Bigpole Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I took different approach to my file due to editor limits (can not create 8th and 9th level due to (too much) number of child competitions). I have created myself a new plan for work, played with editor so I'm now more familiar with options and possible tweaks to this file. I'll be fully commited till summer (research for fm20 starts) so expect regular updates regarding this database. And all changes in league competitions are done in basic rules (unless there's a note in changelog that I've switched to advanced rules) DOWNLOAD FROM MEDIAFIRE CHANGELOG First Division (2nd March) - deducted 3 points from Stomil Olsztyn (2nd March) Second Division (2nd March) - activated (2nd March) - deducted 2 points from GKS Bełchatów (2nd March) - set correct Dates/Break Period (2nd March) - set match/squad/substitution rules (2nd March) - set league sorting rules (2nd March) Third Division (2nd March) - activated (2nd March) - set correct Dates/Break Period (Group 1 season end date was moved due to clash with season update day) (2nd March) - set match/squad/substitution rules (2nd March) - disabled B/reserve team promotion (reserve teams are overpowered as always) (2nd March) - set league sorting rules (2nd March) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpole Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Update Details Almost 5000 clubs created Most clubs are created from scratch, kits from Ekstraklasa to 4th division are real, from Klasa Okręgowa to Klasa C have randomized colors (unless I've found real kits). Teams are professional and semi-professional (3rd and 4th division) and amateur (few clubs in 4th division and all teams in levels below). Reputation are set along with researcher guidelines (to ensure real strength of clubs). Few extinct clubs were activated due to them being active in lower division (no point of creating new club), and reputation set accordingly. Finances and supporters weren't touched. Stadiums are real named, attendances are set if known (division average if not known), facilities level were set accordingly to polish/world scale. NO PLAYERS WERE ADDED. Around 4800 cities/towns and stadiums created I thought about creating all cities in Poland but it's pointless because more 'blank' Cities without clubs would add only 'birth variety' when youth intake comes. All cities have inhabitants range set, along with latitude/longitude (haven't set them for stadiums). Stadiums are set in 99% cases as council owned, capacity and seating capacity are set if known. 374 competitions created All senior levels and divisions were created. Regional boundaries are not set because I have good relationship with setting regional division to individual clubs. Minimum/Maximum teams are usually 10-20 because it's not possible to set 100% correct dynamic relegation and if clubs have been moved from division to division - it's always the closest division to correct one (to ensure no big financial loses due to traveling). REGIONAL CUPS WERE NOT CREATED (but they will be, no worries) New affiliations [WIP] If there's such note or information in newspaper/website, such collaboration is set. Most partnerships are for loaning youth/sharing scouting or sharing grounds (if clubs are from same or near city). Polish letters in cities [WIP] There are no polish letters in first/second name but they are in polish clubs. But not in polish cities. And because around 300 cities are easier to change only cities will be edited, and local regions. Regional divisions set In Poland there are 16 voivodeships, some are bigger and some are smaller. So one of my priorities is to set real promotion/relegation divisions to add depth and reality to this file. Weirdly in other files I've tried, number of clubs in division is so strict, it can just move your club from west to east (I even saw that in some threads in Career Updates). F.A.Q Why this file is so big? Number of changes is enormous, I've tried to 'compress' and reduce number of changes and still there are more (and will be) than 50,000 changes to the file. Why loading your file is taking so long? Look above and adding to that, there are not many other editor files with that many changes and added divisions so loading my file will take some time. But no more than 15-20 minutes I promise. Why editing this file take you so much time? Even though I have much spare time, I need to divide this time not to become bored or discouraged. If there is progress with file - I'll post this. If there's problem or I need to take a break - I'll post this as well. Will you add players to the teams? I had plans to add at least Third Division players (the missing ones of course) but I don't have the time to scout them and transfer them or add history. But maybe if we find more people to do research in Third Division, we'll add fourth division players to vanilla database. But one can only hope. Future plans for this file and FM20 version - adding youth leagues - creating fantasy regional divisions (have all 9th levels playable with only little tweaks to competitions) - creating logos for clubs and competitions - creating polish national and regional media (without journalists) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpole Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 4 Liga (5th level) should be released around this weekend 10/11.11 so stay tuned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpole Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm quite proud of this - 3rd season and only 2 teams are in wrong divisions (each of 4 groups contains 4 voivodeships) - KKS Kalisz was in correct II group and was moved probably due to too many teams from one voivodeship. Kalisz lies infact quite close to lodzkie voivodeship (west border of I group) so won't be much problem with travelling so I'm happy - Warta Gorzów Wlkp should be in III group (dont be misguided by name, Gorzów is in lubuskie voivodeship) but was moved to II group due to the same problem as in Kalisz case I guess, but it's even closer to the south border of II group so I'm happy as well. I've checked 5th level and it all looks very promising indeed - spent my entire morning tweaking regional borders and evening testing it. Small mistake can occur because editor don't have ability to be 100% accurate with promoting/relegating teams to correct divisions (and it's even harder because in real life is dynamic relegation which is quite tricky to implement fully (I guess all divisions must be active). The only problem I think is with II/reserve teams - yes, they are op as always. Lowering reputation of course doesn't work so probably I'll block them from promoting to Second Division (3rd level) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpole Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 24.11 update (link in 1st post) - corrected kits for 18/19 season (90% of 5th level, the rest will be done by end of the month due to lack of time) - Raw beta version of Klasa Okręgowa (6th level) should be done by the end of the month (only teams created and regional division and city set, without kits, crests, stadiums set) - when 5th level is done, I'll be doing polish media (newspapers, bookies, websites) - If 6th level won't be giving bugs, I'll do regional cups (all 16, with prizes). - I'm thinking about logopack for clubs and competitions but it's my lowest priority right now. - I'll try to gather information about affiliations and links between clubs to create even more depth. - Basic youth competitions are in the game already but I'm thinking about expanding them but this is low priority either. - polish letters (cities and clubs only) will be in next release, I'm not using any fix so if you won't be seeing polish names - fix would be the problem, not my update.

I did an in-game simulation for 3 seasons and promotions/relegations were 95% correct (teams in 6th level sometimes are going to wrong subdivision but they don't 'change' voivodeship). Few teams in silesia are based in lesser poland cities/towns but they are promoted/relegated to their respective silesian sub-divisions. It's hard to get any info on stadiums below 5th level so I'd probably set the same capacity but change attendance according to the size of city (lower league clubs from biggest cities will have bigger attendance but not by much).
