Hi Andre! Great question. The opening and closing playoffs weren't a part of my US set-up (as I planned it), but they are a core part of both Mexico and Costa Rica's structure (along with a few others.) So, for those countries, they won't have the structures they would be used to. Thhanks for asking!

Thanks for the answer! Is there any way you could send me a DM so we could chat? You answered one of my posts on the Editors Hideaway but I couldn't find a way to reach out to you!

Known Bugs (That are outside my control at the moment.)

  • Continental Comps have some limits, including having to register U21 players for them to be a part of the squads. I can’t edit them in advanced mode because the editor doesn’t recognize the created US level 1 division. 
  • I can’t have two cups within a division in the same year, so the opening/closing playoffs in a lot of the leagues with opening/closing stage structure don’t exist yet. If it gets fixed it will be an easy enough addition, and I’ll make those adjustments.  
  • Some cups don’t show up in the search bar - mostly the continental ones. You will need to search for the North American Champions Cup and navigate from there. 
  • Because I can’t edit the continental cup rules in advanced mode, I can’t set up the club world championship qualification, and that tournament is broken. If it gets fixed I’ll release an updated version so you can compete in that competition.

Hey, nice work with your file! I didn't quite get what you meant with this part above. I opened the save at it seems the playoffs show up in the rules section and all. You mean they're just there but don't play out at all? So why do they show up at all?

 

Another question I had is why the design choice of an opening and closing stage, when you could simply do a normal league setup and avoid all that trouble.

Thanks!
