Ive pinpointed a failing database down to the sigular edit that caused it to fail Winnipeg FC being added to League 3 Prarie With Winnipeg FC in L3P, the database crashes when I remove Winnipeg FC, the database doesnt crash When I remove the Supporter objectives and restore the team to the League, it doesnt crash I am frustrated lol

Im in that really awkward stage where im testing things for hours and hours, without doing in actual work, trying to fix the broken parts. Its slow, and its not sexy, but it means its coming out soon

If youre asking for one thats compatible with this the honest answer is I have no idea, as I dont test for compatibility But there is this one

According to my most recent test, Valour gets relegated in 2031 Canadas best player in 2050 is a goalkeeper that came out of Waterloo for Borussia Dortmund, presumably because of the link up with Waterloo United/BVB International Academy Waterloo. And while a majority still come out of MLS academies, many national team players have come from teams like Victoria Highlanders and TSS Rovers

Can you try verifying Football Manager from your steam library? I just tried it on my machine and it loaded fine, it might be a problem with your install

Theres only like 4 teams that ive made myself but you can use those Of the other teams theyre all real life teams or coming expansion teams so im pretty sure youre free to use them anwyay

Ive been on vacation so i havnt been able to respond to this But this is actually an error with college teams. If there are too many teams with a certain club objective of like "sign players under the age of 18" or whatever it may be it wont load a save file if there are too many leagues loaded. It might be helpful to restart your save with less leagues and saving reloading before you hit continue This will obviously be fixed in the update once released which should be in the coming weeks. Basically I just removed the objectives. Again im sorry for such a wait but if you want a better fix you can edit the file to remove club objectives from U Sports teams

Im sorry for such a long delay Despite needing to do less work, ive somehow made more work for myself, and have taken longer on this database than the last Ive definitely taken the fact that I released the FM22 version at the beginning of the year as a security blanket, and have been working less efficiently that I would have liked. But its coming, its almost done. Im just going over last minute game design for the rules of the competitions before fully implementing them, and making sure my database is perfectly sanitized to be imported into FM24 when the time comes so I dont have to undo so many mistakes as I did this year

So a dumb thing about me is I have no idea how Quebec works cause I cant speak french but apparently in Quebec "College" refers to schools for 17 and 18 year olds, as a grade 12, grade 13 situation prior to going onto University, as their highschools end at grade 11 So, despite saying ive added CCHA schools to the game, that doesnt include Quebec colleges that are a part of the RSEQ, as they are basically super highschools

To give my thought process behind the 8+3U21+1U18 bench rule First, theres a U21 mandate in the real world CPL, but I think its a bit silly to have in game in the year 2050, so I just made it a number of U21 in the squad, Minutes is a fairly complicated rule, so to keep things simple, I just give teams extra slots for U21 players if they want them, while still having a full squad of O21 players. Second, The MLS, Bundesliga, and EPL are all 5 from 9 subs 7 bench is effectively dead, good riddance. With 8 on the bench, you can carry a GK, LB, CB, RB, MC, LW, RW, and STR. Instead of having to double dip your wingers, or fullbacks, or just not carry a goalie, 9 lets you cover the case where you play with 2 different midfield spots, like a 433 or 4231, which is really powerful But in Italy its 5 from 12, which is backups for your entire 11, plus a 3rd striker, or 3rd keeper, or whatever you want to do, however they also reportedly want to do 5 from 15, which is nuts, In my mind thats too much, so I compromise on 5 from 8 or 9 So first, you get your 8, to cover the 442 positions that you need to. If you want to carry a backup for every position, you have to have a U21 in the squad somewhere, up to 3. If you want to then also carry your 3rd striker or 3rd keeper, or whatever else you feel you might need in a given match, you must have a U18 player in the squad somewhere. which also counts as a U21, which bumps that number up to 4 Without any youth in your squad, you're basically playing 5 from 8 With 4 youth however, you can play 5 from 12 Hopefully that makes sense

Apparently 23.5 is out? I havnt been able to download it yet, so im not sure if I need to release another version of this or not

What error are you encountering?

Just talking about season schedules once more Not including Europe, an EPL team is asked to play 40 games, 38 league, 2 cups, and is expected to win at least one of those cup games before losing to EPL Opponents, so 42 games. Across the 2 cups, the top EPL team if they win everything, is asked to play 13 extra games plus the community shield, or 52 total games. They might lose in the EFL cup and have 5 less games to play or whatever, but they in theory could be playing 52. Germany may play a maximum of 41, and so does do the Canadian MLS teams. I want to push towards 48 games for both the MLS and professional CPL teams In the current version of the Database, an MLS team might play 9 or 8 Canadian games, 1 obviously has to lose in the Canadian Championship semi finals, in addition to the 4 MLS cup games they may have to play, in a 34 game schedule, pushing it up to 47 or more likely 46 with the bye. My goal is to try to find a way to get those 2 extra games against CPL teams, preferably against rivals. This was originally going to be against their provincial cup opponents, but since that would lead to an unbalanced schedule for everyone except Vancouver, im going to rework it. Assuming the MLS teams have to play every single game, even the extra 2 games in the Canadian Championship, this will put their season at 51 games, the EPL limit, but 48 is expected, considering they have 3 possible bye rounds The CPL teams on the other hand were scheduled to play 30 league games, which will of course be unchanged. And of course it depends on who plays who in what cup, but 3 of the CPL teams would be making the finals in the regional cups, to play 4 games, plus the league cup, the Sinclair Cup, which gets them another 3 or 4, and the winner of that gets to play 3 games in the Canadian Championship, while 2-5 play 4, and 6-9 play 3 unless they win everything, in which case its an extra game or 2 depending on where they start. The reasonable expectation is that they will max out at 42 or 41 games, while a team that loses in the Sinclair cup final, but wins the championship plays 44. Id like to add 6 games to the schedule. This would bring the Top CPL team to 48, the 2nd to 49, and a maximum run of 52 games for a bottom placed team (5 in the Sinclair Cup, 6 in the Championship, 4 in the Regional Cup, plus 6 new games, plus Canadian Open). However, as they are a bottom team, this is more akin to the Championship where they play 48 games in a league season, and Lower EPL teams if they win in the EFC Cup bringing their season to 52. If you go on such a run, its your own fault. These teams should be expected to play 40 games, which is akin to the 42 in the EPL. Not every team will play these 6 new games, obviously, as they will be additional rounds in a cup, but itll give teams extra home games, so they will have similar opportunity for gate receipts and hopefully reputation

Ive decided to table the increase in the number provincial cups as its just too unbalanced, theres only 40 teams between Alberta and Saskatewan but 140 in BC, and 80 in Manitoba, and the Ontario cup is already the Ontario League cup Instead ill just be doing league cups, and expanding the regional cups; The 3 MLS teams will obviously win the top level, but ill create 3 additional levels. Itll decrease the number of cup winners originally planned, limiting reputation growth, but its the best compromise I think

Updated to 23.4, raw file is in the main post

IE if a team is french speaking in Canada, how do I ensure they sign french speaking players and coaches, should that be their club culture?

There will now be 4 tiers of soccer The professional Tier the Competitive Tier The Local Tier and the School Tier The professional tier is being decreased from 112 teams to 96, meaning Division 4 is now only East West. These teams will play for the Christine Sinclair Cup, like the FA Trophy To compensate, the Competitive Amateur tier will now contain the next 3 divisions, which will increase their size from 10 to 12, but play less interplay games. These teams will play for the Julia Grosso cup, like the FA Vase The Local tier will then decrease their sizes, now being roughly 8 teams per league. There will never be interplay here, and teams will go straight up and straight down, to decrease the number of games in the system. However they will play for the new Jade Rose Cup, like the real world Canadian Challenge Cup The School tier is roughly the same, but will be now split into 2 levels with promotion relegation, bringing the total number of playable levels to 12, with two seasons of play, one for the Fall Semester, one for the Spring Semester. The newest change will be that age calculation is done September 1st, which means players will become ineligible for USports play, but remain eligible for split league play, like SFU competing in the U23 Premier League. Unfortunately this is the best compromise I can achieve in the Football Manager engine I will TRY to fix the youth leagues, and make it so only the Professional Tier and the top level USports teams compete in the sliced leagues, but this may get screwy when teams get relegated, but not their U23 or U20/U18 teams. But this will decrease the total number of games simulated, and save money on travel for amateur teams that are in the bottom of the leagues no one cares about, while giving more games to top prospects. In addition, there will be 3 levels for youth teams in their local groups, meaning teams will no longer be cursed to have to play in the game group as the Whitecaps, TFC, and Montreal, when they dont even have players, so there will be less 21-0 drummings of North Surrey FC, for example from my save as the Whitecaps (I had a goal differential of 122). Itll now be Whitecaps, Vancouver FC, Pacific, Cavalry, FC Edmonton, Valour, and Prarieland FC in a group, with teams like TSS, Victoria Highlanders, Bayern Burnaby, Fraser Valley FC, and Surrey United rotating in and out, This will further increase the quality of competition for top prospects, while still giving teams games to play for fitness, and allow for variety in groups, so they arent static Theoretically this will be between West, Ontario, and East, otherwise the eastern Group will be trying to fit all of TFC, Montreal, Forge, York, Windsor, Ottawa Fury, Athletico Ottawa, and Halifax in, with 2 of those teams being relegated every year. East will be a little weak, but thats okay, the extra playing time will helps teams get better hopefully

Unfortunately ive already added the teams from the CCAA and MMSL, among others of course The work now is just getting the leagues to work the way I want them

There are now well over 600 teams

No, sorry I meant the Football Manager default database, the update from Sports Interactive. Theyre going to be doing MLS transfers and stuff like that

Yes, ive added it (now) to the main topic Keep in mind that there is a future main database update coming that will contain updates to the MLS, so I will be needing to release this again, presumably multiple times, just in case yall want to start a long term save

We have been updated for the new football manager update still not the final version of the database, but we're getting there https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941370043

Well at least we won the Gold Cup lol Thats one hell of a rise, ive never even managed to beat an MLS team

This happened in a test save

Edmonton will be in the database still, and Vancouver FC has been added. The CPL has been expanded from the real life 8 teams to 16
