Is there a resource available that details all the little peculiarities about each of the different playable leagues? Common questions like how to be promoted or relegated, how many foreign players are allowed, does the team have a reserve squad and do the reserves actually play matches... questions of this type. If there is not such a resource currently available, I think it might be a great aid to develop and I would be happy to assist in creating one if someone has access to this type of information.

There's a huge honking league guide with information on every club, but it lists a little too much details about the clubs (i.e. finances).

You've a thing for the exotic and obscure heading eh redd? Need to get out of Harrisburg?

I have looked at that, and it is very thorough in the info it gives about the clubs, but it says nothing about the league rules.

It would be nice not having to make wild guess after wild guess about league rules or cup ones...

But I don't know of any resource that includes this

That's half the fun surely. I like to imagine the team talks.

Player: "OK boss, what are our tactics for extra time?"

Me: [getting back off bus] "Errr, extra time?"

I would really be ****ed of if I didn't know the rules of a playoff league and after celebrating the title and promotion find that I still had to battle my way through a play-off...

Or if I was in Brazil and after a 0-0 aggregate result after a 2 legs match I was put off without replay nor overtime because of the coefficient thing...

Or if I didn't knew a thing about Argentinian coefficient for promotion/demotion and it just happened to me...


Edit: And, sure... hilarious moments arise from your utter lack of knowledge about the league, but when a promotion/relegation spot gets in there, it stops being fun and it starts being major pain...

I always do that! Halfway through a random cup game I suddenly realise I haven't got a clue about the rules etc and have to go and check the 'next match' section on my squad screen... Half the fun though yeah!

A tip to avoid slippling up on these rules in simply to win every game, can't go wrong
