[FM19] Canadian Megapatch 2019

[yellowsweatygorilla]

After being unable to fix the steam workshop issue, I have uploaded the Canadian Megapatch for FM19 to http://yellowsweatygorilla.com/2019/02/28/canadian-megapatch-2019/

The Canadian Megapatch adds the Canadian pyramid to Football Manager 19, with the forthcoming Canadian Premier League, an expanded Voyageurs Cup, League 1 Ontario, and Première Ligue de soccer du Québec. Over 1000 players, coaches, referees, and journalists have been added! This is in addition to 3d kits and logos!

 

If you want a more expansive CONCACAF region, with dynamic reputation (ie. Canadian Premier League will grow or fall in relation to other leagues in the continent), I recommend downloading and using these files that make this mod compatible with Uncle Sam’s North American files. (Remember NOT to activate my continental file if you use this one): http://www.yellowsweatygorilla.com/cpl/FM19-unclesam.zip

-Season now starts in 2019 <assuming you select CanPL as starting date>
-Updated rosters and kit numbers
-Added journalists

This latest version includes all CPL signings, Voyageur Cup format change, Durham United in L1O + more

 

As with previous installments, the Canadian Megapatch adds the Canadian pyramid to Football Manager 19, with the forthcoming Canadian Premier League, an expanded Voyageurs Cup, League 1 Ontario, and Première Ligue de soccer du Québec. 

Other features:
-Players currently on trial at Cavalry FC, FC Edmonton, and HFX Wanderers are signed to non-contract deals at their respective teams - as per 'prospect' friendly rosters
-Full rosters for all Canadian PDL, L1O, PLSQ teams - for a total of over 600 new players!
-Staff for CanPL, L1O, PLSQ teams
-Canadian referees
-Canadian media sources and prominent soccer journalists
-Over 100 Canadian university coaches and physios to increase available staff
-Added missing L1O, PLSQ, PCSL stadia
-CanPL and Voyageur Cup winners qualify for CONCACAF Champions League

-Concacaf Champion's League approximates the real set-up, but I had to simplify things after having trouble getting the Caribbean Cup and "CONCACAF League" (not to be confused with CCL) to work. Instead, top Caribbean teams and two of the lower ranked Central American teams will play in the first round before the bigger nations enter. It also unfortunately, messes up Mexican CCL qualifications. As a stop-gap, only the champions and runners-up of the Closing Tournament qualify, with the other two being randomly drawn.

oh crap. Thanks for letting me know, I must've accidentally left it out.

[cel1234]

This getting updated as the league comes together ??

[Fmfan00]

My question is is there a way for example Kyle bekker former TFC player signed with my hometown soon as I start up the fire will teams start to go after them or is the rep good enough that we don’t lose our best players right away

I've been updating this almost daily. Kyle Bekker was added the day after the announcement.

There are new signings every week. For example, today, Valour just signed Stephen Hoyle from New Zealand and a few days ago, York signed Justin Springer, St, Kitts CB who plays in League 1 Ontario.

how do you have the CPL just having youth players coming from youth intake day no U-Sports draft or anything?

[Fmfan00]

the megapatch and then megapatch.ccl what is the file we edit in the editor as i am trying to sign the players?

[Fmfan00]

Any way to create a U18 league against other Cpl since we can have max 99 players..

Limitations to the editor unfortunately, I can't add a USports draft, and having youth intake is better than nothing. Besides, the CPL aims to have academies, Usports draft isn't meant to be the only way to acquire youth players irl

the megapatch file itself will contain the players.

FWIW, It's theoretically possible to add a U Sports draft using the advanced rules editor (the unique way that it works IRL is probably not doable) but if you're using the basic rules then yeah it's impossible.

Any plans to add the U Sports leagues or teams themselves or is that below the level you want to implement?

[Fmfan00]

so i downloaded the file from the first link put it into the editor direct since there was a update since the first post happen i believe was on the 19th of November... and i got this

[Fmfan00]

Yellow question... does ur CPl have like a reserve team or u18? If not how do we add one of them? Also is it good to have other leagues that play the same time as Canada so that u can loan them or just go with a small amount of countries.. I’m known for playing with this like 20-35 countries

After popular demand, i did add a reserve team, though no u18. 

You could always loan players to lower division Canada - League1 Ontario and PLSQ. I think i've seen AI doing that.

 

[yellowsweatygorilla]

In celebration of yesterday’s release of the Canadian Premier League (CPL) schedule and format, I have updated the Canadian Megapatch to match these details (or as close as possible based on limitations of the game). Download file here for those with winter update -> https://goo.gl/9hoMkn

For those without -> http://www.yellowsweatygorilla.com/cpl/FM19-cdnmegapatch2.zip

Changes:
-Canadian Premier League will have a split Spring/Fall season, with 12 games each half
-Championship game between Spring and Fall winners (if it’s the same team, the 2nd best team from the overall table will be drawn)
-All Canadian Premier League rosters are up to date as of 28 Feb 2019
-Updated club finances to reflect media deal announced

-Canadian Championship format updated to reflect announced 2019 format (after the first year, the three later stage CPL teams will be allocated to: CPL champion, CPL runner-up, best team based on overall standings)

-New clubs added to L1O: Durham United
-New clubs added to PLSQ: CS Monteul

-CONCACAF Champions League will closely reflect to announced 2020 format with the following exceptions: Panama, Honduras, Costa Rica will each have one team automatically qualify;  three instead of six teams will qualify from CONCACAF League
-CONCACAF League: CanPL will qualify to the preliminary stage; an addition of a 3rd place playoff game to determine final qualification to CCL

Thanks man I love this and appreciate it.  Can't wait for the league to start. Aren't the two halves uneven in terms of games played though?

[themodelcitizen]

Assuming you've evened out the half-seasons as an idea of what the league will eventually look like... In that case you can always use hidden stages to add an extra 2 games and go to 14 each. 

You could also have a different version for the first year, with the first few games between the 3 eligible teams also counting in a separate little comp for CONCACAF League qualifying. Lot of work for only one year though

Thanks I can always have my u18 players go with my reserve squad and develop as well... did u put a limit on age or how many players can be in the reserve squad?

Thanks for the tip! I actually originally had it as 12 and 18 .... it just wasn't great for gameplay reasons. It also introduced a lot of fixture congestion, where teams were sometimes playing on Saturday, then Monday, then Wednesday.

Ultimately, it is apparent that a lot of the scheduling issues with the league this year is due to Ottawa Fury not joining. I assume they must've made some commitments to sponsors or something - since 28 games would've been perfect for 8 teams. Thus, I figured 12/12 better reflects how the league should be. That said, I'll keep experimenting to see if I can make it more consistent. I also wish there wasn't a championship game if the same team won both parts of the season - it was a lot of fun when I was playing the version of this file without that rule. Nevertheless, I just had to put that rule in, seeing as it seems like a big part of the actual format.

Re: CONCACAF league qualification ... also might experiment, but admittedly not a big priority :p. Going to settle down and actually play the game (I haven't gone through a single season yet! used the editor more than the game). Next project might be to add the University System and implement a draft like they did this year.

There are no rules with the reserves, and given I added a max squad = 25 (I think the actual murmurs is that the squads might be limited to 22 but I won't change it until we get confirmation), it's likely that your reserve team will be mostly youth either way. Keep in mind, those on youth contracts (u18) are exempt from squad registration/size.

[Fmfan00]

but i can have like friendlies and use my youths

The Winter Update ended up creating some of the players signed on CanPL rosters, so it ended up duplicating.

Question... So with 23 players max on roster can we still have players signed but not registered but playing for our reserve or do i have to increase the roster amount? Because I want to add U18 league and such and want to know what i need to change

 

I went and changed reserves to U18 so just went to basic rules and changed reserves to U18 and i got this error when i went to go save it
