The Modelcitizen Activity
I updated it so they're in USL now, the latest update gave them a full roster. There's an issue with contracts in USLC though (and only USLC), for some reason it thinks every team is broke and won't let you offer contracts. Working on a fix
Probably the same teams in the same places but a lot of work, the game should use the same rules and format at least?
Just checked and it's working fine. Charles, are you running the latest update? If you check under “world” do you see the tournament in the list of other default tournaments like the Italian Youth Invitational?
Is it still not in the base game? I'll update it, should be a quick fix
Yeah no sh*t, this is the same fixture amount as the default competition, which will start in 2025 in real life. Check my intercontinental cup file for the implementation of that December 2024 tournament, it's also true-to-life but more along the lines of...
It's in the default game already?
Can't steal my work and re-release it mate
No, it's a lot of work (my local school is D2 so I definitely wouldn't stop at D1), and that kind of amateur set-up doesn't really translate to FM to be honest (lots of unrealistic player movement). Meanwhile USL2 does the same thing (i.e., produce player...
Cheers, thanks for the help. I'm reluctant to implement anything that reduces the big 4 transfer activity so much as that's one of the fun parts about playing in Saudi. To be honest I spent way too much time on the Gulf files last year only for this trans...
Yeah but somebody else did a good one for FM23 as well if you're still on that: here
You guys should do that! Sounds fun
Wow not bad. There might be some glitches with bringing it into FM24 but sounds like it's working so far. Have you been playing in the Gulf much? I was so downhearted to see how bad the transfer AI is this year (top teams dropping all their Saudi players...
The new version on Steam? It wouldn't let me update the old one so I had to post a new link
Ahh OK the USL2 conference teams of the week weren't working so I dropped them but it sounds like I should have cleared the “nation” too. My bad… thanks for letting me know! Much appreciated
USA road trips go perfectly with this DB! 😉 Might try and take in a USL game next spring while I'm on the road
Ali Sheikh, editor files go in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data or the equivalent folder
I think the problem is mostly located to leagues like Saudi Arabia where the AI is seeking such high-profile players. The game developers haven't also made them sufficiently account for Saudi players in their squads, so the computer-controlled managers en...
New version with a bare bones version of USL2 is up while I work on more details
Yeah, same as in FM23. I tried so many solutions last year and couldn't come up with anything. Unfortunately the big leagues in the Gulf are unplayable after one or two transfer windows due to the default transfer AI. My best guess is those teams are...
You volunteering to beta test? 😉
Brilliant! If you encounter any quirks with contracts, registration, scheduling, etc, PLEASE let me know. This will be a work in progress for a while as we try to make it release-quality. And watch this space for USL2!
Doesn't really interest me, especially since they dropped pro/rel, and to research all the formats and rules in order to do them proper justice you'd probably have to read Spanish. Try fmsite, that seems to be a Spanish-speaking hub for FM. I usually...
Just adding stuff that I see missing like rivalries and awards. It's totally playable now, you can start a new game. Although in the next few weeks you might see a D4 added along with more details like stadiums
USL2 is coming. Thanks for the kind words! I had a great USL2 save in FM18 as well
Check FMFusion. I don't do kits
2024 beta is here
Good question, I'm not sure if it will work. I'd guess yes, but it needs testing. I just bought FM24 so I'm gonna release a new one for FM24 over the next few weeks anyway
Just do those edits in a separate file and load them at the same time. I don't imagine you can load nation rules in here as well, it's an international rules file
This is for FM23 and works fine
Nice! I think it should be fine. Does the first season have 18 teams in the Pro League? It switched from 16 teams in 2022/23 to 18 teams in 2023/24 but it should just skip the rules I have in there for 22/23 and start in 23/24 with 18 teams. That would be...
Will probably add a version for FM24 soon. I expect they'll deal with the overspending in the first patch or so, probably not worth trying to fix that ourselves until they deal with it
Do they have the box checked for “always amateur”?
That's correct, but I understand that UE Olot, who only sign Catalan players (I have a file that does this), will sign players from the Catalan lands (i.e. Valencia, Balearics, etc). So this supports that in the football world, at least, they can be recog...
Happens with created clubs all the time IIRC, game doesn't think they've been playing together a while. Might help if you set the “contract started” date under “contract” to something a few years ago
Thanks for including my files! Will upload Iran as well
Or what does that say? I can't read Turkish (?). Something about 36 and 40 teams?
Are you on 23.3 or whatever caused the Iceland bug? That's nothing to do with me. I think the fix was this: To fix that just open the file in the pre game editor, save it under a new name, then take the club Kordrengir, make them un-extinct, and put...
OK it seems to be working. If a CONCACAF team wins, the best loser in the CCL qualifying round gets into the Libertadores too. They're just ineligible for the CCL standings (will think about if I want to change stuff to shift them back in there and make i...
Ahhh f*ck now CONCACAF isn't running in the following year. Lol, sorting that now
OK seems to be working now. Here's Tigres winning and the groups all drawing properly the next year:
Thank you so much for the kind words, nice to know people are playing and enjoying this stuff
If a North American team wins, it seems to free up a spot, I'm guessing the South American qualification is somehow bumping teams down. So if Flamengo wins, and also qualifies via Brazil, an extra Brazilian team gets invited. When a CONCACAF team wins, th...
Just updating it now to deal with every situation. Give me a day or two
The draw does look weird like that until the qualifying rounds are done, because of all the teams that haven't qualified yet, but I can see from your screenshot that it's July and it still hasn't drawn, so yes that was a result of the bug I fixed a few da...
