Just thought I'd mention this is an awesome project. While I won't be able to test it fully myself since my computer isn't good enough to run FM, I'll maybe get it burned to a CDRW and take it to my friends house for a look. I'm sure he'd be interested too.

Thanks for the feedback Dave.

Things that are ready right now:
- created all dutch minor team badges and put the right color scheme and shirt (based default) in the database
- put in all the right stadium names
- created the EDT to boost the dutch minor teams.

Right now I'm running the test season to see what happens to the promotion / relegatoin when you boost the Duch minors.

retired_merle

Right.

the first season on the 2nd testversion ended and gave a rather satiffactory result.
What did I do before starting the league:
- give all Dutch top amateurs a transfer budget of 200.000 € and boost their reputation up to 3100.
- all the other minor teams had to do with a budget of 75.000 € and a reputation of 2000.

Here are the promotion / relegation results for the 3rd and (non playable) 4th division:
promotion to 3rd klasse.
Competitors:
AFC
Geinoord
DEinze
Lisse
HSC'21
Argon
Fortuna
RC Mechelen
TReffers/KEGRO
ADO'20
Türkyemspor
Rohda Raalte
Hamme (played in 3rd)
Dessel (played in 3rd)

Eventually, Hamme consolidated its spot in the 3rd klasse and Deinze promoted.

The other teams promoted to the 3rd are:
Aalst, Harelbeke and Tongeren.
Relegated are:
Ronse, Tubize, Eupen, KVSK and of after the play off Dessel.

Allthough none of these teams promoted, several dutch minors are showing up, very different to the test version 1 where I didn't see the likes of them in 2 seasons.

Furthermore, the top amateurs are really moving on the transfermarket in order to build up their squad. Tonight a 2nd season will be run, so I'm curious to see how this works out.

In order to keep it as fair as possible, I'm thinking of giving all 4th klasse teams equal boost as well as the rest of them.

Comments are always welcome.

My interest in this is so great because me and my friend were gonna do something similar to this with the English and Scottish leagues being put into the English Premiership through Conference North/South. When I seen this, I told him to hold up a few days and check out how this goes. After you're finished, we might combine your effort with ours for our games.

retired_merle

that would be absolutely nice!

Seems to be working rather well! New overview to follow on short notice

I am confused.
Have you got two sets of league with belgium and dutch teams?
Or is it one set?

retired_merle

Did the following.
Swapped teams between belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg, leaving the Dutch league and Luxemburg non playable.
In the editor I adjusted the UEFA coeff. so holland wouldn't have had any teams playing European football.

So actually 1 playable leage, the belgian one.

hope that's clear
