Bigpapa42 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 On FM11, I found a DB file that opened up the lower leagues in Germany. I believe it went down to the 4th or 5th level. That was fantastic, since it allowed all the top-division reserve sides to play comeptitively. The file won't work on FM12 and I have been unable to find the same. Has anyone done one yet?

Octavianus[GER] Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is a simple file that unlocks the Regionalligen (level 4) made by myself: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wcge8s7cown0ghb This file activates the following leagues: Regionalliga Nord Regionalliga West Regionalliga Süd But further tweaking is needed. I'm not an expert in using the editor but I guess that using the Editor with advanced panels would be much more useful to fully implement the quite complicated setup next season (going up to 5 Regionalligen).

Bigpapa42 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Look forward to testing it out. I always enjoy managing in Germany, but most of the top-division clubs having no matches for the reserves always bothers me for some strange reason. So now I just need to decided between Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg... Thanks much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucasa Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah, managing a German club is like managing two different teams. You got the first team for main competition and you got the reserve team for the lower league side. Your reserve team can actually advance to tier 3, so it's great and can get competitive even for the reserve side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 1 regionalligen? But anyway there are team that will be relegated and the team going up to second div? Right? I mean, I can play using your file and it IS alright playable 3 German leagues?

The Regionalliga is 4 leagues of the same level - north, south, east, and west. As of 2012, a fifth region is being added (Bavaria). I believe what Octavianus is saying is that the file doesn't take that into account. Using the file, the Regionalliga will still be four leagues in 2012 rather than expanding to include a fith.

Octavianus[GER] Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 No. At the moment we have 3 leagues at level 4: Regionalliga Nord Regionalliga West Regionalliga Süd Next season there will be two new leagues but I cannot implement these without advanced rules. Therefore it stays in my file the old way: 3 leagues. Promotion works fine and there are also relegated teams in the Regionalliga. Teams from the lower league (mostly Oberliga-teams with high reputation) will be promoted. Another problem is the missing regionalization. Therefore there can be some teams playing in (geographically) wrong leagues for example: RW Essen playing in the north or Erfurt in south. If you don't have a problem with these restrictions everything will be fine for you. By the way. stefg has made another file for the German leagues. His file unlocks level 4 and 5. It was also created without advanced rules and follows quite the same restrictions like my file (regionalization problems; no Regionalliga reform). Normally there are also playoffs between some Oberliga teams and these aren't included too in this file.

This shouldn't be a problem though as every (as far as I've looked at least) team has a preset for which divisions to promote or relegate into. For example if you have a look at Erfurt, currently playing in the 3rd Liga, you can see that they would end up in Regionalliga Nord in case of beeing relegated. And if they'd once again get relegated they will be playing in Oberliga Nordost/ost the season after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alucasa Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I've given the 5th tier file about 20 matches as Holstein Kiel. I don't recommend anyone using it for now. There are some bugs such not being able to play in DFB-Pokal and tier 5 league tables become inactive after a while. I can tell matches are still being played there but there is no table and no position. And as for Holstein Kiel itself, I am not sure how real it is, but the club is spending way too much on wages than what its income take it in. Only at a half a season and club wallet is so deep in millions that it's not funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other team can qualify in regional cups. But it's not possible to implement this regional cups with normal editor. So KI takes team of Regional- and Oberliga randommly. 2: I've tested the file a couple of times and never had this problem with no league table shown. Some users had the same problem in last FMs, most of this problems were caused by custom-skins. 3: You get the most of your income at the END of the season. Same with all german teams!

alucasa Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My bad then. When I played Fifa manager 11 (by EA), they let all teams play DFB-pokal. Fifa manager 11 had a really detailed German lower leagues, so I played Fifa manager 11 for my german plays which put me under impression that DFB-pokal was like FA cup. Sorry about that. I know most (lower league) clubs get their income by the end of a season, but Kiel's wallet was going totally out of control. It's tier 4 league and I don't think they would get 1.5 ish million euro back. As for league table, I am not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alucasa Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hm, not sure if I want to spend a season with Kiel. When I quit Kiel season, I didn't even save because I didn't want to play any further. Kiel's wallet was deep in red of 1.5 million euro. I play low league clubs mostly, and this is is the first time I've seen such a bad financial situation. Chairman did inject cash, but only 90k euro.

The other upper league do have live tables even before starting the season. Frankly speaking, I am before 14th August(so there is a reason for not having live table), but I am afraid it won't show at the start of the season. Any explanations for this?

alucasa Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 For the best result, having down to tier 5 would be ideal since that's where most of club's reserves play.
