    Looking for seeds pattern on tournament

    in Editors Hideaway

    Posted

    Hi I'm looking to know how seeds is distributed on a cup. For this I created a dummy tournament consisting on 16 teams in 4 groups. Each one has a unique seed (which is inserted on his name as well).

    My first experiment was with only two groups, and was easy to recognize seeds patterns (one on each group), but here I can't do it.

    My goal with this is to replicate Copa Libertadores old format where teams from same nation (two) where located on same group. But my challenge here is discovering this pattern.

    If you got the answer It would be appreciated.

    [Beta] Libertadores & Sudamericana retro style

    in Editors Hideaway Download Forum FM23

    Posted · Edited by Pablotapiav

    I wish to share a my Sunday Project that I undertook this week, drawing inspiration from the impressive work bringing back old champions league, who recreated the classic Champions League format. I took it upon myself to replicate this concept for the South American context.

    The Copa Libertadores has historically held the distinction of being the preeminent football event on the continent, epitomizing the pinnacle of South American football excellence. During an era when financial resources were relatively more evenly distributed, spectators could anticipate captivating matches set against the backdrop of Ecuadorian altitudes or the Colombian heat. A more equitable distribution of qualification slots led to a rich diversity of talents emerging in the latter stages of the tournament. Presently, with Brazil commanding a particularly prominent presence, and Argentina to a somewhat lesser extent, monopolizing nearly half of the available slots, preserving the authentic spirit of the Libertadores within the arena has become an intricate challenge. The patch I have developed serves as a nostalgic call to the past, allowing enthusiasts to engage in gameplay reminiscent of that era.

    The Copa Sudamericana, which has solidified its place in the latter half of the South American football calendar, is the successor to a turbulent period characterized by various attempts by Conmebol to establish a prominent tournament in the second semester. The Sudamericana format swiftly gained traction due to its straightforward structure and the unification of the South American region (prior iterations featured competitions that segmented the continent). Subsequently, in an endeavor to align with the principles of UEFA Cup, the format evolved into a hybrid incorporating elements of its original design, the UEFA Cup framework, and a touch of the Libertadores ethos (for instance, there was a year when only one team progressed from groups of four, resulting in lengthy match schedules). Thus, reverting to the 2009 format represents, in my modest opinion, the zenith of the Copa Sudamericana's magnificence and heightened competitiveness.

    In the realm of Football Manager:

    - The Copa Libertadores adopts the 1999 format, wherein two teams per country (league) qualify alongside the reigning champion, who enters at the Round of 16 stage. This configuration entails five groups, each consisting of four teams, with the top three advancing.


    - The Copa Sudamericana adheres to the 2009 format: a field of 32 teams engaged in direct elimination over two legs. Every nation is allocated three positions (2 from league + domestic cup winner), with Argentina and Brazil receiving four each.
    Divergences from actual circumstances include:

    Know issues:

    Libertadores: Regrettably, achieving a scenario wherein both national teams are placed in the same group proved infeasible. Additionally, Prelibertadores and Mexican teams are absent.
    Sudamericana: There is an absence of Mexican and guest teams in this context.
    Both Tournaments: The tournaments span the entirety of the calendar year.


    This current iteration is considered a beta version, formulated exclusively through the basic editor. Extensive testing has been conducted up until the year 2026 without any discernible issues. If an inclination exists to integrate this patch with others, it is advisable to undertake preliminary simulations to ensure compatibility.

    Should assistance be forthcoming in enhancing this project through utilization of the advanced editor, I would be immensely appreciative to receive such contributions.

    [basic editor] I'm not able to add a specific team in custom cup

    in Editors Hideaway

    An alternative solution:

    If you want your "John Doe Cup" with specific teams, then you can try this:

    - Create a league "X" and add in secondary division the teams that you want.

    - Now create your John Doe Cup as you want to.

    - Go To Nation Rules -> Cups -> Add John Doe Cup.

    - In teams select  League X, and automatically will add every team of that legue.

    -  Done, now every team has set their main division, but also they are selected for this custom cup (you can check this going to secondary division for each club)

    Hi, Every year I use Windows sticky notes to remind or do some notes about my FM savegame. Checking on different forums and Football Manager Chats, I've notice that many users uses spreadsheet, windows notepad or having a copybook to write notes. So currently Notebook isn't a very used tool inside the game, maybe because isn't confortable to use it (at least on my case). This how we see nowadays:

    My propossal is to create a NotesBoard where we could stick notes and drag them according to what we want. We could even have a reminder inside each sticky note. So this is how we would see it: (Sorry for using paint, but too lazy for downloading photoshop)
