benwin,
Speaking of MLS, I am managing Montreal Impact in my career.
Not sure if this is a FIP thing or perhaps your mod but the regular season and playoffs are not structured accurately.
MLS is divided into two conferences (Eastern and Western).
Each team plays two games (home and away) against teams in its conference and one game against conference teams in the other conference.
Then there are conference playoffs (knockout rounds) and a grand final with the winner of each conference.
The regular season is March-October and Oct/Nov/Dec playoffs.
There is also the CONCACAF Champions league.
The competition format with this mod sees my team playing 1 game against each team in the league and the top 8 teams end up in the playoffs.
The east and west conferences don't exist. Just a single 23 team standings table.
The regular season takes place Jul-Jan and playoffs in Feb/Mar (winter).
22 games in regular season.
I don't mind the European style regular season format (plus the knockout rounds) but would it be possible to at least configure the regular season to play a home and away game against each team in the league?
Or restore to the proper MLS competition format?
BTW This is not a high priority for me and most likely the same most players using your mod but it would be nice if you could do something about it.
I read your last post regarding how tedious modding can be sometimes.
I don't know if any of you have read Paulv2k4's announcement but just keep in mind and don't forget that this is after all just a game, a hobby.
Don't let it consume and exhaust you. Take your time, have fun and keep your life balanced.
Hello,
At the moment I'm trying just to get a smooth running game with ideally no crashes. I think i've started my own career about 20 times and each time realised I would like to change/add something. Not to mention the 100's of trial and error test runs to see if my edits actually work.
In regards to the MLS, unfortunately yes, I did change it to the league system rather than the conference system. I have found that the MLS league is kind of out on an island in every previous FIFA game, and being all by itself made playing in that league uninviting/boring.
So I put all teams (now 26) into a single league and lined up the calendar with the European season. This also made it a hell of a lot easier to tie in the CONCACAF Champions League and expanded Club World Cup.
The compobj file has a lot of annoying limitations especially with the limit of lines to what I can see is
1777 (If anyone knows how to expand on this number that would be awesome, also this limit is why I cant also expand the Euro Qualifying to be the same as UEFA WC qualifying). I used the extra lines from MLS to expand CONCACAF CL. I think if you make it all the way to the final in the MLS league, MLS knockout cup, CONCACAF CL and Club WC you end up playing like 50+ games in the season + many internationals in there as well.
Currently slowly working my way through fixing the playerids over 280000. Will get there eventually and wil release another update.
Thanks
