Jack Rudd Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 There's a rights issue with regard to the Japanese league, yes. Creating new leagues... well, it should be possible to reverse-engineer the game and find out how the existing leagues are created. (If people can create huge mods for the spaghetti coding that is The Sims 2, they can probably do it for any game.) Hmmm, maybe that's an idea. See if J.M.Pescado would be up to the task.

Daddy Yankee Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Si should add an editor so users can create their own leagues. IMO its something they should consider for FM10. I dont think they are going to add many more leagues to the game because of the lack of researchers or lack of sales in the target country not to mention the increased complexity of the game. look, you have got everiting for research, like every year. in FM are almost all Bosnian teams, you just need to put them in League. Is that so hard? how you think to have good sales in Bosnia without their league. www.fmbosnia.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmbosnia Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 sorry for my bad english hello,i from www.fmbosnia.com forum and every year we make and finish research of many clubs in our contry,we think you add our league in FM but you dont do this any time sure we have quality league and national team some of our clubs reach third round of european champions cup qualifing or UEFA cup,our nacional team every time is on top i there group i we can win any reprezentation in the world,probably we hope you will read this and get decision to make our league in FM specially thanks from bosnia www.fmbosnia.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan A Wadge Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If they decide to give us the maltese league i can be the head researcher and have a team of 10-20 men giving me the info. i also agree with that guy that said about the facility to create league. That way ppl can share them and I bet that within a week we would have everyother league in the world! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdiatmh Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I agree that the more realistic the better However, the game would need about 1TB RAM to run and about 60TB memory left This is not on my computer, and quite likely not on anyone elses either I believe that the England leagues are fine Although I would like some more African leagues (big nations only) A rich-teams leagues would also be nice Uzbekistan(linked with Eto'o), Saudi Arabia(playing Zarate in 08 without signing) etc I also believe that a league-creator in the Editor would be a great addition (FM10 maybe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo-Bongo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Being honest, I'd be disapointed to see more European leagues added ahead of African and Middle Eastern leagues, as Europe already has massive representation, whilst these regions have virtually nil, and some strong teams playing in them. I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to see leagues such as the Bosnian of Cyprian leagues inlcuded, but I just feel that FM needs to get a much more balanced representation of world football, and not one that mainly centres on the European game.

Daddy Yankee Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 adding non-european leagues is not connected with adding european. then can add european and african, asian.... at same time. i just tink that is unfair to not make leagues like cyprian, bosnian... whenm they have all teams. i cant understand that. because of that, people now must change other leagues to get leagues like bosnian, cyprian... it is easier to SI to add them. or at least make editor where is possible to add new league. thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(they have enough time to do this for FM09 ) In fairness to SI, if it were only one hour's work then I reckon we'd see a large number of extra leagues added year-on-year. I'm no coder, but I reckon you'll find it's more like a couple of days' work, plus research, per league. And by research I don't just mean player stats, but checking licensing issues, confirming the way that the leagues and cups work for unusual rules and for entrance requirements, maybe contacting the FA and clubs for certain information, etc etc. I'm sure if adding the leagues truly was easy then they'd be cramming them in.

Tiree_Don Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Rest of the lesser known European leagues in the Eastern bloc. These countries are great for scouting and picking up bargains when your not managing a 'big' team. Apart from that would love to see the scottish amatuer and lower leagues included in it. Would be great to take charge of my local teams Bonnybridge or Dunipace Juniors and see how far I could take them in the Junior ranks and scottish cups. Plus you could send youngsters there to toughen up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candre168 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 We've all seen how two Cypriot teams (Omonia and Anorthosis) have done fairly well in European competitions (Anorthosis Famagusta nearly qualifying for the knockout stages the better example, but Omonia nearly qualifying for the UEFA cup only to be beaten by Man City still a good example). So here's my question, why don't SI make the Cypriot League playable? Cypriot Football is growing, and Anorthosis will probably have another run in the Champions League next season, with Omonia, APOEL or someone else making a run in the UEFA Cup. If SI can put in random leagues like the Indian league and Singapore league, they might as well put in a league that is increasingly growing. I'd definitely love to manage one of the Cypriot teams myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
