I am now in season 4 so I am going to summarise the previous seasons to give a picture of the game and its history so far. Once I am up to date a more detailed season development will begin. To keep things simple I am only going to have one transfer page per season which I will update as negotiations develop. I will also do a pre season summary for the forth coming season. I will have 8 game match reports again updated as games happen this will reduce posts and keep a season to 8ish Individual match posts. I will then do a final summary to conclude each season. I will also do a comprehensive history post for all country competitions i.e champions, cup winners etc and this will be one post updated and linked so easlily accessed.

45 games? Should only be 36 surely?

[Lenzar]

So by my reckoning there is also a half team in the league.

[RichG]

lol

I have re-structured the league.

In Div 1-2-3 and non league you play each team 3 times (45 games). Prem is h/a then split with 14 more games h/a with 8 teams in each half of the split (44 games)

Each division has 16 teams now in Prem,1,2,3, Senior,Junior and Amateur leagues in a 7 tier format.

I will be doing a final update for anyone who wants the new league format with all leagues doing the same as the scotts prem (44 games). But as I intend spending most of my time in the scotts prem i did not bother to much about the lower leagues for my game

Fiddling about with the editor unrealistically loses my interest I'm afraid. Each to their own though, hope you enjoy your save.

[RichG]

Its only minor changes. Same format just a few more teams in each league and allowing non league teams promotion. Not to unrealistic, no one has been given £100m or 50,000 stadiums or superstar players. I was going to take on a non league team but got offered the QoS job first. If feedback is bad due to editor usage I will start again with the standard format to show I have not cheated.

Other players have used the editor though to open up level 10/11 in England and do euro leagues for Career stories so I hope i am not going to be shot down for this post.

THREAD CLOSED

Following Nobby McDonald's comments I am closing this thread. Having thought hard about the comeback of playing an edited game and posting the success, I do not feel I would be able to fully convince you guys it is genuine success. I will re-start a new game tonight and play with 10.3 Database only. With one acception. I need full team names.

I hate R. Madrid it should be Real Madrid etc.

Please do not delete this post sigames as i need the formatting and layout for my new thread
