For your information, I am a moderator and not a mind reader. I can't answer questions on the 27th before you asking them on the 28th.

In general IT terms, while a certain release will be 'locked', users can always find bugs. So, while it won't be fixed in FM24, it might be helpfull unearthing bugs in the FM25 build (because FM24 code was re-used) and that helps us all. No waste of time in that case.

I ended up my WC version with just loading in the first X needed teams, which meant in Africa that a team like Somalia would drop out on occassion which is somewhat realistic, albeit accidentally realistic.

8 minutes reading time for me I like your level of preparation. The balancing will be hardest to do since there is some bias in game towards the European side of things (datawise as well as possibly some coding). Your main challenges have sometimes being fixed by users in previous versions. Question is whether those fixes can be applied on newer FMs.

I bought the book, Ajax in crisis, but hoping for an addendum In other news I am testing several rule changes in England to see the effect. There will be some silly ones, some destructive ones and some downright evil ones (not just for England btw, that's just the testing ground). One I am interested in to see is how a max length for contracts would work together with a max amount of wage. Also, for people who don't think the wage cap doesn't work. Reason it usually doesn't work is because people do apply the wage cap, but they almost every time forget that the current contracts of players are not changed because of that, you need to change them by hand. If you change the max wage or wage cap, and you then reset wages to 0, the game will automatically apply the max wage.

What is your preliminary qualification? Knockout or groups? Groups can handle less teams without much hassle. Knockout (cup style) as well, but they seem to be more tricky to implement.

Maybe check on one of the external sites, FMScout and such if they have them?

So I was working a bit on the Frisian storyline for fun, and it got me thinking. Despite all the ideas I have, I could have never written down the chaos at Ajax at the moment. Noone would have believed it to be realistic

Moved to Advanced Rules

Maybe if you export the file as xml and edit it there?

If the secondary competition hasn't been used yet, you can use that to set the state competition. It will help you select your teams.

This exactly. Another thing to note, you taking part in the competition or not makes a difference as well. During tests I do notice that competition on holiday or view-only will have a limited amount of champions as well.

Currently running into a promotion/relegation mismatch. Yes, they happen to me as well Hopefully the FM20 file can help me on my way.

What league are you making and in what context (region, continent, etc)?

You can also check the transfer values for Faroe Islands to be sure.

Adding is an issue, but if you replace one and move the replaced nation to another continent it can work. The Russia/Belarus ban has changed a few thing so that's not ideal, but Europe did have a max already.

Look up your competition, go to the Stages, look up the group stage and then check League Settings or group settings, whichever applies.

Romania was done on Thursday already. Friday was spend on other things and today it is time to look at Poland. With 2,5 full days (Sunday Easter brunch spoils my plans) I should be able to get most of the Poland work done.

Moving leagues between competition is a dangerous trail and error fest, just so you know. I have tried it a few times and usually end up redoing things from scratch.

I don't see an option in the in game editor and considering it is a stadium build in-game, it is not one you can edit beforehand It's weird, based on the long and lat is not even in the correct state. I am afraid I have to ask you to log a bug for this. And you have to work with the little piece of land your club from Trier has claimed in Saarbrücken.

I don't know if city size has an impact, but I never tested with it in a scenario with multiple languages, so doesn't hurt to test that out.

Romania will be done end of this week. Most of the heavy lifting in terms of data is done and I am tidying up right now. Easter will give me an extra free day as well

Finishing Romania was too enthusiastic of a thought, but I have made great strides this weekend. The work and household backlog was a bit in the way as well to be honest. That's what you get with 3 weeks being bedridden.

Hi Dickie, Wolf_pd, Editors Hideaway moderator here. From an editor point of view there is not really a 24.2 version. There is only a version of 24.0 that has been updated untill 24.3 come out. That version you could consider as a 24.2. Going back to a previous database or game version is not possible in an official way I can advice on.
