Send me the database and let me look at it in DBM.

Give me a few. Something else is broken now. I tried stripping all of my stuff out and the league is still crashing. I'm going to start over. Back in touch soon.

IT LOADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the help everyone!

I will keep testing, but it loads.

Here's a recounting of what I did:

1. reinstalled a clean dlc folder.
2. reinstalled a fresh db (the may 22nd update)
3. Created the new league and made it a Mexican second division. I assigned it the id: 7 (Brazil).
4. Created a league under Mexico with the same ID: 7.
5. I made a very simple schedule. Single round-robin with all matches played at the same time on consecutive sundays.

I did not touch the "rankings" tab. I did not add a trophy (there are some files still linked to the Brazilian trophy, but I think some of the textures are missing). I also didn't do anything with the sections marked 'colors' or 'slots' in CM.

The formation for Waterhouse didn't load properly so they basically didn't have one. It didn't prevent the league from loading but it did lead to them forfeiting every match.

I did not add the Jamaican NT.

I will keep track of other troubleshooting problems I run into so that others have a record.

When scheduling, we need to skip the weeks which are designated international dates. This includes (but is not limited to):

The weekend of September 6th
The weekend of October 11th
The weekend of November 15th

You most likely had the issue due to the nation used.

If you put everything back to the way it was and simply select a nation used in game it would work.

I think that's likely. I probably had more than one problem at the start. I'm going to test some more things to see if I can figure out how flexible the exe is

YES! The league id definitely does not matter. I think the national affiliation is the key. But that means that for every nation in the game (hypothetically) at least one league could be added.

I suspect we would hit other limitations before that, but I am determined to find those limitations.

Reg, when I release these, you want me to put them in my national team thread (renaming it) or just start a new one?

I've also confirmed that one can delete certain cups from the tournament structure and it appears to have no effect.

As long as that tournament doesn't feed another one, it looks fine. That frees up some room in the compobj file since compId values above 1700 have been reported to be problematic.

I got rid of all of the super cups ( like the community shield), J. Paint and Capital One Cup. I think third place matches can also be removed but I haven't tested.

UJust saw this thread. Looks like you solved your issue, but let me add some input. Could be useful.

1. Your main problem was definitely the nation used. If you take a default fifa and load it up in cm, go to the country tab and every country that has a map, you will be able to add a league to it and use it in career mode.

To my knowledge, nobody has been able to add a league with a non default nation. I've spent countless hours trying to crack it but no luck. I strongly believe it has to do with the scouting files though.

2. You definitely do not need to replace an existing league to add another one. You will eventually hit a limit though, before you have to delete existing tournaments. With my patch, I've hit that limit. 4 extra working leagues in career mode along with their domestic cups and some international club cups.

3. Using a specific ID is not necessary. However, if you use an ID that has previously been used by EA, you will probably get some commentary as reg mentioned. Doesn't make sense most of the time since it won't apply to your specific league.

Hope that helps further.

More posts like this! I think we should be better at documenting not only how to make the game work, but also how to break it. That way people are crystal clear about what they can't do

Hey mrliioadin! seem to be running into you alot these days haha. I seem to have hit the same stage with the J-League as it will work in career mode if playing as a different team and the games simulate and works fine in tournament mode. but these are the things so far that i know has caused a crash if i use a different league.

1. I tried setting the start dates in FEB, for a march start like the real fixtures, whether is a 2 stage league with a finals or just a single league, but loads if you choose AUG,SEP while choosing another league.
2. using any of the Career or gameplay mods seem to crash it straight away even if you choose another league, even if you install the mods first and then edit. so half of the problems must be related to the files in the mods.

I'll see if I can become the manager after being with another club and see it that works.

Hope some of this info is useful.

What country are you using for the J-League? When is that country's start month?

Gameplay mods really shouldn't crash it. At least, I wouldn't think they would. I modifies a completely different set of files.

I also thought the better career patch mostly just modded the text files. I'm not certain about that, though. I think modders need to be clearer about exactly what they are changing to avoid problems like this.

The ideal way to test this would be to do the following:

1. Start with a clean FIFA, then add the J-League and get it working in manager mode. If you can't do that, the whole problem is likely something to do with a mistake you are making (been there myself. No shame in that).
2. If that works, start with a clean FIFA then install one of the two mods you want to use. If that works, Add the J-league while trying to mimic your initial steps as closely as possible. If that works, most likely the other mod is causing the problem.
3. Repeat step 2 with only the OTHER mod installed.
4. If that works, then try both together again adding the J-League after.
