Yeah good results, won the level 11 league and cup in first season I have secured promotion from level 10 in 2nd season and there is still 5 games left I noticed that the front line wasn't getting back or pressing very much, so that's why I have 2 attacking midfield roles, so they still get forward, but can help press the midfield area a bit more Edited January 25, 2021 by Big D Man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhMostyn Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Flexible Config for Logos & Cities Hopefully this might help those having issues getting the logos & cities to display - it's an Excel spreadsheet that will produce the details for the relevant team/competition/city config files based on the in-game values that people see. It can be found here and contains instructions on how to use it - basically it asks for the IDs seen in-game for one of the added teams & one of the added competitions, applies an offset value to the original config values & creates rows that are then used to allow revised config.xml files to be created which will replace the ones found in the original downloads. Note - you may need to do this step every time you create a new game - the IDs for the teams/comps created by Messi are allocated dynamically by FM21 at set-up so can change. Links back to the original downloads: Logos Cities - part1, part2 & part3 If you're still having issues after trying this, then drop me a message (rather than clog up this thread) and I'll try to help out .

Firstly for Clapton (5100221), they no longer play at the Old Spotted Dog, but groundshare with Athletic Newham at the Terence McMillan Stadium. Clapton Community (2000066525) now own the Old Spotted Dog, and will move back there for the start of the 21-22 season. They should probably be called "Clapton CFC" as a short name, and are also fan-owned. They should have a high attendance for their level - their record is 1,266 and they regularly get a few hundred. Their supporter profile should be low-affluence but likely a 20 for passion - they're a group of far-left ultras who started supporting the original Clapton in 2012 after becoming disillusioned with modern football, singing/jumping/drinking all game with flares and fireworks, but set up Clapton Community after a severe fall-out with the club's owner. As a result, I'd also have the two clubs set as fierce rivals. Thanks for sharing this, mate. I really like this true colours-kind of background. Decision made for my next lower league journey!

The first probably isn't too difficult to do, the second might be as the size of the files starts getting large when adding in the cities, which could be a problem for some & if anyone wants to use only part of a pack, then they'd have to either delete bits or comment out configs - I'll have a think about creating some kind of combined pack (with possibly stadiums added as well - I've started to collate exterior shots from Google Earth (not quite the same as found in the Megapack on another forum) of each stadium down to level 11 - it's around 1500 stadiums to do I think - and then I'll move on to interiors) but that will be a way off. Ideally I'd like to collate a master set of logos (outside of those found in the default DB), city and stadium pics for England and then just have a set of configs that can be used for the DB that has been chosen (i.e. one for Messi, one for Dan, one for BoyInGreen) - more a long term goal I think.

Maxie179 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Really nice work on this database. Just wanted to ask something as started a new game but a few teams in the Eastern Counties Premier Division don't seem to be involved in the Eastern Counties League Cup (screenshots) Wasn't sure if this was intentional or not. Sides are Brantham Athletic, Kirkley and Pakefield, Walsham-le-Willows and Whitton United; think there might be a few in sub-divisions too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillster84 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi. Great work on the edit Messi. Just checking this is not a glitch. I’ve just finished my first season and am flicking through the leagues. I’ve noticed that Farsley Celtic won the Northern Premier League Premier Division last season, but are still showing as in the league for the next year. Judging by the rules they should have been promoted to the conference North. Is there a likely reason for this? Or is it a glitch? I don’t want to invest in multiple seasons on this save if I can’t make it into the league 🙈. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillster84 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Looking at this a bit closer, it seems that Farsley actually finished bottom of the Conference North last season and were relegated. But are randomly showing as the current holders of Northern Premier League Premier Division instead of South Shields who actually won the league. Less of an issue, just a bit weird.

Seems if put the two logos packs together, some of the logos that are contained in the first pack would not show up (e.g. Isle of Man FC). I've checked the config.xml of the second pack - seems those logos which are overlapped with the first pack can't be displayed properly. I had to manually move and edit the config.xml to make it works. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel messi Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 *New update on 2nd post on 1st page* Some teams at Level 9 & 10 cant be relegated due to their reserve/B teams being at the Level below. Some teams were getting relegated after the 1st season and then playing in the same League as their reserve/B team so i have stopped teams getting relegated from Levels 9 to 10 if their reserve/B team play at that Level. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
