A full rework of the Belgian Lower League Pyramid, containing all teams and B-teams, all competitions in the Belgian Pyramid (up to level 9 (4th provincial), including regional cups and youth leagues) with a dynamic and regional relegation and promotion system which has been streamlined and simplified, the complete Belgian Cup/Croky Cup starting from the first round, awards for all competitions, new media sources, new names for newgens, all places in Belgium and data updates to Belgium in general for more accuracy.

Steam-link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2939347447 (an XML-file is no longer needed!)

Instructions for SETUP:

  • Put the file in this folder if you download manually (on windows): My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2022> editor data
  • Use advanced setup when starting the save, make sure you have the file checked for loading.
  • In the advanced setup, check 'add players to playable teams' to fill the new lower league teams.
  • The game MUST be played with the lowest possible Belgian Division (Vierde Provinciale/Quatrième Provinciale (BEL)) playable for everything to work properly.
  • It is advised to edit the 'loaded' players (dropdown under 'Approximate Player Count' ==> 'Advanced') and add all categories of Belgian Players.
  • The game will need some time to generate players for the lower league teams, after which you can play the game normally.
  • Works great with Zealands NewGAN Facepack!

Rules in this file

The highest three division levels are more or less like in real life. Below that level, teams play two rounds (home and away) and the champion at the end is promoted. Only on the fifth level (3rd division), two of four divisions have two promoted teams instead. The system is set up as such that teams will be grouped by region automatically each season, the system will also relegate more or less teams per region depending on the number of teams from that region that are relegated from the divisions above. This means that the number of teams relegated from each division can fluctuate, all teams in the relegation zone are thus at risk of relegation. Each province has a regional cup, teams that get far enough in these regional cups, qualify for the national cup (Croky Cup) in the next season.

As of now, the composition of the lower provincial levels is dynamic, when setting up the game for the first time, different teams will play in series A, B, C… of the same province every time.

Sometimes B-teams get force-relegated as their A-team is relegated from a level above. In some scenario’s the dynamic relegation does not account for this properly. To compensate for this, an extra team from the same province from the level below will be added to the division, to keep everything stable and in working order.


KNOWN ISSUES:

* INSERTFIRST/SECOND as a name for newgens ==> use a nickname if you encounter this issue

* INSERTFIRST/SECOND as a name for social media users in-game ==> no known fix

Contact me if you encounter any other issues!

Uma reformulação completa da Pirâmide da Liga Inferior da Bélgica, contendo todas as equipes e equipes B, todas as competições da Pirâmide da Bélgica (até o nível 9 (4º provincial), incluindo copas regionais e ligas juvenis) com um sistema dinâmico e regional de rebaixamento e promoção que foi otimizado e simplificado, a Copa da Bélgica/Croky Cup completa começando na primeira rodada, prêmios para todas as competições, novas fontes de mídia, novos nomes para newgens, todos os lugares na Bélgica e atualizações de dados para a Bélgica em geral para maior precisão.

Steam-link:  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2939347447  (um arquivo XML não é mais necessário!)

Instruções para CONFIGURAÇÃO:

  • Use a configuração avançada ao iniciar o salvamento, verifique se o arquivo foi verificado para carregamento.
  • Na configuração avançada, marque 'adicionar jogadores a times jogáveis' para preencher os novos times da liga inferior.
  • O jogo DEVE ser jogado com a menor divisão belga possível (Vierde Provinciale/Quatrième Provinciale (BEL)) jogável para que tudo funcione corretamente.
  • É aconselhável editar os jogadores 'carregados' (menu suspenso em 'Contagem aproximada de jogadores' ==> 'Avançado') e adicionar todas as categorias de jogadores belgas.
  • O jogo levará algum tempo para gerar jogadores para os times da liga inferior, após o qual você poderá jogar normalmente.
  • Funciona muito bem com o NewGAN Facepack da Zelândia!

Regras neste arquivo

Os três níveis de divisão mais altos são mais ou menos como na vida real. Abaixo desse nível, os times jogam duas rodadas (em casa e fora) e o campeão ao final é promovido. Apenas no quinto nível (3ª divisão), duas das quatro divisões têm duas equipes promovidas. O sistema é configurado de forma que os times serão agrupados por região automaticamente a cada temporada, o sistema também irá rebaixar mais ou menos times por região dependendo do número de times daquela região que são rebaixados das divisões acima. Isso significa que o número de times rebaixados de cada divisão pode flutuar, portanto, todos os times na zona de rebaixamento correm o risco de rebaixamento. Cada província tem uma copa regional, times que chegam longe o suficiente nessas copas regionais, se classificam para a copa nacional (Croky Cup) na próxima temporada.

A partir de agora, a composição dos níveis provinciais inferiores é dinâmica, ao configurar o jogo pela primeira vez, equipes diferentes jogarão nas séries A, B, C… da mesma província todas as vezes.

Às vezes, os times B são rebaixados à força, pois seu time A é rebaixado de um nível acima. Em alguns cenários, o rebaixamento dinâmico não leva em conta isso adequadamente. Para compensar isso, uma equipe extra da mesma província do nível inferior será adicionada à divisão, para manter tudo estável e funcionando.


PROBLEMAS CONHECIDOS:

* INSERTFIRST/SECOND como um nome para newgens ==> use um apelido se você encontrar este problema

* INSERTFIRST/SECOND como um nome para usuários de mídia social no jogo ==> nenhuma correção conhecida

Contacte-me se você encontrar quaisquer outros problemas!

How far away should the one for FM23 be? Just curious

I'm taking a break this week, after which I will start updating the data and rules. I can't really put a date on it, it depends on how much time I have to work on it. Data updates are mostly a quantity-thing, it's not difficult (as was getting the FM22-version working), it's just a lot.

Just keep an eye on this thread, I'll post here once I finish the update. (and why not give the old version a spin in the mean time ;) )

All good, there's no rush

PC Gamepass

That should work, just put the file (in the top post) here: My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2022> editor data

I think the folderstructure should be the same as the steam or epic-versions.
