YELLOW CIFC Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I don't think the game was supposed to go lower than level 8 possibly even level 7. Good win for Burgess Hill today, Dan. We started well with the wind in our favour but you looked the better side once you equalised. Second half, there was only one side in it. Nice set up at Burgess Hill. Cosy little clubhouse and a tidy compact ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam jameson Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I don't think we'll ever be able to have a playable lower leagues database for England unfortunately I made other checks, I have to agree with you...salisbury won the fa vase and doubled its rep...but the really strange thing is that quite all the absurd issues born in the Wessex premier League at level 9...have a look at the teams in the division, are full of great players, full of super wage budgets and produce every year a coouple of super teams that keep on Flying up the divisions without an apparent reason...moreover, i'm trying another save with the default database, playing with Gloucester with the same tactics and market strategies, and the outcome is completely different, i'm struggling (as expected) and i don't know whether i'd be able to achieve the targets...

KCJJ1988 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Even with the hardcode issues it's still riveting to manage right down the leagues and try to bring them up to the top., I'm playing down in Level 11 and it's fine even with the issues, to me it doesn't matter. Horses for Courses. I don't know if I'd get in trouble for saying this but do you think the FM franchise will ever include English Leagues down to Level 9 as straight away playable? Is their legal issues surrounding such a task? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses for Courses.I don't know if I'd get in trouble for saying this but do you think the FM franchise will ever include English Leagues down to Level 9 as straight away playable? Is their legal issues surrounding such a task? I don't think there's any licensing issue; it's a question of how popular it would be and having researchers that they have faith in. Maybe a critical number of files need to be downloaded from Steam Workshop and enough positive feedback given there. In principle, I don't see a future integration of Level 7 at least as impossible. For me personally, I'm not obsessed with verisimilitude; I just want a fun playable long-term LL save. So I'm okay with using FMRTE not to make my save easier but to make it harder to provide a proper challenge. I currently use it to make all my starting squad (which in this current save is restricted to just 24 - I won't transfer any in and therefore have to manage injury crises) start with CA1 and change all my youth intake to CA1. I'm monitoring JJ's observations to see what else I'll need to tweak for the second and subsequent seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that if you got promoted the league cups on lower levels wouldn't require all those precious resources. Maybe one day when SI will be have better optimization this will not be an issue anymore. Nonetheless, I always play one season as low as possible just for the fun of it before I turn to EEE. Vauxhall Motors seems like a superteam in level 11 but is currently not playable...

postman123 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 dan, i think once you get past the lower leagues and into the football leagues the game becomes one. It depends what people want to achieve on the game, personally my goal is the prem EVENTUALLY that could take months and then when you have done that we get the next fm and so on. At least all of us have not started with a massive club with all the trimmings, we are people who want a challenge not trophies every year.

I remember last year and someone starting at level 24 & working there way up to the premiership (I think) with consecutive promotions & little challenge, which he was pleased with. Sounded mind numbing boring to me & pointless, but I suppose each of us plays differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
