Guest Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Only recently started managing in the German third division and have a question about promotion. The league rules say the top 2 teams are promoted and the 3rd place team goes into a play-off, which sounds straight forward. But looking at the league right now, there's green highlights for the 1st, 3rd and 4th teams, with a blue highlight for the 5th place team. Do the highlights not mean what I think they do? Are there rules in place for teams like Bayern and Stuttgart II? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Demus Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 SEcond teams can't promote, so right now teams in 3rd and 4th place will promote, with the team in 5th place playing a playoff match against 16th place from 2nd division Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ok, got it. That looks much more promising for my promotion chances now. Sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavo01 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You may find as you progress through the FM years, that the German II clubs become quite good and take up the first 4 or 5 slots, meaning a team in 8th could get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an issue when using the quick ME as club rep, player rep & player CA are the main factors & maybe even the only factors used when calculating results so everything favours the U23, having the division use the full ME is a must when running any league structure that has B teams in lower divisions.

What exactly do you mean by the phrase in bold? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 FM uses two match engines, a full match engine that simulates the entire 90/120 minutes of every match in a competition or a quick engine that just calculates Win/Draw/Loss for matches in a competition & then assigns a scoreline. The default setting is for competitions that your club is competing in to use the full match engine while aside from a few exceptions for international competitions every other league & cup competition uses the quick match engine, the settings are found under the 'Detail Level' of the FM menu.
