Reminds me a bit of CM 03-04. More than a bit actually.

Definitely New Zealand (at least we can have a league from Oceania), Brazilian Série D (would make any team from any state championship playable from the start), American USL (would add depth to MLS and make B teams play in a real league), Egypt and Qatar (no market for the game in middle-east?).
Oh and the Canadian Premier league when it kicks off!

thanks claassen, I was not aware of that! Great work as usual.

OFC champions league doesn't seem to work, every year it says 'games will be scheduled' the following year and no games are actually scheduled or played.

Top work, starting a new save right now!

Interesting... all teams could sign 2 or 3 international players... it's possible?
I have no idea. I'm absolutely useless with the editor and it's likely an absurd suggestion, but for someone who had the skills to build such a complex league structure plus all teams and logos maybe it can be possible!

Ace stuff @samba23, fans of college sports will find this DB absolutely stunning though I'd recommend anyone to give this a go especially fans of youth only saves.
A possible feature/request for future updates (maybe FM19!): while I don't follow much college soccer, checking real teams rosters I've noticed they tend to have a few foreign players from Africa, Europe or South America. I was wondering maybe there could be a way to simulate these scholarships for foreign players? Like allowing 1-2 transfers from abroad per season only for under-19 players, not sure if it would be possible with the editor or if you feel it would go against the spirit of this DB!
Amazing work anyway, can't wait to play next update - leaning towards UCLA this time!

Glad you're finding it ok. The large squads is actually deliberate on my part as College Football teams have 85 scholarship players (and plus walk-ons regularly exceeds 100 player rosters) so I have my chairman and DoF's tendencies to "have large squad = 20" though I'm not exactly sure how much impact this actually has in practice.
I think it's particularly overwhelming when you first start because you don't know any of the names but it gets easier as you get more familiar with the squad and who your good players are.
I can look into adding a reserve team to all clubs as a "practice squad/scout team" but I have no plans to add a reserve league as real-life College Football does not have a reserve league, so the reserve team would just be a dumping ground for the worst players.
Yeah I think having reserve squads (even with no reserve league) could be useful as first team screen tends to become a bit problematic with more than 30-35 players, so maybe this could be something for future releases. Also I noticed that every year we get an automatic full youth intake (15-16 players) i.e. no option to sign or release the youth candidates, while apparently other teams sign only 5-6 every year (probably the best prospects of their intake). Not a big deal really as terminating contracts of youth players isn't expensive at all especially for these super rich schools!
A couple of minor issues I have noticed: apparently teams below division I-A (including my BYU team) don't assign shirt numbers for the season; also several teams have not chosen their seasonal best eleven at the end of first season (not sure if this happens in future seasons too).
Very minor stuff really, all the teams with their data, logos, plus league structure and the various tournaments are a thing of beauty.

Took over BYU after just one year of holiday, having a blast trying to win promotion from MWC. First choice eleven is actually pretty decent though back-up players are garbage at this point (as expected as of 2018). I have a very good group of strikers for this level, this guy has been on fire in non-conference games hopefully he can lead us to Pac 12!

Everything seems to work fine and those logos are fantastic! Thanks for this, as a college basketball fan I absolutely love this DB

It's looking more amazing every day, can't wait to start a game with BYU (Jimmer fan!)
What's the maximum number of games for a team in a season if you win every competition?
Hopefully you can find a way to make teams keep their best players as that would be a key in a youth only save. Tremendous job so far!

Looks amazing, was wondering how will transfers and signings work in this college scenario? Btw this got me thinking of the old College Hoops game by 2K where you'd recruit players from high school and then lose them to the NBA draft, would be absolutely epic to have an NCAA/FM game like that!

@igorferreira118 for some reason i can't extract the files. If you have Brazil league with realistic Série D included could you please just upload it here as a single file? Thanks for the effort anyway!

Here's my feedback i.e. bugs that have been in this game since release day and have not been fixed as of 18.3.3:
- Players and managers face/race change from time to time
- Players race/skin color in profile picture is often different in ME
- One player standing in the middle of the pitch between highlights (often after a substitution)
- No pitch size choice in any of the three Brazilian saves I've played.
- Wellington Phoenix can't offer youth contracts to their youth candidates
- Reserve and Youth managers not arranging friendlies in my Brazil saves
- Umarked/unmarkable man on the edge of the box on opposition free kicks
Patch 18.3 has also somehow removed the vital 'Selection details' bar on players attributes screen (I imagine it's related to my resolution but it wasn't an issue on previous patches) which is particularly frustrating. Considering the limited changes in ME since release I would have expected more improvements to other areas of the games (namely UI, scouting and regens faces which I found all quite disappointing this year). Instead I'm stuck with a number of old and new bugs after final patch. As for ME, despite some obvious issues I found it enjoyable until 18.2/18.3, which was really the same as 18.1 except for a much stronger tendency to play high balls to far post regardless of instructions (yeah I hate far post). After years of disappointment it will really take something special to make me buy the next game of this series, I'll most likely play the demo and see if it's worth to buy the game on march 2019 after patch 19.3. Might be finally ready to free myself from the FM addiction, be strong kandersson!

Thank you for this, looks amazing!

Ok after 18.3.2 this is still an issue, this is incredibly annoying and disappointing as this was working before patch 18.3. This is pretty much game breaking for me and while I do appreciate the help and possible workaround given by a moderator in the skinning forum I'm not really thrilled to spend hours (it would be hours for someone with no editing skills or experience like me) to learn how to fix something that's supposed to be working and was actually working before 18.3. Please SI provide a fix or a solution, a minimum resolution for this game was never announced, I've had a number of unannounced issues and limitations (all reported since beta) with my 1360 x 768 resolution, which was already disappointing (as there were no hints or warnings) but this one is game breaking for me. FM 18 has been so frustrating for me it's actually become quite funny.

@herne79 thanks for a great read!
As for left WM (the 'inside forwardish' in this system) would you ideally go for a right footed player or a left footed one? I think at Dortmund you had great options for both with Reus/Pulisic and Yarmolenko but what's your ideal choice? I'm thinking left footed can maybe provide a bit more variety and behave both as winger and as IF?

Can I ask if you have tried to clear cache etc?
Yeah, no success. I did try to zoom out at 95% and the panel showed up so it appears to be related to resolution. I've had other issues in the past especially with tactics screen that is very limited on 1360x768 (not that this was ever announced before or after release) but this is pretty bad and was actually working well before 18.3.

Just a blank area.
I have the same issue and reported here. I don't know if you have the same resolution (1360x768) anyway they're saying is below the minimum for the game (never heard this) so they'll 'see what they can do'. Of course this was working before 18.3, so extremely annoying and disappointing.

Regens faces and hair still the same as release day. Disappointing.

@claassen if you're going to update after final patch I'd suggest to make a small change in USA leagues: currently in real life both NASL and USL are considered level 2 in USA pyramid (I'm not sure how it works in your leagues atm but it looks like NASL is second tier and USL third) though it seems NASL days are numbered (only six teams, delayed season, lawsuits) while USL is on the rise and has support of MLS and USSF. So my suggestion would be to set USL as second tier and NASL as third.
Well NASL has just been cancelled for 2018 https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/nasl-announces-cancellation-of-2018-season-what-to-know/

@claassenOne small bug I encountered in New Zealand: my club Eastern Suburbs never had an end of season break (no holiday, no seasonal best eleven) at the end of the year. Maybe something related to their B team having Chatham Cup games in june and july? Hopefully you can fix this while keeping B teams active (I use Eastern Suburbs because of their B team!).
EDIT: also Chatham cup games for B team do not count as official games in players stats (while league games for B teams are registered).

Woah the new updated pack makes want to start a new game, all the new international competitions are absolutely amazing for club & country saves in less conventional leagues thanks a lot claassen!
