[International and Continental League of Nations.]

Sorry for digging this old thread up, but does this file still exist anywhere? I swear I used to play the Continental version of this database but I can't find it anywhere.

[Searching for an old custom database (FM13-17 range)]

It was an international database very similar to these FIFA Nations League databases I found here. Except all the nations (including the top ones) were organized by continent instead of by FIFA Ranking. Does this database exist or am I imagining things? I can't seem to find it anywhere I look.

Is it the league rules? International rules? Or the continental rules?

League rules. I was attempting to modify MLS rules.

[Cannot activate Advanced Rules]

I was attempting to switch over to Advanced Rules to try something, but this dialog box came up. When I hit Ok it takes me back to the Basic Rules section. It seems like it just affects this one file in particular. When I load up another file, it works perfectly fine. Has anyone experienced this issue?

 

[Young Player Draft Challenge/Experiment]

I'm mostly posting this to have it written down so I can come back to it when I have the time. This requires an in-game editor.

 

My idea is that every season reset day, all players that are exactly 18 years old in a given league (excluding foreign-based loanees) would be available to all clubs in a 2 or 3 round "draft" similar to American sports. The first picks in the draft would go the newly-promoted clubs (in England, the 1st pick would go to the promoted Playoff club, with 2 and 3 going to the 2nd and 1st placed clubs respectively). The remaining picks would go to the clubs in order of their position at the end of the previous season, with the worse clubs picking first, ending with the champion picking last. After the champion's pick, it cycles back around the team that picked first. 

 

All loans between clubs in the same division will be terminated before the draft begins. Any player on loan from a foreign-based team (ex. a player from a German club on loan to an English club) is ineligible for selection. The players that get picked will then be free-transferred via the editor to their new club. Any players that are not picked will remain at their current clubs.

 

So going off of the 2017-18 Premier League and EFL Championship, this would be the order of draft picks:

1. Fulham
2. Cardiff City
3. Wolverhampton
4. Southampton
5. Huddersfield
6. Brighton
7. Watford
8. West Ham
9. Bournemouth
10. Crystal Palace
11. Newcastle
12. Leicester
13. Everton
14. Burnley
15. Arsenal
16. Chelsea
17. Liverpool
18. Tottenham
19. Man United
20. Man City

 

The idea behind this is to, theoretically, boost the lower clubs with higher quality prospects. I limit myself to just two rounds because the talent just isn't there (IMO) to support a 3rd or more rounds. 

[Reserve squad not showing up in game]

I set up a league to have Reserves and U23s with the basic editor, but only the U23s show up. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
