How To Add A New Country In The Scout System?

Hi friends,

I added some new countries and leagues in FIFA 16, but I can't send scouts to search players in this leagues. They were showed at region selection but I can't select them. As example, I added Paraguay league at South America region, I saw the league, but when I try to send a scout to this region I just can select Brazil, Argentina, Chile or Colombia, that are the defaults leagues from game.

Obs.: I'm not trying to scout youth players!!!

Someone can help me?

Did you add it to the GTN and youth scouting?

I also want to know this - and I will try to do my own tries to get this done. I will reply here once I have tried to do it.

Firsrt I thought it's something to do with these lines in scout.ini

MAX_NUMBER_OF_YOUTH_SCOUT_NATIONS = 54
And the risk factor lines below it.(Editing these didn't work)

And then someone told me to create a national team and set a objective, that didn't work too. Because you have algeria doesn't have a national team but is selectable in youth scouting on the other hand hungary got a team but isn't included.

I have done it and it works! I have Philippines league and I can send GTN scouts there and I can also send youth scouts there. The youth players all have Filipino names too! :-) I will enjoy my next career mode as I will try to grow young talents from Philippines and lead the national team into the world cup! YES!!! :bouncy:

I will explain (shortly) what I've done to make this work.
(I will be using Philippines as an example, because it's what I used - but it should work with any other country).

Added national team Philippines (there are instructions elsewhere on how this is done).
Added a new league using the safe method of replacing another leauge (using another leagues ID and database name). In my case I replaced the Norwegian tippeliga.

Scouts can only be sent to countries that have a map shape (see the country tab in CM16) - so I changed the flags and name of Japan into Philippines. The map-image is not changed - so in-game it LOOKS like japan, but it reads as Philippines, and scouts for Filipino players.

To get the names right, you have to edit some tables in the DB:

career_lastnames table
and
career_firstnames table

You'll find that there are links from certain names to certain nationality in the
career_namesgroups table

I got everything working since I read other users useful info. For convenience I will share these posts and threads:
Thread: Career Youthplayer Name Groups & Tables

Post: Playernames editing by BlackEmperor.
(From thread: Youth Academy - Player Names)

Other related and possibly useful:
Thread: Creating New Leagues With New Ids

I will start playing my game now. :-) C u later!

EDIT: Remember that when you are changing the nations this also affects players nationality. So you may have to go into the players table and alter their nationality once more.

So you have to replace one of the existing country's maps and flags? Also did you add phillipines to any subregion(ie. rest of asia)?

I only replaced the flags NOT the map.

I left Philippines in the UEFA region, but I did change the database country to Philippines. You could add it to the AFC, but from what I am seeing it does not make any difference.

Instead I altered the Asia World Cup qualifiers to call in Philippines instead of India. (I moved out India so it is no longer a part of the Men's international competitions).

Thanks Buddy!

But if you replace japan, it will become unavailable, right?

Is it possible to add instead of replacing?

It is possible to add yes, just as long as you use a country in the list above.

For instance If I replace slovakia with ukraine, it will be ukraine that will be scouted but slovakia will be excluded. You're right but I was talking about adding a country without replacing or even replaced both of them will be available.

YES it is possible to ADD without replacing. Just as long as it has a map on the global scout view.
