Players keep asking for non promotion release clauses in contracts. I don't know if this will trigger in a league without promotions. Maybe you have more experience with it and understand better. I've been removing them using the in-game editor but maybe you'd have some insight TMC. Do you need help with anything with the database?

That's super fair. The Rhode Island one looks to be almost completed in reality

This is my current list of stuff to add: 
USL CHAMPIONSHIP:

Indy Eleven - Eleven Park - (Early 2026, 20,000 all seater, state of the art)

New Mexico United - ??? (Mid 2026, 9600 seating 1400 standing, very good)

Detroit City FC - ??? (Early 2027, 14000 seats, standing room?, very good?)

Rhode Island FC - Tidewater Landing Stadium - (Early 2025, 10,500 all seater, very good)

USL LEAGUE TWO

Union Omaha - Alliance Sports Stadium - (Mid 2026, 7,000 all seater, very good)

I really appreciate you adding in the income! I'm currently trying to figure out the editor and learning right now. Want to add future stadium moves. Once I figure it out, would you like me to share a list of my changes with you and/or share the editor file? Currently I've only added Union Omaha's mid 2026 stadium move but will be looking online to see what other teams are planning stadiums if any.

Do you think when FM 25 comes you'd be interested in adding the sponsorship finances in? I've been manually adding it for each of the USL1 teams as Lexington us the only USL1 team with any actual sponsorship income ($750k compared to everyone else's 0). I've personally gone in and just given everyone two year renewing details that breakout to this:

 

Individual TV Deal: $50k
Other Income: $50k

Shirt Sleeve: $75k

Back of Jersey: $100k

Uniform Sponsor: $250k

 

I don't know how this will workout in the long haul but I noticed in my first run through that I had zero income as one team and it sucked. Will see how this edit plays out.

 

Edit: I'll post some results for you after a couple years of clubs before and after with these income adjustments.

You might be right. I didn't think about that. I don't believe they did participate in any leagues so that theory could make sense. I did find some USL Youth Rules linked here if that ends up being something you're interested in. I also found a separate academy version here. I hope you continue working on this database once FM25 comes out. It is by far my favorite database and I appreciate your work.

Hey The Modelcitizen. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the DB or with Football Manager as a whole. I was playing as Union Omaha and my board offered some extra cash. I opted to ask them to setup a youth squad and they made a Union Omaha II. The issue is that I'm unable to hire anyone to work for the club despite owning the responsibilities for said youth team and I can't place adverts for the jobs either. When offering them a job for the secondary the selection where you choose part time or full time is just a dash line and nothing else. Other than that, I really appreciate you working this database and making a quality product to share. You should add a “Buy me a coffee” link or something mate.
