jimdownunder Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Hello to the Football Manager community and Merry Christmas in advance. I have finally got my final edited and tested versions of New Zealand league, along with the Oceania Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup working and mimicking their real life formats. I won't go into great detail about what is in each file as I will leave it as a surprise to those of you who play, but the Club World Cup is correctly qualifying the 7 respective teams and randomly choosing venues. The only small glitch is the two big sides from the Libertadores and Champions League play each other in the semi if the host is a European or South American nation. Otherwise it runs in December of each year because why change a format that isn't broken? The games are played at neutral venues as well. The Oceania Champions League now has the correct format with the preliminary phase played at a rotating central site and the group stage being played at four determined Pacific Island venues (makes it harder for the NZ teams to win every year). The quarterfinals have the first place group stage teams playing against the second place teams with the exception of playing the same team from your group (the real life competition rules exclude this). It is a single leg knockout phase played at the home stadium of the top seeded teams. I included a screenshot of the Auckland City competitions page as I was testing with them to see if the competitions were all working correctly. It is with great pleasure that I can finally offer a quality solution for anyone wanting to play in Oceania and for the people in the community who want a different kind of challenge. I give permission to anyone who wants/needs to use my files in the implementation of their projects. I am aware that @adriano roberto and the Brazilian community are in the process of making their yearly file, so hopefully the Club World Cup can help you guys out. I threw in an updated Florida Cup preseason cup file that is played between a handful of teams from the Americas in January each year. In real life this hasn't started up again but I am sure in future years it will be back. Merry Christmas and I wish everyone the best of luck in their saves.

Hey guys, I spotted a small error in the general competition rules for the league divisions and regional and national cups. Trialists were allowed to play and I have tidied up the age group competition rules. Here is the fix.

jimdownunder Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Merry Christmas to everyone. I have released the final edition of my files with everything working flawlessly between the divisions and teams staying where they should after I put some city boundaries in for each division. Because it is not a dynamic relegation system sometimes a few teams will move between divisions to compensate but in the main part the large majority of teams stay in their divisions. I also updated the FIFA Club World Cup to show neutral venues in the 2022 edition with the real life teams for this season. Enjoy.

MJB1986 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Is it possible to add Australia to the Oceana Champions League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you add Australia to the nations index of the Oceania file you can replicate this. I won't be doing it as I wanted my file to be based on the real life setup in New Zealand. The Oceania Champions league and Club World Cup were difficult to setup and I imagine that integrating Australia into Oceania in either file could cause problems.

TheBigPog Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Thanks for this mate, only thing I noticed is that the prize money looks a bit weird as you get $1m for losing fifth round playoffs but nothing if you win - is this an editor bug?

First of all Happy New Year to everyone. I have had a look in the editor and that seems to be a bug because in the fifth place playoff both teams should get $1,000,000 which I guess is this in pounds, but it shouldn't signal out the loser for an extra payment. I will have a play around with the prize money and see if it makes a difference. If I can get it working better I will make an amendment and submit a new file.

jimdownunder Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Here is the file with the amended prize money to download. It should be as follows: First Place $5,000,000 Second Place $4,000,000 Third Place $2,500,000 Fourth Place $2,000,000 Fifth Place $1,500,000 Sixth Place $1,000,000 Seventh Place $500,000 FIFA Club World Cup.fmf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be a pain, I’ve found another glitch which I’m looking to try fix this one myself but thought I’d raise it here too so other people don’t run into the same thing like I did. The glitch is in the Oceania champions league file- appears Papua New Guinean teams are not getting allocated a group after the first season, instead everyone in the qualifying is advancing. I suspect putting the maximum amount of teams advancing from the qualifying might fix it, but not been able to test this idea yet.

I am playing a save with the files in 2027 and the group stage of the Oceania Champions League is working perfectly. Did you test out the new Club World Cup file to see if the prize money is correct? I see 10 people have downloaded that file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you test out the new Club World Cup file to see if the prize money is correct? I see 10 people have downloaded that file. The prize money for the Club World Cup seems to be working in a way that provides an incentive to win each game, albeit not exactly as listed. I’d be happy to try a long term save with that. 7th - $500k 6th - $500k for losing Quarters + $1m 5th - $500k + $1.5m 4th - $1m for losing Semis + $2m 3rd- $1m + $2.5m 2nd - $1.5m for reaching final + $4m 1st- $1.5m + $5m I’m going to try again for the Oceania Champions League. I highly suspect this might be down to me mixing and matching different editor files so I’m going to make sure it has the same qualification logic in each country as your New Zealand file and we’ll see what happens.

TheBigPog Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Right think I found the issue, the loaded editor leagues needed this . This does not appear to be 100% working as sometimes it takes the current top two in Solomon Islands and Tahiti so will have to play around with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially it was 24 and now they are talking about 32. The in game version is 24 teams I believe. If you don't want to use the existing 7 team format just untick my file at the start of a game and it will revert to the in real life system which is 24 teams every 4 years if I am not mistaken.
