Happy Holidays. I hope you all had a good Christine Sinclair Day (BC Place is permanently renamed Christine Sinclair Place in all future updates) I doubt this will be a disappointment for some, but the spliced U23 and U20 leagues have just become too costly on my soul to maintain, so i'm removing them. Every time I make a change to anything, it breaks and everything crashes, and as such im just gonna get rid of them. The Canadian Open is enough janky-mess for me Instead, I'll be implementing Two "Challenge Cups" per youth level. This will see the Top 24 teams from the main youth pyramids face off against the Top 24 teams in Usports, and the second level of 48 teams play against the bottom 24 Usports teams. This will allow the top level programs to still give U23 and U20 players their needed 30 games per season for optimal development, and as such they will see no changes to their schedules, while also having the beneficial side effect of removing almost 8000 games from the simulation per season for teams that literally will never develop players in the first place. For those who still enjoy watching their youth programs go up and down the pyramid, I will be looking to increase the depth of the pyramids; and based on the results of the poll, maybe even bringing the U23 teams into the main senior pyramid

It looks like this works, when combined with the "custom nation in Europe" file

DarthAnimal Canadian League Pyramid 23.24.2.fmf This update adds 16 teams from the Vancouver Metro Soccer League, as well as an extra Metro Division to the lower leagues, complete with awards. I also rebalanced the BC leagues based on VSML teams that have gone extinct in real life, but I have not yet updated the other teams in the VMSL Ill do one pass to add teams, then another to update existing teams

I have certainly broken something on my end Update: I just did a fresh isntall, and didnt touch the graphics file. Instead I set the restricted folder access to false in the editor "specialfolders" file, and it worked

Simply put nothing I did was able to change anything in my version of the editor. I dont know if its my cache, my install, my whatever, but all I seem to have accomplished was removing the Icon picture

Ive put together a very short 6 question poll to help me gauge what improvements I should be making in the future https://forms.gle/yVcLfLCr8hgdiA8FA

This fix doesnt seem to work anymore

I havnt decided what to do about the MLS teams yet, but what im going to do for this year is release an update for leagues one at a time, league by league, from east to west. So they first update will be teams from the Vancouver metro league, and so on. It might suck for those of you who want the maritime leagues, but at least you can have something to hold you over. If you need to wait until I update everything, thats fair, but you can just wait till I release the entire update in like... 18 months or whatever its gonna take this time lol

I think its because I used a new competition so it didn't recognize UEFA coefficient? I created a league with Germany and Ireland, 2 teams from1, 1 from 2. The first season it was 2 from Ireland and 1 from Germany, the 2nd season it was the same, and then finally in the third it was 2 from Germany Thats definitely confusing

It doesnt look like Coefficient sorting actually works, the nations are still hard coded in order

As a question One of the teams that I must use is the Vancouver U23 team that plays in League1 BC, as this is the function of Vancouver 2, I simply extinct this team, and keep them in the U23s. This functionality is broken in FM24, and I have to keep the team alive What should I do with this team? A: Let them stay as is in the U23 system as a simple outlier, as Vancouvers 2nd U23 team B: Give the other MLS teams "U23" teams, and let their 2 teams stay in the MLS system while their U23 team takes the new role as the Canadian U23 team C: Give the other MLS Teams these "U23" Teams, but let their MLS2 teams play in the Canadian System (As of right now the MLS 2 teams are broken, and don't sign players like a normal team would, which out be out of place if they played in Canada) D: Keep the MLS2 teams as the U23s, turn this broken U23 team into a senior affiliate team that plays in the Canadian System with their own additional U23s and U20s E: Balls to the Wall, one of the above, but in addition all U23s and U20s play in the Senior Pyramid, creating like 20 levels or whatever where the MLS academy teams play against like Surrey United, as true to real life

Ive tried messing around with the new "Number of Years of Coefficients used to rank teams" option, but it doesnt seem to work, so I dont think we can even really recreate the league system

One step at a time lol

DarthAnimal Canadian League Pyramid 23.24.1.fmfThis file has a little bit more work done and is the "Release candidate" if it loads/validates So if it doesnt work for any of you, let me know

Its unfortunately not very consistent, my leagues are fine even when I download the file from here (that seemed to break my cache with the last version). We'll have to wait to see what other people report I guess What a launch lol

This is going to sound silly, but do you have those leagues "View Only"

Let me know if this file works A, and B, if all the leagues validate Animal Canada Test Ext 1.fmf

Right now its the only league I verified But as long as it loads and doesn't crash im fine with that I have to manually validate each league so ill do tbat tonight

Nevermind I found the fix I had 2 non extinct teams made extinct, which the editor doesnt let you do this year Ill run it till 2040 but in the meantime I need someone to load this Animal Canada Test Ext.fmf

Theres an issue caused by Databases that have been imported from FM23, which I mentioned in the other thread We will probably need to stick to FM23 for a couple of months

Whats crazy is I literally had it verify and run until 2040, and then as soon as I downloaded the version on stream, it started crashing

FM24 is definitly the buggiest release in the franchise for the Editor There are people reporting that FM23 files just dont work in general, or that if you install your FM onto a drive other than C itll break, and ive of course been unlucky enough to do both. So if its not working, unfortunately I think we just have to live with FM23 for a couple of months

The Canadian Championship has been expanded, and the winner still qualifies as normal

Have you ever worked in QA? QA are given things to look at, and then report bugs The Dev team managers then decide what bugs get fixed, and to what priority they get fixed If this bug wasnt found, it was because the QAs weren't given the task to look at the editor, considering its not very hard to find, because the management team didn't prioritize the editor If the bug was found, its on the Developers to actually correct the broken code, QA cant do a thing at that point, and management just didn't care enough to task someone with fixing it

Looks like we cant add nations to European competitions anymore, and I have no idea how to fix it without recreating the entire system Guess Spain gets what they want and annex Gibraltar
