The lower down you go, the more B and C teams you run into so I'd not say it's pointless for teams near the top of the Junior leagues since their reserves are getting competitive games. 90% of Irish football is amateur since once you get past tier 5 semi pro clubs are rare

Could you link me to where "the Evidence based football manager guy has shown substitute appearances don't help development." I'm curious to see how they come to that conclusion.

P.S. I love the feedback - Don't feel like you're annoying me or anything. I've been working on this database fom ~3 years so i tweak it all the time. the feedback is useful for what to tweak for FM24

Since you're playing as Laois, you're in the Leinster Senior championship which is round Robbin + 1 knock out round minimum. So that, 11 fixtures (Provincial Championship) + 14 (Allianz League) + 7 (All Ireland Group Stage) = 32 competitive fixtures. So I'm confused how you're only getting 26. I've

Still working on this - about halfway through creating the Leinster Leagues. I'm at just over 11900 DB changes so It's a long process :P

1. I took them out for this year's version to test how it impacts players growth or if it just ends up in hoarding reserve players who never actually get moved on - thus blocking the pathway from the Youth teams to the first teams. I do have plans to eventually incorporate the club system (the GAA is split into a Club and County system) so utilizing the club game through loans will be how you develop reserve players in my mind 2. I've not played around with it but it's not a bad idea. I personally see the Provincial Championship as a mid season trounmanet to prepare for the All-Ireland Series so the Provincial Championships are for experimentation and/or reputation building through winning it. I can't give all 4 winners a European spot since where Ireland starts in the UEFA coefficients means that we literally don't have enough qualification spots. 2. the dead periods are a side effect of wanting clear "periods" where the season takes place. August - November is the League Season. December to February is the Provincial Championship Season and March - April is the All-Ireland Series Season. Given that every club is professional, the dead weeks are a perfect time to prioritize development based training schedules since you don't need to add Match preparation routines. It's trying to balance competitive leagues with player development. 3. League Reputation is something I've tested a lot and If i have it higher, the reputation collapses during the first 5 years since the UEFA coefficients of the clubs, and their performances, do not result in maintain it's European position in rankings. So starting in the 95-105 region is a stable starting point that allows the league to grow. The reason the attendances are so high is because there are a lot of rival games and that opts for the higher end of the distribution (you set minimum, average and higher attendees in the editor) This sounds like a bug. Not sure if it's worth posting it on the forms as one since it's a custom database so they most likely won't support fixing it. I'll keep my eyes open in case it's an error on my end. a) like I've said above, I don't really want to compress the schedule. A personal gripe I have with domestic football is that I think we play too many games. So the schedule I've devised is one I think blends development with playing matches b) I'm note really sure what you mean by this - I've no put any foreign player restrictions in the transfer system.The Home grown rule (4 produced by Club + 8 produced by nation) is since every club needs to be produce domestic players to satisfy European player registration rules. This promotes transfers between clubs int he league rather than investing too heavily in the foreign market. Balances growing the nation + allowing for a competitive transfer market int he future. I've given a loan maximum of 5 which I don't think is restrictive. C) already discussed this above d) player value is derived from contract value - the finances of the league need to grow to be able to offer contracts that increase players value. and like I've already said, increasing ti's start rep only results in the league rep crashing for 5 years. The club reputations help balance this and generate somewhat decent transfer values since they are able to comfortably offer contracts for players who want to play at that competitions level. A key thing here is that this is a league you have to grow, but (at least I think) I've given you all the tools you need to grow it.

Just playing around with the editor - I found a way to get around it. fail to remove the £650,000,000 entry in Manchester City's Other finances Tab Open the "other fiances" tab of any other club - click "clear" Click Edit -> Copy (other income) Open Manchester City and navigate to other fiances and click Edit -> Paste (other income) click clear I've attached the editor data file in case this is relevant.

nope. just started the database again.

Sorry about the delay - still working on it. I got a bloody nasty flu that had me out of action since the start of December

Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't

Ambitious project. Once i get the donky work done, i can move on to adding stadiums and kit colours

Still working on it. I work full time so i dont have loads of time to give. You'll be able to see the progress as ill be updating the fourm post with what ive added.

Anyone seen this before?

I laughed more at this than I shoudl have :P

Cheers. Been doing a lot of mapping and getting the structure coherent in my head. I've a good start made on it so hopefully it won't take forever to complete.

The editor series was building a database I never ended up using. I'll be releasing a fix for this one since I found an issue with the Provincial championship player registration.

With as many as i can find. The junior leagues all run a bunch of cups so ill be trying to put them all in

Note: Going to Try Revive this Project but release it level by level. I began work on this project back in November and had to abandon it since my Hard Drive Failed. I've decided to try revive it and get back to where I was and this time release it level by level rather than as just one release. I've a lot of work to do so as a full project, i'm aiming for a FM24 release but hopefully I'll have at least down to Lv6 soon enough since i just need to do Division Rules for that. Some Questions: Will this have Pro/Rel? -- YES. I am however going to go slightly off book and invent a more coherent league of Ireland structure since the current structure is designed to not be interlinked and that really affects the distribution of teams, and how reserve football works.

I know the competiton you're talking about - the King of the Island competition they had a website designed for. I love the idea of it but it'd be a nightmare to set up in FM. FM really doesn't like cross national competitions It's been something I've wanted to do since the Traditional end of the GAA All-Ireland season is to name an All-Star Team - translates perfect here into an All-Star game.
