Digijustin Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Have you ever wanted to play Football Manager in the United States but don’t because of the weirdly difficult MLS rules? Have you ever wanted to play one of the hundreds of non-MLS clubs in the US but couldn’t because they aren’t in the game? Well, wait no more. I have released my FM21 database that turns the United States into a football pyramid that mimics most of the European league systems. I have created a 10 tier, promotion/relegation pyramid that gives the United States some fun teams to play within a pyramid system. United States Premier League (20 teams) 0 promoted 3 Relegated United States Championship (24 teams) 2 + 1(4 teams) Promoted 3 Relegated United States League One (24 teams) 2 + 1(4 teams) Promoted 4 Relegated United States League Two (24 teams) 3 + 1(6 teams) Promoted 2 Relegated United States National League Premier (24 teams) 1 + 1(6 teams) Promoted 3 Relegated United States National League Division One (22 teams) 2 + 1(6 teams) Promoted 3 Relegated United States National League Division Two (22 teams) 2 + 1(6 teams) Promoted 5 Relegated United States Lower Leagues (Regionalized) 1(8 teams) Promoted via Playoffs Northern Premier League (22 teams) 1 Promoted 4 Relegated Central Premier League (22 teams) 1 Promoted 4 Relegated Southern Premier League (22 teams) 1 Promoted 4 Relegated Western Premier League (22 teams) 1 Promoted 4 Relegated National Lower Leagues (Regionalized) 4(18 teams) Promoted via Playoffs Atlantic National League (22 teams) 2 Promoted 0 Relegated Central National League (22 teams) 2 Promoted 0 Relegated Mountain National League (22 teams) 2 Promoted 0 Relegated Pacific National League (22 teams) 2 Promoted 0 Relegated Southern National League (22 teams) 2 Promoted 0 Relegated Valley National League (22 teams) 2 Promoted 0 Relegated Regional Leagues (Regionalized) 6(24 teams) Promoted via Playoffs Atlantic League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated California League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Eastern League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Florida State League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Mid-Atlantic League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Midwest League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Northwestern League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Pan Handle League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Southern California League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Southern League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Southwestern League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated Texas League (22 - 24 teams) 1 Promoted 0 Relegated There are also 4 cup tournaments: Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (USA FA Cup equivalent) Open to all teams in FAUnited States League Cup Open to all teams in USA Football League (US League Two and up)United States National Cup Open to all teams outside of USA Football League (Under US League Two to US National League Division Two)United States FA Vase Open to all teams in Tiers 8 through 10 The leagues all start around August 2020 and run to around June 2021 in the first season. I also had to remove and re-create Inter Miami and Nashville SC as they were both hardcoded to use MLS in the first season. If they weren’t recreated then they would have both been unplayable to start the game. ***NOTE: It is recommended that you select “Add players to playable teams” from the Advanced Options box when selecting your leagues.*** TIER 9 - https://www.mediafire.com/file/b9nyrunh37htdps/FMDigi-USA-ProRel-9TiersV1_0.fmf/file NEW TIER 10 - https://www.mediafire.com/file/6hff5grwg2o6rwu/FMDigi-USA-ProRel-10TiersV2_0.fmf/file *** UPDATE FOR 21.4 PATCH *** TIER 10 - https://www.mediafire.com/file/3d9k6mlj5tkb0np/FMDigi-USA-ProRel-10TiersV2_2.fmf/file ***UPDATE FOR 21.3 PATCH*** TIER 9 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/6emlfx8zqtnu7ks/FMDigi-USA-ProRel-9TiersV1_1.fmf/file TIER 10 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/vesw7dscbfutbqt/FMDigi-USA-ProRel-10TiersV2_1.fmf/file CUSTOM LEAGUE LOGO PACKS TIER 9 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/rmbmj8x17wx76ii/USFLLogos_Tier9_21_3.zip/file TIER 10 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/0j06v71u0eziwwg/USFLLogos_Tier10_21_3.zip/file Edited March 18, 2021 by Digijustin Updated for 21.4 Patch 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostyBear Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Looks great! Loved your db from last year so I'm looking forward to this one. Did you get the youth intake bug solved for this year? also do the top teams get into the CCL? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know what the intake issue was last year but I revamped it in FM20 and fixed it then. Haven't had any issues with this version and intakes and in my personal save, I'm getting my usual crappy intakes as always. LOL Yes top teams do get into CONCACAF CL and I actually have a expanded DB for that as well if you're interested. Expands from 16 teams to 96 covering all the NA nations. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2406143042 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaseyJFT96 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Loving this database so far! Will the file work with the newest patch from a few days ago? I'm fairly new to FM and I'm unsure how update compatibility works. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly new to FM and I'm unsure how update compatibility works. Thanks! That's so cool to hear. It will work for any existing saves but for a new save, you'll need a new file. I'll be adding those links here shortly or you can find me on Steam and get them there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorjjeron Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Your databse is incredible! Only issue I have is that I want to do a save with local team, Queensboro FC and they're not in the database since we only start in the USL Championship in 2022. Would it be possible for you to add them and some of the other incoming teams in? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's only using teams that were already in the game's database and none were added. At this time I don't have the bandwidth to do any custom things but you could take an existing team and swap them out using the editor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oltrazon Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Looks like a pretty good database. I’ve always wondered what promotion and relegation would be like in the US. The only problem I’ve noticed is that it’s hard to recruit people in the lower leagues. (Yes, I did turn on add players to playable teams) I recently started a save where my club is in either the US Lower Leagues or the National Lower Leagues. There are players on my team, but not enough depth in every position so I tried to recruit some players. When i try to recruit, there’s only like 8-10 players actually interested in joining my team. Is there anything to solve this/anything I’m doing wrong? Edited April 6, 2021 by Oltrazon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything to solve this/anything I’m doing wrong? I find that offering trials to everyone I can is the best way. In my save on YT, that's the best way for me to get players. I haven't heard about this issue yet but I'd recommend lots of trialists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
