are the b teams of well known sides in there

i will almost certainly be making a 2017 version. i don't know when exactly but i'll post on the fm forum when it's done.

Hi, can you make this "mod" for Football Manager 2017 please ?

do you have any other edited databases selected? have you changed the lnc files?

In the country selection screen I can't enable Singapore, I can only enable Hungary, India and Wales. Any fix for this?

should do if the transfer update only updates players (and not, e.g., club divisions)

Does this work with transfer updates?

Hey, sorry for late reply.

It's a bit weird. Don't know how to fix it but I think I'll make a 2016 version when that comes out and I'll set it somewhere in Europe this time. Not sure if that will fix this problem but it will fix some others :)

I seemed to have figured it out, at least somewhat--England (and any primarily English-speaking country), Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, most of Eastern Europe and former Yugoslavia, and Monaco (AS Monaco, but no other French teams) seem to be the only countries where players will actually learn the language for teams in the World League. Even in heavyweights like Italy, France, Portugal, Brazil, and pretty much all of the Spanish-speaking Americas, players won't learn the language, and this kind of hurts teams because they then can't apply for citizenship.

I don't know but I have noticed it. It sounds a bit like it might depend on some weight that is put on 'bigger' languages (English, Spanish, German, Russian). Perhaps some countries have a weight that means players are more likely to learn the language but this is lessened if the team is based in, say, Germany but plays their games in Singapore.

I don't know if it's possible to change this but I'll look into it. If you find out more info, let me know :) Thanks!

Hey, I'm a huge fan of this database! I love the globalization of soccer. One minor tick that annoys me, though, is that when players go to countries not of their origin they generally don't tend to learn the language unless it's Spain or Germany (and every player learns English). For instance, there's an English star at Boca in my save who has been there for years, is the captain of the team and yet can't speak a word of Spanish, and thus can't become an Argentinian citizen and apply for Argentinian citizenship. This is pervasive with pretty much every foreign player at a club in the World League--unless they're in Spain, Germany, or sometimes Romania/Russia/Ukraine, they never learn the language of the country. It's easy enough to avoid when I'm not managing, but it kind of breaks my immersion. Do you know why this phenomenon happens?

Ok! Thanks i thought it was to pay for the editor. I will give a try, thanks agains

the editor is free (check library > tools). i can't swap individual teams so you'll have to do it but it's not difficult. just load the database in the editor, then load the world league editor data. go to the division you want to put your team in. remove one team from the 'teams' and 'teams for next season'. then go to the database tab, find your team and change their division to this division.

Hello, is possible for you to make a small change in one of the leagues 7, and put PORTIMONENSE SC in place of other club. I will have do it, but i dont have de editor, and dont know how to work whit that. Please, regards

thanks, richard. let me know how it goes :)

Also on a note. Don't delete Champions league etc.

I think the Asian Champions League is a great tournament and adds a nice separate one for the top teams in the premier league. As they win it will grow in stature and maybe bring the whole Asian region up as well.

I assume then it will still bring about the world club championship etc so again balance the game well

Regarding the ECC and EC in Europe all it needs is all the divisions filling again so leagues can run and Europe re develops itself after this massive breakaway set-up lol

I think its a great edit :)

OK great.

I am going to re fill the English premier league and lower leagues so they are all full and see if i can load it up in background to see how league develops with all the top two divisions gone

I'll let you know how it goes and works out

@Sw33z: I'm not sure if you can remove it, I would be worried it might cause crashes. Best way probably would be to recreate it in the editor and select some Singaporean teams to play in it. I'm pretty busy at work at the moment but I hope to resolve issues like that (and the Champion's League issue) in a next version.

@richard: just open the database in the editor and then load the world league editor data.

How can i get this into the editor? I noticed if i put teams into divisions I can have them running view only in backgorund.

Main reason is champions leage and Euro Cup are still running and it could be interesting seeing who grows to dominate each country now the big guns are all gone

I have it installed and playing it but wanted to know how i can open file in pre game editor

top 4 teams of topleague have to play Asian Champions League : Could i completely remove that competition via the Editor ?

thank you @afilmforthefuture

just delete it from your folder

@afilmforthefuture It won't undownload even though I have unsubscribed

thanks, Sw33z! Board expectations have been high for me too, although I'm not sure if that's just realistic as my team also seems able to meet them. glad you're enjoying it :)

i've merged this db with lfc transfer update . i''m in season 2 now playing as RSC Anderlecht. first season i had a lot of troubles with my board they were bitterly disappointed ( had to perform 13/15 pts to stay manager ) while i leaded the league with +25 pts + played final vs barça of the cup . very diificult this way ! but i survived and now i'm in division 2. the board is finally satisfied now. but weard thing happened : they asked me to stay away from relegation , but when the first game starts they change it to win the title . weard . the cool thing is you can loan all kinds of good players from teams who have too many fgn's . ( i changed it from 7 to 11 in editor but still).i'll keep ya updated. enjoying it a very very much !

@2000AD: I have noticed a lot of sackings but wasn't sure if it was just because there are so many big teams with demanding chairmen, etc. Have you had problems as a manager with board confidence? I've discussed it a little on the SI forum thread but it's good to have some data like your example of Metalist - that is nuts. The second nationality thing: I hadn't noticed that. I did hear that sometimes players don't pick up the language of their club and so end up being denied nationality. Your example sounds like a limitation of the game AI. Maybe AI only reviews who is in the reserves every x months? Do they get promoted to senior squad at end of season?

@scudderandkee: Probably best way is to look at the database in the editor and see what I changed. There are also lots of guides and threads online that will help you. Create nation rules for wherever you want the league to be based and go from there.

@D00M: Yes. There are skins you can download that will give you instant result. Or you can holiday past games.

Anyone else having issues with the 'lower league' teams sacking managers all the time? Playing as Newcastle, topping group, but every other match is 'el sack-ico' in the press as 'both managers are being told they risk sack if losing'. Almost 100% record but no confidence from board. Almost every manager in Division 3 has their job security listed as 'precarous' .Metalist have gone through 4 managers in just over a month, Crazy.

Additionally AI doesn't seem to understand how fast players can get second nationality, for example Chelsea transfer listing (and dumping into reserves) Mikel and Ivanovic at the start of the game and keeping them there even after they get British 2nd nationality a few weeks in.

can i simulate the games without classic mode ?=

how did you do this? Want to do my own but don't know how.

um.. no league databases work with classic mode

doenst work at classic mode

I'm working on a fix for that, to remove teams from the Champs' League. For now, holidaying is the only solution and I think it only affects the first season, yeah?

my champions league isnt working, i have to go on holiday one day before the match and let my assistant control the team.

The league is based in Singapore so it doesn't make much sense to have the European Champion's League. Also, since all the best teams are in the World League, all you would have is some average teams from each country.

and champion's league et Europa league ?Could you do the two competitons in this uptade

My english is not good , thanks

also called CHAMPIONS LEAGUE?

@Ghosu: Div 2

@Raflesia: Some people have tried merging the database with a transfer database. That should work as long as the only thing it changes is players but it is risky.

@gspalombo: It isn't ridiculous; I've thought about it a fair bit and heard arguments on both sides. I do get that some people don't like it but unless they actually engage with these arguments and tell me why the problem outweighs the benefits I can't take it into account. Instead it might be easier if you just edit out the limit. Trying to progress with a smaller country's team is more of a challenge in this league, yes. That's part of the game as I've set it up and the big benefit is that you don't end up with 400 teams of randomly mixed nationalities and no identity.

@Sw33z: In my view, if you had 10-11 foreigners as the limit you basically can have an entirely foreign starting line-up. That's one of the reasons I lowered it. So I think you have to see it as 7 out of 11 (with a requirement to field only locals on the bench). I wouldn't like to set it to 11 as then you might still see no difference between the teams.

I don't know for sure why managers are getting fired quickly but I can take some guesses: one reason might be that there is much less difference in quality between each team in most divisions (except the World Pool) than there would be in, say, the EPL or SPL. It's an improvement on the 2014 version but given the nature of the league you have 20 teams of quite a similar standard in each group. This means that almost every team has a good shot at promotion. This might lead to disappointment when it inevitably doesn't happen for most. Just a guess and not sure yet how to fix it.

how can ı do transfer update this league ?

WHERE İS GALATSARAY ?

The foreigners limit is ridiculous. Trying to progress a team from a smaller country is far more complicated than it should be. I am with Celtic and have to get rid of half my team

I cant get it to work.. :/

i think that 7 out of 23 ( less then 33%) foreigners is a bit low . i'd say 10to11 foreigners out of 23 (still less then 50%) would be a better rule . peace
also : do you have an idea why so much managers are getting fired very quickly ?

@Emcken-KSE: Div 3 Group C

do you got FC Copenhagen in? And where is it?

@Rudi: In the World Pool Group E

@D00M: Do you have any other edited databases or .edt files in your folders that might conflict?

@Sw33z: Great! Hope it works over the holiday :) I don't have a list. Will put photos up of each div at some point. If anyone wants to make a list that would be appreciated.

@Mafachew: That's very useful info, thanks. I tried to check in case teams had a majority of players from another country but missed this one. Did you select add players (or whatever it's called) at the startup screen? Perhaps the game would add newgens - dunno, haven't tried it. It seems odd to set their nation to US but I could do that if you guys think it is best. Alternatively, Toronto poses a new challenge - quickly sign Canadians so that you can compete!

author : do you have a list of all the leagues with the teams ? Would be very helpfull to me for editing .peace & keep it up ;)

@afilmforthefuture Tried to start a save as Toronto FC (from Canada) not enough Canadian players in the squad as most are American, won't let me play any league games based on the foreign players restriction. Any idea on how to change this?
