so ive been messing about with the european cups, i done all 3 but they didnt work, what ive noticed is the editor/game doesnt like the europa cup, that has never worked, and although the cups and other league winners has worked, it doesnt really like any of that either, it works more when its just european and or conference with just however many teams you want but thats defeating the purpose, there is no point in setting up new rules if i cant add my own leagues and cups into it which right now worked 30 mins ago but again when i change it, as usual it doesnt work, so i think im defeated and ill just use the in game european cups, its just a shame the database is a huge piece of confusing crap, huge shout out to the ones who keep trying and trying and finally get things to work, ive lost the will to live trying to set up the european games when the editor doesnt really want it to work the way i want it to work, once you get started its not really that hard if you just want simple leagues or cups

lol this is why i aint touching losing teams going to other cups

yeah but they should also make the editor easier to use and less confusing, especially the subs rule, using the in game editor, you can change the subs rule for each comp quite easily, that would be really useful in the editor, instead of having to change it in 2 or 3 places for different things

yeah i did last night, it worked but only the once, im just getting my leagues sorted out properly just now and ill look at he european side of things later, if i cant get it to work tonight then fine ill just go by the european in game, i just wanted to be able to add other leagues and cups into the european side of things, to make it different

it is already on fixed rules from when it was created but ive changed it back and forth to see if the cup would appear but doesnt make any difference to whether it appears or not, the additional helper isnt enabled, its a brand new rule which ive not long set up, so i think that only enables if you want it enabled and put rules in which would prob delete everytime i went back to basic anyway

ni ive not done that because if something isnt right it doesnt let you go to advanced then it always validates once its correct or i obviously wouldnt be able to use it just done it there for 3 seasons and it worked fine, but the problem is i know it works in the game, i started a new european rule last night and it worked but as soon as i change things it only works when it wants to, the whole competition just disappears, but i have noticed sometimes all the teams that are supposed to be in europe play in a friendly cup semi then final if you win but for now im concentrating on getting my leagues and local cups set up properly i made the mistake of changing rules, then going back to basic rules and when i went back i noticed all the rulees had gone back to what they were before even though it was saved, and i spent ages changing subs rules and some other stuff so im making sure i get everything set up properly in basic rules first so i dont have to go back, then ill change the rules i want to then once thats done ill try starting a new game and see if the european cup works, its now set up the way i want it, so ill save it and validate it a few times, and see if i can get it to work, i did want to do a conference but ill decide later, the europa cup never worked when i tried that

im not even bothering about that its way to complicated and i can just see the editor coming up with loads of new errors when trying to validate it and i would give up, like i said before the options are also pretty poor i wouldnt know what to pick or how to add the options for the number of teams to the very beginning and its not like you can easily do this and that then try it, any time you change something its got a ripple effect and you have to go and change the whole thing for it to validate and hopefully work

i can confirm this does work on fm 23 but only when it wants to, i have started 1 new game where it worked, and when i started again later it did not work, the whole competition was gone and it hasnt worked since, but the first game had the winners of the sky bet leagues in the competition

i really wouldnt bother im trying to do the same, but the database is absolute pure and utter crap, im playing 23, and i downloaded an english database with lower leagues last year that ive been playing but i decided to add scottish leagues, then i wanted to change the european cups but you cant do that unless you set up new rules, so i found a database, with new rules, they didnt work on mine but if you use all his databases it did work so i used it as a template to do my own, i started small, to see if it would work first, so i eventually added the sky bet leagues and it worked, but i didnt save it as a template and added more stuff to it, then it never worked again after that, so i got it going again with just the championship and league one and it worked i saved it as a separate template then added more to it but it never worked again, so i started a new game with the saved template from earlier and it hasnt worked since, and when i say doesnt work i mean no european cups in the game at all, i have also tried the europa cup and that has never worked either, but the database brings up errors that dont exist like not being enoughs teams only 99 can be created but 100 needed that is a common error done it on every one i have tried with different number of teams, im giving up now as ive spent the last 2 weeks trying to get these to work and im sick of it now, i cant find any other european databases for 23, so in game europe will have to do, im disappointed that the database is **** and confusing when it could have been done so much easier oh yeah and the options are pretty **** poor and confusing and teams have to be 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 and so on or it doesnt work unless you have groups which need to be same amount of teams per group

so i managed to find a database that i downloaded that had new europa and european cup rules, so i used that a template to make some new rules but can i just say first this database is an absolute piece of crap findiing errors that dont exist, some i had to go back to main rules save it then go back to advanced save it again then test it to get rid of some of those errors, i wanted it to work first befiore i added to much, so i didnt waste my time spending ages adding stuff and it not working, so i managed to get some new rules to work in the champions, i added the sky bet leagues and it did work when i started a new game but after i added i started adding more stuff it never worked again, but i didnt save it at the point it worked, but i eventually got it working again with just the championship and league 1, so i made sure that i saved that as a separate template and then added more stuff and again it never worked again, so when i loaded up the one that worked before it didnt work again either, same databases northing changed, so ive tried doing a separate europa cup and adding it to the champs league and the europa has never worked, so it think the game decides whether it works or not and when i say not working there is no actual european cups in the game although 1 did have the europa cup but didnt have any games for some reason, ive tried loads of different things but nothing is working im getting sick of trying now and am close to giving up especially when 1 save works at one point then doesnt next time, even my main league database has found loads of new errors when i havent touched it in days, but luckily i had a few different saves, like i say absolute and utter piece of crap

thanks for the info but i havent a clue what i should be doing or what this actually does, you say its not that complicated but it is, you say leave teams/nations blank, well you cant get into advanced rules if their is no nations selected, there are other problems getting into advanced by some rules that i cant even see or set up, im not sure what i should be doing or putting under other cups, so im not going to keep messing around with it cause it isnt going to work and the database im using goes to level 11 and the main database only goes to level 5 or something i think and i want to pick teams all the way down and not sure if i have to go to nation rules to enable the leagues, which then stops me from being able to add continental rules

yeah ive used multiple editors before, all i really wanted to do is add a couple more cups to the europa/conf cups, so is there any easy way to add to the 7 or so places england gets or would i have to go down the complicated route and add continental rules

thnaks for the info but as i stated at the start im playing fm 23, your file is fm 24 which doesnt work, if havent seen anything to do with continental cup and the nation, i have obviously set the nations to england so i can play the leagues in england and i have changed some teams to england but not them all yet, but it will be a while b4 any of the teams get to the premier or win any of the cups, but i have played with scottish teams in england b4 and they have always qualified for europe through the english cups and league, the database is quite crap and a nightmare, its taken me ages to get where i am and am not about to mess around with much more of it, because i learnt the hard way about changing rules like subs and transfers saving it verifiying it all then going back to basic rules to do something else and realizing that all the sub rules and anything else i changed had reverted back to what they were at the start, and it took me a few times of changing them to realize at what stage they were changing and i if wanted to set up new continental rules i wouldnt be able to do it with the same database im using, so i dont want to waste a whole load of time changing things then trying to get it to work

Hi im playing fm 23 and I would like to know if there is a way of adding more cup or league winners to European games, the add continental rules is greyed out, I downloaded a England top level 10 database and ive been playing that, ive decided to change it up a bit, ive added the top 8 scottish leagues to the end of level 10 and the Scottish and league cups but now that ive done that they don’t qualify for European comps, they are in it the 1st season as they had already qualified, I ran for a couple of season to test it out but there is no euro comps after 1st season is there any way to add them back to qualifying for European games without it being too complicated, ive tried a lot of different stuff within the league and cups but nothing works I think it there must be something i need to do within the actual euro comps but no idea what it is though and I cant really find any info, and I would also like to add other cups and league winners to the comps to give other teams a taste of europe

well it wasnt just the 8, had quite a few more offside during the season had 2 chopped off quite a lot in other games and def alot less for the opposition, so it is a factor
