lionel messi Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) I think i have fixed the playoffs issue for the Vanarama National North/South. I will know after the current test im doing if it is ok or not. Later i will try sorting Level 7-9 if all is ok with Vanarama Leagues.

After the 1st season there is not many Level 10 teams in the FA Cup 8 hours ago, FCUtdWill said: There should only be 9 clubs from Level 10 taking part in the FA Cup this season. The high majority of them are playing in the FA Vase. I’ve checked my records, no team from the Spartan South Midlands League Division One are in the FA Cup this season; only Kidlington Reserves, Letchworth Garden City Eagles, Raunds Town and Thame United Reserves are not playing in the FA Vase. So then I was lucky with my London Tigers =) Always good with extra cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to try and stop alot of Level 10 clubs getting into massive debt. There is 729 teams in the real FA Cup this season, how do you choose which 9 clubs get into the FA Cup from Level 10? What about FA Cup 2022-23? How many teams? Some leagues have increased number of teams in them also from Level 5+ Edited December 19, 2021 by lionel messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make them have a bit more money at game start, they shouldn't go into massive debts. As the 9 clubs are in 9 divisions, add the division and only choose one team from it, it'll be a random selection. Guernsey don't play in the FA Cup, so you can either add them or use another division from Level 10 to get that team. For next season and beyond, base it on this season. I imagine it'll be a few more than this season but I don't have the exact numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only issue is you end up with too many teams in the earlier rounds (preliminary, 1st round qualifying etc) which means you have to bring in higher ranked teams (level 7, 8 etc) earlier than in real life so you can eliminate more of them to get to to the final 32 by the end of the 4th Qualifying Round. It's a bit of extra income too - in most cases a managed team is going to get beyond the extra preliminary round so that's a guaranteed £1125 for winning plus £481 if you are knocked out next round.

Yes Level 7 teams. In my FA Cup 2022-23 No Level 7 teams should enter until the 1st qualifying round so it should just be 1st season only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydick Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) There are a number of people reporting bugs with the play-offs so personally I wouldn't spend time in the editor. Hopefully SI will acknowledge the bug and provide a fix asap. EDIT: I've just ran a simulation on the vanilla game, latest patch, no-addons/expansions and I get the same error with Vanarama North/South. I've updated the thread on the bugs forum with screenshots etc. Edited December 20, 2021 by andydick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groom84 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Just a small question regarding contract negotiations (amateur) for players: If I'm; just a little bit below wage budget and I still have around 10k£/$ in transfer money left and have quite a lot of cash in my budget >> am I still restricted from signing players? Right now, I can't offer players any bonuses at all (all locked at 10 in X currency) for the amateur 0 wage contract. (below in SEK currency.) I can only offer: Which is like 0 for the players, and ofc they reject. (PS: My board refuses to raise wage budget) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to try getting rid of a few players then, any on higher wages compared to the rest of the quad. Any reserves or u-18s that you dont need. You could also try reducing your backroom staff.
