  1. Luxembourg for sure. Lived there for a few months and there is great potential for development there.
  2. Somebody must have asked the RNGenie for a Zlatan regen
  3. @V50 Have you made a decision about this? I haven't seen any changes made on ORDB (I am an AR now). I still think it would be best to create Ciudad as a separate extinct club with its prior history to itself, and have the new La Habana on its own record. And then the "new club" field can be used to link the two and show the likely merger. Also, I have opened several discussions on there regarding stadiums in Caribbean nations that don't appear to have been seen and/or addressed. Would appreciate it if you could take a look. Thanks!
  4. Looks like adequate is still worse than average for training and youth facilities though? Unless that's unintentional.
  5. Something tells me it'd cost a bit more than 19 pounds . Amazing end to the season, you're really going places now!
  6. From what I've noticed over the years, similar ethnicity-based errors exist in many of the other black-majority Caribbean nations. I'm not entirely sure it's a data issue, as it relates to generated players, but someone in the relevant area at SI should address this.
  7. Congrats mate! Only a matter of time before we see you in the FM database I reckon
  8. Damn that was fast . Congratulations on a job well done and an epic journey completed. I've been following since the beginning and it was an enjoyable career every step of the way, so I'm very happy to see you reach the end. Good luck on whatever comes next; personally I'm rooting for you to go back and start the Brazil challenge over again, but I'm sure you'll come up with something cool no matter what it is. For the moment, all hail King Kojo!
  9. What a season! It's a welcome surprise to have seen you make the breakthrough in a tough league like Ghana so soon, it seemed like even you thought it would be a few more seasons yet. I suppose maybe having two big teams to contend with can be better than just one, as they will also be competing against each other for transfers and taking points off each other, not just your team. Well done on completing all the leagues, it's been a long but rewarding journey! Now good luck on the last challenge of finally winning the Champions League! How do you rate your chances next season?
  10. Correction on the titles: Ciudad de la Habana have six titles, not ten. They were won in 1978-79, 1979, 1984, 1994, 1998, and 2001 (Source)
  11. I'm reposting this issue from FM23. The Cuban club representing the city of Havana in recent versions of the game is not the same club as the one that was present in previous editions of the game. The club La Habana (ID 5430463) now appears to resemble the current top tier club FC La Habana, which is not the same club as Ciudad de le Habana, a former 10-time national champion that was represented under this ID as recently as FM21. Ciudad appear to either no longer exist or to be playing in a lower division, but the history of the club in the database matches that of Ciudad and not FC La Habana. The fact that these clubs are not the same can be proven through RSSSF records that show them playing in the same league at the same time for several years (ex: https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cuba08.html) and Spanish Wikipedia has separate pages for each club. I suppose it is possible that the two clubs merged, but I have not seen evidence of this online and even if they did, Ciudad's history should be separated from FC La Habana's. To fix this, FC Le Habana should be created as a separate club with its own history (four national titles in 1916 and consecutively from 1965-67) reflected, and the ID 5430463 should be reverted back to Ciudad de la Habana and contain record of its 10 national titles (1963, 1964, 1972, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1984, 1994, 1998, 2001). Ciudad should be either marked as extinct or placed in the lower division. Lastly, FC La Habana play at the Estadio La Polar rather than Ciudad's Estadio Pedro Marrero.
  12. The club currently known in the database as Sumy (ID 5313097) have been mistakenly identified as a successor club of the old club PFC Sumy, which had the same ID in the FM database until it was wound up in 2019. The club currently using this ID are FC Sumy, which is a completely separate club from PFC Sumy. FC Sumy was renamed in 2020 from LS Group (ID 71105191) after PFC Sumy dissolved, but this was not intended to establish the club as a successor to PFC and the clubs have no affiliation with each other. Therefore, FC Sumy should be reassigned the 71105191 ID of LS Group and their histories should be merged, whilst ID 5313097 should be restored as PFC Sumy and set as an extinct club.

  13. Incredible season from start to finish. Clearly the previous season's results made everyone on your team mad, I can't see it any other way .
  14. Mate, I hate to be that guy, but I think you've stolen Tony Hawker's idea for this save . Jokes aside, I'm looking forward to this one. You get to claim the title of the first official Japanese thread in FMCU history, and that's pretty darn cool. Hope you can hold on to the promotion places in this first season!
  15. Ever since you mentioned that Tamale was close to Kojo's hometown I was hoping you'd get to go there, so this is awesome . As you said, it really seems a fitting end to his journey. I don't think I've actually commented on this thread so far but I've been following along the whole time and it's been a very enjoyable read just like in Brazil. I'm a huge fan of your update style and I'm rooting for you to finish this save on a high with Tamale. Do you think you will stay and try to win the Champions League here even if you get to the Ghanaian title first?
  16. Yep, just got the same thing... been a while since I've seen any kind of spam on these forums. It really did used to be a major problem with all those Korean "bulgeum" ads and the like . Kinda odd there's no option to report PMs, so hopefully it just goes away on its own.
  17. What's the 13 colonies aspect all about? Just playing with teams from those states or something deeper?
  18. I'm getting the FMCU/writing bug back ever so slowly. Just restarted an old thread of mine where I have unfinished business. How are you? Any plans for a new save or waiting for 24?
  19. Nagtoralik-45 A New Dawn Well, I'm back. I have unfinished business, and I'm keen to finish it. Nearly four years ago I deleted my previous save in a fit of rage after completing a ninth consecutive season without capturing the Greenlandic outdoor national championship, with the last two seasons both resulting in a bewildering failure to qualify from the regional qualification stage. I was happy to be rid of the save at the time, but over the years I came to deeply regret my decision. I grew a deep attachment to Nagtoralik and its players, and each time we came up short it only increased my desire to bring the squad the trophy they deserved. The unique Greenlandic league system was something I was a big fan of too. Many times I thought about starting over, but I was worried I wouldn't feel the same way about a new save without the presence of my favorite game-generated players like Lars Aabech, Morten Martinusen, Ulrik Espersen, or Steffen Nielsen. Starting over was complicated anyway by the fact that the database I used for the save on FM19 (which was far and away the best Greenland db I'd ever seen, not least because it included real Greenlandic players) was no longer available for download. Luckily I found the editor file hiding out on my family's old desktop I used to play FM on, which opened the door to starting over, but there was another possibility that presented itself as well. Early on in the save I had given a copy of the game file to my friend @BoxToBox to tinker around with tactics, and it turned out he still had it. I got the game file back from him, which I had last saved just after the end of my second season with Nagtoralik, the first time we had reached the outdoor national finals. This gave me a big decision to make. Continue the original save and keep all my favorite players (bar the ones who hadn't been generated by the game yet), or start anew with a clean slate and avoid overwriting my previous history? In the end, I decided to start over. I felt uneasy with the prospect of rewriting the past on my old save, even if it meant I had to let go of the generated players. And more importantly, a new start meant I had the opportunity to modify the Greenland database to my liking and expand it to include even more clubs, club history, and graphics. The details of this undertaking will be in the next post. After multiple weeks of hard work, I had an improved db ready to go, and my sights firmly focused on bringing both Greenland's indoor and outdoor trophies to Paamiut where they belong. So for any old followers of this thread and perhaps some new ones, get your dog sleds ready and prepare to... Mush! Mush! Mush!
  20. I had a career thread where I portrayed real life football managers as murderous mob bosses who engaged in all sorts of debauchery and I've never received any court papers in the mail. I did actually include an apology at the end of my story to the real people I used in it, but it was more tongue-in-cheek than me actually being worried about the possibility of someone seeing it. Go for it man, life's too short to be concerned about something like this!
