African leagues missing when trying to add a season.

I'm trying to add a season to my career, and I get the following problem.



My basic issue is that I cannot add my season to my career as there are no options for the leagues, and if I try to add it without a league, it tells me I can't.

There are leagues available for the majority of nations, even the obscure Oceanian ones that I have managed in previously, but there do not seem to be any options for many of the African countries (looked at Mayotte, Djibouti,Mauritius and Mauritania to see if just one or two were missing).

Is there any way that this could be rectified, and if not, any way that I could still add my season without the league being present?

Are you able to give the unique id of a league so I can look into it?

Are you able to find the league through the search? https://sortitoutsi.net/search/database

The leagues aren't there (or I can't find them), through that search.

I am using Claassen's updates so maybe he's put them in himself - I can't find them on editor.

Odd that they aren't there though, since the database contains teams from those nations, just not the actual competitions?

Do you know of any way around this (i.e. a bypass for not putting in a league?), or am I just going to have to not add seasons to this career?

Thanks for your time

There are hardly any built in African competitions outside of continental comps

And yes, Claassen created them for his files.

Is this not something that someone at sortitoutsi could quickly rectify?

It surely wouldn't take long to update their database with "Mayotte First Division", "Mauritania First Division", "__________ First Division", for the missing countries so that seasons could be added? It wouldn't require any research as people wouldn't be too bothered by precise names, just a physical league there, so there is a way of inputting careers? Alternatively, couldn't Claassen's update just be merged with the sortitoutsi database?

There may be another way round it I haven't thought of.

Appreciate the feedback

I'm sure it could be fixed on SI's end, but we're in 2018/19 and there's still only the South African league and very rarely any enhancement to the database for Africa, so it's probably not happening. They've given their reasons in the past and I imagine they haven't changed their minds.

Sort It Out could merge Claassen's database with theirs, I guess, but keep in mind he has to redo it every year and he also modifies club data, etc in a lot of nations he makes leagues for so it would clash with official data. Also, as of right now he's not doing it for FM19.

"It wouldn't require any research as people wouldn't be too bothered by precise names, just a physical league there, so there is a way of inputting careers?"

I think you underestimate how many people would be bothered by that, but more so, why would SI do that just so people can add a line item to their "career" on another website?

I think this would be on Sort It Out's side if they wanted to let you enter a club without first selecting a league.

@Crpls, I think you may have misunderstood my point. I'm asking if either:

a) someone at sortitoutsi could either merge the database with claassens once a year, so that people could input data onto their website, ignoring any changes to data that already exists on the official database and only accepting the new data. Or if someone from sortitoutsi could quickly add the leagues with imprecise names, as no-one on the sortitoutsi forum would be bothered if it is purely for the sake of inputting their careers.

or

b) if someone at sortitoutsi could give me advice on how I could add the seasons of my career without needing to input a league, as it is currently not possible to do so. Or even enable seasons to be added without the need for league input in certain countries.

Absolutely nowhere have I asked for Sports Interactive to do anything, and I am fully aware that they will not add the leagues to the database, and certainly not with the wrong names as this would be ludicrous.

I completely agree that it is something that Sortitoutsi could potentially look at doing, but equally it may be too difficult, hence why I have asked a question. If I wanted SI to do anything about it I would be on their website instead of Sortitoutsi's, and I'm not naive enough to think that it would make a difference anyway.

Thank you for literally saying exactly what I have said already, I think you may need to read posts a little more clearly before commenting in the future, just some friendly advice.

Sorry, I did misread the first sentence as I just saw "SI" in that part, not sortitoutsi.
