By far the biggest problem this year is the AI's difficulty to build squads that abide to HG rules. I took over a team in Norway and upon arriving I found out 3 good players were not even registered in the league due to HG limits.

The same thing happened when I arrived in Turkey, the team had 3 foreign GKs when the league rules say there needs to be 1 HG goalkeeper in the team sheet for every game.

I had a different problem - there were AI teams that had more than 9 non HG players registered in Norway. Just stopped playing the save after that.

Hi claassen,

I found an issue with Cosafa Cup - it causes postponement of fixtures in the World Cup schedule for some African teams (I think only for the nations that I added -Algeria, Senegal,etc...-  and South Africa).  It also adds those nations as Cosafa Cup qualifiers, but not in actual group stage (2 groups of 4).

I also want to thank you for adding lower leagues to European nations.

BTW, do you plan to do Copa Peru in the far future ;-)?

Thanks for your answer. You're doing an amazing job with all those leagues.

It works perfectly after first season. Btw, you probably know that Mexican FA has withdrawn from Copa Libertadores, so there won't be any Mexican teams in 2017. I've seen in some topic that this change was too late for 17.2 update, but will probably be implemented in final update.

Hi Claassen,

I did a few new test saves in South America. There are still some problems with first seasons in respective leagues, but after the first season the qualifiers are always correct. I tried some saves with different start dates, and there were problems with Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela in 2016 and Bolivia in 2016/17. In most cases there was a wrong order of top3, but there was also a case where Barcelona won second stage in Ecuador and didn't qualify at all. 

I checked the first season reports and there were different teams stated in report. There were also explanation, like for example Winner of LFB, 2nd place LFB, Winner Copa Traxi etc. After the first season, the explanations are gone and the right teams qualify in right order. I guess something must be hardcoded in the game.

Hi claassen,

First let me say that I really appriciate your work on leagues not included in official release. 

I'm running some tests on South America + Mexico. I wanted to do a save, starting as unemployed, but quickly realised that there are far too few managerial changes to have an enjoyable save - almost no sackings.

During the tests I noticed some problem with Copa Libertadores. Sometimes there are more than three teams qualifying from Bolivia and Paraguay (I had 5 teams from Paraguay twice, many more times four teams from Bolivia and Paraguay) Sometimes teams from those two countries lose in first preliminary round but go into group stage anyway instead of some preliminary round winners.

I also noticed that there are sometimes wrong teams that qualify from Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela - for example winner of second stage in Ecuador did not qualify despite being third inleague table or winner of first stage playoof final in Venezuela not qualifying.

I tested a save without custom leagues and there were no problems with too many teams in Libertadores or teams losing in preliminaries and still going to group stage.

Best regards
