Hi William, I can see it is added in the editor but when i start a save it is not in the game? Holiday'd a full season with Brechin and the cup didn't take place. Any ideas?

Hi William, I have downloaded your real pyramid system and am looking to start a new save, however it seems the highland league cup is not included in game? The lowland league cup is included but not the highland. Do you know why this may be? Cheers

Hi William, 

Also finding that perhaps again linked to changes with the way the B team are setup, the squad screen when Celtic has loads of options missing.  It isn't skin related as far as I can tell and doesn't replicate if game loaded without this file. It only shows me Overview and International, but not tactics, players etc. as normal. Could it be linked to B team changes and how it draws information around both? Also noticed the U21 (B Team) has no players at game start. All players either go to the Main squad or U18. 

 

Are you or know anyone creating Scottish League System for FM24  but with different Structure  SPL - 16 Teams, and Champ, L1, L2 - 12 Teams?  

 

Wasnt sure how to do it myself.

not sure if a database bug or a save issue, however the Scottish Cup just doesn't begin in the second season. It gets to the date of the draw for the Preliminary Round then when you view the competitions tab it states that the draw is the next day, and every day you sim to it just tells you the draw is the next day. I've just went past the day the second round was supposed to have been played and there's still been no draws made or fixtures.

 

I'll continue on into the third season to see if it is just a bug for the season or not.

Hi William, absolutely love your database, just a wee problem I have. I wanted to change a team name from Gairloch Aultbea Utd to Poolewe United and add a new player i.e myself, unfortunately when I go to test the rules it gives me an errors in number of teams in leagues, for example. Require 12 teams for cinch Premiership, found only 20 and there's another 12 more leagues in the error list, like require 8 teams for Scottish U18 Elite League, found 0. Is there a way round this to get it to accept the rules just for changing a team name and new player. This is a brilliant database and just what I was looking for, I used to play for some of the teams from the Skye league. anyway would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

Colin

do you happen to have a completely standard scottish lower league db?

That’s class mate , does the money change at the Clubs have ?

Great, hopefully you’ll be able to fix it without any issues 

budgets in lowland league are a bit off mate 

will you be making your scottish english set up this year

Thank you for creating this database. However, there seems to be an error in the schedule. Scottish Premier League teams had 17 games in between December and January, while only 2 games in September and October. Also there is no winter break in the schedule 

Hi William, Is this a serious update with the real regulations? relegation?

Celtic B team are in the reserves and lowland leagues , so doesn’t work 

Just about finished my second season in this, quite enjoying it, especially watching the money flood into Scottish football and some mad transfers. One question: it seems the UK and Ireland cup, in the earlier rounds, tries to keep drawing Scottish teams against Scottish teams and English vs English etc. when possible; apart from a couple of cross-border clashes. Is this intentional? 

 

Also somewhat related, the fixture congestion with the UKI Cup is a bit mental especially if you have European football after Christmas. Just an idea but maybe to help with this you could scrap the League Cups in Scotland and England? 

 

Overall enjoying it a lot, going to batter into a few more seasons. Cheers pal!

I loaded this up 'cos I love a very lower-league Scottish save. Your teams in Tiers 10 and 11 have much higher reputations than in higher leagues, and half the teams in Tier 11 have professional-standard youth facilities. It might result in interesting accelerated promotions for these teams, but managing them would be too easy, would it not? Or is that the point?

Hi, 

 

I am nowhere near your level with the editor, but I am trying to replicate the new format for 22/23 in Scotland.  When I looked at existing mods for the Scottish Pyramid, I concluded it would be easier to make it from scratch with the 2022/23 structure, but I have no idea how to setup the regional knock on that comes with promotion and relegation across the pyramid so gave up. Sorry that doesn't help much. 

 

I hope you find a way. On top of the various changes to structure, there are at least five teams not in the game that would need added too in WoS division four, plus the name changes (Edinburgh City now FC Edinburgh and Broomhill FC (Lowland League), now Open Goal Broomhill FC. Guess those are minor in the grand scheme of things. Harthill moving to EoS from WoS and Threave moving from SoS to WoS might also impact the regional boundary stuff, but it was way over my head. 

 

Turning VAR on for the SPL too would mean it is as close as it can be to the 22/23 season. 

 

I do have a one page overview of which teams changed leagues, but that as far as I got! I have an altered version of one of the mods with VAR on for SPL, Hearts B in the Lowland league, the two clubs I mentioned renamed and promotion/relegation done to level 5, but brick wall for me trying to sort Level 6 and below. 

This is excellent but when I use it, it takes away the real SPFL fixtures and creates new one. Any way to avoid this and keep the real fixtures?
