FIFA 19 extra National Teams and Western United (A-league) mod WIP

[benwin]

I didn't, to be honest, because not having any regens is no option for me. Thanks anyway for trying to help.

Hello,

Not a problem, the cheat table is very much an essential part of this mod. This is due to both the regen's and also the amount of smaller national teams that require you to comprehensively use your youth scouting system to have enough players per nation.

I am currently about 85% through adding all 55 UEFA national teams to the database and adding them to WC qualification. So the cheat table will become even more essential.

Thank you

benwin,
I am managing the Canada National team.
Just played my first two WC qualifying games in the Concacaf group. I really enjoy this aspect of the mod. This brings a whole new fun incentive to managing Central and North American, African and Asian national teams. Thanks for you contribution.

This might help to fix players with double ids corrupting saves. I found a table named career_birthingpool in the database, where all types of youth and regen players appearance are noted. It says that playerid goes from 280000 up to 300000, which is the FIFA limit for playerid. I went in my career save 11 season deep, and all player I've checked, regens and academy ones had id 280000 or over. My guess is that mod uses some of youth player ids, and when they match up in career theres a problem.

So basically by changing added player ids to avoid youth ones it should all be good, in theory.

Edit: FIFA limit is not 300000 its 500000.

Here's some more feedback about fifa 19 cheat table.
I just started my 3rd season with Regens permanently disabled and noticed that existing players set to retire are not retiring.
The same players are listed to retire since season 1.

The other issue is my youth academy.
In game you do not see this but when uploading career file in
fifatracker.net "some" of my youth academy players remain listed under the academy even though I promoted them to the senior team and either sold or released them. Haven't quite figured why exactly but I suspect this happened when I used the cheat table's option to generate a instant report which I did quite expensively in season 1. In season 2 I just waited for the 3 month recruitment period to end before promoting players.

Hello,

I'll attempt to re-assign all the 280000 ids to something lower in the 275000 range. Some are from the original FIP2.2 database and some are from what I have tacked onto the end for generic various national players. I think there is about 600 of them. The nuisance is that you also have to change the teamplayerlinks id to match as well. It is a time consuming/mentally draining process.

As for the retired players issue. I'm not too sure what is going on there. Maybe a cheat table bug?

Also adding a generic Inter Miami and Nashville squads along with the complete UEFA national team list.

Thanks

benwin,
Speaking of MLS, I am managing Montreal Impact in my career.
Not sure if this is a FIP thing or perhaps your mod but the regular season and playoffs are not structured accurately.
MLS is divided into two conferences (Eastern and Western).
Each team plays two games (home and away) against teams in its conference and one game against conference teams in the other conference.
Then there are conference playoffs (knockout rounds) and a grand final with the winner of each conference.
The regular season is March-October and Oct/Nov/Dec playoffs.
There is also the CONCACAF Champions league.

The competition format with this mod sees my team playing 1 game against each team in the league and the top 8 teams end up in the playoffs.
The east and west conferences don't exist. Just a single 23 team standings table.
The regular season takes place Jul-Jan and playoffs in Feb/Mar (winter).
22 games in regular season.
I don't mind the European style regular season format (plus the knockout rounds) but would it be possible to at least configure the regular season to play a home and away game against each team in the league?
Or restore to the proper MLS competition format?

BTW This is not a high priority for me and most likely the same most players using your mod but it would be nice if you could do something about it.
I read your last post regarding how tedious modding can be sometimes.
I don't know if any of you have read Paulv2k4's announcement but just keep in mind and don't forget that this is after all just a game, a hobby.
Don't let it consume and exhaust you. Take your time, have fun and keep your life balanced.

Hello,

At the moment I'm trying just to get a smooth running game with ideally no crashes. I think i've started my own career about 20 times and each time realised I would like to change/add something. Not to mention the 100's of trial and error test runs to see if my edits actually work.

In regards to the MLS, unfortunately yes, I did change it to the league system rather than the conference system. I have found that the MLS league is kind of out on an island in every previous FIFA game, and being all by itself made playing in that league uninviting/boring.

So I put all teams (now 26) into a single league and lined up the calendar with the European season. This also made it a hell of a lot easier to tie in the CONCACAF Champions League and expanded Club World Cup.

The compobj file has a lot of annoying limitations especially with the limit of lines to what I can see is 1777 (If anyone knows how to expand on this number that would be awesome, also this limit is why I cant also expand the Euro Qualifying to be the same as UEFA WC qualifying). I used the extra lines from MLS to expand CONCACAF CL. I think if you make it all the way to the final in the MLS league, MLS knockout cup, CONCACAF CL and Club WC you end up playing like 50+ games in the season + many internationals in there as well.

Currently slowly working my way through fixing the playerids over 280000. Will get there eventually and wil release another update.

Thanks

I'm working on some Excel tables which would make editing a bit easier. Example, linked values so when you change it in one table it changes in every table. Early on still, but I will share them when there is something that works. There are also macros that can be used to autamate things, it's a powerful tool, if you know how to use it, I've just started learning. Good thing is that Google sheets have them aswell, so it's easy to share and work online.

Hello! So, i just wanted to say that i have changed the name of ALL national teams (example: GameChangers is now Albania, Various coca cola teams are now Ukraine and Japan or Korea) using the DB master app. Changed things like Calcio B (Officially Serie B and Supercoppa Nazionale (Supercoppa Italiana) or Coppa Nazionale is now Coppa Italia. Btw i am having since the beginning and after editing, problems with the Albanian formation, i had to make a new one but i can't delete the prefered one (basically makes me change one player only in the formation). BTW i made all of this in my language string (italian) but can make it in few minutes if you want it in English ! Love your job
P.S. Calcio B logo still goes on when a Replay is done, club logos are fine but when you see the stands they have the fake badges and so on!

benwin,
Just want to bring to your attention that I encountered a scenario where the game will crash at least 5/10 times.
This doesn't happen in career mode so nothing major but could be an underlying factor towards issues that may occur later on in career mode.
To be clear I have yet to encounter a crash during career mode with your mod. Which is very nice.

The crashes happen when you want to edit teams (transfers) prior to commencing a career.
When you search a player by name and get a similar names list. The game will more often than none crash while scrolling through the list.

The workaround is easy enough. Just don't search for players. Just find their team and transfers from the team's players list.

 

[benwin]

V3 added to first post. Enjoy

 

[DaveDp]

Hi, big question: will this do something negative to my already started career mode? Also big negative thing if i buy players from the team of "free agents" you made in "other leagues" i cannot directly sell nor loan them out. No one comes for them so only swap

New career start is required due to the new teams added and altered comp structure. Not too sure about the transfer bug though. Sorry

 

[Thabani Langa]

Hi guys. Just wanna know if someone here has latest squad for V3 ?

 

[DaveDp]

Sadly found a problem: can't change my club on career mode.. If you want to make a career mode with more than 1 club: you basically cannot. I tried to start a new career, can't change, got kicked out of the club, cant get a new one. Broken :'(

 

[DaveDp]

I literally tried everything! Nothing there's a bug and you can't see the job offers nor change club!? Please fix this! Even tho my career is done and dusted...

 

[Michel Ferrao]

benwin,
Started my first season with v3 and I'm having a bit of a problem with commentaries which I didn't experience on your previous version.
Commentaries for real players and created players work fine. However after I start a career and edit any type of player the commentary won't work.
Until now I have always been able to edit a player using cheat table and add a player name id which is matched to an in game commentary name.
This is specially useful for youth academy players because none come with a last name name ID and therefore will never have have a commentary
from the broadcaster.
I noticed that you inserted some 2000-3000 additional names in the player names table but the commentary ID column no longer matches
the IDs from the commentary Names table.
I provided below what v3 players name table looks like and a normal players name table.
Do you have any workaround? Keep in mind that aside cheat table I don't know how to edit/create MODs.
Does anyone else have this issue?

V3 player names table

normal player names table

 

[DaveDp]

i do have the workaround (if you don't care about national teams), download this: https://www.imstudiomods.com/fifa-19
This mod is (at least in my opinion) 99.99% the mod you are using, just LITERALLY BETTER. And more stable. And with all stadium names and cooler other leagues teams. Just not the additional national teams. Try it out and tell me. Ps i reccomend to install the addons (not REALISM MOD) from Fiver (like 19/20 kits and mini kits, oh and not the minifaces as they are present in the IMS mod). Have a nice day (oh and also in IMS mod you CAN change teams and it doesn't close the game when you search for another club adventure)

 

[DaveDp]

ps: the updated squads have all the current team (even Carrasco to Atletico madrid Jantuary 2020) plus many more clubless players oh and also LEAGUES (greek, Russian, cech ecc) HAVE REAL NAMES and not TROPHY ABB 15). OH and clubs that are on the other league FROM SOUTH AFRICA don't end up in EUROPA LEAGUE hahaha! Oh LODI and ANSU FATI are in the latest squads (just follow the installation they tell you). I am having so much fun with that mod lmao

 

[Michel Ferrao]

DaveDP,
I understand your frustration because this MOD does come with its fair share of bugs but to be fair benwin has worked very hard in the last few months to fix them.
I'm just happy give the feedback that will help him improve the mod because I really enjoy its concept with the extra national teams and CONCACAF WC qualifying and Champions league etc.
Debugging is a normal process of development. It is frustrating at times but what can you do?
To be frank he's not exactly charging people on Patreon etc to play his mod.
So I don't think he makes makes a living out of this.
So you have to hand it to him that he's keeping the spirit of what these forums are all about.

In any case, I am not able to reproduce your problem. I am able to obtain jobs in other teams in v3.

Are you perhaps combining others MODs that could be causing a conflict? Like IMS stuff?
Also as all Modders will tell you before using their MOD: Make sure to use a fresh/clean FIFA install.
That may help. Who knows?
But anyway to be fair I have not yet finished my first season but I can tell you that I was able to get a job in same league or different league in the month of October in my first season.

About IMS, I tend to keep away from them because whenever I try to download one of their MODS they redirect me to some bullshit publicity site that keeps you going in endless loop of garbage and offering downloads full of viruses. After a good 15 minutes of that nonsense I just give up.
I know for a fact that its because of my browser's security settings that I can't make it to the true mod file download page.
Because their apparently harmless publicity site that they make you go through isn't exactly harmless.
