United and new franchises Tasmania United and Canberra United) Two new professional leagues "A-League 2" and "A-League 3" consisting of 16 clubs each. Most of these clubs are from the NPL but also see the return of defunct clubs North QLD Fury, FNQ FC Heat and a new club in Darwin. Other additions to the “A-Leagues” include more prize (and participation) money, the removal of the salary cap, and slight increase of foreign player spots, Under these three professional leagues are 9 regional zones. Each zone has a "State Premier League”. At the end of the season the 9 winners from the SPL go into a league playoff with the top two teams securing promotion to the “A-League 3” competition and obtaining professional status. Each Zone has its own structure that includes promotion/relegation from the top to the bottom (as detailed in the image below) Each zone also has its own knockout or “state” cup with the winner (and sometimes runner up) qualifying for the national FFA Cup which includes the 48 A-League clubs. Expanding the national cup competition to a 64 club format. Download You can download the full promotion/relegation pyramid database from the following link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/zacok7dmmh80iaz/Australia+Full+Promotion-Relegation+Pyramid+(14+Levels).fmf/file Or simply subscribe to the item on the Steam Workshop at this link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2657501361 A logo pack is in the works which will make every clubs’ logo appear in the game. Any questions or issues send let me know and I'll be happy to assist. Preview Screenshots Spoiler Edited November 18, 2021 by Weiry 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alian62 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I wish Australia would get itself sorted out in relation to pro-rel. Although it won't work in a country of this size it would have to be modelled on the USA style but Perth is so far away from bloody everything its always a travel issue and money . Its a 2 - 5 hour flight for a Perth team for every away game and visa versa but an eastern states team would only come here only 1 - 2 times . Im not sure if travel fatigue is in this game . Look forward to seeing your finished game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiry Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Things are looking great so far and I am anticipating a Friday/Saturday release. The only issue is with the U21/U18 leagues which will unfortunately for now have to be generated which is far from what I had planned due to a bug where promotion/relegations don't seem to be working correctly (for some reason 4 clubs are being relegated from each division despite being set at 2 - in all my years of editing I've never seen anything quite like it!) - thankfully the main pyramid is unaffected and works seemingly flawlessly. I just have to setup regional playoffs for lower leagues then run a few more tests and then it should be good to go! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahyun Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Cheers for this Weiry. Absolute legend. Got a question though, are you cool with me renaming A-League 1, 2 & 3 to A-League Premiership, Championship & League One?? Obviously solely for my own use.

The reason why it is 1, 2, & 3 is because I took a bit of inspiration from the Japanese pyramid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alian62 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Huge Effort so congrats . A few issues 1 ... Relegated teams dont go to there relevant states so for example a NSW team ends up in South Australia . 2 .... The WA NPL division does not have 14 teams it only has 12 and 6 of those teams are now not in that division at all . I think this is from your work from a few years ago so it probably needs revising . Well Done though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Done though I've tested thoroughly and have never seen clubs moving to the wrong states as for the WA division it is expanded and not the real life competition - pretty much all states have 14 clubs (except for Northern Territory) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmarkcorcoran Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 i cant seem to get this to work alongside a NZ one, i assume its due to Auckland. If i change to min 15 in a-league 1 could that fix it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

asapas Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 There seems to be a problem with the file. When you go to load the countries, Australia can't be seen, there is a little red danger sign with an explanation mark inside and it says this '' Minimum of 16 teams required for A-League 1, found only 15'' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend opening the NZ file into the editor and moving a lower league NZ club into the Premiership.

The aardvark Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Awesome work.

Out of curiosity where does Auckland City/Wellington Phoenix end up if they get relegated from AL3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was a bug with promotion/relegation for the custom youth pyramids so I had to revert to generated teams (so those youth teams in the editor aren't actually featured in game anyway) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weiry Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Just to confirm - Auckland City and Wellington Phoenix are unable to play in the Asian Champions League. BTW if anyone has found any bugs or issues or have recommendations to improve the file let me know and I'll try to fix/implement for the next update. I've also added many more clubs to the database so there'll be more competitions added (particularly regional Western Australia and regional South Australia) and more clubs in the existing competitions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Hey mate, amazing work like always with this. Would you forsee any problems with using some other editor files alongside this? Thinking the NZ league update more specifically so there's a little extra in the player pool around Australia. EDIT: Guessing from a little exploring on my own end any NZ editor files might not work, but other countries shouldn't be affected too much?
