Popular Post fifteenminutes Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) First of all, this is a big undertaking. I’ve never went this deep into the editor before creating something like this. This is based on real life, so drafts, trades, salary cap etc still exist as they do in real life. Real players, staff, referees, media will be included as far as possible. There will also be an add on to include extra cities/towns in every US State.

EnigMattic1 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) That is a hell of a lot of work. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Out of curiosity, do you plan on doing anything with MLS Next and Next PRO? Edited February 26, 2022 by EnigMattic1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Next PRO was added in the winter update, how accurate it is, I don't know. As far as Next goes, I have absolutely no idea how that is set up. I had a quick look and all I could find was that there is around 560 teams from 133 clubs across various age groups. I must stress though, it was a "quick" look 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifteenminutes Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I just wanted to add as a side note.

fifteenminutes Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I said in my last post I wasn't going to do much due to being sick, well, I lied. I've made alot of changes today: I have started making sure all clubs have the correct stadiums, colours and information. US Soccer is so badly represented in football manager (as a whole) that it makes databases like this take much longer. I'm also having issues with certain cup competitions not showing up in games which I'll hopefully be able to rectify before I shut the editor tomorrow night before my holiday! It's coming along great, other than that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifteenminutes Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 It irks me when people say that the USA should have a promotion-relegation system.

If you look at how many leagues there actually are in America, you'll see it would be a complete nightmare. And when you take into account NCAA, it just isn't practical. You can almost guarantee that those who say it should have pro/rel just look at it as MLS/USLC/USL1 and not how many "regional" divisions a league is split into.

owncredible Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I’m really excited for this. You’re doing a lot more than I would ever do. I actually was debating on creating my own USA database for FM23, but I backed out due to how time consuming it would be. I do have a question, though. How are you determining what high school teams to add? Obviously, there’s so many schools that you can’t put them all in. Are you just putting like the top schools from each state or are you making it a mix of small schools and large schools? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifteenminutes Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Level 9 downwards are all amateur leagues (NCAA & youth). I was going to add them as 'reserve competitions' but then thought it would be better to put in age restrictions for each league, so only youth players will be eligible and you can coach any team you like. Age restrictions for each league (as of 03/29/2022) is as follows: Level 9 (max 23 min 17) Level 10 (max 23 min 17) Level 11 (max 23 min 17) Level 12 (max 20 min 15) Level 13 (max 19 min 15) Level 14 (max 18 min 15) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifteenminutes Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I have now updated the original post to contain some HS leagues/conferences. California's Sac Joaquin Section includes conferences from seven different divisions, which is why there are so many. Schools are assigned to conferences/leagues according to NCS alignment, but in football manager terms, it doesn't really matter. All conferences will get a chance for state & national championships, regardless of their NCS alignment in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifteenminutes Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) The structure of the HS system may change and each state league structure may become it's own level within the pyramid. I'm still trying to figure out the best course of action to take. I have had too many issues with the pyramid as it is, so when I get home I'm going to start from scratch and create all competition rules etc as I go along. Hopefully this refrains from too many more errors. It's not a big loss because I'd only set up MLS & USLC anyways.

fifteenminutes Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hello! I just wanted to apologise for my radio silence regarding this project recently, as I know people are anxiously waiting for a release date. Fact is, I'm probably not going to give a definite start date. I still have a lot to add (I'm currently creating all competitions, then I'm going to resume with teams). I am still working on this and it's definitely something I want to finish, but I also want it to be the best it can possibly be so you can all get the best out of it. I apologise for the delay again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
