New Zealand Football Pyramid

2,271 1 186

Hi all,

I have ported my fairly comprehensive FM19 NZ league pyramid to FM 20.

Here's the initial version. This version is fully playable. However, I intend to add a more refined version in the coming days (most likely this weekend):

This includes:

The New Zealand National league
The Regional Premier Leagues
Central Premier League
Mainland Premier League
Football South Premier League
NRFL Premier Division
Regional First Divisions
Central Federation Premier League

Regional Second Divisions

Nelson Division Two
Presidents Cup
Capital First Division
Regional Third Divisions
AFF/NFF Conference
Northland Premier Division
WAIBOP Premier Division
Nelson Division Three
Patrons Cup
Capital Second Division
Regional Fourth Divisions
AFF Championship
NFF Division One
Northland Division Two
WAIBOP Championship
Capital Third Division
Regional Fifth Divisions
AFF Division One
NFF Division Two
Northland Division Two
Bay of Plenty Division One
Waikato Division One
Capital Fourth Division
Regional Sixth Divisions

Regional Seventh Divisions

Regional Eighth Divisions
AFF Division Four
Regional Ninth Divisions
AFF Division Five
Chatham Cup (the NZ FA Cup)
Several regional cup competitions
I probably won't have time to update the promotion or relegation of the minor regional leagues, but I do intend to update the main divisions, and to add some more competitions (Canterbury and Otago are top of my list).

v594 has now been released. The main aim of this update is to try and make a more noticeable difference between the top teams in the country and the lower regional divisions.

In particular

Competition and team reputations have been moved upwards for the top three tiers, to allow for a bigger difference in reputation between the best teams in the country and the rest of the lower reputation regional teams. Note: A-League team reputations were also increased slightly, so that there is still a reasonable reputation gap between Wellington Phoenix (the highest reputation team in NZ) and Auckland City (the next highest reputation team).
Higher reputation regional teams can now sign part time and non contract players.
Fixed an issue where all teams in the pyramid could sign players on paid youth contracts.
All teams now have a positive bank balance at the start of the season, rather than starting the game with $0 in the bank and having to wait a season for additional income streams, such as player subscriptions, to come in.
