If you're using the winter update then the new one, if you're using the vanilla db use the old one. It will not conflict with anything outside of CONCACAF

The rule is that no club can have multiple teams in the same division, so if the first team was in L1O Championship, and their reserve team wins L2O, the reserve team will remain in L2O.

weird, should be. Clicking that blue download button should work ->

You could just delete all the other changes through the editor, especially the rules, and use the file. Also don't activate the continental file.

Too swamped to test, but I've fixed all the issues with the winter update and uploaded a new file compatible with that.

As others said, Saskatoon bid has completely collapsed with the investor pulling out. Windsor, while still pretty unrealistic in my view and more than likely a face saving move for the departing Ex commissioner, is still a public bid with named investors. As for Kelowna, many reliable sources have indicated that they are ready to join in 2025 and the commissioner has confirmed we will have 10 teams that season

Yep. Will add we soon as announced

Seems like it is indeed the CanChamp runner-up that gets in if the winner already has a spot. So, I reverted back to the old format. https://www.mediafire.com/file/n6tfrb20mrmk1u2/CanadianMegapatch24.0.3.zip/file

I was certain that in the event that a CPL club occupies a CCC qualification slot from both the league and the Canadian Championship, it goes to the next runner-up in the Can Champ... but looking at the CONCACAF regulations it seems pretty ambiguous which rule takes precedence: https://stconcacafwp001.blob.core.windows.net/media/atwi3fxa/2024-concacaf-champions-cup-regulations-eng.pdf

Wait, how do you set a neutral venue for only specific fixtures within a cup round but not others?

Yea, that's what I did.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/1l2qxot8z7j33ws/CanadianMegapatch24.0.2.zip/file Ok, hopefully this one is close to final release. Got rid of CCL and other CONCACAF tournaments in the continental file since it looks like vanilla finally got it right. Did the geographic draw @themodelcitizen suggested. Fixed the 2024 issue.

So for 2024, I was able to replicate the 2023 draw based on these pots, and 2025 it goes to regional (your method sounds more elegant though instead of using seeds to do it, so I'll try that out) Pot A1 Pot A2 Pot B1 Pot B2 Pot C Pot D Pacific FC TSS FC Rovers Cavalry FC Valour FC Vancouver FC Forge FC York United FC CF Montréal Atlético Ottawa HFX Wanderers FC FC Laval Vaughan Azzurri Toronto FC Vancouver Whitecaps FC

ahhh,,, hold on... CPL 2025 season not generating ... weird this didn't come up when I used the editor test feature... and only seemed to happen when I start the game from 2024 season Update: Ok, yea when I tried a sim that started in 2023, the 2025 season popped up fine. I guess I could just get rid of the 2024 start option, but any clue why it's doing that? My guess: starting in 2024 messes up L1O prem and champ since it doesn't allow for the team redistributions to fill out those leagues, because I noticed if that if I set start date to 2024 in the editor testing module it also breaks, with a lot of errors regarding L1O teams. Update: Forgot to copy over Mastermind's inactive L1O C competition. Doing that fixed it

https://www.mediafire.com/file/4q2u1pwbfcd8cq6/CanadianMegapatch24.0.1.zip/file (disregard, this one is broken) With all of @themodelcitizen's suggested change, except I might've run out of time (until end of the month) to add the reserve divisions. (If someone else wanted to add it to the file though feel free!) Still needs more testing, but I am excited I was about to figure out geographic draw for Can Champ with longitudinal sort. The tricky thing was because the L1C teams aren't geographically specific (i.e. you could get the BC and Alberta team and one of the East teams, or the other way around). The compromise was that I had 7 West-most MLS+CPL clubs drawn against each other, with the West-most L1C; and the two East-most L1C with the Eastern teams. Unfortunately, it does mean that a L1AB team could potentially get drawn on the East-side of the bracket, but my logic too was that since there's more MLS clubs in the East, it kind of evens out in terms of handicap for CPL clubs.

Oh right. Ok, let's do that and hope it doesn't break anything else

How does it handle playoffs though? Doesn't premiership just disappear for the playoffs?

I think I did real fixtures last year too, but the game for some reason always scrambled 5-6 of the matchups so it was never fully in the right order

You caught me, I was being lazy and didn't want to 'un-extinct' the team. Will work through the other things need fixing before considering that.

Oh yea, modelcit mentioned this edit to me. Very smart

That's so weird. I checked in game that L1BC participates. I'll double check Keep in mind that after 2025, only the two l1canada (ie. Interprovincial tournament) finalists and 3rd place team qualify for Canadian championship as we have two CPL expansion teams

@SaintsCanada @themodelcitizen @EnigMattic1 @kandersson @magicmastermind124 Here's what I have so far, incorporating the excellent L1O split from Saints' file, but still debating whether to include the reserve leagues too. Unfortunately I don't have time to do much testing, but if you folks wanted to give it a spin before I release this properly! https://www.mediafire.com/file/e55zub1dh47ojfp/CanadianMegapatch24.zip/file

The Canadian Megapatch revamps the Canadian football pyramid in Football Manager 24, with a plethora of changes that improves the accuracy of the Canadian Premier League, the Voyageurs Cup, and relevant continental competitions. The goal is realism. Leagues belonging to League1 Canada (L1O Prem; L1O Champ; L1BC, L1AB Exhibition Series, L1Q) are also added as playable leagues, alongside journalists, coaches, USports/provincial league teams. Scroll down for an extended list of changes.

The quality of newgens have also been improved for those leagues -Windsor and Kelowna joins as expansion teams in 2025, with Saskatoon removed League1 Canada -Thanks to magicmastermind124, SaintsCanada, and themodelcitizen, L1O league split in 2024 now reflects in game performances from the 2023 season CONCACAF League/Champions League/Leagues Cup -Correct CONCACAF League qualifications from CanPL/V-Cup -Canadian MLSNP teams now sign Canadians Canadian Championship -Canadian Championship now correctly includes PLSQ champion, which was previously left out -L1BC champion and expansion teams also added for 2023 -L1C champion qualifies from 2024 onward

Yep the silly Liverpool name. I'll have to fix that
