It depends on when the editor gets fixed. Once the bug has been resolved I'll get to work on it. My hope is that it'll be done 1-2 weeks after we can edit us databases.

Thanks for playing Diamundium! I really appreciate it. I do have an updated version of the Canadian logo and kit pack - you can find it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iRuL2bHWJo4sqZOwI-MfW_zYAYEZaQ3S/view?usp=sharing. It's for FM 23, but I think i...

In anticipation of FM 23, I rebuilt the database from scratch (I learned a lot along the way that I wanted to incorporate into a new version.) You can find it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OmS-37BFEvuIbX6QumFwtjRFkfczfS6t?usp=sharing....

So, this is a weird issue with the database sometimes. Try unselecting one of the other nations and see if the US is playable then. If it isn't send me a dm and we can troubleshoot from there. 

Hi Trey - yes, it is a pretty fixture heavy mod, especially in the early going. It was particularly bad in the older versions of this file because of the limits of a basic database, but it should be a little better in the latest version. Squad depth is ke...

This was a quick fix for me in the editor, so I just did it and uploaded a new file. The short version is because the Islanders' competition nation is set to the US, it didn't allow the team to scout Puerto Rico freely. I tweaked it so that there's a rela...

Good news! It appears that the youth intake and crash to desktop bugs are fixed in the latest version of the game. I'm going to take the next couple of days to switch the US database back to advanced mode and make the appropriate changes, and repost somet...

Hi Ins,  It may. I posted a couple of bug repots on the forum (the crash to desktop and youth intake issues) and those bugs weren't fixed in v 22.3. I'm waiting to see if I would need to do a complete rebuild to make them work, or if I can do a...

Hey Iguto - I'm sorry for the slow reply. First, a lot of the CPL teams will not have reserve teams on because that's the way the league operates right now. I looked in the editor file and Montreal does have a reserve team listed with “not used” checked....

Oh! I didn't make any adjustments to the Canadian database in terms of U19s and Reserves, so whatever the teams had in the vanilla game should be present in the Canadian database. Did you try asking the board for a U19 team or a reserves team? (Also, the...

This may be a result of the switch from advanced to basic in the database. I think I had it set up where amateur teams just have the main team, semi-pros had u19s, and the professional levels had U-19 and reserves.  

Hi Everyone - thanks again for your reports of crashes and the issues with the youth intake. Lower Level CTD: I've submitted the CTD issues to SI, and they are taking a look at it. I think it may be another lower level bug, but we will see what they...

Hi Keelan - I noticed something similar in my save, so I’ll dig around and see if i can figure out what is going on. Thanks for raising the issue!

Yeah, it's not ideal to lose the preseason work. I'm working on figuring out the fix. Thanks all for the heads up

Thanks for letting me know Lyds. I sent you a pm - if you can send me the files I’ll take a look and see if I can figure out what’s going on. 

Thanks for letting me know Lyds. What is the date of the final? 

I believe the winners do - I have multiple sims that went 20+ years into the future when I tested the database, and looking through those it seems like the team that wins the CL in the year of the World Club Championship qualifies.  As far as mi...

I made a couple of small tweaks to the US database - I realized that a couple of the midseason tournaments did not have the correct dates and updated accordingly. It's more of a quality of life thing than anything - if you have a previous version you shou...

You should be able to take the four folders (Logos, Icons, Home Kits, Away Kits) and directly paste them into the /graphics folder. You will want to keep the Canada and the US folders separate (and the other folder structure from the zip file in place) be...

Since those are the kits and logos, you will want to put them in /graphics. The game doesn’t automatically create that folder in the sportsinteractive/football manager 22/ directory, so you will need to create a folder in there, rename it to graphics, the...

That would be great. Thanks Footygamer!

SamuelBlue and I have been messaging back and forth, and it looks like there is a bug of some kind at level eight that causes a Crash to desktop on January 23rd. I can't figure out why that is, but it seems like starting on January 25th at the lower level...

Thanks for letting me know Samuel. What team were you playing with, and in what league? 

I have also simulated the US and Canada databases at least ten years out, and they have been stable. If you run into issues please let me know, and feel free to post any questions. Thanks all!

I also put together various and sundry CONCACAF leagues. These were done in basic mode in the editor, and mostly follow the schedule and roster restrictions of the nations in question - this is mostly so you can follow what happens in the other leagues th...
