V1.05 Update In this update, I have implemented U-23 reserve leagues to both simulate youth teams and replace the NCAA. Please know they are NOT playable as that was never my intention. Also, 30 new clubs have been added, and ALL regional leagues now have 20 teams each. This update will most likely be the last major one for FM24. From now on, any future update will focus on making minor fixes or quality-of-life improvements. As always, please let me know if you find any issues. Be sure to redownload the logo pack as well. Changes Made: - Implemented U-23 reserve leagues for every division. - Added 30 new clubs to the structure (see teams list on front page). - Rebranded The Villages SC to Brave SC. - Rebranded South Bend Lions SC to Michiana FC. - Rebranded Oly Town Artesians to FC Olympia. - Fixed the error where history was showing up twice in USCH, USL1, and USL2 (my mistake). - Updated the logo pack for V1.05.

If you started a new save on or after this past Tuesday and noticed some logos were missing, that was not my fault. SI's 24.4 data update caused some of the unique IDs to be changed again. I have now fixed them and reuploaded the logo pack, so they should all be correct now. Let me know if there's anything that I missed. Also, while I have you here, I'll give my plans for the next update. My goal is to add reserve competitions for every league. The structure will probably mirror the main structure, but I'm not sure if promotion/relegation works out the same way. It may be the case where the reserve team gets "promoted" whenever the main team moves up. I've never created them before, so I'll have to experiment to see what works. Additionally, I want to fill out the Regional Leagues to get all of them to have 20 teams each. Give me a few weeks or so, and I should have the next update out for you. Thanks.

Not necessarily, but I'd recommend it for the best playing experience.

V1.04 Update Continental Competitions are finally here! I have added 4, and they're similar to the real-life CONCACAF club competitions. I also added additional staff members and removed the NCAA as mentioned above. Be sure to redownload the logo pack! If you don't, the logos will be messed up! NOTE: IF I decide to add them, reserve leagues will be in a future update. I'm still undecided on how I'm implement them, so I've decided to wait until I test a couple different methods. Changes Made: - Added Continental Competitions - Removed the NCAA division, teams, and conferences - Updated logo pack for V1.04 - Removed my created versions of Rhode Island FC and Brooklyn FC (replaced by the pre-existing versions of them in-game that were added in the winter update) - Modified the pre-existing versions of Rhode Island FC and Brooklyn FC

No, this is a fictional database. There haven't been any drafts or complex salary rules.

Hi, happy Friday everyone! Thanks to a couple people’s advice, I have now got the continental competitions to show up in game! There’s still a few things I need to do before the update drops, but we are on the right track. I’m hoping (not promising but hoping) to get the update out by Sunday night. I will be working on it this weekend. Also, I’ve decided not to have a file with NCAA at all. It’d be a hassle to maintain two separate versions of the database, so I’m going to cut my losses. It seems that most people wanted continental competitions, so that’s the direction we’re going.

Hello! Happy Easter to those who are celebrating it. Just here to provide a quick update. I will need a bit more time for the continental competitions as I'm having trouble getting them to show up in the game. I'm still actively working trying to fix the problem, but I have also reached out to someone for help as well. I'm not experienced with them, so I'm unsure if I'm doing anything wrong. I was hoping to get them done this weekend, but that may not happen, unfortunately. I apologize for the delay. I know some of you are eagerly waiting for them. Thanks for your understanding. EDIT: I also discovered something that I didn't notice for the longest time. I accidentally had UPSL for the USPL logo. I've got it fixed now, so you can redownload the logo pack. It kind of bugs me that I missed that, but oh well.

My plans are to have them similar to the real life ones. I can try to expand the teams list a bit, but I don’t plan for the comps to be too extensive.

Is it possible? Yes. Am I going to be the one to do it? Unfortunately, no. Sorry, I know you’ve been wanting a realistic DB with NCAA. I just don’t want to stray away from doing pro/rel.

I initially wanted to add NCAA Divisions 2 and 3 into the database. I actually had all the teams and conferences all created. The problem was going to be that players weren’t going to generate into the divisions, making it pointless to play. For the NCAA Division 1, it is using the USL League Two divisions, which are hardcoded to have players generated in the first year. That’s the only way we have been able to type of NCAA division. Otherwise, we’d have to use the other real life leagues and modify their teams.

Alright, it seems we have a consensus to add continental competitions. I'll try to get them done as soon as I can, which will probably be this weekend. It just depends on how fast I get done with my homework this week. Thanks for your responses.

With all due respect, this is a fictional database. If you’re looking for pro/rel between the real life structures, this isn’t the one for you. I have no problems with you moving around teams if that’s what you want to do, though. To answer your question, I don’t know without looking at your file to see what you have done. You can send me your file via a private message, and I can take a quick look at it. However, please understand that I am a very busy individual, and I won’t be able to extensively help you. Thanks. EDIT: It's hard to read emotions through text, so I just wanted to put this clarification out there. I wasn't offended by the statement that my structure didn't make sense, which is why I put "with all due respect". I don't mind if anyone wants to change the structure to what they want it to be. Instead, I just figured that he may be looking for a pro/rel database with a more realistic structure.

Follow-up to Previous Announcements I apologize for the radio silence this past week. I had a big assignment that I spent an extensive amount of time on. Anyways, let’s get right into business. As mentioned previously, I was working on the new update with continental comps and reserve leagues. I honestly didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped to. I also discovered some potentially bad news: The editor is having conflicts with the NCAA when I try to add continental competitions. Because of these conflicts, I will not be able to add continental competitions UNLESS I remove the NCAA. Now, there’s two paths I can take. I can either forget continental comps completely, OR I can make a file without NCAA that includes them. To clarify, I can still have a file with NCAA, but there will be an extra file without NCAA that has continental comps. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Hoping to hear from multiple people before I make a decision. Thanks.

It's showing up for me. That's what I have in the config file.

Important Announcements If you downloaded the logo pack and V1.03 of my database before this post, you will find this information useful. SI's 24.3 data update caused the unique IDs of many teams and competitions in my database to be changed. Because of this, a lot of logos weren't showing up. The change in IDs was something that flew over my head when I released the V1.03 update (rookie mistake). Anyways, I have now updated the logo pack, so everything should be correct now. If you see anything wrong that I missed, please let me know. Additionally, I will be working on the new update for the next few days. I have a little more free time due to spring break, so I want to get some things done. I'm hoping to add continental competitions and reserve leagues. I won't give a specific release date but know that I am working on it. Lastly, if you find any issues, please let me know ASAP. Also, feel free to leave any questions or comments you may have. I try to check the forums everyday, so that I can respond quickly. As always, thanks for your patience.
