2022/23 Season Update
A pretty dire season all told, we were in free fall for most of the 2nd half of the season. A 1-0 win due to a penalty against Corticella in the last weeks of the season made sure of us finishing above them - not that it was particuarly deserved. So we avoid last place by the skin of our teeth, and relegation only by the fact that this databse has no relegation from Serie D.
Not being relegated feels like a bit of a cop-out, but as I play on a laptop and Eccelenza level is just too many leagues for me - I will have to accept my 'divine intervention'. I could alternatively restart - but given we're predicted dead last @ 250-1, that would likely not stave off 'ficitonal' relegation anyway - so my current plan is to continue with this save in its current form.
I don't really see the point of saying any more, as I expect to see a large turnover of players this transfer window & hopefully nest season is much different. Also, if I can't get 6 points from the first 5 games next season - I'm sacked - so we will have to see if I survive.
The national team, somewhat unsurprisngly, is doing even worse.
from here on in I expect to put in minimum effort for a few years - as the players just are'nt good enough.

Also occurred to me that San Marino doesn't allow dual nationality, so as long as you check that box it might help prevent dual nationals joining (regardless of the years set). I'm not sure how that's implemented in the game but I think they might have a status of like "doesn't want to give up existing nationality"
yeah I was thinking about changing that too but alas worried it would mess up playability in the long term - would need to test properly

If you play as Victor San Marino in the Italy divisions... Do you get Sammaraise youth intake or Italian youth intake?
Based nation of Victor is San Marino ... so most regens will have some form of Sammarinese nationality

Are these database upgrades available off-Steam? I'm on the Game Pass version.
depends what setup you're looking for, but I think most of them are somewhere on this thread / we have copies of them
I've attached my fix for Victor & SM Academy incorrect nationality changes (make sure it loads last) - for anyone that wants it (would need a new game)
@ChiccO could you put it in the front post? also the Victor in serie D too? as I play on a laptop so eccelenza adding 10K players is too much. - make the challenge more accesible.

@Ronaldo Beckham i see youve updated your youth recruitment a lot - is that beneficial or not? - as i thoughtit would mean youd get more players from further afield who arent eligible for the National team?

I think I may have found the problem with Victor players switching nationality at the start of the game.
In the editor, their based nation is Italy, despite the club being based in San Marino. I think when the game starts their based nation changes to San Marino as they play for the club but their "date when moved to based nation" (i beleive, havent checked ingame editor) does not change. As this is (usually) when they were born, it would put them over the San Marino citizenship requirements.
therefore, setting the "date when moved to based nation" to *roughly* when they joined the club (Victor) in the editor should fix the problem
also in the editor the nationality rules (as per english Wikipedia - is this right?) are incorrect. it is 30 years & no dual so ill fix that too.
I've made a file but want to test a little more this evening/tomorrow.
on second thought, not too sure how / what to do to nationality rules in the editor, given the complicated nature of the system and the game being more basic; https://www.sanmarinosite.com/en/infos/citizenship/
SpoilerChoices I have;
Continuous or Accumulative
Number of years to be eligible, 15 by default, requirement IRL is 30
Allow / do not allow dual nationailty (it is allowed ingame but not IRL - if it wasnt allowed, might lock out regens?)Like its usually 30 for people with no connection other than living there, but youd think if someone stayed for 15+ years that they have a greater connection.
edit 1: Maybe it's best to just leave the nationality rules alone, given they have worked decent in previous versions, and just fix the based nation for the Victor players.
edit 2: as if new regens play for the club, they probably live in the country with their parents - so could likely get citizenship (so effectively have the choice of national team anyway) . or they have at least done 15 of 30 years
tldr; I dont beleive the in-game nationality rules are completely correct, but leaving them as they are is at least reasonable and helps ensure playability in the long-term. I also did a year-long test, and by May 2023 none of the players that should'nt be able to have chaged their nationality to Sammarinese, so changing their "date of moving to based nation" for players that play in the Italian league for clubs with San Marino as their based nation seems to fix it. Might need to do this for the San Marino Academy, too - although I didn't notice this happening to any of their players yet.

Hi mate I think this is a bug. As it’s 15 years living in SM for citizenship. The database is correct as I checked it after the bug so no idea what causes it!

Don't have time to keep the thread updated much these days, so if yous want to start a new one for fm23 (or use this one) that's cool
If I don't do that, maybe I'll squeeze put some time to play!
I reckon just write Acheivements in each of our posts rather than the front of the thread because updating takes too long (bar the really high level ones)

I've re-started - found this one online, I'm in season 3 with no problems:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776261068&searchtext=italy
It works with 22.4, so there are a few data changes. Emiliano Pedrazzini no longer qualifies to play for San Marino in the second season of the save. Striker Voinea is no longer with the club and we are lacking a decent AF/Poacher. The youth facilities are also way down on the original database.
Anyway, given dynamic youth ratings aren't dynamic, I bought the Editor and I'll make them dynamic - nothing crazy, indeed I won't lift it until we are established with a world ranking above 150. Not doing updates or achievements on here, just playing for fun - and not racing to Serie A - going to keep the club at the level of its intakes, so if that means 5+ years in Serie C, so be it. My first FM22 save was too much like my FM19 one - so enjoying being able to attack it a different way.
Seems like a cool idea, considering doing something like that myself - upping a point seems very fair if there is relative sucess!

Oh dear! not going well this season!
We've now recovered to our natural position of 20th in the National League, above 21st (relegation) on goal difference.
I must admit, it is starting to feel like a bit of a dead end / boring given that this is the 3rd season in a row with no change, and a board that seemingly has absolutely zero ambition, yet will very likely sack me if I get relegated ... anyway. Esp when I am getting offers from clubs in much better situautions ... i will have a think and maybe come back to this save at some point in the future

Not the guy that comitted to replacing me, but this still came through ... will I still be at the club come the beginning of the season?
He also seemed to take a £300k loan and invest enough money so we are £170k in the green - meaning I "helped repair financial damage" but still have an E rating?

Truro City 2025 Board Update
So my super-stingy chairman is looking to step down ... lets see what this brings ...
So if one group takes over, I lose my job
- also, it seems if i don't perform another miracle this season and keep the club up again, I could well also be out of a job in any case .
We will see how this goes ...

Truro City FC 2024/25
We survived by the skin of our teeth once again - by goal difference. Once again, we lost on the final day and needed our opponent to lose to an already relegated team (Dulwich Hamlet this time, who came up with us). To be honest, we were even luckier than last year, managing to survive with 7 points less than previously and a goal difference double as bad !!!
We will not survive next season unless I can strengthen considerably - which looks unlikely, given the state of my scouting.
The squad is relatively similar to last season - with mainly loans coming in.
Even our best players at 4* are still only leading VNS/VNN players - and we are struggling to recruit, due to;
1. Isolation / Distance to most of the UK
2. Reputation. We are 4th lowest of the VNL (2 of which got relegated), and below 11 VNS/VNN teams.
3. Finances. We are still Semi-pro, and our wage spend of £352K p/a is 3rd lowest, and is set to decrease as i am currently £1600 p/w over budget (after renewing expriring players on reduced contracts - many around 25-40%!) This is due to the dire financial situation the club finds itself in
Even I could only get a new contract 1 month before expiry - after applying for other jobs!

Truro City FC 2023/24
It is, quite frankly, a miracle that we stayed up. Having won 5 games at the beginning of the season, we then were absolutely abysmal from then until the end of the season - only surviving by the skin of our teeth. Going into the last day, we were equal on points. We had Dag & Red away, while Scunthorpe had the dead and buried Darlington (also away). We tried to attack, but only managed to score 1 while conceding 3. Therefore, our survival was only secured by Darlington's surprise victory vs Scunthorpe !
Over the season, I first used a 5-2-1-2 vertical tiki-taka which was so sucessful last season, but we became unable to penetrate the better teams so I also used wing-play systems more towards the end of the season. one of the main tasks for the off-season would be evolving the tactics for the new season alongside recruiting the players for those systems.
Of note;
- Kouakou is one of our own youth products (who has scored for France U18s) , and to me it feels like he has had more of an impact that the numbers suggest. He is however, slow and not progressing very much at the moment.
- Will Dean (our star player from last year) left for Grimsby for £16.25k, which was a big loss. He was actually on loan at Darlington, and in the team that saved us from relegation vs Scunthorpe - so there is at least some value to that
- I have actually spent money on players (i didnt want to) but necessity made me as the selection of players that have some interest in joining at this stage (let alone are good enough to impact) is vanishingly small
- I wish I never let Jayden Ali go (was non-contract, should have offered him one) was a very dependable backup midfielder or wing-back who always put in a shift
- Most loanees were recalled because I did'nt play them enough - but Rhys shirley did have some decent games up top with or instead of Akheem Rose

Truro City FC - 2022/23Surpassing all expectations in the league, we managed to get promoted. Beginning of season, we were expected to finish 14th, but it improved to 6th as we strengthened. . Desite these low expectaions, we were actually in 1st place for the majority of the season - losing 1st place to some shaky end of season form, but managing to win the playoffs, to avert tragedy.
As mentioned, I strengthened an already strong squad, managing to keep all of our top players. Some of these players (Harvey and Dean) were even rated good enough for the National League as soon as the game began. There was a reasonable turnover, although the players that played the most games were mostly already here or signed very early. I did have some difficulty in recruitment as players are unwilling to locate large distances for semi-pro football, meaning most of my players are either from south-west England or south Wales (Truro being rather isolated both geographically and as the best Cornish team)

Captain Hook invades Cornwall !
Captain hook has invaded cornwall, while for some reason showing extreme interest in their football team - and has chosen to manage them.
