Thanks @NeilUK I'll have a look and run some tests on both of those. I'd left the Glazers in as I wanted it to be realistic and just given them all retirement dates of a couple of years, but wasn't aware of the effect of confidence. Appreciate the reply, thank you.

I've tried to add Jim Ratcliffe to Manchester Untied, but no matter what I try, the owner changes in October 2024. I've tried stopping outside takeovers, but that just removes him for an internal promotion.
I'm guessing it's hardcoded, which is annoying, but does anyone have a way to stop this happening?
Thanks in advance.

As it says in the title, this is a working file to Step 8, featuring expanded FA Cup, Trophy and Vase, correct prize monies, and most (not quite all) Senior Cups, with histories as accurate as I could get them. There are one or two slight tweaks to real life to make it playable. Some teams from lower down the order will appear that wouldn't normally in the competition, but I wanted to give them a bit more depth. I've added the league cups for Northern, Southern and Isthmian leagues, even though it doesn't look like they're being run this year in real life. In Senior Cups, teams in Prem and Championship will send their U18s, and U21s for Leagues One and Two. This will change with promotion and relegation.
Final thing to note, I released Ronaldo from United, mainly to see what would happen.
Do let me know if you find any game breaking bugs. I've simmed it for nine years and it seems to be okay. Every now and then you get the odd allocation that you wouldn't want to see, but it's nigh on impossible to stop that happening it seems.

@lionel messinot sure if you're going for realism or not particularly fussed, but it appears that the Southern League aren't doing a league cup this year. Just wanted to point it out in case it saves you doing it! Looking forward to this,

Obviously press conferences are something that hasn't changed greatly in a number of years, so was wondering if it would be possible for players to select a number of topics that they wish to bring up in their conferences as opposed to just answering questions.
For example, before entering the press conference you could be given a number of options, including - Opponents Tactical Style, Opposition Players, Your Players, Opponent Form, Rival Clubs, League Gossip, Transfer News and so on.
Within each of those would be further sub-options, so for example under tactical, you could choose to Praise, Question, Analyse, Criticise, the idea being that if you're going into a game with a team that have a certain setup or style, your picking up on it may allow you to unsettle the opponents into changing tactically if their manager has a low mind games rating etc.
Opposition players could have similar options. You could discuss their recent form, any preferred moves that they have. You could praise them, or undermine them. If they're a recent signing you could question how quickly they will fit into the tactical plan, you could even question whether or not they're suited to the style of play of the manager.
With your own players, you could talk about the recent form of players that have either been underperforming, if you want to give them a lift or explain an absence (obviously that could have negative impacts) and if they're in a rich run of form, you could talk about how instrumental they've been of late.
Rival clubs you could comment on their upcoming fixtures if you want to put pressure on them, or you could try and target a team and talk about them on a weekly basis in an effort to build a feud and drive the dynamic rivalry rating between the two clubs. Whilst this is not too disimilar to what happens in game already, allowing the player to set the narrative creates more immersion and allows them to drive the game in the direction they want.
Transfers would be an opportunity for you to talk about new faces in the league, maybe in an effort to put pressure on your board to free up more transfer funds when a rival has signed someone and you want to keep pace. This would be a more public facing way of making a board request, or diverting pressure from yourself if your team are struggling, but of course would run the risk of antagonising your board and damaging that relationship. Conversely, you could praise your board for not spending silly money if another team has just broken a transfer record.
I know these are outline ideas, but I think the basic notion of giving the player the opportunity to control the narrative prior to press conferences would give that added layer of immersion and make them feel more relevant and less of a chore.

Would love to see a few more kit templates available in game, especially for us ARs. My team's new a way kit is based on this...
Obviously we've no template that has that many diagonal stripes/sashes, so it's a bit hard to accurately represent that in game. it's not exactly a rare kit design either, so would be a really useful addition to the templates.
Thanks

Have noticed that when a free-kick is awarded inside a teams own six yard box, it's taken from the spot of the offence. I'm pretty sure (unless rules have changed since I used to ref) that a free-kick inside the defensive six yard box can be taken from anywhere within that box. Might of course just be a pain to implement with the AI, I don't know but thought I would mention it.

There have been examples of clubs at this level turning professional, we did it, shambles that it was.
As for Oxford City, they're a club who have risen to this level for the first time in the last decade or so. I don't know if they've any rich benefactors in real life, but they seem to be having a decent year this year, so who knows what they might be planning. I think what I'm trying to say is, that it's not completely preposterous.

There was a really good post in the other requests forum (can’t find it!) that went into some depth on how this could be done. It’s without a doubt my most wanted feature.

Good thought, I'll have a look. Thanks

Whenever I try to test the rules on an advanced db with geographical draw set in the draw rules, I get a crash dump (have attached the latest dmp. and the save.)
Have tested the db with and without those rules and it's definitely them that's causing the crash, which is annoying, because I would love to use them.

Yup, just uploaded it for you. Couple of weeks prior, not sure if it's early enough for you, but hope it helps.

Summary: Got a player who wants out, so I promise to do all I can to sell him. I offer him to clubs and no-one makes an offer. I make another attempt, lowering the asking price, but again no-one comes in.
Description of Issue: The player requests a meeting to moan that I didn't sell him. I get that the player would be frustrated, that's fine, but in my options in talking to him, I don't have any option to say that I did make an attempt to sell him, (twice!) and no-one wanted him. I just get options saying that I didn't offer him out, which isn't the case.

Really impressed. Looks great, plays great, and the immersion is already far better, especially in regards to transfers and press conferences. They might be small changes, but that shift has brought the player into the room so to speak.
Only done one game in match engine, but I've been really impressed by what I've seen. Couple of cute little passes between defenders, players working to retain the ball in the centre of the pitch, it just feels like a football game.
