fabioke Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm really doubting who to pick this year. A huge team like Salisbury/Hereford with options later on in the game or a newly promoted team to have a fun few years and a big challenge early on.

Sports Interactive need that information more than we do, please consider checking post #3. So that everyone is aware, we are still working extremely hard on this release. We are now at a point where we can start working on the Advanced Rules, and hopefully in a week or two we can start testing the file. Expect more updates over the holidays and more features to be 'featured' here and on our website. If you haven't been there yet, click on the FMUpdates logo on our opening posts and it'll take you there. We hope you like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOUNGSTEVE Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Are you having similar issues as other lower league databases regarding excessive reputation gains, ticket/season prices not taking effect & using AI ones, players signing for far lower reputation clubs/levels even if on amateur contracts etc. These & other things seem to effect the realism on lower league databases as it stands. Forgot to add managers not being appointed to lower level clubs, & keep signing ones at higher level clubs. Many of these clubs remain managerless for years.

Seems a bit strange that it hasn't been tested yet, as when I do any modding or editing I test it as I go along to see what sort of problems there are. That's not easy when you have 5 people working on the release, and around 50 separate files. We're not yet at the stage where we can test, mainly because we're inputting quite a lot of data - more than we've ever put in. Just for a reference of scale all of our files currently add up to an XML file with over 3.2 million lines and a size of 223MB with a total of 155,472 database changes. We're not quite done yet, there's a lot that goes into this file - including original fixtures for an additional 21 leagues. Those figures are completely unprecedented for any file out there for England Level 9. As it can take about 30 minutes to build the files together, at this stage it's simply not feasible to test the file given that we're not finished. Once we've got the competition rules set up we will start testing the file. We are also planning updates once released (other than necessary bug fixes) with added content.

I've never downloaded your databases from any previous versions of football manager, I'm so looking forward to this as I love playing as a lower league club and trying to take up through the pyramid. My hat go off to you and others working on this database. As it's a lot of work for you to do to update the data as some data is hard find. Plus you most have a lot of patience to do this, because I would have given up by now. I used to have a lot of patience and do my own database with lower leagues & update the data, but nowadays I haven't got patience to do this, so I wait someone like yourself who has the patience to do this.

magicmastermind124 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Recently I've been working on the FA Vase system for EEE. The FA Vase has been the main stumbling block as it has a qualification system that gives byes to clubs for the following season. The only workaround is to have as many versions of the FA Vase as there are possible Qualification numbers. The other issue is that once you are promoted to Level 8, you no longer enter the FA Vase. Previously there was no way to omit these teams, but this should now be possible. I am therefore hopeful that we can get the FA Vase working correctly. We currently have 406 different Advanced Rules versions of the FA Vase set up so that the game can identify how many teams to give byes to at the First and Second Round of the cup, and each version has a slightly different number of teams entering up to the Second Round. We've also got a separate version for this seasons FA Vase that is necessary not only to place the correct teams but also to make changes to the other versions that we have developed. Hopefully this insight into how much focus we place on the rules and systems of competitions shows our dedication to bringing you the ultimate Football Manager experience.

But you guys know what you're doing, and you do a great job so good luck with it I'm waiting eagerly! I am also personally nonplussed about real fixture lists for the same reason that they only affect the first season and are truly cosmetic, although a nice cosmetic addition nonetheless. But you should see the speed GaZ does them, he has really got the technique down to a fine art! It will be worth the wait. The team have done a tremendous job on their previous releases. We actually feel that this release is going to an improvement on what came before, not just the obvious benefits of level 9 but in general playing a English based save with our file.. but thankyou for your continuing confidence & patience in us.

magicmastermind124 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 We're at the stage where the file is able to be tested. While there's still a little way to go, this is a big milestone for us. The file at release may not have everything we would like to include as there is so much that needs to be added. Rest assured that after the initial release there will be subsequent releases. The next job will be the implementation of Level 9, the FA Vase and all of the Lower League and County Cups. On another note, we've implemented the correct Income Tax levels for the UK. Because, you know, it's important that lower league players have a bigger personal Income Tax allowance!

I would just add that while we do not add any players/non players to the db ourselves. Teams playing in levels 7 & 8 will generally still have a good starting group of real players, some of them such as the the teams I help out SI with will have complete squads and more! Level 9 is a bit more patchy, but please do not think there are empty squads all the way through the leagues EEE focuses on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather were relegated from the now defunct Midland Alliance a few seasons ago. So they are level 10 now. Bardon Hill were promoted from the EMCL last season though, so are another local shout. Also, don't get your steps & levels mixed up; 'level' is for the whole english league system (PL is Level 1 etc). Meanwhile 'step' is for the National League System (NLS) starting with National League as Step 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
