Now Released! Tweak 5 (12 Nov 2011):

Coming very soon, for you delectation, I have opened up the

Dutch Leagues to include 5-tier from Eredivisie to Eerste Klasse.

A small piece of poetic license for the constraints of the Editor but it has 5-tiers, 21 individual leagues, 306 playable teams, Cups, Promo/Relegation Playoff, Divisional Championship Playoffs, and much much more.

League Structure:

Eredivisie = 18 teams (real life format)

Eerstdivisie = 18 teams (also real life)

Topklasse = 2 leagues with 16 teams each (Saturday and Sunday leagues)

Hoofdklasse = 6 leagues with 14 teams each (3 x Sat. and 3 x Sun.)

Eerstklasse = 11 leagues with 14 team each (5 x Zat. and 6 x Zon.)

So total of 306 Playable Teams.

Some taster images but stay tuned sports fans:

Looks great! Used a similar update for Dutch leagues on 11, which unfortunately had some promotion/relegation issues in its first release (sometimes, PSV would be in the Eredivisie and the Topklasse in the 2nd season). Can't wait to play this one :)

Okay so I have dropped the Hoofdklasse and Eersteklasse Champions Playoff because the fixture were not scheduling - for future releases maybe. This had no bearing on promotions so i'm not too concerned.

Anyway, apart from that things are looking nice so Post 1 now has Download Links :thup:

Enjoy, and please let me know of bugs or suggestions for tweaks to make it a better set up.

Let me know which team you pick and how you get on - I'm away to start with Go Ahead Kampen, an Amateur Club in Eersteklasse Zaterdag D.

With a large db and 73000 players loaded each match i had runtime error, people from si tell me that you must choose a smaller db. I don't like that thus it takes all the fun in fm away. I'd like to start a game unemployeed and work myself up and up ended by a european topside. That's how the way i played fm and in previous fm versions it has not an issue that you have an xl db running.

Yeah i've 10+ leagues from different countries running on a custom db, i think that must be the problem, but i don't want to change it because it takes away the fun of the game, i'll hope si can fix it, more people have the same issue, only can do is wait for the fix. Until then i've play fm2011.

Interesting, I'm playing large db with custom additions and it's fine. But your using more so guess that's your prob

When loading version 4 (with a lot of other leagues, that worked well together with version 2) it says that the competition should belong to The Netherlands, but isn't setup as such. And it collides with Ireland now.

Could you fix that please, Cadijk?

Thanks in advance.

Please try new link, i had recreated the KNVB Cup and Cruijff Shield but had not made the old comps Extinct, i think that might have caused it.

I've fixed these and loaded up a new game with no issues.

At a guess, someone else holds the rights, so SI/Sega can't have post on their website explaining how to put into the game information that they don't own? Similar to the Ollie Kahn issue in previous games?

Is it possible too that your names disappear when steam does some kind of background update, which is why they disappear at different times for different people?

Yeah, sorry, I deleted my posts. I was wrong, so I didn't want to spread any false information.

I had another look in the editor, and I found it odd that there are two KVNB Beker and two Johan Cruijff Schaal entries. Would it work deleting one, and letting the other stay?

Which would mean deleting the 1301411 and 120861 entries, and letting the others stay which starts with 10000...?
