Dude, I am feeling your grind here. I hope you get these competitions ticked off asap!

Cavalry FC Canadian Premier League 23/24 Season I don't feel like we deserved to win the league, but we did thanks to some really weird playoff rules. This is how the table looked by the end. We started off in poor form but over the course of the season built up to a run of great form eventually finishing 2nd in the league stage which qualified us for playoffs which involved 5 teams, strangely enough not including York United FC who placed 1st in the league. FYI, the playoffs are to crown the league champions. Due to our position, we faced Atletico Ottawa in the Playoff Semi-Finals which we lost 3-2. To my surprise, we were not out yet as we then faced Halifax Wanderers in the PLAYOFF PLAYOFF semi finals winning in extra time to see us through to the Final to again face Atletico Ottawa which we won 1-0 making us league champions. Overall this was a great achievement considering the lack of support from my players throughout the entirety of the season due to my lack of reputation and experience. My board refused 2 requests to go on a coaching course so I am no better off there however my reputation increased from 5 to 10% which I guess is something. I have no idea if I have qualified for the champions league next year so I am unsure whether to stick around to have a go at the Canadian Cup which would involve facing much better Canadian teams currently competing in the MLS. Perhaps I'll move on from here. Season Team Position Notes & Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2023/24 Cavalry FC 1st? (Maybe 2nd?)

Yeah I get what you mean. Their are however folk who embrace the grind in these kind of challenges, so it is nice to know it is still around for the few. Perhaps an alternative challenge to run parallel with would be to run lets say a 10 or 15 year challenge which allows you to accumulate points based on certain achievements in this challenge? For example, 40 points for being the manager of a 4 star club. 50 points for a 5 star club. 30 points for winning a nations top league. yadda yadda yadda.

Unlucky man! How do you find it in the latter stages when you are trying to tick the last few boxes? Are you still motivated and enjoying it? Or has it turned into a chore?

In the land of maple leaves and icy chill, Joseph Brown, a newbie on the managerial hill, took the reins at Cavalry FC, oh so green, folks raised eyebrows, a sight rarely seen. With questions swirling like a winter storm's gust, will Joseph's leadership rise, or be lost in the dust? Time will unveil this footballing quest, as Joseph proves he's more than just a hopeful guest. - Thank you ChatGPT.

Alrighty, lets so how this goes then!

Are you able to see why they all oppose you? Is their a particular reason other than your inexperience?

For the purpose of developing applications. For example it would be good to connect to a save and be able to access players statistics for the season. Basically looking at a way to streamline the Moneyball methodology as exporting data and handling it all in excel is a huge pain in the arse. It wouldn't require hidden attributes etc as I wouldn't want to step on the Editors toes, but basically information that can already be seen in game such as a players Tackles per 90, Key Passes per 90 etc. This would then become a developers playground to do interesting things with all the statistics that become available externally.

I will join you the second I get the sack

I'm very excited to try this challenge again on the new game! Just beginning with a Hartlepool United save to get back into the game and to wait for any challenge breaking bugs to show themselves before beginning this challenge. I might begin sooner rather than later though despite going unbeaten in my first 10 league games at Hartlepool as the new consortium who bought the club intend on implementing a specific manager :'(
