  1. I will not join, but as with most large projects I am available for advise.
  2. In the style of Moana Pasifika would Crimea work as a base nation for an Oceanian Superleague. You could keep al the nation, but not have the hassle of all competitions, just one big one.
  3. With regard to the continental cups rant, that's not up to FIFA, that's purely for the continental FA. Btw, UEFA did the same in the early 90s.
  4. Nation: Borinquen Offical long name: The Commonwealth of Borinquen Language(s): Spanish Capital: San Juan National stadium: Estadio Centroamericano Borders: West Hayti. south Caribbean Sea, north Lucaya and east Atlantic Ocean Before independence the island nation of Borinquen was a Spanish colonial posession with the name Puerto Rico. When the Napoleonic wars hit Spain, Puerto Rico was one of the areas that stayed loyal. As a result Puerto Rico received small gains in autonomy and rights. However, when the king returned those gains were removed and Puerto Rico was back to the status of a colony. Puerto Rico was pulled into the Spanish-American war when the United States attacked Spanish Florida. An attack on Cuba and Puerto Rico followed. While the Spanish army would win the war, they would also conclude that the American colonies were taking too much effort to defend, while the economic situation in Florida and both islands did not give much in return. The island of Puerto Rico would be given independence in 1898 with the new name of Borinquen. While football was played when Borinquen was still Spanish, organized football did not start until 1900. The Borinquen national football would not take part in the Caribbean, Central American or American championships until 1940. Borinquen has not been a very succesfull nation. On a governmental level Borinquen has considered federating with Florida, which would have meant the national team of Borinquen would have been merged with the Floridean team. Question is whether any Boricua international would ever have a chance to take the field for Florida. Next up is Bermuda
  5. 0 is either 0 or random. -1 might be not able to gain nationality.
  6. Nation: Lucaya Offical long name: The Commonwealth of Lucaya Language(s): English Capital: Nassau National stadium: Thomas Robinson Stadium Borders: South and West: Florida, north and east: Atlantic Ocean The name Lucaya is an Anglicization of the Spanish Lucayo, itself a Hispanicization derived in turn from the Taíno Lukku-Cairi (which the inhabitants used for themselves), meaning people of the islands. Those people are no more as they were taken away by Spanish slave traders to work on other islands. Former a British colony, the nation's demographic make up is based on slavery being abolished on the islands in 1807 and it becoming a refuge for slaves from the American mainland and ships wrecking in the area. Lucaya gained independence in the 1973. Although football was played on the islands before independence the Lucayan federation was not formed until 1967. The Lucayan Amateur football championship was played before the FA was created and information about it is spotty at best. The Lucayan national team has not seen much success. Only once they were able to qualify for the Copa America in a shock result, but every attempt at a World Cup qualification ended in early failure. Next up is Borinquen, after that will come Bermuda and the final island nation will be Greenland. Then it will be time for the North American mainland.
  7. Nation: Virgin Islands Offical long name: Virgin Islands Language(s): English Capital: Road Town National stadium: A. O. Shirley Recreation Ground Borders: West Borinquen, north and east Atlantic Ocean, south Caribbean Sea The Virgin Islands are a relative unknown in the footballing world. They play their games, but since the level of the Virgin Islanders is much lower compared to the surrounding teams, those games usually end up in lopsided defeats. Only Sint Maarten, Lucaya and Bermuda will on ocassion have a hard time beating the Virgin Islands. A proposition to allow all CONAMAF nation to play at the Copa America was not approved for this reason. The history of the Virgin Islands is notable in the sense that Columbus visited and named them. Apart from that the Virgin Islands went through the hands of various nations that were active in the Caribbean in the period of exploration and colonisation. They were decolonized by the British in 1972 and set up the football association in 1973 shortly thereafter. Next up is Lucaya
  8. The value is hidden in FM14, so it's unlikely you can change it.
  9. From the article this remark is interesting as well as it would mean a possibility for new foreign player regs I always like the European competitions as being disruptive for the national one. Playing both European and national should be bring extra pressure on the team (and that's why I don't the big-team player hoarding). It seems that this will bring a bit more pressure on the Asian teams, so I like it.
  10. There could be a residence rule, but this should not happen like this as far as I know.
  11. Few possible reasons, one could be that you saved the files with the same name and then changed them manually in Windows Explorer, but best would be to see if there are doubles or redundant files and clean up a bit if possible.
  12. Is there any info on the Asia changes? Oceania plans look interesting, hopefully SI implements them soon(ish).
  13. What does your rules say for the Premier League? That Brexit has been cancelled? England has decided to stay in the EU should be the text. If it is something different Brexit still happened.
  14. Go to Agreements, add England to European Union, check if it still happens afterwards. Luxembourg is EU. England isn't.
  15. As Number Seven says, if the game doesn't do what you want when using a third party tool, there is nothing that SI can do with that. We have a general rule to not discuss 3rd aprty tools on this morning, so i will lock this thread and move it to the approrpiate (no download) section.
  16. The nation newgen specification seems to depend on a setting that we can't do.
  17. Considering you have put together 30 leagues there are a multitude of possible reasons. Is there something that happens in your game on the 31st that might warrant the game getting into a knot about something?
  18. In the meantime I have made a start with the player file which inside 5 minutes posed the first problem Borders are going to move and I prefer as little clicks/changes as possible, because the file already will be massive (considering the equivalent Iron Curtain file is now 270K in size, this might easily become double size…). But if course, many players don’t have a city of birth, so that poses a problem. Next to that, some of the extinct nations will be needed and that doesn’t work very well right now especially since it’s only the Americas I have mapped out to satisfaction. So for the start players will only be moved to their ‘logical’ nationality where name is the deciding factor. If a player has a photo and the name doesn’t match the photo, the photo is leading. Starting in Europe and South America as I at least know a few of the languages and it is easier to check each nation. I am not a fan of Italy though with 10% of ALL people in the database!
  19. You can restart or decide to manually re-edit them again. Editing them every season would then probably be the only solution.
  20. Maybe check the German cup for this, as Germany has a similar setup, B-teams are not allowed, so they need to pick other teams.
