I loaded up the new database and didn't get to sim a season yet
I noticed some problems
23/24 season is skipped at start of save and all players have stats simmed for 24/25 season
RGV Toros (in wrong league) and San Diego Loyal both have 0 players (a lot other clubs have this issue too, mostly in the lower divisions. other databases maybe have the rosters you can borrow from) USL League 2 is skipped
I picked FC Tucson to start save and noticed I had $37m USD transfer budget and $68m USD wage budget, as well as I was missing over ⅔ of the teams roster
I haven't checked anything else yet 😛 will wait for another update, appreciate your work. I have no idea how to help but I'd love to learn. This is still closest thing to the best US database, Zealands from FM22

hey, appreciate the help, thanks!
here’s some clarification on the issues you encountered:
“23/24 season is skipped at start of save and all players have stats simmed for 24/25 season.”
“RGV Toros (in wrong league) and San Diego Loyal both have 0 players (a lot of other clubs have this issue too, mostly in the lower divisions. other databases maybe have the rosters you can borrow from) USL League 2 is skipped.”
“I picked FC Tucson to start the save and noticed I had $37m USD transfer budget and $68m USD wage budget, as well as I was missing over ⅔ of the team's roster.”
Thanks for trying it out! you’re always welcome to reach out about any problems or bugs. Remember, the main purpose of this database is to improve American soccer’s standing worldwide, so i focused more on boosting stats, finances, and teams from the top 3 divisions instead of paying attention to strict realism. of course, a touch of realism is important, but the goal is to help the MLS compete with European leagues in a few years - its a fantasy league after all 🙂

I see your reasoning, personally I really don't mind. I actually prefer to start in FM24 season start since the database is still on the default FM24 database as far as age, potential, ability, who is available, etc. Plus I get one more year with the players I like old and young. If I was concerned about it I would use a database update to current season if one was compatible - probably super likely with the delay of FM25
Okay, that kinda stinks cause the whole point of playing an expanded US database like this one is so I can play with the rosters and rebuild those lower league US teams that I watch all the time lol. I think that is probably why most people play these databases, play with their local lower league team or try see what US lower leagues are like in promotion/relegation
Tucson is 3rd or 4th in the database if I am not mistaken (I attached screenshots) - they actually belong to the missing USL2 league which is technically the 4th tier of us soccer. Yeah they got the money but they shouldn't have too - It's odd when a 3rd division team is offering 30m for Prem League starters. I am not playing for strict realism, I want fun and I do want the US to have better attraction and buying power but this is like every league has premier league budgets. Isn't there a way to change the leagues income?
Yes it is a fantasy league and thats fine! This is just feedback to help make it more fun.. there's a severe lack of good US databases on FM24 for some reason
