Salary cap change

[uke2nv]

Simple question.

A-League salary cap.

I want to increase it and/or remove it.

Possible?

If so, how?

I have had a look in the advanced rules and cant see it ...may be hardcoded, but take a look thought it would be under COMPETITION, but can find everything else to do with money bar this

if you dont know how to acces advanced rules.......(this is an example how to change things)

It is not too difficult to do. Firstly, you will need to add nation rules,

select the nation you want (for example England), and select the option 'add

lower divisions and cups to existing structure'. Next, you need to switch to

advanced rules. You do this by going to the Rules menu and selection 'Convert to

advanced rules.'....Now this will give you a heck of a lot of things under

the Advanced Rules panel, but there is only one thing that is of interest to

you, so we can ignore almost everything. What is important is the tab called

'England' (or whatever nation you select). If you click on the '+' next to the

nation this will bring up a new list full of options. You will be interested in

'Fixture Rules', which again will have a '+' next to it. If we click on this +,

we will be able to see all the different rule groups that are used in England.

There will typically be one for every competition which has different rules. In

the case of England there are 21 different rule groups. ...... What we need to

do first is find which rule group we need to change! This is easy to do. If you

select the competition you want to edit on the lower left hand list, you will

see a series of options appear. Clicking on the 'Competition' tab will bring up

basic information about this competition. If you scroll down the main panel

until you see the 'Fixture Rules Index' tab (which is just under the 'Date

Range' box. This tells you the number of the rule group this competition uses.

In the case of the premier league it is 6. We can now edit the correct set of

rules without changing anything else...... Going back to the fixture rules

tab, we can select 'Rules 6', which tells us all of the information about the

squad selection rules for the premier league. You will see that they are the

ones you are familiar with in game. There are several options here, and you can

explore the rest if you want, but for your 6+5 idea you want to go to the 'Squad

Selection Rules' box at the very bottom of the main panel. There are already 2

options in here, about squad size and number of homegrown players. If you click

'add' you will create a new rule. Selecting the box on the left hand side, you

get a menu to select what rules you want. You want to select 'first 11 rules

-> foreign players in first 11'. You can then select 5 in the 'value' box,

and make sure the criterion is 'less than'. You have changed the rules....

Because you have used the advanced rules, after you save you must verify that

your file is okay. This is not hard, but can take 5-10 minutes. Save the file,

and then from the Rules manu, select 'Test Rules' and then 'All'. This will run

a simulation to ensure nothing crashes and everything works. After this, you

should be able to use the file. Repeat as required for whichever league you

want

Okay, those instructions were pretty good. I added the changes i wanted, however when I started a new game, the rules stayed the same?

[Roy Race 9]

I would report in the bugs forum.....it will join an ever increasing list but they might just address it in FM15

[uke2nv]

But surely there is a way that this is much easier than I am making it?

BTW as you know I was editing A-League...13 league rules came up but when i would click into them nothing was there...
