TiltedAiri - Comments

Hi friends! Since it looks like we're at the end of the FM 23 window, This summer I may release a few test versions I've been working on. They're elements I may or may not include in the FM 24 version of this database, so I want to see if anyone wants to use them and give feedback. 

 

First, I redid the qualification in the top tier of the US database based on this James Lawrence Alcott tweet: 

 

So, for the US top tier, the top 3 teams automatically qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League, and teams 4-7 are entered into a playoff. The winners of the semifinal face off for the last CONCACAF Champions League spot (loser goes to the Gold cup), while the losers of the semifinal face off for the last Gold Cup spot (loser goes to the Silver Cup.) It's down below as US Advanced Playoff Test. 

 

 

The second is a reworking of the CONCACAF Champions League to mimic the drops between the Champions, Europa, and Europa Conference Leagues. So, the top two CL teams go into the round of 16, the 3rd place group team in the CL faces the 2nd place group team in the Gold Cup, and the 4th place CL team faces the 2nd place team in the Silver Cup. The loser of the knockouts in the Gold Cup faces the winner of the silver Cup round, and that team proceeds to the round of 16 in the Silver Cup. It's down below as CC - Drops between competitions. 

 

I have a more… ambitious one I'm working on for the champions league, but that will take some time this summer. 

 

If you use them, please feel free to let me know what you think and any tweaks you would suggest. Thanks all!

Hi Airi - thanks for continuing to dig in, and yes, you found what looks like the workaround - if you have the in game editor, quit before the fourth Monday in August, sim pass the date, then jump back into the club. It impacts more than just my mod (https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2023-bugs-tracker/913_pre-game-and-in-game-editor/custom-league-verified-by-editor-but-game-will-crash-always-r14605/) and may not have been addressed in the latest rounds of patches, so we may just be in this world for this version of the game.  

hey Chris!

 

Just wanted to let you know I've been looking for what could be causing crashes and I downloaded FM23 onto my dinky little work laptop and used the Database and it seems to work just fine!

 

Unsure if it's a Hardware thing, or something we have installed in our FM that's breaking it

I don’t use facepacks. I’m using flut skin and sometimes Zealand skin. Logos is the fm ones off this site. but other then that I don’t use many graphic mods to be honest. 

I haven’t had any issues to be honest with your file at all. I did change the Top 3 leagues into a split after half a season. But it has not crashed on me yet. i am going into my second season soon and no issues. Started with Miami flamingoes. Going up next season. But I am also still using the beta advanced files you provided with minor tweaks. If anything changes I will report it  

No, in my experience I use only one from all this huge data and it's work fine.  

Hi Airi! Thanks for beta testing this file for me. It looks like the August 22nd date isn't connected to anything in the game - there was a cup draw on that date, but I moved it and it still crashed to desktop. We had a similar issue in FM 22, (https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/previous-versions/football-manager-2022-bugs-forum/pre-game-and-in-game-editor/10-tier-database-ctds-in-january-of-first-year-r6026/?tab=comments#comment-40720), so I'm afraid it's probably a bug in the game. I'd suggest using the basic database then if you want to do a lower level club. 

No Problem! I'm currently having an issue where it crashes in Late August every time I try to sim, but I'm troubleshooting rn to see if it's one of these databases, or something else I have installed. I'm not sure if there's any known issues like that that you know of XD

I did make the packs. It's good to know about St. Louis City (I had to remake it for this edition because of a change in the database) and the league logos. If you let me know the other ones I'll make the changes and re-upload it. Thanks Airi!

As a Zealand fan, I feel obliged to sing the LOANS song to you (look for loans to fill out your team (essentially a short term contract where the player returns to their original team at the end of it.) You get up to six, so choose wisely.) If you want more FM tips, I found his youtube channel helpful. 

Doesn't work for me, when testing and creating competitions it says that a bunch of teams are missing in some leagues and I cannot proceed to test the file.

hihi! Reading through this cause i love the concept but, just wondering if you're aware of the problem with both Canada & US for 23.3.0

 

I've tried to put in screenshots for it, so hopefully they go through.

 

This is my first FM so its entirely possible that I mucked something up while installing but I couldn't find any fix scrolling through here or online so wondered if it's possibly a bug or something that you're aware of XD

 

Love what you're doing, so please keep up the amazing work!
