I'm not SI staff which is probably who you're looking for an answer from, but I think you'll find whether your B team gets promoted to a higher tier is based on random chance at best - at worst, it may be an oversight and not possible.

Editor, how i use it. Do you?
ElliottMS replied to ps77's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
I've used it to create a different environment or save. For instance, I created a club in the MLS which has a rule to only use Caribbean players. To start that off, I used the editor to release existing players from the club the team replaced, and used the editor to move MLS based Caribbeans to my club. From then on, I used the editor to edit the youth prospects into Caribbeans. So just for a bit of fun, ultimately. -
fm24 mobile choice of countries
ElliottMS replied to Martyking's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
Its a matter of licensing. I understand the legalities of licensing in Brazil is a mess as SI would need to negotiate individually which each club. Wouldn't be great having a league of unlicensed teams. It would be great to have Brazil though. Their system of regional competitions in the off season is pretty unique and interesting. -
New leagues and features FMM24?
ElliottMS replied to Cothucotchy's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
Maybe like a fortnightly challenge with leaderboards? At our discord servers we have quite a large list of challenges now for people to try, -
Well, in a mobile context its you can see one but not the other. But I see Flair as how much they 'show off' and creativity as to how unpredictable their play is.

Cup matches, Lower League clubs
ElliottMS replied to KAS2's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
I think its a case that its an enjoyable match for the fans that brings in some extra revenue. How that works exactly depends on the cup but some arrangements are more generous to away teams than league matches. Ultimately its part of the concept that any team could win it. Obviously, Red Lion pub FC aren't going to beat professionals but its part of the excitement. -
I appreciate now having an explanation. Aside from criticising the whole decision, SI and Miles have made some big communication mistakes with this. 1. Not recognising that this change would be met negatively by the most ardent fan base. 2. Thinking that presenting it as some sort of airy fairy positive was a good strategy by itself - we aren't stupid, you know. 3. Miles tweeting that he thinks we're all odd for not wanting to get Netflix. Condescending, crass and arrogant. The polls on Vibe and our discord server, whilst small sample sizes, show the extent to which current players are simply not going to sub to Netflix to play the game. Those that play the game the most don't play it for a few weeks and then get bored, as is the way for most mobile games, we play it year round. I have an active save right now, and when that's finished I've plenty more I want to do. I'd definitely pay more than £10 for the game, but a minimum of £60? No way, its not good pricing compared to other games on the market or indeed even in SI's own portfolio. I guess if this was Netflix or no game, for a lot of people its just no game either way, and that's terribly sad.

Assuming SI do press ahead with this I would assume the way around this is to ensure that by FMM25, the game has the backwards save compatibility which is being introduced for FM24. At that point then the game may as well just drop the year and become a game constantly under development with regular squad updates.

The future of FMM
ElliottMS replied to passenger58's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
Well that isn't the answer I wanted!!! But of course I can understand the reasoning. -
The future of FMM
ElliottMS replied to passenger58's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
Love that aim, as ultimately being able to potentially manage in any league in game on save would be the ultimate journeyman game. Meanwhile, it would be great if the game can assess a device's capability to run a custom size database with custom number of leagues like the full pc game does. -
Add African Leagues
ElliottMS replied to Nnamdi Akisah's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
I'm not even sure if these are in the full fat game never mind the mobile game - at least based on full fm 22 which I have, you can only manage in South Africa. I would absolute welcome more African and Arabian leagues, this area is very underrepresented in football manager. Scouting is probably a major issue blocking this. -
Board confidence dropped after progressing to next round
ElliottMS commented on ElliottMS's issue in Gameplay Issues
Have you tried compressing the file with something like winzip, winrar etc? -
Yeah I think so. Going by that criteria, all three teams on 2 pts drew with each other, so a) is out. They all have the same goal difference in head-to-head matches, so b) is out despite Sweden getting the worst defeat by Croatia, so then c), Sweden score 2 goals and Greece and Scotland each only scored 1. So Sweden go through.

Buying injured players.
ElliottMS replied to Arsy's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
I'm sure I've sometimes seen the option to ask the board to reconsider these things; I don't know whether that only appears at a certain reputation or board confidence maybe, not sure. -
Problem with minutes U-21
ElliottMS replied to XPiler97's topic in FM Console and FM Touch General Discussion
Just to point out you've posted this in the wrong forum, this is for the mobile version of the game which (sadly) doesn't have the Chilean League included. -
New coaches not getting star rating
ElliottMS replied to passenger58's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
I'm sure I read somewhere that the star rating is meaningless anyway. -
Can no longer post updates to Twitter on FM23Mobile
ElliottMS commented on WoodyCAFC's issue in Gameplay Issues
I'm sure I read elsewhere that Twitter changed some requirements which meant it the game can no longer connect with it. -
Long term saves
ElliottMS replied to Weller1980's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
Ah but I mean a really small team, like one that gets promoted to the bottom tier of a country with a lot of leagues like England. You're just good at the game though tbh. -
Long term saves
ElliottMS replied to Weller1980's topic in Football Manager Mobile General Discussion
Tbh, if you start with a good team it will always go like this. The real fun for me is making a small team big then dominant. -
Club History graph bug in Northern Ireland
ElliottMS commented on ElliottMS's issue in Gameplay Issues
Sorry for the delay, I've attached a save file called ElliottMS NI Graph bug.fms This save has moved on a bit but same issue remains. Recommend you look at Crewe United, who have come from non-league to top tier in Northern Ireland as an example.
