#862366 Verified DB Not Showing In The Game

I edited the Scottish League to 12 teams to add Celtic and Rangers B teams to cinch League 2. The DB is showing as verified, and the two clubs show as being in League 2.  

When I create the new game with the DB added, League 2 still has 10 teams, and they are both in the Lowland League.  I even simulated a season to see if they started in the second season, but that didn't happen.

Can anyone offer some help?

Me again. I followed your explanation, and it worked to verify the DB, but when I started a new game, the B teams werent in League 2. I checked the correct DB was loaded, and any DB's that didn't work were deleted. ONly DB's on are fixes for other things that I've downloaded from here other FM sites.

Any ideas?

hey guys, thanks for the help.  you got me there.

much appreciated.

I was initially in the correct spot, but I didnt realise to change the drop down from scotland to cinch 2 so i was clicking on cinch 2 from the list below scotland and away from the advanced rules section.

Hi! you can try this and tell me if it works in Scotland too.

1 - Go to advanced rules of Scotland
2 - Go to Cinch League 1
3 - Promotion/Relegation
4 - Check Teams that cannot be promoted from lower division
5 - Try with the settings that I put in the second screen (I checked that in Scotland the B teams are called "B Teams" and not with other names of different categories.

This way, you ensure that B teams can only get promoted to League Two and that's it.
 

 

Scotland did away with reserve leagues a while back so clubs felt young players weren't developing because they were only playing against other kids.  Celtic, Rangers and Hearts created B teams so they could play in the Lowland League to get more competitive games. Rangers pulled out after a season or two, but Celtic and Hearts are still there.

Possibly interesting fact is I met a Celtic B team player and he told me the lads over 18 don't like it and don't feel they get any benefit from it because the quality of the guys in the LL teams isnt good enough. Neither of them have won the LL so take from that what you will.

Hi, thanks for this.  The problem is I don't seem to have the option for promotion/relegation. I used Rules/Add Nation rules/Nation(Scotland)/Add Lower Divs & Cups To Existing Structure/Convert To Advanced Rules. I wondered if it was hiden somewhere.

In Scotland, the B teams are in the Lowland league, but thats not in my DB, so the youths play loads of friendlies.  (I also met a B team player IRL and he said the players didn't get any benefit from it…but the game won't take that into account).  I've added the B teams into the League 2 and I want to stop them being promoted out of it, but I can't find anything in advanced rules that allows me to do that.

There used to be a simple tick box in older versions of the editor, but I can't find anything or anything online about it for FM24.

Can any of you amazing people help with this?

The third image shows a stadium, but when I've installed the skin, the stadium area is blank. Is there a way to add stadium pictures?
