No it doesn't work. That's my go to rule .. but what happens as I said is that teams still sign like 20 americans but fail to register them, so then the squad sizes are like 18. If it prevented signing Americans, I can at least live with AI filling out the roster with their own newgens, but that doesn't work either because the youth pathway for MLS is completely broken in FM.

If you just mean regional/national transfer preferences and not a ban, no it doesn't work unfortunately. I've tried it ... at least in previous iterations of the game. Maybe I'll try it again. Also, I don't think those transfer preferences affect clubs that are only based in a nation but registered elsewhere. Update: Yea still doesn't work putting US player transfers at limited
-
There is no IRL limit. When you say restrict, you mean through league rules? I almost always change my MLS rules to require at least 22 Canadians in the roster. Unfortunately, AI is terrible at following that, so what happens is they sign many many Americans that just get left unregistered and they make do with a tiny 18 man squad.

The issue isn't newgens, the issue is the players that the AI manager signs. Newgens will still reflect the country the club is based in. And it really destroys the immersion since the game doesn't really consider based nation as domestic (outside of the rules). What I mean is I've managed Cardiff before and signed predominantly Welsh players, but then I keep getting news entries saying I favour international players. The better example might be atletic bilbao only signing Basque players.. but ya that's hard coded. So many have tried to replicate it unsuccessfully. I've tried everything, from transfer preferences to club objectives. The only thing that works is moving a club back to a Canadian division. I mean there's also the very imperfect solution of making MLS, MLSNP a 'continental competition' with the clubs registered to a dummy division of their respective nations, but that messes with other things.

now that's thinking outside of the box. I wonder if it's possible to put TFC II and WFC II into this mixed region, but set it as no youth intake so avoiding the dual nats .... but ah I guess it also means any player signed will eventually gain American citizenship and also doesn't guarantee that AI signs predominantly Canadians
-
I don't see why it'd break the hardcoded academy pipeline seeing as it's broken to start off with. At best, players going directly from academy to first team... so even if MLSNP gets messed up, either way those players don't go through there, and retain their HG status. But yes, I put them in a phantom division and when that happens they sign 90% Canadians like IRL. Problem still there using Saint's file. This is in 2026:
-
So in the vanilla version, TFC II operates on American AI logic so replaces all its players with Americans, and because the youth development model for MLS in FM is broken, no youth go from academy to MLSNP teams. My stopgap measure is to put the two Canadian MLSNP team in a Canadian division, that solves the AI problem but obviously breaks things if combined with an American file.
-
In terms of where it's at right now. It seems like I've got all the rules working. I have also updated journalists and fixed their facepack. So, it's just a few final touches .. should be ready by the end of the week? The only thing is I don't have much time for testing, so will have to rely on folks here to let me know about bugs and format issues.

Canadian Premier League is a 5 sub league

New update and the editor

Same with my CONCACAF file... -
It's unverifiable unless FCE (and ofcourse my now duplicate van fc) is removed - because of some hardcoding they did with the Canadian Championship. It's really annoying that the continental competitions (which Can Champ counts as because of the 3 MLS clubs) have to be in a separate file so I can't fix it by changing that competition. I haven't yet released a fix, because unfortunately since the winter update, my file even if I fix the verification issue has been crashing consistently in 2029. I am still troubleshooting, but the good thing is that now L1Alberta has been announced I can fit that in too before re-releasing. Will keep people posted.
