When the issue is fixed, would a new save need to be started or would it patch an existing save?
I'm not the right person to ask that, but if you ask in the gameplay thread maybe someone from QA could chime in.

The international slots for MLS don't seem to update season to season. Nashville starts with 2 in the 2023 season and the next season stayed 2 when those clauses should filter back in from prior trades. For a league that doens't generate a ton of usable talent from the academies this makes things quite challenging squad building. Even a screen somewhere that shows the international clauses and their upcoming changes based on deals expiring would help immensely in squad building. I hope this helps, if not please let me know and I'll try to explain a different way.
Okay, you were talking about the INTL slots. Got it. That has already been logged and is in-hand. I apologize, it is a significant issue and has always worked fine.

the pre-game editor comes with the game as far as I know. It's in in-game editor (IE save game editor) that was an additional purchase.

It is not a data issue. It's a gameplay/coding issue. It has been logged and is getting looked at.

Can we get an update on this, SI? MLS right now is unplayable.
Are you saying MLS is unplayable because of one missing affiliate link or something else? If something else please elaborate.
The early access was after data lock for full release. The correction to the affiliation has been completed in the database now (this was my mistake, I had put a B team place holder and missed updating it to HCFC when the separate identity was released). It will be corrected as soon as possible in the live version.
Until then, it is a very simple fix using the pre-game editor. Load up the database, go to Nashville SC > Relationships > Current Affiliations and just swap Nashville SC 2 for hunstville City and you will have the correct functionality. When you start your game, just ensure the data file is selected.

Danny Leyva should be returning to Seattle after his one year loan from Colorado. At the end of the 2023 database has him on a permanent move to Colorado.
he is on loan in the database. If that's not what you see in game please log it as a bug. It's not a data issue.

he is on Charlotte in the database and in my version. Was he perhaps waived? Or are you talking as soon as you start the game?

Quickly tried a half dozen test saves, each game mode & different start dates, and they always start with young DP contracts for me. It's reflected on their contract screens and when you click into registration from the squad page.
Not sure, perhaps a quirk of the public beta, but that's not how it's set in the final data that will be live with full release. Aceves has been amended for that from DP to U22, eveything else was correct.

Also can you put the Show ID in preferences and just confirm if they have different IDs or not please?

I mean are you playing Classic, Real-Life Transfers or Your World?

From my knowledge, the ethnicity setting is not exactly related to skin tone setting, but please correct me if I'm wrong. The skin tone setting just seems to be from lightest (1) to darkest, (20) regardless of ethnicity. When you look at other players with this same skin tone of 12 based in the USA with no set ethnicity, the majority of these players are Hispanic.
When you look at set African ethnicity players with skin tone 12 based in the USA besides Pines, most of these are players who are of visible mixed race in real life. The exception being Andre Reynolds, who's skin tone should also be fixed to a darker tone. Pines' skin tone is nowhere near as light as these players, so having his skin tone set at 12 seems to be an inaccuracy when you consider the other players who also have their skin tone set to 12.
Notice how only about 20 players have their skin tone set this light, despite there being around a thousand USA-based African ethnicity players in the database with darker set skin tones.
Keep in mind, in the pre-game editor provided to players, it shows exactly how a player's set skin tone will look in the match engine. This is how Pines' skin tone is shown in the FM23 pre-game editor, and you can clearly tell it is not as dark as his real-life skin tone and is set exactly to how it is shown in the OP of this thread:
Therefore, this seems to not a bug at all and rather a data issue. In FM23 I found and fixed this issue myself and updated Pines' skin tone from 12 to 15 in the pre-game editor, which came out perfectly well in the match engine and accurately depicted his skin tone in real life without error.
Fair - 12 is too light a tone so I have updated.

Harvey Neville is showing at DC and not at Loudoun (where his loan is set). Might be a squad status related issue (he was set to First Team - could that really have moved him to a different club?)

What game mode is this?
For QA - could this be related to the MLS Trade/Trade Item tables which transfer the slots, but are also set in the International Trade Slots?

It's the default "FM Original" game mode. All three players have the YDP tag and count as DPs per registration rules at game start for me. Contract screen shows it as well:
Looking at the contracts in the DB, Aceves is incorrectly on a Loan DP and not Loan U22. I've updated that for the next data update. I don't see the issue with the others though? both Missael and Reynolds are on MLS Reserves (and that's how it shows in my test game too)?

There is only one Harriel in the DB - likely linked to his intra-MLS loan. Bug not data. Can you confirm what version of the game you are playing please?

He is actually in the DB as African American with a skin tone of 12, so he should not be appearing as white. This seems to be a bug, rather than a data issue.

Gotcha, is there a standard way to traditional prove he is on the recruitment side? He is listed under scouting on their official staff and is Arjun Balaraman's counterpart who is in the game as a recruitment analyst. I also know him, so I know he is in recruitment. Completely understand that isn't a remotely verifiable source. Just trying to see what is needed to provide proof.
LinkedIn is usually a good resource for non-playing staff. Butif they are listed under recruitment, that's probably a pretty good indication. Shoot me a DM if you don't mind.

This might be a silly question, and sorry if the wrong place, but are Data Engineers intentionally excluded from MLS recruitment staff? Just curious because Akshay Easwaran is part of the recruitment staff for ATL United but not included. I believe in game ATL United had 2 vacancies for recruitment analysts so figured it would make sense to include Data Engineers. Guessing it is a general rule that is followed but wanted to ask.
https://www.atlutd.com/club/front-office/technical-soccer-operations
Data engineers are included if it's known what they do. Some are involved in business operations and not scouting. If it's confirmed he has a recruitment role then he should be in as a Recruitment Analyst

Just loaded up a game as the Fire, and I am confused by the contracts: Missael Rodriguez, Justin Reynolds, and Alonso Aceves (loan) on the Chicago Fire all have Young Designated Player contracts in the game, which is incorrect. Missael Rodriguez and Justin Reynolds are home grown players, not DPs. Alonso Aceves is a U22 initiative player, like Federico Navarro and Georgios Koutsias, not a DP either. As it stands, the Fire start with 6 DPs which is nonsensical unless I am missing something here with the registration rules.
Which game mode please, this is not how the data is set in the database.

Chicago Fire FC is missing players. Georgios Koutsias, Ousmane Doumbia, and Alonso Aceves.
What game mode please? They are set correctly in the data.

All the MLS ones have now been updated. I will swing through the D2-D3 ones when I have a chance.

Thanks for the FCC stuff, though it's not all accurate upon review. Ordonez plays primarily at CF at club level, and AMC as secondary. Reviewing his positioning (on WyScout) for his MNT, he has still primarily been at CF, with secondary roles out wide. So I'm okay with that.
The rest of the stuff checks out, thank you.
