He's using my FM23 Caribbean Megapack. I'm hoping my FM24 Megapack will be done by next week, but editor bugs this year have been wild and it takes so long to figure out what is wrong this year.

I wonder if editing Australia has removed Auckland from the club world cup? What rules did you change?

Sint Maarten and Turks and Caicos Island teams have the same thing, the latter has accumulated quite a lot of Haitians!

That looks like a bug rather than intended behaviour. If the second placed Jamaican team wasn't registered in the league for some crazy reason it might pick you as the highest rep team that is eligible for the competition (e,g. if the Jamaican league didn't finish in time due to a funky international calendar). You'll be pleased to know I have dynamic qualification for the next release. I am doing my final checks for the first draft. The 4 most reputable leagues get 4 1st place and 4 second place teams straight into the Caribbean Cup, skipping the Caribbean Club Shield. The top 6 teams even get a 3rd place entrant (3rd place entries were new this year, although it didn't help Club Sando!).

This fixed my reserve league problem of not enough teams, but now they're not picking teams (I presume a different bug) The file came over from FM23 with basic rules and I made it advanced in the FM24 editor, just to add to the menagerie of problems. I've attached it without resolving the problem (to resolve it I had to put in required teams as others did) T&T2024 adv.fmf

Thanks, updated for the next data release

So far I have a working combined Caribbean cup with fixed teams (no dynamic settings). The dynamic one seems to work for the first year and then randomly assigns nations (I.e. first year its the big 4 with Cuba instead of the Dominican Republic, but then it goes off the rails).

Thank you for highlighting that. I had a look into it, even RSSSF seem unclear as they make a note not to include La Habana FC in the titles of Ciudad. It looks like when I first came on I thought they may have been merged, as a La Habana disappear and the players went over (La Habana wasn't based in Havana, but a town 30 odd miles outside or something) . My gut feeling remains that they merged- Cuba as you k ow has regional teams and it would be unusual to have two teams for a region. Perhaps before they had one for the city and one for the region and then they were merged in 2012. I'll have a think and update for the Winter update. Sorry I missed this last year.

Yup, I won't be quick though, work is crazy. If I am done by Christmas I will be surprised, but I'm hoping that given how much work I put in last year it should transfer over easier than in the past.

We could rebalance that ourselves as a community - it's likely a matter of raising ticket prices and TV revenue a little higher. If we could agree as a community something appropriate it would make it workable.

I had a Saint Lucian team get a rich backer in my game too (Platinum FC, appropriately. Their backer just withdrew support though, so their team of mostly expensive Jamaicans might be in trouble!). When you loaded your FM23 game did the Caribbean qualification not come over too? Mine did;

So a couple of islands have cool regional competitions. Saint Lucia, for example, has regional "all star" teams made up from the clubs in their region, for example Vieux Fort South would include players from the teams in that area. Grenada has something similar, those are the two I remember, but there might be more. The file you're using has effectively got the Caribbean shield, just integrated fully into the NACL. I'm wondering whether to separate it or not, as it's nice to have a trophy. Unfortunately they only live-streamed the matches and didn't record them, but I watched the mall (even posted on Twitter a best XI in my opinion). I'm hoping next year they do record it. Apologies for off-topic, but just to note I hope to have a dynamic NACL and feeding competitions, but not sure how to achieve that!

Please don't hold your breath - my job is full-on during term times so I don't realistically plan on being able to complete it before Christmas. I won't play until it's made, so it's a wait for me too!

I'll definitely be making it. Even going to try and add Trinidadian School football and accurate U20 competitions (who knows if it'll work). I can't start before official release as that's when the editor is out. I am hoping all-star teams work this year, as I had them all set up properly with the advanced rules last year, but they didn't work as the game clearly ignored them. I think it every year, but yes I'm hoping I can get it more fluid so you're not stuck in the earliest stages. I'm wondering if I have a hidden stage where the game ranks teams by their reputation and then use that to feed them into rounds... I've never been able to get something similar to dynamic coefficients work, but with the official coefficients being released it might be possible this year.

Crazy good stuff. I was wondering how you held on to Carillo, then I saw his WAGE lol. That's the sort of cash you have to lay down to keep him I guess? I'm genuinely shocked an American or Canadian team hasn't nicked him yet. He must be at his potential or nearly there.

Totally hijacking, but just to note that the French Caribbean has specific cup competitions for the French Cup qualifications in the editors :)

1. Cuba seems to treat these as separate, and a combined league stage is made misleading due to the randomness of excluding the bottom half of the Apertura for the Clausura. Turns out the league was bugged - Apertura winner wouldn't go through to the next round! I'm going to fix this bug in the next version. 2. There is already a grand final (Champions Playoff) for the competition. I'm not sure how ranking levels would play out with this league and it would take forever to work out (finish 8th in the Apertura, their lowest ranking is 8th, but what is the highest? If I set 0, is it saying they can finish first in the Apertura (false) or the whole thing?) The club's history graphs generally display this correctly. 3. I've incorporated this into the game - 15 home-grown club players, 25 home-grown from nation. I'm not sure the AI can handle more than that! 4. Interesting, I just used TV money as a quick and easy way to allocate money. I've done it more realistically for you in the next update - clubs now get participation money before the Aperture and Clausura, depending on if they are amateur (£2k), Semi-pro (£3.5k, so same money as I had before), or Professional (£7k, double the state subsidy). Relatedly, I've tried to put in national service, but not sure how that'll work.

Yes I do, no major changes but bug fixes. Will put accurate T&T Can't verify until this bug is fixed;
