I think all the Scottish divisions need to be in the game. The Swedish league is in the game and the Scottish leagues deserve it just as much as them. It would be a challenge to lead a team like East Stirlingshire (officially worst pro team in UK) to European glory :p

The only problem is that most of those teams aren't very good at all.

some of the English lower league teams aren't very good either but they're still in it

I've been on at them for ages and managed a bit of success getting division one into TCM this year. Division two could follow next year, but apparently FIFA is at full capacity :rolleyes:

Thanks for Keano BTW :D

they should put more lower divisions in Scotland Germany France and Italy
this would be better for a bigger career mode

@StuGillespie - did Keano get a start for St Mirren on saturday? I think we already have a replacement in Andy Ferguson and possibly Graeme Brown.

I'm another Ayr supporter and i think that for the sake of the competivness in the lower leagues and there unike style, that they should be included.

Yeah, the Scottish leagues (apart from the SPL, which is mainly dominated by Celtic and Rangers) are very competittive.

No, he came off the bench after we were a goal down. Two best moments of the game for us were when he got the ball.

I reckon he'll start on Saturday against the Fakes.

If you need proof that the Football Conference needs to be included rather than the Scottish League, just look at the attendances from the Conference and Scottish Division 2:

USL Divsion 1 gets more fans than that, Rochester averaged 10,181 and the league averaged 3,879, and you don't see them in FIFA.

Daren R i agree with u the Conference is a really good league to be included in the game but first they need to improve there player database on the team members(EA)

I'd rather see more international teams (Holland) instead of lower divison club sides.

They could still include a generic squad AT LEAST, and then give us the ability to edit them. Also, I didn't just mean Holland, I'd like to see more national squads added.

The attendances in the Netherlands:

Eredivisie: 16,455
First Division: 4,933
--------------------------------
Masterclass Amateur: 550
First Class Amateur: 480

The Scottish:

Premierleague: 15,040
First Division: 1,986
Second division: 892
Third Division: 445

Only the second division has a higer attendance!

And the last two dutch divisions are amateur, why must the Scottish divisons in Fifa?

I know the leagues in Holland etc are more prestigous and the like than the lower leagues in Scotland, however I personally feel that they should have got all the important top leagues sorted, then started doing the second league in the pyramid and so on, instead of creating four English leagues and just one for Scotland and Holland.
