Dutch Guy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm using this update with the 13.3.0 patch and database, but I noticed Belgian U-19 coach Sandy Martens is the Reserve Team Manager at every MLS team? But when I click on him he's U-19 coach at AA Gent, like he is in real life. Anyone else noticed this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the 2013 season, four MLS teams will affiliate with USL Pro teams in lieu of participating in the MLS Reserve League system. These MLS clubs will loan at least four of their reserve players to their USL Pro affiliate club for development purposes. All USL Pro teams will play two matches each with the remaining MLS Reserve League teams. Those matches will count toward USL Pro standings, giving each team a total of 26 games.[3] The following teams will affiliate: Sporting Kansas City — Orlando City Soccer Club New England Revolution — Rochester Rhinos D.C. United — Richmond Kickers Philadelphia Union — Harrisburg City Islanders USL Pro teams will play MLS Reserve teams as listed below. Except for Antigua Barracuda FC (who will play two MLS reserve teams on the road), each set will be a home-and-away arrangement. Antigua Barracuda FC — FC Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes Charleston Battery — Houston Dynamo Charlotte Eagles — Chicago Fire Dayton Dutch Lions — Columbus Crew Harrisburg City Islanders — Colorado Rapids Los Angeles Blues — Los Angeles Galaxy Orlando City — Seattle Sounders FC Pittsburgh Riverhounds — Toronto FC Phoenix FC — Real Salt Lake Richmond Kickers — Vancouver Whitecaps FC Rochester Rhinos — Montreal Impact VSI Tampa Bay FC — Portland Timbers Wilmington Hammerheads — New York Red Bulls http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/690369.html have you added this paul in your update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulgerty Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I seem to have solved the problem with the US Open Cup. Because of the way I've coded the PDL to ensure only US teams qualify for the cup, I just realized at the last minute that if somebody wasn't loading the PDL and NPSL in their saves, then the US Open Cup would be wrong as it wouldn't have enough teams. It would appear that I've done it now so that it wouldn't make a difference which leagues someone was loading, but I'll do one more long test for overkill just to be sure.

Heath Matthias Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh, no worries Paul, was not a criticism of your setup at all which is accurate. I just see the college and some of the lower league as being active mainly for player feeding, probably not too much fun to manage in. The actual setup is accurate and great!

Thanks for the feedback, as I say even PDL and NPSL seasons are too short in games for me. New NASL format looks interesting with two split season winners meeting for final. Means the winner of the comp will have too work hard to get into SoccerBowl, while sometimes with 8 teams in a playoff a team with a mediocre league season can win the playoffs.

Can't say yet depends how much I do but next release will most likely be the final version. So far only major difference to game code is the MLS Reserve league for 2013 and removing reserve teams for Philadelphia Union, SKC, DC United and New England. Other changes are updating stadiums, team colours and I've begun updating some transfers for MLS, NASL and USL Pro. I won't attempt any player changes below this.

Bobhasdowns Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Running into a big issue with the Cosmos. Initial budget seems to be set to 400K a year, which may be in-line with other NASL clubs but is obviously far below what the actual Cosmos will be operating with. They've already signed a few players away from MLS clubs (Hunter Freeman most notably) and I know they're on far more than 48K/year. I did a couple transfers to bring in some money to the club to try and more accurately replicate their budget. I've got a 3 million dollar annual payroll budget after the transfers, still can't offer over 52K/year. At this stage I can't even compete with other NASL clubs, let alone MLS for players, makes the campaign near unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobhasdowns Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 They do have Saudi backers with $$$. They might do with having a sugar daddy. Possibly, but they will definitely be on significantly more than 400K a year. I'm not sure if this maximum salary is something on the backend or an issue with the initial budget being set so low.

Any info on TV money, prize money, loans etc would be great to get. I'd say starting with something comparable to an MLS budget (2.7ish range) given their ambitions, would be a good start. TV money is way up in the air. Their roster is still pretty light but they've made some signings that would break the 400K/year budget. Hunter Freeman was on 105,000 last season in MLS and was lured away from NE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Stars had the lowest payroll in the league when they won at 1.2 million. USL Pro is trickier and varies bbut is usually in the 500K-1.1 million range, with a club with Orlando City being higher.

In real life the PDL is essentially a semi-pro league. It gives college players the opportunity to play games without forfeiting their amateur status, which they must maintain in order to play college (NCAA) soccer. That's why in FM the MLS Superdraft has always drawn from the PDL. Impossible to replicate in this game, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
