import it, instead of load.

JAY MEE TEE just so u know your 4 new teams don't have academys

Yea, import not load. I will add the academies in the next version

Another good american update !!! Are you going to create the USL and NASL ? With the new squads (miami fc, RGV Toros, Rayo OKC,...) ?

Eventually yes I spent most of last night/early morning trying to make a working NASL to how I would like it. I'm quite new to the advanced editor so it has been quite a challenge, but I am getting there

I want to change 3 of your American MLS teams and put Ottawa Fury, FC Edmonton and my created canadian team in their... FC Edmonton and Ottawa Fury are already in the game do i just swap them or do i need to re-create them?

Just swap them with the teams you want to replace and it should work fine

Is anyone doing the Real life USA database or are they always making it so you can get relegation and promotion? I get its a good idea but I want to play the lower levels properly.

That is the aim for this project. I am eventually going to try and make it so the teams are added in at the right years but it is quite a challenge. I am working on the NASL and USL right now.

UPDATE: The NASL and USL structures are pretty much complete. The only issue I can find is I cannot make the combined table for the NASL. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

Wish I could help but am looking forward to this! Anyway you can make 2 db's one with the 24 team MLS and another with just the 20 team MLS?

I will see how it goes. The ultimate aim is to have it so the league grows over time as scheduled in real life, but this might not be possible. If it is not, i will release 2 files.

Sounds good, thanks for putting this together. Looking forward to playing in NASL.

Hows the database with the academy's in it... i wanna give it a try but don't want teams to be disadvantage with no academy teams.

The next release should have the academies in. Just fine tuning everything now. Only MLS and NASL will be playable in 0.2 though.

I want 20 teams file also... Untouched MLS with working lower levels is enough for me

So your USA project has all MLS rules just 4 more teams... when i mean rules i mean like drafts and such

I think there is a rules problem : "No teams founded for MLS stage 3"... Last season games are "Wild Card games"... Do you know it ?

Yes I am aware of the play off issue. I have reverted the MLS back to 20 teams for now untill I get the extra team to work fully. I am doing 1 last test before releasing 0.2, with a playable NASL.

I remember Dim on the forums creating a US database and ran into troubles with created teams when they entered the Play-offs as a wild card, he managed to get past this issue though by adding another stage or something along those lines. Might be worth checking out his file or thread for FM15!

I will check out his database soon I already have an idea of how I can fix it, its just a matter of having the patience. Editing USA has been very problematic, especially with being new to the advanced editor. I am going to take a break from this for today. I havent stopped working on this since I started, to the point I am using the editor in my dreams. XD

Anyway, 0.2 has been posted, which includes the NASL.

The link doesnt work?

And thanks for clearing it up. This should be a fun database, i cant wait to try it.

Link updated, with the combined standings also.

Nice normally I don't like fantasy files but since these clubs are actually joining the league this has my interest

Is there anyway to import the expansion clubs instead of them being 'new' clubs if that makes sense?

Just wondering does the 0.2 include Academy's for the 4 new MLS squads?

Just wondering... I go into the editor and click import then look up NASL and there's no clubs however Toronto Blizzard is listed in NASL how do i view whos all in NASL?

The expansion clubs have been removed on 0.2 untill i fix the playoffs.

Their should be clubs under the team tab. No idea why you cant see them.

my bad because i was searching for NASL lol... do the NASL squads have academy's or no

I don't think any of them do. I don't think they have them in real life either do they?

Has anyone downloaded and played this yet? How is your save going?

Downloaded and kicked off a new game just to make sure I could select NASL as a playable league. My main excitement TBH though is with the USL update you are working on.

I love MLS and the nuanced rules it has but developing players is very hard w/o an affiliate that actually plays games. Having MLS teams with USL affiliates (like RBNY II) playing consistly will actually allow the development of younger players MUCH better.

I'll be starting a game as soon as the USL update is out and can keep you updated with how things go!

edited to add: thanks so much for building this and providing it to everyone!

I will try and get USL finished tonight, atleast to a playable standard. I have it made, but its with a 8 team playoff rather than a 12 team one. Shouldnt be too much work.

Big time thanks! I look forward to importing it into the editor to learn how to add more things like Academy games, etc on my own.

The gamer in me wishes this were out right when I bought the game earlier this week - the professional in me though is SO glad it takes a while to get all this done and it's now Friday night.

Once again thank you so much for putting all the effort into getting this built!

The MLS teams have academy teams already.

Yeah, bad example from me. First time seeing the editor so it's exciting to see how you are adding the leagues as playable and with actual schedules.

0.3 posted USL is playable.

Having an issue wih getting the teams to have 6 games against the other conference however. This is because I have to set each conference up as a sub division, rather than groups. I cannot set them up as groups without moving the clubs into the main competition. If I do this, I get a crash because the cup is looking for the team in the conferences and not the main comp. Complicated to explain, but I am working on it Each team plays each in their conference twice for now, then meet in the playoff.

The top 2 teams from each conference get a bye to the quarters. The 3rd to 6th from each conference enter the playoff in the first round, the winning teams go through the the quarters. Just like in real life.

MLS Academy teams are managable, also.

Very cool! Downloaded and starting a game now - will let you know how things go 8 hours from now when I blink and realize it's already 6am...

Awesome good luck

changing NYCFC to my hometown team in Canada or u think that would crash as fc edmonton, ottawa, vancouver, montreal and toronto or would that work with 6 teams

Swapping teams should be okay. Just make sure the league you swap the team out of has the number of teams it started with.

this looks great, always wanted to play as a NASL team!

Any particular rules about roster or contracts in the NASL? money prize, awards, transfers and regens all working as intended? looking forward to have a long term save with this!

No what my question was if I move nycfc to a Canadian city would that screw up the Canadian cup

There is no roster rules yet, I havent been about to find any information on it.

And i have no idea i havent tried. Youll just have to try it and see

What's diff between MLS and nasl besides the drafts?

The rules and setup are different.

There is 2 league stages in one season. One is called the spring season, one is called the fall season. The winner of each stage qualifies for the playoffs. Then points from both seasons are added together, and the two highest teams on the combined table qualify for the playoff also. Then a standard 4 team playoff comenses. The winner of this is the champion.

They are under "nation"- USA, "match rules " then#14.. They will be towards bottom. Not in from of my computer but pretty sure this is correct.

Only critique I have is , under past winner history they list winner twice for playoff and regular season. I have ran into this also when I did my DB. Not sure how to get around it. Would like to see one winner for League and one "soccer bowl" (D2 Champion in editor).

Just as a quick update - finally passed out at 3:30am last night after getting all the way through......1 preseason game . Gotta love FM! So far all is great though - the schedule for RBNY II shows a full slate of games as a USL team which is great for having development opportunities.

Actually just ran into my first issue but I'm guessing this is a bug in FM2016 instead of the editor file.

If you want to sign a designated player and the transfer fee is high the game still tries to take the transfer fee out of your transfer budget allocation money and not allowing it to roll into the DP cost. Unfortunately I don't know if that is simply that the Red Bulls aren't willing to spend much or a bug in how DP transfers work compared to MLS rules.

Will take a look around forums in general (and make sure I understand the rules correctly myself).

is NASL -> MLS like AHL is to NHL when iot comes to calling up and sending down and eveloping players?
