@Bartrcm in Belgium, after a holiday game(second season), the two promoted teams Berchem Sport and Cappellen are in deep red . Cappellen started with +297K (euro's) and ended the season with 622k in red (i signed all the youth intake players to those wages are added from april). That is a loss of +-920k. Berchem started with + 313K and ended at 1.356.608M . that is a loss of .1.7 M ! They signed a lot of free players (i wasn't the manager) and got promoted. I remember that i played with Aalst at FM21 , four or five seasons and the balance was fine because of a very big fanbase. I hope you (or maybe Xaw is he gets the same issue) can escalate this to the bug tracker. Did a test with Aalst: They started 30/6/23 with 403K They ended at 30/6/24 -537k. meaning a loss of 937k. So at the moment no Belgium(or i should pick Aalst) or Scotland( Braves) for me :'(

So we have again financial issues in Belgium and U23 teams are wrongly included in the cups. I would like to warn everybody about starting this save in Scotland. Last year i had a lot of issues with Caley Braves. I couldn't sign staff for my U18 , couldn't place adverts . Also not able to move players from senior of reserve team to U18 . I tested this with four teams in league two (Scotland) and all those things are not fixed !

Very nice team but are there no four tiers this year in France? After reloading them a few times i noticed promoted teams from Championnat National 3 , the 4th tier . Teams like Boulogne start in 3rd tier. Or is it because the new league structure ?

This issue isn't fix for FM23 ! saw the same thing with league two teams. Can't place adverts for U18 team, can't renew contracts, can't move players from senior or reserve team to U18

Youth only challenge not completed in below nations.

Just for fun:

Big respect for everyone that is involved with updating FM but some issues keep returning.. i'm sure this was reported many times.

Looking good ! Do you know if the league structures look fine for Belgium? more specific the rules concerning U13 / B teams in the second, third and fourth tier

If i'm correct now it should be : In the third tier = 38 games Second tier 22 regular games, 10 extra games in playoff format = 32 games. First division if you get into top 8 = 34 regular games and 6 playoff games = 40 games. After one season the first tier should end up with 16 teams in stead of 18.

This looks very very good. thank you ! Zealand himself will update his own version for this FM ?

Very special, curious now if this is a bug or something linked to this club. Don't think they had intakes like this on fm22 ?

What are the new available teams for Engeland ? Billericay is a new option , they got relegated last season. Any other that could be an option ?

And more important, will this be a save game compatible ? Starting a youth only on the beta.

Sorry i mean a long term issue for starting or 'real' game in this beta stage.

I noticed some reports about development bugs - specifically on technical attributes. Is this a real issue like we had last year and if it is.. this could be a long term problem for this challenge ?

Good luck ! Regens from my hometown Started with them three or four times but always decided to quit (first team because of data issue, second time because of financial issues).

Do you mean because of youth costs or something else ?

Good luck everybody ! i'll join soon with a new challenge in a new country (no germany or portugal or iceland for me this edition).

really important idd ! very frustrating if you notice after a few season into a save that you aren't getting a youth team.

Belgium or England for me

Love it ! Any Cape Verde's from youth intakes from my beloved Africanos ?

True and my own country Belgium is first on the list, Turkey second after I saw the very good fatih terim documentary.

Love this ! Belgium, Russia , Turkey are on my bucket list to try .
