With the playoffs should just be a case of checking the fixtures and results on a particular league seeing who played each other and then where each team finished.

phnompenhandy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Dan, I saw this from Kubi in a bugs thread: Quote There is another bug I discovered in that file. If you load and test it, you will see that teams are no more in regional divisions after the second season, they are randomly set to a div. If you untick in the league setting: Use regional Division to organize teams The clubs are assigned to the right division over all seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grff Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The only I ran for two seasons but had few issues.... Billinghurst u21's were relegated despite finishing 4th. The North West Counties league have very high attendances. The last one is Man City showing as top of the finances but then no other league teams showing.

Is there any way to cut the leagues out I don't need so that it runs faster? I only need Middx County D1 leagues and their promotion path to National South (Middx County Prem, Combined Counties D1/Prem, Isthmian D1/Prem) - keeping all of step 7 but blocking relegation from Northern/Southern leagues. I've tried doing it myself making all other leagues inactive and having nothing but problems with getting the numbers right for promotion/relegation.

Greyfriars Bobby Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I enjoyed this database for FM16, and I'm glad to see you've updated it for this version, too. I've had fun managing several smaller English teams in the past--Wantage, Bishop Auckland, Diss Town, Rugby, Kendal. The "worst" thing about a database like this one is deciding where to begin my career! Thanks for your good work, Dan. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Zorc Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 On 4 October 2016 at 19:13, Dan BHTFC said: Once again I am creating the biggest English database available to play, I'm hoping to add more playable leagues to this database. Hi Dan, Thanks for your wonderful work on this - about to download the file and hopefully start what will become a very long career save with your excellent database expansion. Are you able to give us a brief list of changes you made to the database for this file, sort of like a change list? Was it just a case of adding required teams, leagues, divisions, cups and competition rules? How far in-depth does the file go and are there any other changes made? For example, are correct team colours (home and away) and stadium names/capacities also included in your file? For all the competitions that are simulated in your file (I realise some are left out due to the size of the pyramid), can we expect the same promotion/relegation/playoff structures as real life and are the cups simulated using the same real life rules and formats too? Also, are you aware of whether last year's FM all-seater stadium bug has been rectified this year - the one where overall capacity was reduced to the level of seating capacity only after a certain period/trigger? And, do teams stick within the regional boundaries over time or have you had certain specific issues with any particular teams or leagues? Finally, do clubs have the correct professional/semi-pro/amateur statuses set? I vaguely remember an issue with FM16 that was causing some contract (perhaps non-contract?) problems in lower level non-league saves and not sure if this has been addressed by the game developers for this year's FM17 version? The reason I ask much of this is because I am just looking for a file that does the basics of non-league really well - and realistically - without focusing on any non-related added details like international team histories etc. For example, there was one file last year that introduced a cosmetic bug into the game (empty league tables showing at start of season) by fiddling with the league fixture date announcements (rather than just leave on auto, or whatever the default was, to avoid annoying people with the bug, as it would not have been a big deal in terms of realism to leave it out and eliminate the hassle over something so unimportant) and it was just unnecessary in my view. I have a feeling your file is different (in the good way I am looking for) so I'm thinking and hoping it will be my "go-to" non-league database. Thanks again! Can't wait to start playing!

I certainly will and I am, of course, grateful for Dan's efforts. There may, however, be some questions that only Dan could answer though, as he was the only one (to my knowledge) working on, and making changes to, this excellent file. If he has time to answer, it would be greatly appreciated. Or, is there actually a way to go into the Editor and find a list of changes that have been made to the original database? If so, I'd be grateful to anyone who could point me in that direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yes, when you put the file in the editor, on the left menu is 'database changes'. Dan's made over 30,000 but with this editor you can analyse the changes by category, e.g. specific division or club. Apart from studying the file in the editor, I think all of us here are either holidaying or playing a first season to check for issue - being his beta testers if you like.

Dan BHTFC Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 That's a lot of questions!

grff Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 @Michael Zorc you should be able to run a quick holiday for a few seasons if you have any concerns. That way you can see how the file plays out. Set up the Icelandic league as playable and the English leagues as view only. Rather than loading the English leagues as playable as this will slow down processing. Hole that helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
