Introduction

Welcome to my Ultimate USA database! Please be aware that this database is NOT meant to be fully realistic. Instead, my goal is to create an immersive mix of fantasy and reality that you all will enjoy. Got any questions or comments? Feel free to leave them down below.

Backstory

A new chapter has begun for the soccer world in North America, bringing significant changes. Various leagues and associations, including the MLS, USL, and NCAA, have officially joined forces in a partnership. With a goal of boosting the sport's popularity, the United States soccer pyramid has been restructured.

The new 7-tier pyramid now consists of a system that includes promotion and relegation, never done before in any American sports league. This system encompasses both pro and semi-pro leagues, allowing smaller clubs to rise up to the top.

However, not all clubs are embracing this new structure. In a potentially controversial move, the three Canadian MLS clubs have opted to join the CPL. Furthermore, FC Edmonton will be reinstated into the CPL, bringing the total number of clubs to 12. This four team expansion allows for increased competition and a new influx of fans to fill the seats on gameday.

These changes bring a renewed sense of excitement for teams, players, and fans. The restructuring of the United States soccer pyramid is a groundbreaking move that paves the way for a more competitive and dynamic landscape. With the inclusion of the NCAA, a pathway for players aspiring to reach the professional level has become more defined. As this new chapter rolls into implementation, the future seems promising.

Leagues (Teams list here)

Teams are sorted by metro population in this structure, which means some clubs have moved up or down from their real-life divisions. For cities that contain multiple teams, the most reputable team(s) will take priority in the structure. Then, the rest of the metro area teams will be allocated to the lower leagues accordingly.

Finances and Reputations

In each league, you will notice a realistic range of finances. Additionally, club reputations will be based primarily on market size rather than team success or what is default in-game. The clubs in the largest markets will have the highest reputations and start with the most money to spend, which both gradually decrease with each team.

Cups and Derbies

US Open Cup - Based on the real life US Open Cup, this tournament features clubs from tiers 1-6.

Regional Cups - Tiers 5 and 6 compete to crown 4 regional champions (Central, East, South, West).
