i will provide likely a few more smaller updates to this with things like tweaks to australian league teams last position (already done) along with the change of name for the grand final stadium. and then things like Anis Slimane (done) and Benie Traore (doing now) to Sheffield Unted Anis Slimane contract is just a guess as no details about his contract have been leaked yet. Benie Traore is a 3 year contract (with terms being finalised on how payments will be made) so his is set as 4 years (1 to cover 2022-23) while the wages, sell on fees, bonuses etc are just complete guesses. with tweaks to their CA/PA and a few attributes slightly boosted

so i wanted to provided an update using a promotions relegations workshop content alongside this could break it. but using an updated squaadlist etc shouldnt cause issue, ive ran several test with various workshop content my own and some other peoples work and its usually only promotion/relegation updates that break it. with some people having included teams they thought would be promoted/relegated at the time it can create a situtaion where there is too many teams/not enough teams in certain leagues.

and some cups such as fa i have added a third placed playoff match. and varying sub rules for varying stages ie preliminary and qualifications rounds 5 subs named 3 can be used, first & firsth round proper 5 from 7 subs, 3rd to 5th round proper 5 from 9. qtr final, semi final, final and 3rd placed playoff 5 from 15 in most cases that is: + 1 extra time sub, max of 3 stoppages, but in earlier stages it is just the subs + 1 extra time no max stoppages because that wasnt a selectable option for the lower amounts

financial boosts for the 4 additional teams in prem as well as the ''promoted'' teams. changes to last position to reflect the irl 2022/23 season except for wimbledon, burnley, sheff utd, & luton who take last place 18-21 in premier league with leicester, leeds and sunderland taking last place 22-24 in prem, whyteleafe, staines & harlow take last place 1-3 in championship but that does not affect the european spots for season 1, 2 week earlier start in prem t account for 8 additional matches whilest some weeks will be busier not as much as they was in situations where some weeks there would be 5 matches a week for teams in europe in all competitions... and many many more changes

there's a whole draft of changes such as changing the dates the u21s and u18s start and end cannot affect the dates they actually play or add promotions relegations or add cups as it was specifying 1st team leagues to be used essentially drafting 1st teams into the cups and not the u21s/u18s. repuation/long name/short names changes accross the playable leagues including the 8 teams relegated from vanarama north/south but no other changes in the non league teams so expect a lot of promoted teams/in cups from non playable leagues to come with the default names.

the hopefully final batch of changes are in relation to the prize money. already did this but forgot that 1st place uses the number 0 in editor whiles 24th place would use number 23 for that so basically all the leagues 1st place money was not there instead 1st place money down to 23rd place money was given to 2nd place to 24th place and the JPT i wanted to try to change the completely random groups into north/south groups or at-least regionalised somewhat

the advanced edit is coming on nicely. and with a successful test hopefully shortly (verifying changes now). it will be uploaded. its still missing a whole bunch of stuff i'd have liked to do but nothing i can do when the editor seems to have those things either hidden or just not visible to edit. and i really don't fancy going through the last 24+ hrs of building this database from scratch again. but i will for FM24

Work on fixing some of the rules in advanced editor has now begun, but even then some of the stuff normally available isnt there. but atleast the prize money is. and the ability to change the u21/u18s dates and add the possibility of non tv alternative dates

playable fix now uploaded

i will definitly need to use advanced editor to set up prize money for leagues because now that has also vanished from the basic editing. although there is some substantial television and parachute money set up for each league. premier league is roughly how it should be but im not sure if thats 1 lump sum or over xx amount of years as it doesnt specify so i just set up a larger amount. while there is larger than normal amounts for both in champions through to vanarama north/south. there is not much else i can do with the basic editing to fix any issues i havent already spotted so that build will be available shortly. just wat to run 1 more month. i tried tweaking start dates because it affects loans ie i brought 3 players in with significant loan fees on season long loans and they expired literally a week later 31st june... so be careful when bringing in loans before july 1st

i was also able to complete a more interesting default bassed youth leagues (still no cups) where instead of the default mirror leagues with smaller sizes. it iis regional leagues all with 24 teams there needs to be some adjustments to some of the dates especially where the u21s and u18s leagues are concerned but also in terms of the 1st team with preseason starting late may through till august but this does add an interesting spin

once ive got the base information done i may switch it to advanced editing to edit the stuff that has for some reason vanished from the basic editing which affected the issue with national league north/south. so as a work around that just has 2 automatic promotions from each league. instead of the 1 auto 1 playoff proper or the 2 auto 1 playoff in each i wanted with 6 relegation's from national league, i did give a quick look at advanced editigng but the last time i did advanced editing was a while again so that will take a while

i was able to add some work permit and transfer stuff only limited but so far and ive signed a few foreign players and staff not a single one has come up with work permit

currently have the atabase working again just giving it a season run on a default large database with only 1 nation loaded to look for any major changes that need to be done before i upload that version. still has no prize money etc for leagues but it is a playable database. theres a few things i could not edit for some reason but its interesting what the editor selected where i couldnt like 99 squad registration in premier league (not sure about others)

currently have an issue with thisdatabase. that i cant see to resolve. built identically to other datases requiring rebuild on basic rules but for some reason this one just doesnt want to play ball...
