[FM23} England Level 8 DB

andys7_3 · November 10, 2022

Hi guys & girls

Have added and activated Levels 7 & 8 to the England database.

Rebuilt the FA Cup to include all rounds as IRL so have added all 16 Level 9 leagues to the competition to give 732 teams which have entered the competition this season. (had to add Wallingford & Crowmarsh to Combined Counties Premier Division North as this was the only club missing from the 16 leagues that make up level 9) to get the correct number of teams.

All rounds in the FA Cup are played on correct dates except 5th round as moved that back to a Saturday as it used to be before FA had this stupid midweek idea. This is the only change made to competition, all winners & losers prize money for each round is correct is correct as stated on FA.com website. All rounds have correct names as well. Have added back in the TV dates that were in original database as they were except adjust Round 5 dates to match up with the Saturday that ties are now played on.

FA Trophy has also been rebuilt to include all 320 teams in Levels 5-8 as IRL. All rounds have correct dates, round names & prize money as stated on FA.com website. Also have added in TV coverage for the Final as satellite as is the case IRL with £50000 to be split been the finalists.

Have run DB on holiday to stress test for 10 seasons & found a couple issues where I had FA Cup not working properly. These issues were fixed & a 2nd 10 season stress test was carried out, which ran smoothly without any issues.

I feel confident now with the database & want to share it with other users who are looking to play in lowest possible league in England on release of game.
