  1. I won the Champions League in my first season with AFC Chipping Sodbury Ladies Under Fours. I had a budget of two bags of sawdust, and was playing it on a laptop made out of wood. I used a tactic based around four wing backs, all of them had high Agility stats, and did my team talks in Latin.

    You were lucky.

    When I managed Godawful FC in the West by Northwest Yorkshire League Division Forty-two, I had me squad sleep in hole in t'ground and get up at ten o'clock at night, half-hour before they went to bed, then train twenty-five hours a day, eight days a week, for tuppence every two months. And did they complain? Never.

    But you try and tell the young people of today that... and they won't believe ya'...

  2. I'm still editing Level 10 but during this I am still trying to sort out the problems with teams moving to the wrong divisions, I don't know how to stop it as everything should be ok

    I always follow these steps when creating regional/local divisions:

    1) Specify the regional borders of the division.

    2) Make sure the clubs have cities set that are located within the division borders (I realize that unless regions are all completely square, they will "overlap")

    (2a It might increase the chances of success to also make sure the stadiums have coordinates within the region, but I haven't found this to make much of a difference in the past)

    3) Specify regional divisions for each club (under the "division" tab)

    4) Make the division sizes flexible (e.g. "min 16, max 24" instead of just "20-20").

    You will still get the odd team ending up in the wrong division, but in my experience you should get a promotion/relegation "success rate" of at least 95%.

  3. I really don't get why so many people want their old threads deleted right after they finish (or discontinue) them.

    So much effort went into them, and they can still be an enjoyable read for someone who didn't catch them the first time around...

  4. Ability to create new local regions, possibly the creation of a new database field type called county

    Completely agree with the first part.

    As for the second part, for a nation the size of England (especially "size" in terms of football), they really should just make the local regions in-game = counties IRL. That is already the case in a lot of smaller nations, e.g. Denmark (5 RL regions/"counties" = 5 FM regions), so I think that's just a matter of "FM tradition" and no one ever thought about changing it...

  5. I remember suggesting this previously, however it doesn't seem to attract much attention. But that would be absolutely fantastic! I've tried creating league mergers several times, but it just never feels right when teams are forced to take the nationality of another nation, loses the authenticity. Doubt SI will include it though as I imagine it would be somewhat problematic.

    Yes please! I would love to be able to create a proper Nordic League or Home Nations League...
