yeah, i´m propably going to start in Norway. Kind of fitting since i´m going on a 4 week trip to norway next june
apparanetly in the official SI forums there´s a couple new cups and leagues allready posted and apparently it is indeed doable with the editor
I will definitely create reserve leagues for the major leagues like Germany, that way the pro teams will have reserve teams active even when you only activate the top 2 leagues (german reserve teams play in leagues 3 and 4 IRL)
someone made an interesting looking Britain-Cup. Highly debeatable if those countries of all (especially england) need yet another competition, but here goes :
Quote:
In simple terms, I've created a season long tournament, for Scottish, English, Northern Irish, Irish, and Welsh Clubs to do battle 'gainst eachother for supremacy of these fair islands.
There's a few touches I couldn't implement as they are simply not available in the editor, so needless to say seedings, location of final, and the ability to have the tournament show under all five nations comp lists are not as I would like. I've taken the following decisions therefore, but am open to further help or suggestions.
- Seedings are by Division Reputation, it's the only way to keep the bigger clubs out of the qualifying rounds.
- The qualifying rounds in turn have been implemented to ensure a few games for the minnows and thereby spread the wealth - if only a little.
- The Final has a habit of being played at Old Trafford, there seems to be no way of rotating it between the national stadiums of each country.
- The tournament has been built under England, despite me being a Jock. Much as I'd have liked to host it under Wales and have the Millenium as the obvious AI choice for final each year it seems that England is the nation the most likely to be active for most of us, and I personally have no intention of running the Welsh, or respective Irish leagues in my main games - there are 20 or so nations with much bigger clubs I want active in my big career games.

All matches are scheduled for 2000hrs. The AI has taken, quite cleverly in my opinion, to moving matches around where necessary to accomodate other existing fixtures, but having plotted a calendar around the EPL, SPL, League Cups, CL, and Europa League I have largely aimed for the only weeks without a clashing fixture. Some game weeks do clash with a wednesday night league fixture around 4 times a season but league fixtures are easily rescheduled by the AI, whereas delaying cup matches can cause problems.
There shall be the following player restrictions in place to encourage development of youth and home grown players.
At least 4 HG from Club in Match Squad
At least 8 HG from Nation in Match Squad
At least 6 U23's in Match Squad
There shall be 3 subs used from a bench of 7.
