Mate - Just a heads up…but there appears to be two Dallas Texans teams in USL2. One has team ID 72023782 and the other has 2000237947. On the team selection page both names are the same and both of their logos look the same. On the actual team screen the name for 72023782 is Dallas Texans and the name for 2000237947 is Dallas Texans - BAL.  Also, I recall you were asking about teams with youth restrictions…in the US Clubs there is called St. Louis (PDL) U20.

Hey Chris…did you have to go with the opening and closing leagues (similar to Liga MX) in order to get the big break in the middle for the various cups? I liked that in the overall schedule and was wondering if the only way to get that to work was to do the opening/closing league.

HI everyone - quick 24.3 related update. It appears that there is a bug that has wiped out homegrown at nation and club data in custom databases. I remade the US, Mexican, and Canadian dbs and removed the homegrown eligibilities. You can find them below:

 

Chris - Just a thought….you could limit “foreign” players to compensate for the loss of homegrown status. 

 

Side note- Did you have any issues getting the 1846 Brigade 3d kits loading? I had a very strange issue, 2d loaded fine but 3d in game and load up screen defaulted to the SI vanilla. I had to mess around with it for a while to get it work…but only with new kits that I made with Kitbasher. I had to go into FMRTE and change the home kit from 48 to 1….but I liked the sponsors you had on your kits (Harley/Miller) so I then tried again to get them to load…no love. Same issue. I wasn't sure who I was going to play as, Milwaukee or Las Vegas….started a save for both….hated the new red kits for Vegas…liked the older ones…..So I remade their in the old style…..no issue at all loading them into the game. So I'm not sure what happened with the 1846 kits.

Appreciate the work you've done on all of this. Question about the youth and reserve teams…..why are there no league games scheduled for them? Your players can't develop if there are no league game in their respective divisions. I was playing as a mls2 team but my U-19s and reserves have no league games scheduled.

That's because they're from over 11 years ago…

 

Yes….I understood that…however the SORTITOUTSI website is still posting the link(s) as if they were active. I posted because I was trying to let other users and SORTITOUTSI staff, such as yourself (based on your “staff badge") know that the link(s) was/were dead. Instead I got the (insert whatever adjective you feel is the most appropriate here) response you posted. 🙂 If there is another way to provide that type of feedback to SORTITOUTSI staff pls let me know, because I didn't see it.

 

P.S., Funny thing most of the Mediafire links were still active but almost none of the depositfile were.

Also, for any users who are looking 3d kits for the older FMs…I'm pretty sure that FM9 thru 17 used the same format so you should be able to use any of those 3d kits sets interchangeably (i.e., You can use a 3d kit set from FM17 for FM12, etc.)

Ah yes, the Bavarians, my home town team. I think the 12 month limit is because of the reputation of the club - I've run into that one before, and I think you see similar things in other countries in game. The large number of Argentinians is probably the result (fault) of how I assigned players - there weren't a lot of US free agents, so I grabbed some from other countries like Argentina to round out the league, which is why they are so prominent. I randomly assigned them, so that is why the team may be unbalanced. 

 

Np…thanks for all of the work you put into this…I know it can take more of your time than many people realize.

I had only seen it with MLS teams, so it's interesting it would happen with a non-MLS one. Which team was it?

 

Lol….I made a total mess of my reply…I'm a mean, lean, forum posting machine. I saw that in '25 Milwaukee is suppose to get a USL Championship team.

Milwaukee Bavarians…which is not a “real” pro team IRL. They're a club that offers youth and amateur adult soccer program/teams. They have a team in USL2. When the  game auto generated my players on the first team (most of which were weirdly from Argentina, which seemed to be a trend with generated players on other teams too.) it didn't generate any goalies or center midfielders…so I set out to sign goalies and center mids ASAP. Everyone of the players I tried to sign was limited to a 12 month contact.

I have noticed that problem too which is odd because it wasn't a issue before. When I try to sign anyone they fight to get a 1 year deal regardless of the terms offered. I've tested and it doesn't do it if this file isn't active so theres something wrong but no clue what.

 

I was trying out the US advance file and ran into the same issue with a non-MLS team. One year deals or nothing, it was for the main team. I do wish SI would give us a version of the MLS/USA structure that wasn't so “hard coded” so that those of us who don't want to play MLS in it's RL version can. Even with all of the “hard coding” by SI the MLS still doesn't run right.
