goo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 wow..i live in Canada and never knew there was a fooball league here, all i know is that Toronto FC plays in the MLS I want to see the Saudi League since Saudi Arabia is a country thats been qualifying constantly to the world cup (since 1990) and im curious to know how their league is.. There isn't a national league yes the CSL exists but I wouldn't call it national considering there are only teams in Ontario and Quebec, I would call this a regional league. Vancouver and Montreal have teams int USL which is the 2nd division of football in Canada and USA football. The quality is not very good in the CSL, Toronto FC's under 18 team has only been around for two years and fairs ok in the league despite the fact that they are competing with men. Also the league is not very popular, I live in St. Catherines were one of the teams compete and I can remember a couple instances were I have ever heard of anyone discussing the team.

I know the CSL is a terrible league but wouldn't mind managing there! And how about the Premier Developmental League (PDL)? The long and forgotten Toronto Lynx play there.

Svenc Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Here's an idea. Rather than squeezing most of the data stuff hardcoded into the game, how about a re-vamp and a proper editing tool that allows players to add, change and fiddle around with leagues on their own? Sure, might take a away a selling point or some. But would also make for another too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long and forgotten Toronto Lynx play there. seriously why would SI put a lower level league in that doesn't have a promotion/demotion option. It's like them putting in Sunday league teams from England (probably better then PDL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabioke Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I wouldn't even mind if real players would be mixed with fictional ones in those obscure leagues and country's. The most important thing is that the clubs and league structure are correct. Once the league is added there will be enough volunteers I guess. Maybe Fm is going to surprise us afterall. I can't wait for Fm 09 anymore just two days have passed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come Clarity Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 In a perfect world I'd love all of them - however it requires a hell of a lot of work to keep updating leagues let alone adding them. Right now I'm more than content, and I'd be surprised if more than 50% of users play in anything aside from major European leagues or their home nation, let alone (no offence intended) more obscure footballing nations such as Peru. However, for the sake of my imagination, the Egyptian & USL leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think that leagues should ony be added to an existing system if there continues to be a promotion/relegation system all the way from the bottom playable league to the top. This means no more leagues from at least the US, Scotland and Australia. I also think that the top divisions from any country with a club that has won their continental club competition should be playable, this means I think the following leagues should be added (listed in order from most recent continental win): New Zealand Football Championship (there really should be at least one league from OFC in the game, this is the obvious one to add) Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol Primera A (Ecuador) J-League (I am aware this isn't currently possible) Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 Egyptian Premier League Primera División de Costa Rica Nigerian Premier League UAE League Primera División de Paraguay Ghana Premier League Botola (Morocco) Côte d'Ivoire Premier Division Thailand Premier League Iran Pro League Algerian Championnat National Qatari League Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Honduras T&T Pro League (Trinidad & Tobago) Ligue Haïtienne (Haiti) Surinamese League Cameroun Première Division Primera División de Fútbol Profesional (El Salvador) Liga Nacional de Guatemala Guinée Championnat National (Guinea) Congo Premier League Linafoot (DR Congo) I personally wouldn't mind if any new leagues added weren't fully researched, the teams and rules are all that's important to me, and that wouldn't take too much time at all to research.

glamdring Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 One team doing well in the Champions League doesn't mean the league is good, but I take your point that it probably is of as good a standard as many leagues. SI seem to have drawn a line under adding new leagues for the last few versions though. I want the Faroese league, but I'm not holding my breath waiting!
