Major League Soccer

Since MLS isn't an option on the demo....I'm in the dark.

Have SI adjusted the coding to allow the proper rules and options of MLS to take effect?

I would certainly hope so.

They rebrand this and sell it accross America as Worldwide Soccer Manager. If the US leagues don't work properly the game would sell a fraction of it's potential.

I'd assume that at the very least the higher cap and 3 DP's are in the rules now. Philadelphia aswell of course.

i hope so too as i quite enjoy the MLS system , it'a path i go down in my fm career aswell as mexico and brazil

Would love it if Vancouver get introduced next year (or whenever it is) as well.

this will not happen, SI only have the rights for the current season.

They don't sell it as WWSM, its called Football Manager now everywhere.

This. And the selling potential of this game in the US is pretty low to begin with. And among the US crowd that does want the game, I would be surprised if more than an outlier minority would consider the MLS the primary draw.

I'm sure the rules will be correct for the coming season, as for Vancouver, the definitive answer would have to come from someone from SI who knows for a fact or alternatively wait till people have played the game for a season with the MLS loaded and see if they appear.

Yeah, I'd like to know too what has been implemented as it pertains to MLS. And yes, this is one thing that draws me to the game is being able to manage MLS.

Yeah, i'd heard this. Though thanks to the league editor, i expect it will only be a matter of time before someone creates an add-in to have the MLS with Vancouver (and the other team coming in, Portland?)

Can anyone who has purchased FM 2011 give some feedback regarding Major League Soccer and if the league rules, salary cap, DP spots, draft, etc. are up to date or not?

Wait until the next patch (after the January transfer window.) Honestly. We've already got a running list of bugs posted here and over at FMNorthAmerica and so far no one's been impressed.

3 DP spots seems to be in. Lots of other small stuff is wrong/needs work. (shocker)

Thanks for the post. I always begin my FM career with my beloved Galaxy. And since it sounds like the MLS element is broken at the moment, I am going to wait till it's fixed. I am not going to pay until I get the complete FM experience. So thanks for the input. I hope SI can fix this soon so I can return as a customer. Have a good one.

In FM2011 Salary Cap is already dynamic like FM09 and versions below or is equal FM10 (static) ?
