goxmed Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I have resumed an old FM 2010 save that I had with a friend, where I am Barca and he is Real. We are now in the sixth season. The thing is that already during the first season, my Barcelona B got relegated from Division 2 B3, the third tier of the league system and the lowest available in the game. I would like to have them back among the available leagues, and later on get them to climb up to the second league. But they never manage to get up from the division they ended up in! I can not follow their exact results, but in recent seasons I have moved down players who are good enough to play in La Liga and checked their stats. The last season their goalkeeper has kept a clean sheet in 60 percent of the matches and they have two strikers who averaged almost 1 goal per game. The midfielders had a lot of assists and also a lot of goals. But they did not get promoted! I really do not understand how that team can not have managed promotion from the fourth league, both in terms of the quality of their squad and in terms of the amount of goals/assists/clean sheets from their players. I read in another forum that for teams who are out of the lowest available league, promotion is randomized based on some kind of lottery based on the clubs' rumors, but I do not know if that is true. Anyone who knows anything about this or have any tips on how I can get Barcelona B promoted from their division?

Baodan Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It's apparently random but influenced by your clubs reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is no way to improve the reputation of Barcelona B since I can't control them, right? From the editor, yes, but that is too late now I guess. Maybe when I give them good and famous players their reputation will also improve, I don't know. However, as I wrote in the other thread, I am gonna try that thing with reloading the date when they decide the promotions. Hopefully it'll work!

To my knowledge it's FC Barcelonas rep and not the B-teams that adds weight to the random decision regarding what team to promote. I guess it cant hurt to try and improve the B-teams rep just in case though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion is random but based on the clubs' reputation. So if you save and reload 10 times before the promotion dates the club with the highest reputation will be promoted more often.

Well, FC Barcelona's rep is already top of Europe but yes I'll do what I can to improve both Barcelonas' and Barcelona B's reputation. And then reload the promotion day many times. Thanks!

goxmed Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Update: I found out what date they decide the promotions, and reloaded that day over and over again to try to get Barcelona B promoted. It wasn't the same teams that got promoted each time, which gave me hope. But Barcelona B haven't got promoted any of the times... I have tried 20 times now, think I am giving up soon.

It's the same day as when it changes from one season to the next, when you see that the league tables get updated with the new teams. So I just took it day by day to see when they would update the league tables and on my save it was 9th of July. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ben Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 you might need to save it at the end of may and then holiday for a month for new teams to appear. Thats how it works in England anyway. If they don't appear then reload and holiday that month again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was quite many different teams that got promoted when I took vacation over and over again just from July 8th to July 9th though. Just never Barcelona B... But maybe if I take vacation for a month there is gonna be an even bigger spread, because then more of the season remains and the variation should be bigger. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just play like nothing season by season and hope for the best? Yes, if you're lucky they'll get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
