Okay I can confirm that on January 1st it reverts back to normal. However, that's extremely annoying. That's 15 important days to make deals that you're missing. Additionally I had a guy on loan, where the loan was ending, and I could not really determine if I kept him on loan how much space I would have left, if I made changes to the other players' registration. The registration screen reverts back to normal after the guy's loan ended.
This one is specific to the screenshot above, too. Because Julian Carranza was taken from me in the expansion draft, I now probably had space for this guy, but I couldn't tell because it was stuck on the expansion draft registration screen until Jan 1, and by that time the guy was gone.
So please have it revert back to normal the day after the draft.
The registration isn't enforced until compliance day in late February so it's not a big issue. It shouldn't be stopping you from doing anything. You don't have to register anyone until that date (Feb 27th, 2021)

On my registration page it is telling me the maximum team size for MLS is 12 but the actual maximum team size should be 30 I believe.
edit: It appears to be correct once registration day comes up. Not exactly sure why it only shows that 12 players can be submitted before then though.
This is just during the expansion draft phase (IE 24hrs at the start of the game) while you have your protected list.

When I start a new career in any european country around June/July 2020 and I include MLS database, there is no fixture for 2020.. Season 2021 is already starting but they start late February.
On the other hand when you include South Korea to your database they are already playing their 2020 season.
Is there any bug or did I something wrong when setting up the database and the single leagues?
Thanks in advance!
Try and keep this kind of thing in the League-specific game play issues forum :
But to answer your question, there are no 2020 fixtures for MLS. You start MLS at the earliest on Dec 14th 2020. This is by design (per MLS basically).

Hey, i've got another question, is there going to be a superdraft in the 2021 season? because i keep getting this messages saying what players the teams might select but i cant find the date in the calendar. There's only de 2022 superdraft, and i've still got the 2021 picks to trade
Yes

Hi, i found a problem in MLS. With every single team i found myself over the salary cap by the millions, even with the squad they have in real life, that it's obviously not over the cap. It needs fixing. Thanks
You have to use the GAM/transfer budget to buy it down, and remember that the game will start with a full squad, when some of those guys would only have been on the roster a month or two (IE tiny cap hit). So comparing what happened in the 2020 season doesn't translate directly to 2021. Hopefully you understand what I'm saying.
In previous versions the rosters were compliant because they came out late in the year but the game started early. FM21 starts in December 2020, so it doesn't work the same this year.

I came here to log this exact issue.
It's like the opposite of FIFA, where the sweaty is over-utilized...every FW in FM refuses to square for an easy tap in. Because of this, we see a lot of goals that are only scored because of some deliberate hole (like a DF randomly wandering off in the wrong direction to release his mark). If we had a few sweaty tap ins then there would be less need for these fixed goals. I say fixed, because they clearly would never result in a goal, and it looks very obvious.
I'm also creating 30-40 shots a game, often scoring 0-1 goal.

If there isn't a graphics folder, just create one and put the files in. Should be at the same level as the editor data, save games etc.
Go to preferences, clear cache, then reload skin and you should b e up and running.

IIRC, the balance in the newgen creation is supposed to support the long term progression through to the MLS SuperDraft. That through about 100 PDL teams in the game out the box. With 209 NCAA teams, those same players are getting stretched too thin I think.

Doesn't look like USL D2 is populating players, or taking from NCAA, so no issue there. The USL expansion sides, plus all of the NPSL Pro are draining NCAA significantly though.
Looks like the non-MLS DA sides only generate about 3 players a year, no matter how many they lose. I'm doing some other testing right now
Whether active or not, DA teams populate 10 players at start up.

If this is too hard to do I am ok with settling for say CPL u18 league to develop the youth intake instead since that is way easier to do then a draft and creating all of those leagues and teams
There used to be a Canadian University file floating around a few years ago...not sure if you can find it or what could be imported.

Where is the link to the new file? The one attached to original post is still the old version?

Really enjoying playing around with this huge update! Only problem I have is in the USSDA, the MLS farmer teams have after a couple of season full teams, while all other teams only have greys, Also I think it's a bit strange that NCAA has a reputation higher than the top divisions in Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, etc, even the second division in Mexico. Surely an amateur league would only have 1 star reputation at the very most? Just my two cents
Yeah, this seems off to me too. Jeremiah, was this something that I had set?

Expansion/NCAA Feedback - where we are including new USL expansion teams I've seen they are populating themselves by signing a load of NCAA players. I lost 4 to one team in one season, and 11 in total. Only 1 was drafted of those, the rest went to expansion sides.
I'd probably prefer a version without the expansion sides at the lower leagues, as it is clearly messing with the NCAA. Either that, or perhaps I should start 2 seasons in.

NCAA - other issue I've found are it's hard/impossible to sign new players. Every team apart from yours gets an intake on 1/1, not sure why it's not doing the same for the human managed team?
I'm trying to find a work around in the game, but nothing so far. Could be a lack of GM/DOF.
UPDATE: Adding a GM saw me get an intake (guys automatically signed). It seems LOTS of the ex USSFDA, especially ex-MLS academy guys, don't want to consider a move to a college (not just mine). Might be something to do with the reps? I could see hundreds of guys on frees who wouldn't talk to me at all (wont move because of the financial package on offer - IE amateur deal).
Another issue I've found is the staff aren't able to be offered FT/paying contracts,. I seem to recall there's a way to set it so staff members can be paid salaries and be full time etc.

NCAA - biggest issue I can see here is the mechanism you are using for getting teams into the NCAA tournament.
In prior attempts, I've put in, for example, the conference Regular season winner and Tournament winner (NCAA like a continental competition). In my test, Kentucky won the C-USA regular season, runner's up in the tournament and in their wider NCAA group and didn't get in.
My system was imperfect in that it took set amounts from conferences like ACC each year, but I always made at least 1 spot available for each conference to make sure there was at least a pathway to the big dance. Any chance you could look at this?
I should point out, I like the groups, because I think that's a good way to replicate the exhibition season etc...but maybe it probably shouldn't feed directly into the NCAA without some input from the conferences? Work in tandem or split?

So, like the Vardy one or the Right to Dream?

There are lots of corresponding logos for team, competitions, conferences etc...I've not checked to see if they can just be dropped in. Jeremiah has done great work again here. I'd love to see this file really take off and Jeremiah get the credit he deserves. Please consider contributing to his Patreon for this, he's put a LOT of work in.
I'd like to do a players pack for this at some point over the winter (including top NCAA players and top MLS academy guys, either at the academy or in NCAA). I will see if I can get to that and keep people up to date - I'm already working on the official stuff for the Feb patch.

Up at the 2nd time of asking, destroying the league (which had 2 more teams in this year). Modena pushed me point for point until about the last 4-5 games. The Serie D Poule was glitchy in that 2 of the teams I played had gone on VAC so I faced greys (winning 12-0 and 15-0 respectively, and even putting my goalie up top to get a goal, which he did).
Won Serie D GrD, Serie D Cup and the Poule thing....so a lower league treble. 103 points, 99 goals scored and +73 GD. Did it with a few loaners from Cesena, a load of guys on non-contract (as we have no cash). Only downside is I'm losing my star newgen from start up (Luca Mereu), as he joins Napoli this summer. He never wanted to discuss a deal at any point in the save, so I got to enjoy him for 2 seasons and now he's gone for nothing.

That's an identical record to my first season (you had +4 GD only minor diff). I finished third and you won by 7pts.
I'm just jealous
Good luck on the next season!

I'm giving this a go for the first time in a decade or so...
Unbeaten through 20 games, lost only 3 all year...somehow finished third despite destroying all the existing club records for points, goals, wins etc and having a 5* rated newgen in the academy to start. Feels like I got FMed.
Had one of those ropey loads where everyone went off the boil at the wrong time and got pipped not just for the title but down to third over the last couple of weeks. My 5* kid wont sign a new deal either.
Ah well, back for season 2. Massive squad overhaul as I have no cash (despite running wages $150k below budget) and half my squad now on Non-Contract deals. I suspect it wont get any easier from here!

I've done a league add-in for NASL in the US and although it verifies, when I check another league it says NASL doesn't end by year end update day. I can't see what I've done wrong. Help!!
I'm trying to reproduce something someone else did in the advanced panel so I'm especially out of my element. This is not my strong suit at all!
When I play it, first season is fine, but because it not ending properly, it doesn't populate fixtures from year 2 onwards.
I keep thinking I've found what the issue might be, but still getting that error where the NASL season doesn't finish (despite playing the final). It's obvious I'm just missing a tick/check in a box somewhere simple but I CAN'T SEE IT!!!! Ugh.

If I were to make an edit and say, add a new league with new teams. Will this new league and teams be in every game I start/play?
Or will I be able to select the default database when I start a game?
I'm also curious about this as to whether I were to download say, the claasen additions. Would I be able to choose between the default setup that comes with the game and the claasen additions?
Its an add in - you can deselect it. When you start career, the top right there's a 'Database' box - if you click that you can select which files you want to have active in that save. Only works at start of a game though, can't switch them out.
