Waldo the Bear Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) The details of the database. A set of 10 closely affiliated and linked teams setup by a fictional billionaire with a plan to take over world football. Unlike the citygroup and redbull teams, this group stands to preserve national and local colours whilst boosting money into all the local areas. Each team shares the same board, owner and players move on loan regularly between teams. Every team is sponsored by one of many of Alexi Dios' companies (fictional). Download here: https://www.fmscout.com/a-apexgroup-fm22-database.html *I did not create this database* Credit to https://www.fmscout.com/users/trojanwarhorse.html The Challenge: Take over the world with the 9 playable teams in the Apex Group by winning the 24 competitions and cups outlined below. Starting with a manger with no coaching badges and Sunday league experience. Post a screenshot of your manager page to show you have the correct badge setup. You can start with any of the 9 teams. I have started with Apex Bandung as it was in the league with the lowest reputation.

trojanwarhorse Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Apex Bandung Are a great start, very easy to push them to the absolute best team in indonesia, breaking into the top teams in asia will be tough, thank you so much for taking such a passionate interest into my database, this is exactly why i made it. (Darmali Salim will be your best bet to that fame if you can keep him from the top clubs around the world) Also if you can check out apex lagos, i know they're unplayable but i added some really good old nigerian talent. If you haven't already also check out the 'what's new' text file in the zip folder, it has all the prospects i made for each time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly through my first season. Thanks for the work you put in. I like the fact that it is going to put me in leagues that I don't normally play, which means I have to learn all the weird registration rules etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, Starting in Indonesia is great too cause you can watch the Indonesian national team rise up through the ranks single handedly off the back of Apex Bandung. The MLS will definitely be the toughest to wrap your head round if you haven't already too many different rules for my liking, i'm trying to learn though.

Yeah haven't ventured into the MLS on FM yet but have been wanting to do a save for a few games now. So will be looking forward to that! Have heard the rules are a bit out there.

Waldo the Bear Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Apex Bandung Season 2021: First season done! Champions of Indonesia. Lost in the Semis on away goals of the cup after the team was absolutely decimated by international duty, basically had my under 18's playing in the second leg. Into the Asian Champions league next season so will aim to win the cup and see how we go in the CL and then look at moving on to maybe Apex Delhi or Apex Brasilia who were relegated to brazilian national third division this season.

Waldo the Bear Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Apex Bandung 2022: What a season! Won the Triple! Won the league with 6 games to go (see above). Won the super cup and the Indonesian cup easily.Had a deep riun into the Asian Champions League losing to another Apex club in Apex Tokyo in the Semi Final on pens anfter 120min 0-0 draw Had some great players join the club but found it hard at times to balance the 4 foreign player rule for the league. Apex Cairo are looking like they need a new manager so may aim for that as my next job! Could choose between these two for MVP: Wonderkid update (Wants to leave but managing to keep him due to his release clause): Challenge Progress: Total: 2/24 Top Leagues: 1/9 (Apex Bandung '21 and '22) Cups: 1/9 (Apex Bandung '22) Cont Cups: 0/5 CWC: 0/1 Edited August 16, 2022 by Waldo the Bear typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo the Bear Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Apex Bandung Season 2023: We did the triple again with an invincible season in the league only drawing one game. Lost to Apex Tokyo in the 2nd round of the ACL. Some of the Apex Clubs have mangers that are insecure in their jobs, so I am going to walk away from Apex Bandung and see if i can pick up one of those jobs as they come up.

M0xl3y Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hey, i'm trying to get this to work and when i originally used all the files india was messed up and had one more team than the max of the league so i fixed it and used the fix's editor data instead of the original group data and that keeps crashing. is there any way you can help me out to fix it or can i see if the files you have work for me? i wanna try the challenge but with all the issues i can't lol.

M0xl3y Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Starting my journey after mostly fixing things(Besides the blurry logos and non existent kits). gonna be starting in india. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0xl3y Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just signed the Wonderkid that was meant to be on Apex Delhi but wasn't. On another note, i guess that Apex Delhi won a Durand before i even got here but i'm gonna go for at least one more cup + the league before hopefully being able to move onto another club. The registration rules here are kinda weird and i don't really want to deal with them longer than i need to lol. will update either after the first season or when something interesting happens.

M0xl3y Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 So i haven't started the season just yet but a lot of other Apex teams(Everyone but Canberra) are currently in their seasons and well, I have some good and bad news. Mostly bad news. here's how the other teams are doing as of writing.Doing Well: Apex Tokyo: Not Doing Well: Apex Miami: They were also 26th out of 27 in the Supporters Shield. Apex Cairo: Apex Essen: Apex Liverpool:Relegated: Apex Bandung: Apex Brasilia: Very interesting stuff so far, i think this means my options may be wide open when i leave Delhi.

M0xl3y Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Update: so i accidentally saved over the main version of the save so i had to go to a secondary roller save (just one day back, don't think it affected much) but in good news i've solved the blurry logo issue in what i'm gonna call a fluke lol. as for the save itself i haven't been focusing on it as i've been messing around with lots of custom fictional nation mods but might play some of the save after posting this message. I think we're either in the #3 spot and guaranteed to be in the championship group soon or we are in the championship group. either way things are going well. also india's seemingly gained a 3-4 (game can't seem to decide because in one place it says 3 and another it has 4) AFC Champions league spots in various points of the tournament so we'll see what happens there. also gonna probably have to spend the 2nd season in Apex Delhi so we can pick up my first Durand Cup (Apex Delhi's second overall) and the league if i don't win it this time around.
