minisav Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I totally agree. The only reason I reserved a space for CV's sign-up was because I came up with the original idea so I thought it was only fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yeah, sorry to all who couldn't get a striker spot (Like you Mr. Pablo Gonzalez aka Blackcats ) And I was planning to reserve a spot for roberto at least, but I wouldn't need one because I'm the manager.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The New Europe So I have been developing on this idea slowly, it is taking time, I realised what my database error was I had no 'scottish' teams in "A Lower Division" so this was causing issues when it tried to make the scottish cup...so I believe I have fixed the problem. I am working on the idea slowly and building it out. The Leagues USSR - This will include all the former soviet republics UK - Scotland, N. Ireland, Wales and England United East Germany - Will take the longest seperating who is east and west West Germany - As above Yugoslavia - Joining these nations together as well Czechoslovakia - Recombining these two as well Basque - All the Basque Spanish teams shall have their own league (34 teams will replace Slovakia I believe) Now this is leaving me with an issue that I have a large number of nations that now will not exist, but I am trying to figure out how it is best to fix this up. One of the ideas was to remove the nations from the database, but I think this might cause more problems. If anyone has an idea or can think of some more splits I could make this would be great, otherwise I will come up with something, it might just take a while longer to achieve it. The Teams Placement I was originally going to do this purely on team reputation, but for example in the UK this would mean the Premiership has 18 English teams and 2 Scottish Teams, and Wales top team is only in the BSP level. So I am going to do it on a population ratio as well as Reputation. EG. The Premiership would have 16 English Teams, 2 Scottish Teams, 1 Welsh Team & 1 N. Irish Team. And this ratio would continue down through the leagues. I will follow a similar basis when doing the USSR League as it will make the balance fairer and also sort it so that there are teams from all the nations within every level, even if within a few seasons this will change. Help I need 1. Research - West vs East Germany Clubs & towns. 2. More possible country split ups. eg Turkey? 3. How to split the German Players & Spanish players properly. 4. Any help at all in a way to make a mass edit, eg. Being able to change all players with Scottish Nationality to United Kingdom easily. If anyone can think of anything else that would be a great help as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minisav Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 How far back you going for these split ups. There was Austria-Hungary circa WW1. They had some of the Balkans at some point iirc. If you go back further then UK could become British Empire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some of the Balkans at some point iirc. If you go back further then UK could become British Empire I did think about Austria-Hungary, but decided against it in the end, I think now I want to find more nations to use not less, as that one and British Empire would both create the issue of having less nations, and giving me more gaps throughout the database. I want to get an entire nation clear of anything, people included and see what happens. I may just remove a nation from the database and see what happens.

PaulHartman71 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 you could do a Scandanavian (sp) league? if you did i'd be willing to sort out reputation & population etc, and which clubs should go in each division if you wanted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Scandanavian League actually sounds like a great idea as well. But still falls into the problem of reducing nations. I will happily help with researching east and west germany clubs.Do you want me to compile an excel sheet with teams from each region with their reputation? Yes please Corintiano that would be awesome and exactly what I would need for those leagues. Alright. British Empire would only change them surely? Like Australia would just become Britain. Would mean more effort though.I may be misunderstanding you so you may want to ignore. I think it is a misunderstanding. Currently I am moving all Scottish Players to what used to be the English Nationality, now it is UK Nationality. So my problem is developing from what happens to the old 'Scottish' Nationality and what issues it is going to cause in the database in regards to the number of teams in the Champions League, how European Competitions will be done and other issues similar. I am just unsure on whether it is possible to remove Nationalitys from the database all together especially seen as it will cause issues in international type fixtures. So hoping i can find a way to fill the missing ones. Splitting Cyprus is another idea that has passed through my head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I may be completely off track but perhaps a Portguese or French Empire, where all the clubs from the former colonies of those countries could be included. Would mean that some African clubs etc could get into some of these leagues. Of course I may be missing the point completely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I think the biggest problem I am going to face is Nationalitys. Making all these leagues is no trouble at all, infact its almost easy. I think what I may need to do is to just leave teams & Players with their current nationalitys which does mean that disappointgly there would be no International game between USSR & UK, but it will prevent the causing of having to remove nationalities from the database...

Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Would make it interesting, but I found this article on separatism throughout Europe, not sure how manageable it would be, but it would at least be possible to just add the nationalities in to fill the current blank ones Giving the teams the same ranking pts etc as their current national side. And possibly giving them some of the clubs in their regions. That combined with the large Leagues would almost be perfect.

Guest roberto922 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 How about Catalonian teams? You could mix them with Basque to bring the overall quality up or make seperate league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 That was another one I thought of. Someone in the editors forum has also suggested to me some of the smaller countries in Europe and giving them their own leagues and nation set-up. I am getting plenty of ideaws, I jsut know its a huge mission, so aim is before the end of January to ahve built the database and have run 5 or so trial games to make sure it works in all the necessary places.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Some ideas from around the place. - Sicily - Corsica - Greenland - Gozo - Gibraltar - Northern Cyprus - Vatican City?

spartans5 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well, both the West Bank and Gaza are supposed to be Palestine, so maybe keep the two of them together but make them their own league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 That was my thought on it Spartans, as for the others some of them will not have leagues at all, but just creating the nations so there are no gaps in the database basically. The aim being to have all the European and Asian nations filled even if it is with a province 'breaking away' and their teams continue to play in the main leagues. For example say I take Transylvania out, they would become their own nation with players, but continue to play in Romania, or Vatican City as a nation in the game could be fun, but they would have a club team in the Italian league.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well Pluck compiling a list of all the USSR teams and their respective Reputations could help, otherwise you could check out some of the smaller nations and report back to me on which ones seem to have enough clubs to fill a league, probably 2 level leagues so need 50+ clubs or there abouts. Research List that needs doing if anyone can help 1. USSR - A full list of clubs from Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan. (Thanks Pluckaduck) 2. Catalonia/Basque - A full list of clubs with reputation, giving an idea of what size league they can fill. 3. Czechoslovakia - Club list with Reputations. Slovakia & Czech Rep. 4. Yugoslavia - Club List, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro & Slovenia. 5. Provincal Splits - Research of any parts of nations that want to seperate and how many clubs they would have, whether they can fill their own league or would be part of another. 6. China - Would a provincial Split of China be possible? 7. East/West Germany - Split it out (Thanks a heap Corinthiano) I think those are the major research projects I need right now. Hopefully by this time 2moro I have moved around all the major nations and have a database test running to tell me that it is working how I intend it too. (This test will have nations labelled "Nation 1" etc as I don't know all the spots yet.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Its probably fine no matter how long it takes, it has taken me about 3-4 hours to edit only the UK Clubs into the correct Country, think about from there how much more there is to do.

After finishing 8th in the Portuguese Liga Sagres in 2016/17, we hadn't qualified til the Sporting Play Draw came up with Portugal in the selection and as the four teams with less cards had qualified we were in, I have managed to win the first three qualifying stages, so only one left.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thanks Corinthiano And Cardio I will try to explain how I sorted the clubs. I started by working out the % of the population in each of the 4 areas, and then multiplied it by 20 (rough number of clubs in each league), this showed that Wales should have 1 team, NI 1 team & Scotland 2 teams, so I made this the minimum number of clubs for each of them. England would dominate so no minimum for them. I then sorted the entire list by Reputation and started down from the top leaving the 4 spaces open at the bottom for Scotland, NI & Wales. If one of their teams was at the level they took the spot. If there was more teams than the minimum that was great, but if they didn't have a team when the league was finished I found the next highest rep club for that nation and they moved up a league or so. And thats how the list was compiled from top to bottom. Just working through level 9 now. 14 Leagues with 280 Clubs. And then it is actually putting this info into the database.
