Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Share Posted 6 March 2009 "UEFA Super League" & "UEFA Pro League" DOWNLOAD HERE.Two leagues, 38 of Europe's best teams.** What: I've hijacked the Dutch league and slapped in two tiers of teams. The first is inspired by the current Champions League and is named the Super League (pardon the cheesey names, they were the least of my concerns) the second is named the Pro League and was meant to represent the-best-of-the-rest. There's one team from most of Europe's better footballing countries with the exception of Turkey that got a second team (because, to be fair, Fener probably should have gone in the Super League.) I'm not a programming genius I'm just a bored nerd with the data editor, so there's obviously going to be a few minor annoyances. You'll still have to play in the Dutch Cup with some Dutch teams, I had to promote a bunch of teams from Lower Leagues to fill the missing gaps in existing leagues to make sure you can still run every league in the background should you wish. I was unaware of Holland's exact rules regarding player signing and registration so I've made Russia, Croatia, Ukraine, Serbia and a couple of others members of the European Economic Community which cancels the need for work permits / "Fgn" status. I've also set up FC Kobenhavn, Lech Poznan and Dinamo Zagreb's finances slightly for the challenge (see bottom) and made a few extra rivalries to spice things up a bit (German clubs will be rivals with the Polish and Dutch, English and Scots rivalries, Portugese and Spanish etc.) How: Unpack the whole archive (should result in a folder called LCFCFinners) into your "db" folder in My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 09. If there is not a folder named "db" just make one in that directory, it should work. When you go to start a new game, select "LCFCFinners" instead of Default, 9.1 or 9.3 (or any you've made up yourself, JoeyB =P) Obviously you'll need to make sure you have the Dutch top two leagues turned on. Problems: I've only tested it for about five minutes and didn't even get as far as the first friendly - so I don't know! If you encounter any let me know and I'll try and fix it (or tell you how to fix it yourself, probably quicker. The only thing I've noticed is that, when you start a new game, the thing about Manager Shortlists takes an age. It will finish eventually, though. For some reason the Editor wouldn't let me save a new database so I had to use an old one I'd already edited. That one had a lot of changes I've had to go back and undo, so if you find anything out of the ordinary I apologise it was from previous experiments (like I said before, I tried to set up an SPL-In-The-Premiership database amongst others.) EDIT: Known error with the UEFA Cup (and presumably Champions League) in the first season. Seems to be impossible to be drawn after the group stages. DO NOT watch the group stage draw "live", seems to trigger a crash. Waiting for confirmation. THE CHALLENGE: (You're free to do with this database as you want, though I'm personally giving this challenge a go - it should be pretty hard.) As the manager of [pick from] Dinamo Zagreb / Lech Poznan / FC Kobenhavn you have been formally invited by UEFA president Michel Platini to participate in the newly formed UEFA Pro League, "the future of modern football." Widely believed to be just a space-filler to make up the fixtures, expectation is low in Europe with many rival fans believing your place should have gone to another Spanish or Italian club. A consortium of local businessmen and wealthier fans have banded together to offer a one-time financial boost to the club, offering a one time sum of £20m in an attempt to carry the club to the UEFA Super League. The consortium are, however, focused on developing your country's national side and insist that you do the same. You must maintain AT LEAST four home nationals (Danish, Croat or Polish, team depending) in your squad at any one time ALL of whom must play a minimum of 15 games (in all competitions) per season now and in the Super League, one must play 25. You should win the Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Author Share Posted 6 March 2009 I'll download it rightaway If you want I can also offer a mirror for the download? You're free to rehost / distribute it. The YouSendIt link will probably expire fairly soon. If any graphics nerds fancy making some banners that'd also be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Author Share Posted 6 March 2009 Oh, and I think every league / team / country in the thing should have a facepack here if you're short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Author Share Posted 6 March 2009 So this will just become another database option to choose from, and wont fook up my other databases? Correct. The only way it can fook anything up is if you have an existing database called LCFCFinners that it'll overwrite. I highly doubt this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Author Share Posted 6 March 2009 Hm, possible snag - a very minor one. When you're scouting players and it tells you whether or not they'd be Leading Star / Good / Decent for "most teams in the Pro League" I'm not sure whether it does this calculation based on the standard of the old second division. Time will tell, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Author Share Posted 6 March 2009 it's most definitely hardest with Poznan. If you're doing the challenge Kobenhavn have the best ground and are probably the "best" club but it'll be easiest to get 4 decent Croats in your squad, I reckon.

Samilktray Posted 6 March 2009 Share Posted 6 March 2009 Lech. Lovely kit, but theres something about Zagrebs Diadora strip that does it for me. And the fact they have an orange away strip. Decision made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 6 March 2009 Author Share Posted 6 March 2009 the most I can offer someone at Lech is 25k a week and I can only have 6 coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
