I origionally wanted to make a massive youth team patch for U23, U21, and U17... I think I'm gonna have to step away from that particular idea at least for a little while. It is liberating to finally get a chance to actually play with the teams I made and while I am still watching tournaments on TV that I wish I were creating and editing and upgrading, I think for now my goal needs to be to patch up the holes in the national teams I already released and then begin other projects.
I think my hands are just a bit full at the moment.
On that note, What I've been doing is: I set up a massive set of tournaments that I play through one at a time (some overlap, some divided) and I basically work my way through a 4 year cycle of selected tournaments.
Right now I am in October of what I call "year '00" it would essentially be the october following a world cup starting in August of '00 and ending in July of '04 then picking up the next rotation and calling it '05-'08.
Anyway the goal is to play through the tournaments and try to spot mistakes, errors, missing textures, inappropriately strong teams/players.... unrealistically weak teams and players. I get to enjoy the game and I edit as I go. What I'm going to start doing probably tomorrow, is releasing a short update patch that corresponds to whichever tournament I just completed... For instance I just completed the Paxta Piyola tournament that I made up for the South and Central Asian teams... I will continue updates tomorrow then release that patch as an update to those 12 teams. it won't be a release of these tournaments specifically, but it will be a good base for you to use if you want to play these tournaments.
Anyway I'm very tired and I hope everything I just typed was coherent and had a point. I'll start getting you guys updates soon... I was just trying to decide what the best way to do it was.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On that note here is the:
Paxta Piyola Tournament
It is a
fictional federational championship that would in theory be the federational championship of the South and Central Asian Football Federation (yet to be created but highly likely in the future).
If you are using the layout that I use, these teams would be competing for 1 spot in the AFC Asia Cup.
I played this tournament through and through, one half with one team, one half with the other... I played all 15 games and am attempting to identify the teams that are unrealistically strong or weak.
Here were my Results: Team - Pts

Uzbekistan 6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see Turkmenistan and Afghanistan probably performed a bit better than they should have. Uzbekistan still made short work of Turkmenistan in the semi's but that's mainly because I used two defensive center mids to man mark their two star strikers and took out my higher rated Attacking Center Mid. I lowered many players ratings on Turkmenistan and modified Afghanistan as well
Sri Lanka, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan sort of underperformed thus I boosted their ratings here and there and played with their formations and tactics to try to help them in the future.
The patch I'm releasing now has the edited values in place. Your results should be more believable, Though all in all I was happy with the tournament.
If you're curious I named it the Paxta Piyola rather than the South and Central Asian Football Federation Championship just to shorten it up a bit.
I decided Uzbekistan would be the host for the event and looked up what their primary exports are... Apparently they export a lot of Cotton, so I looked up the words Cotton and Cup in Uzbek and got Paxta Piyola. Piyola by the way may actually mean something like cupboard or cabinet.... I won't say anything if you wont. But essentially the tournament is just called the Cotton Cup. I'm not great at naming things creatively... But I took a shot at this one.
Be patient with the patch as it loads in... it may take a little while.
