So any advise on how to pull this off?

You can go to transfer preferences of nations and adjust accordingly.

Of course I'm confused, that's why I made the post You jumped through a lot here to get there. How do I set to Continental Rules without having to recreate the entire competition structure? I can also just add the Rules to the Competitions using the file I have if it's just a manual work rather than edit some entries. If you have screenshots of what the "1" Continental Rules are, I could recreate them manually I suppose. I just don't want to play around with it and perhaps miss important aspects and make the competitions unplayable.

@Wolf_pd appreciate the effort. Thing is, in order to edit the European competitions I have to do a workaround where I set them as part of a country and then edit said country. This is all I see All the competitions have these rules, but I cannot seem to locate them. If I unclick that, I'll have to redo the entire set of rules by myself and I'm going in blind as I don't really know what's involved. I'm supposed to find this in an xml file, but I don't know where that's located as it's for Europe and not a specific nation.

How do I do that?

Not sure if this could be a work around, but you could set players from the EU as non-foreign for the British nations. Go to England for example. Relationships. Treat as non-foreign. Add a new entry and go to Agreement and pick the European Union. It already exists at 'treat as EU', which I assume has to do with the new post-Brexit work permit rules, but I'm not very familiar with the new points system. So you can test here whether you have to remove the 'treat as EU' entry or not, on top of adding it as 'treat as non-foreign'.

You have to change the continent of the nation. Change the continent of the competition. Make sure the nation is a full member of the confederation. Give the nation some coefficient points as well, don't leave it at zero. In Europe iirc you cannot add new nations, so you'd have to replace an existing one. I'm not familiar with that db, but if it's split between several it'll be tricky to pull this off. It's best you ask the DB creator for this parameter.

The Same Nation rule may get tricky. Depends what you really want. If you want Germans in Germany and Spaniards in Spain, then the foreigner limitation is the best course of action. You can also adjust it so that it won't start immediately, gives you time to build the roster for the next 1-2 seasons where you can implement this fully. All you have to do is add the rule several times and include an End Year (iirc if start year is 2000 and end year is 2000, then it will take place for season 2000-01, then you'd need a new rule with start year 2001. If you put end year 2001 in the initial rule, then it'd run for 2 seasons).

Hi, been trying to find this answer for a while now but cannot seem to. I want to edit the UEFA competitions quota limits. The current setup as everyone knows is that you have a 25 squad limit, where 17 spots are free, 4 must go to homegrown (Association Trained) players and 4 must go to club grown (Club Trained) players. This appears to be part of the Continent rules and not in the competition rules which I've managed to isolate. Can someone advise how to enter those rules? What I want to change is the number of spots, either gradually (slight increase at end of season 1, slight increase at end of season 2 etc) or a one-off change that sets it to 8 association trained and 6 club trained players out of 25, leaving only 11 free spots.

You can but it's a complicated process to get everything to work. Which nations do you want to remove? The easiest way is to simply edit nations. So you want to create a new nation but remove another. You could simply edit one nation out. So if you want to create a United Kingdom nation, you basically change England that carries most of the data and edit everything from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland into the original England nation. You would need new rules for England/United Kingdom and of course set up the leagues, teams etc first. This frees up three nations which you can adjust accordingly. So you can create Narnia, Mordor and Neverland if you wish on top of those three nations. But you would always require to add Nation Rules. If you want to remove nations and have less or more than the current structure, you'd have to change a lot more rules as the Champions League won't work and international competitions will be broken.

Advanced Editor: I'm having a difficulty in setting up Squad Registration rules for European competitions. I have separated a file that has the main Euro competitions, but Fixture Rules is "1" and I cannot access those via Editor or the Comp editor folder. What I want to achieve is increase the home grown and club grown players in the 25 player list from 4 + 4 to 6 + 6 and hopefully if there's a way to adjust this per season like I can at league competitions, to increase it to 6 + 10 by 2026/7. If not possible, I can settle for 6 + 8 or something in a one off after 2024/25.

The UI and UX is much worse and the editor has more bugs. That I can say with certainty. The game is pretty much the same, some new minor additions, but it's still the same concept where you cannot really do much tactically outside of the options provided. And the database I guess is different obviously. Lots of great players now were predicted to be scrubs then and vice versa

General comment, but what's the point of this thread when 9/10 questions are never answered?

I barely played FM21 (season timing, covid stuff etc put me off) and with FM22 I still haven't exceeded 1,000 hours. Whilst this is a massive milestone for any annual game, I am at 850~ hours and since I do other things whilst FM is on or leave the game on (and the pc of course) while I'm at work, this could very well be less than 300 hours. Fm20 I had a little less than 2k hours. I used to average over 2.5k hours with fm 16 being the game I almost logged 4k hours with. Reason I didn't go for it was it felt too similar with FM22 which I consider a broken game that was never fixed and was worrying that the likeness would also affect the game since they weren't addressed. The editor for example is still completely broken and I'm not a fan of the UI as I kept spotting bugs from the beta that were never fixed. My interest is trending downwards and it has nothing to do with saturation from playing since the late 90s since I'm more than happy to replay older versions. Game needs a revamp but sales suggest otherwise so SI is in an awkward position.

Now that the game is out, how many of those who said weren't going to buy caved and bought it? What did the undecided people do? And what about the 'features brigade'? Do people who said Yes recommend to FM22 players to go ahead and change versions? This is the first time I genuinely have no regrets for not buying and glad I installed FM16 rather than hitting that purchase button last week, but I'm interested in hearing the opinions of those who wanted to buy the game and would still recommend it as the Feedback thread is filled with negativity, whilst the Steam page is filled with ultra positivity, so I need a more neutral space to decide if I'm going after the game after all before Christmas.

@LeoFM nice work. Can you give show us the winners of the main competitions? World Cup, Euro, continental cups and big five leagues?

Yeah it's absurd to consider it inadequate. Probably one of the most capable airports out there.

Should I be hyped about this? I almost don't even care. And I just realized today that I have booked a flight on the day of the final and not even sure if I'll arrive on time to catch it.
