Scottish Pyramid Accurate

Brilliant as always James. Are the Development Leagues for youth teams also in there?

Thanks

Yep they are. All the development teams are in the correct leagues

Are the real SPFL fixtures still in use? I know that, on previous Scottish pyramid databases, it hasn't been possible to keep the real fixtures.

Yeah they should all be fine

Update coming tomorrow 

will you be doing a welfare leagues database this year

Is there anyway to make the B Teams playable? Thanks for all the hard work on this!

I'm working on that at the moment. Takes a bit of time with adding all the teams and comps though. Should be available in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

Not that I'm aware of. I'll look into it thought 

Thanks very much and don't go out your way, only if you have time. I'll check other forums and stuff as well.

Great job, thank you!

James, with Harmony Row becoming Giffnock Soccer Centre (Giffnock SC) next season, is it just a case of loading your fmf in the editor, and updating the club details, colours etc. and saving if I want to have them appear as GSC in game straight away?

The Under 20s will change from Harmony Row to Giffnock SC too next season.

Shame to see Harmony Row go at that level, always had a great reputation in Glasgow. That said, GSC are the biggest youth football club in the country, and their new place is some setup. 

Thanks

Aye thats a shame to hear. Yeah just change the details, validate and should be good to go. I'll maybe update the database if i can to reflect that.

Got that sorted James, thanks. 

For the B teams, is there an easy way to make the fact they play in the Lowland League extend beyond the one season so it remains in place for the duration of a save?

Cheers

does this work with the 23.4 update?

Yeah, if you go into the pre game editor, advanced rules, lowland league, stages and teams you'll find the b teams there. Remove the setting for end year date and re validate. That should do it. I'm going to do that anyway as I just saw they've been kept for at least next season

Yeah, I'm running it just now with the update

Hey folks, am I being dumb? Probably. I can't seem to use the file with 23.04, and when I try to run it on an older database I can't get lower than tier 5 😢

Hi James, 

Another name change in case you release an update with promotion/relegation at season end and before FM24. Rossvale from Division 1 are now going to be known as Caledonian Locomotives FC from season 23/24 onwards. The other Rossvale in Division 4 are not changing as far as I can tell as they are a breakaway from the original Division 1 side. 

Can find evidence on the Inverness Caley Thistle statement, as ICT had objected to the originally proposed name change which has been shelved and replaced with Caledonian Locomotives FC.

Thanks

Hi James, 

With the news that FM23 saves can be played on FM24, do you have any plans to release a league file that reflects the 23/24 leagues? I know it is a massive amount of work. Just wanted to check before I start a save to see me through to FM25.

As well as the name change above (Rossvale WoS Division 2 now Caledonian Locomotives FC), Giffnock Soccer Centre are now in instead of Harmony Row and in the East, Syngenta have folded with Linton Spurs joining the EoS league setup. 

Dalbeattie Star has moved back to the SoS league and Caledonian Braves reserves resigned/folded from that league. 

Montrose Roselea has moved from the North Region league to the Midland League.

Rangers B are not entering the Lowland League but I think Celtic B and Hearts B look invested for the long term. 

The rest is just promotions and relegations other than the WoS restructuring.

Totally understand if you don't have the time as it is a massive job. If you do, and need help with researching promotions/relegations and double checking who is in which league, I would happily help. 

Thanks for all the work on this either way. 

Cheers

Joe

Hi James, 

I meant to add, if I were to take your file as a base, would it mess the leagues up if I applied promotions and relegations and added Knightswood to the WoS Division 4?

Thanks

Joe

I have a file with the promotions and relegations already made. Just got to test and review a couple of things and i'll get it uploaded

This database is fantastic! I took Linlithgow Rose from the sixth division to win the Champions League and SPL. Thank you for making it, it's been a delight on FM23. The only issue I found was the inability to improve the Youth Recruitment at all so it stayed at the level of tier six team despite being the biggest club in the Country. Not sure if it's fixable but I enjoyed the save all the same.

Thanks

Hi there, will you be doing a scottish pryamid for the fm 2024?  i have tried adding the 2023 one into the new game but it doesnt work.

That would be great!

Hi, yeah working on it now. Should be ready in the next couple of days hopefully 

cant wait cheers 

Hey! how's progress on the FM24 version? I'm very excited for the release

Just commenting here so I can find this again.

Thanks for your work.

How is it coming along mate? Heard the editor is a nightmare this year. Thanks for what you are doing, looking forward to another WoS long term save.
