Hi guys, is this going to include NCAA?

No, it's a lot of work (my local school is D2 so I definitely wouldn't stop at D1), and that kind of amateur set-up doesn't really translate to FM to be honest (lots of unrealistic player movement). Meanwhile USL2 does the same thing (i.e., produce players for the draft) and is already there, just had to be set up and fleshed out. There's a lot of history there

Hi guys its possible to add the new team San Diego for this update for FM24???

I updated it so they're in USL now, the latest update gave them a full roster. There's an issue with contracts in USLC though (and only USLC), for some reason it thinks every team is broke and won't let you offer contracts. Working on a fix

So you recommend waiting for the USLC fix before starting a campaign with this db? Is there anything I can do to help out? I've got a hankering to play FM and I've always wanted to do a US journeyman.

What does the Canadian Championship fix do?

Also.. maybe offtopic, but is there a (almost) complete and realistic Canadian League mod for 24.3 or 24.4?

Sorry to bother you with that last question

Hello lovely work Mr. Citizen! Pretty selfish ask but is there plans to update St Charles FC / add SLSG FC in USL2?

 

Cheers

Fixed now @Grim759 sorry for the wait, new version will be up within the hour.

 

@Charles van Nes The CanChamp file cleans up a few dates etc in that competition, but it's not compatible with yellowsweatygorilla's Canadian megapack (he fixes that stuff himself).

 

@Bubbers probably not but I can think about it. Gonna add Carolina to MLS Next Pro as they gave them a roster in the last update

Hey The Modelcitizen. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the DB or with Football Manager as a whole. I was playing as Union Omaha and my board offered some extra cash. I opted to ask them to setup a youth squad and they made a Union Omaha II. The issue is that I'm unable to hire anyone to work for the club despite owning the responsibilities for said youth team and I can't place adverts for the jobs either. When offering them a job for the secondary the selection where you choose part time or full time is just a dash line and nothing else. Other than that, I really appreciate you working this database and making a quality product to share. You should add a “Buy me a coffee” link or something mate.

That's weird. Maybe you can only hire guys if the II team plays in a league?? And obviously the US has its own crazy system and there's no “reserve” league for them to slot into (it would be cool if they could go into, like, USL2, but I can't imagine that's possible). So it sounds like it's just the game doing its normal thing that works everywhere else, but running into a brick wall because of the weird US system. I could try going in and checking the boxes for each team under “reserves” for “never create team” or whatever it is, but I'd worry that might have knock on effects elsewhere

You might be right. I didn't think about that. I don't believe they did participate in any leagues so that theory could make sense. I did find some USL Youth Rules linked here if that ends up being something you're interested in. I also found a separate academy version here. I hope you continue working on this database once FM25 comes out. It is by far my favorite database and I appreciate your work.

Thanks so much for the comment! I just cleaned up the Open Cup rules so that starting in 2024, the new format takes hold with certain MLS teams missing out and others sending their MLS NEXT Pro teams instead. 

 

Thanks for the links, I may have seen those when making some of the youth tournaments. I haven't fleshed out too much of the USL Academy/youth stuff because of the fact they don't tend to have newgens anyway so it would mostly be greyed out players? And they have weird rules that are hard to replicate so they almost work better as being imagined in the background (same as MLS NEXT regular season games)

 

Will think about FM25 when it comes out. Cheers

Do you think when FM 25 comes you'd be interested in adding the sponsorship finances in? I've been manually adding it for each of the USL1 teams as Lexington us the only USL1 team with any actual sponsorship income ($750k compared to everyone else's 0). I've personally gone in and just given everyone two year renewing details that breakout to this:

 

Individual TV Deal: $50k
Other Income: $50k

Shirt Sleeve: $75k

Back of Jersey: $100k

Uniform Sponsor: $250k

 

I don't know how this will workout in the long haul but I noticed in my first run through that I had zero income as one team and it sucked. Will see how this edit plays out.

 

Edit: I'll post some results for you after a couple years of clubs before and after with these income adjustments.
