nick1408 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 G'day, I am currently playing as Dortmund and have a query. I created the game with only the 2. Bundesliga (stupidly). I am adding the 3. liga at the end of the season. My question is can I save/reload if my II team is not in the 3. Liga until they are? Thanks.

Boot442 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes, they can, I have only seen the Bayern II team yo-yoing the last few years. Still waiting for my Hannover II team to come up. I belive the chance of promotion is based on reputation. At the moment my reserves have 1.5 star rep (about 20th among non league teams) I would be interested in any tips on improving their rep to improve the chance of promotion.

nick1408 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 I loaded my second team with fringe first teamers in the hope it may help. I guess I will have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot442 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Does that help if they don't play any competitive fixtures? I an loath to leave any 19-23yo with potential there and stunt their development die to the lack of competitive football, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1408 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 No idea really. I load up the friendlies to actually get games into them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1408 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 A further question to the original; since I am adding the third tier do I have 20 spots that could be filled, six (I have already played through one season) or only three possible spots that could be filled?

You're the first person I know who claims having witnessed this. Are you sure you saw them go down to a non-playable division and come back eventually? As far as I know German reserve teams are not considered when determining the newly promoted teams to the bottom division. Can you provide a screenshot?

Guest Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 German II teams do get relegated from & promoted to 3.Liga, on FM12 there are 7 II teams FC Bayern, VFB Stuttgart, W.Bremen, Dortmund, Kaiserslautern, Leverkusen & Wolfsburg. As I mentioned in the other German II teams thread after 5 or 6 seasons these 7 teams spend the rest of the game swapping places with each other as they become the whipping boys of the division. What I'm not sure about is if you use a league pack to activate the lower German leagues, my hunch is that they will continue to drop down those. 2040/41 2042/43 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozza800 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I played as Dortmund for nearly 20 years. Dortmund II played in the Regional Liga. No matter how good my II side was (and it was good) they would never get promoted. It was really annoying as it meant that prospects had to be good enough for the first team early on.

ilCuoreDiRoma Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 do what i did. i wanted to play as schalke in FM12 without having a paperweight reserve team, so i edited the 3. Liga structure using FM editor to include Dortmund II, Schalke II, and Bayern II. it's not that hard. only takes 2 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
