rancer890 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Welcome to the 5th season of rancer890's FM12 Small Club to Big Club Asian Challenge! From the humble beginnings in FM08 to now, I would like to firstly thank everyone who participated in my challenge throughout the years to get this challenge to where it is today. Now like FM10 and FM11, you can now manage all across Asia with the inclusion of the competitions editor. Like all the other Small Club to Big Club Challenges (dafuge's, LLR/rlipscombe/iacovone, Razer's), your goal is to take a previously unplayable team in Asia and guide them Champions of Asia and Champions of the world. It was a bit of a down year in the FM11 thread so hopefully there is increased interest in the FM12 thread. The Aim To take a small club who where previously unplayable in the game from the lower leagues to win a Domestic title, the Asian Champions League, the Club World Championship. You will also have the option to venture into international management to lead your selected nation to global glory once you have achieved the first three accomplishments stated above. The setup: Leagues you are allowed to use, and the reputation of the highest tier league of the specified country (values accurate as of FM11 and subject to change once FM12 is released): Australia - 105 Bahrain - 62 China - 94 Hong Kong - 37 India - 37 Indonesia - 60 Iran - 98 Iraq - 62 Japan - 118 Jordan - 60 Kuwait - 72 Lebanon - 52 Malaysia - 42 Maldives - 29 Oman - 55 Qatar - 95 Saudi Arabia - 113 Singapore - 47 South Korea - 110 Syria - 65 Thailand - 63 United Arab Emirates - 102 Uzbekistan - 80 Vietnam - 49 Yemen - 44 Please note that Australia, Singapore, and South Korea (and few more of the new leagues I think) don't have relegation/promotion. Australia and Singapore have one tier, while there will eventually be a relegation spot in the K-League to the N-League (depends how SI codes promotion/relegation in South Korea this year). If you decide to try those leagues, holiday a year and then you must take over the team with the worst record in the lowest playable league with a promotion spot to the top tier in the specific country. Or in South Korea's case, holiday until there's promotion/relegation and choose the team with the worst record that's not Gwangju (because they are the military team and therefore can only load players). In Singapore there are several satellite clubs (like Beijing (S)) and Etiole FC who are not eligible for the ACL, so therefore you cannot manage them. In Australia, I think you can still get to the ACL with the Wellington Phoenix in FM so if they're the worst after the first season you can take over after the first season. XML Files These will be added once I find some files (or make them myself which is highly unlikely. At most the only one I'll make is China)...mainly the needed ones are in West Asia. You cannot use an xml file without telling me about it first however in this thread. Please add these files to the following directory -> My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2012/editor data If the folder doesn't exist, just create a new one. And then just start a new game as usual. Japan - link - start with one of the worst Regional League 1 teams but this file has no players. And click here for the real Japanese leagues db with real players and realistic league structure. LINK DOESN'T WORK Japan - link Various Asian leagues - link - Iranian league is available! Getting Started Load a game with all available divisions in your selected nation (NOTE: I will also allow other leagues to be loaded but they can only be view only. From personal experience it does get a bit too easy with only one league and view only will give you a few more players to choose from. But nonetheless I will allow this option. If you go through with this option you still must load the starting date in the country you want to initially complete the challenge in) Large database is recommended (Medium and small are allowed though) Attribute masking must be enabled. Add yourself as unemployed manager, and then go on holiday until the league reset-date. You are allowed to use fake players if you wish. You can load players from any continent. League reset dates (Accurate as of FM11) Australia - not applicable Bahrain China - January 20th Hong Kong - August 1st India - July 15th Indonesia - June 1st Iran Iraq Japan - January 20th Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Malaysia - December 14th Maldives - November 20th Oman Qatar Saudi Arabia - July 10th Singapore - not applicable South Korea - December 27th Syria Thailand United Arab Emirates - July 20th Uzbekistan - January 15th Vietnam - December 19th Yemen And then retire your manager. Create a new manager and his reputation must be set at Sunday league footballer, or Automatic if you can't find the Sunday league footballer option. Your manager nationality is up to you. Take over one of the newly promoted club(s) in your selected nation. Check the club's history of league positions, it should be blank. It doesn't really matter which club you choose, although some club are easier than others. It is now up to you to lead your team to domestic and Champions League glory. This is, however, a bit different than Dafuge's, Gundo's, or JoseRR's Challenge. It's something that I always felt gives the player a bit more to push on through because it really does push you to try and be the best in the world. There is an international element to this challenge. Like last year, there is a domestic challenge only version and the original domestic/international challenge component. Domestic Challenge Take your club to Domestic Glory. Take over a newly promoted club and win your domestic league. Cups don't matter. Step 1 done. Take your club to Continental Glory. Win the Asian Champions League. Step 2 done. Take your club to Global Glory. Win the Club World Championship. Challenge complete. Domestic and International Challenge Take your club to Domestic Glory. Take over a newly promoted club and win your domestic league. Cups don't matter. Step 1 done. Take your club to Continental Glory. Win the Asian Champions League. Step 2 done. Take your club to Global Glory. Win the Club World Championship. Step 3 done. Take your country to Global Glory. Win your Regional Tournament and the World Cup. Challenge complete. For those who only want to do the domestic challenge, only steps 1 to 3 are necessary. Those challengers who want to participate in the domestic/international challenge will have to complete all 4 steps. Because of some concerns about when your country will actually have a vacant manager position, I decided to alter the rules a bit for those who are in the domestic/international challenge: You can take the international job of your selected country at anytime. If you do not get the international job 5 years after you complete step 3, you are allowed to create a new manager to take over the job. However, you MUST retire your original manager. Once you finish all the steps in the specific challenge (domestic or domestic/international), congratulations, you have made Asian football a force to be reckoned with around the world. Rules You are not permitted to move between clubs unless you are sacked; If you get sacked, you can either take over a newly promoted club that meets the original challenge criteria (check the club's league history), or if you fancy trying out a new country, you don't have to start a new save. You simply just load whatever Asian country you want to try this challenge in and give this challenge another go. However, you have to either make the other country view-only (if that's possible) or remove it entirely. You must complete the steps in order. However, you can manage your club and country together if you wish. There are no restrictions on parent/feeder clubs. No FMRTE or FM mini scout either. Of course, I can't exactly know whether you're cheating or not, but all you're lying to is yourself. You can, of course, edit in the names of real competitions and clubs. Update Style I really don't care how you update your saves, but the bare minimum is an end of season update after every season. You can either write it out or post a video on Youtube. It doesn't matter as long as you (the challenger) is comfortable with the style you're posting. And most importantly, have fun and GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

kabajingai Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 In China, promotion/relegation from the first division is decided by a playoff so you have to save before the final matchday, which I think is the 29th of October. edit: this is scrapped the season after. So ignore if you decided to start from 2011 instead. edit edit: Its quite clearly messed up. The number of teams goes from 14 to 16 rendering the playoff system useless.

Spleen! Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 If anyone loads up the Indonesian league, can you post what the league system is like this year? It should have changed a bit. There was a breakaway league earlier this year, and the old Super League appears to have folded - as far as I can tell, the top flight is now the Premier Division, with 24 teams in it.

Nottingham Forest Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I feel sad . I wanted to achieve something spectacular for FM12 by completing all challenges or attempting too that are in the CSE. Having read the rules of this thread, it seems that dafuge's, LLR's, Gundo's and yours don't interlock, only just though as dafuge's save requires you to use a customised database with the three feeder divisions that go into the BSS/BSN. rancer, do you think that you could make an exception? The time it will probably take me to complete dafuge's, LLR's and Gundo's challenge and it will probably minimise the effect on the save hopefully. I planned on managing in South Korea as on FM11 I enjoyed my save only to be hit by a bug which made me leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too sure what exception you really want...all of our challenges in the CSE forum were never meant to interlock... I have been more lenient than the other challenges in allowing other leagues to be even loaded and my rules are a bit different than the other SC2BC challenges (more closely related to Razer's challenge more than anyone else). EDIT: I have now linked a file to the Japanese leagues in the OP. I haven't tested it yet (will test soon), but AFAIK there are no real players.

The Second Phase was a bit easier, only 1 draw this time! The Final was nerve-racking it was 0-0 until the 91st minute when Gatot Eko breaks the deadlock for us, that must be the winner I thought....I was wrong, in the 93rd minute they equalized with the last kick, neither team could break the deadlock in Extra Time so we edged them out 5-4 on pens!

The first award is in early with Thiago getting on the bench in the Team of the Year, Kinnah Oluoch getting 3rd place in the League Cup Top Goalscorer, we were also the runner-ups in the Fair Play.

The cups were pretty much identical as the previous year, 1st round in the Senior shield, group stage in the League cup and a small improvement in the FA Cup by reaching the semi-finals. In the award section we manged to get two players in the first division Team of the Year.

Winning the league means that we're gonna compete in the confederation Cup the following season.

ShootTheRunner Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Melbourne Victory FC 2012 - 2013 A-League: 6th Finals Series: Minor Final Struggled a lot in the early parts of the season with no quality up front and a pretty weak defence. We managed to strengthen up the defence a little with a few free transfers and also signed Brazilian striker Reinaldo back to the A-League from Al-Ahli for £22k. After that we began to really push ourselves up the league table and looked like grabbing a top 3 finish had our form not dipped towards the end of the season. The finals series was really used to give some youth a chance, I don't see it as an important competition. Next season targets: Challenge for 1st place. Sign a quality striker. Help Anthony Williams and Joso Setka progress as much as possible (both 5 star potential).

ShootTheRunner Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Melbourne Victory FC 2013 - 2014 A-League: 1st Finals Series: Runner-up This was an easier season than I expected, though I believe this is because of the signing of Odafe Onyeke Okolie, an old favourite of mine from my times at Salgaocar . The Finals Series was a massive disappointment after beating my big Melbourne rivals in the semi finals, then having so many chances in the final and conceding the only goal due to sloppy defensive work. My project of developing Australian youngsters has been going very well this season, in particular Anthony Williams who I can definitely see in the Australian squad in a couple of years time. Also, Leonardo Ziada has been progressing nicely, don't be fooled by his attributes. He's been performing fantastically and I'm confident he can replace Harry Kewell now that he has retired. Finally, we'll be looking forward to Champions League football next season .
