sh3rvin Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Most of my experience is with using the basic rules for editing FM. I am tempted to start using the advanced rules instead but was wondering what are the pros and cons of using it versus the basic rules? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Pros: much more detail possible Cons: much more complex and sensitive to errors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasaiain Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The main benefits of the advanced editor are you can create much more accurate competitions, or create the most complex things you can imagine, including multistage completions and interconnected completions. The basic editor is just that basic. But there are many downsides to it It's not very forgiving, it is very hard to learn and in places not very intuitive, it provides very little guidance. It's very bloated, with so many options clearly added for one specific competition. It will fail to run at times without giving you a clear reason why. But when you can create something you dreamt up I find it very rewarding, much more so that the basic editor. First place to start is to find an existing country you are interesting in, and open it up and see how it's been done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alian62 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The Basic rules are very basic and the Advanced rules are more advanced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty217 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Why not use both? Personally I typically use basic rules to setup the basic structure of a league and then switch to advanced to fine tune things. Basic will do a lot of the work for you and produce fewer errors, especially good for things like setting up playoffs in a league, significantly easier in basic. Advanced lets you do extra things like setting up different amounts of TV revenue on a per match basis, depending on what type of TV/match it is or the reputation of the teams involved. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in the same way. Set up stuff in basic, sometimes set up things in such a way that it is easier to use or replicate things in advanced.

This is how i do things. I still haven't managed to create a competition from scratch in Advanced rules.... its the Cups/TV coverage which is the biggest point of me using Advanced rules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
