For all Career mode mods, the limit will always be 60 with no additional national teams. The reason for this is that they show up as normal teams, not International teams, so signing those players to your team is problematic. Discussions will be had about National teams.
Yeah I understand that for career mode the limit is 60 and we have to live with this for now.
But here are two ideas I've had regarding having more than 60 national teams:
a) Adding new national teams to a league not active in career mode. Maybe it's the league where World XI and Classic XI are in vanilla Fifa 14 or another "rest of the world" type of league that isn't active in Career Mode.
b) Adding new national teams to a new league other the usual "International" league, for example "Rest of the World - International" where all other national teams (Algeria, Iran, Belarus etc) would be placed. And if there is no way to get rid of it in Career Mode, maybe this DB version would be for national team games only (and not for career mode use), just for RTWC2022 / Nations League.
Stadiums will be the first thing that I work on so I'll review this soon.
I'll check the list you posted in the new thread and provide feedback.
Btw do you plan to keep this thread for feedback or switch to the new one?
Some more feedback points:
- PFC Sochi From the Russian PL are not using the RPL font and numbers.
- Some teams (e.g. Albania, Bolivia, Bosnia, Croatia etc) are assigned ball ID 6, which is just a generic EA ball.
- Having balls assigned to leagues via
specificball_0_LeagueID_0_textures kind of defeats the purpose of having many balls sometimes. For example there are 5 EPL balls in the mod, but one of them is assigned to the league by default (another one for winter), which means that it is impossible to choose any of the other 4 in friendlies. On second thought, this is probably necessary for Career Mode when teams get promoted, so that they use the league ball instead of their "team ball" from the lower division. Food for thought though.
- Iniesta's club Vissel Kobe has a 10 char name of Vissel
Kob
- Beşiktaş JK home ground is named Vodafone Parki, should be Vodafone
Park
- There are 2 stadiums with the same name Stadio Romeo Menti in the game. They are most likely from different cities but it's not clear in the game.
- Portugal NT has a generic stadium assigned as home ground, whereas Dragao would be a better choice.
- USA NT has a generic stadium assigned as home ground despite many US stadiums being present in the mod.
- Would be great to have more shirt/shorts color combinations for teams like France and Italy (currently they always have blue in their kits, but all white or all blue variants would be great, same with Germany, Russia, etc and club teams too).
- If possible, would be nice to have real referees (names) instead of Sun Hwan-Cho being the ref in Russia.
- Really enjoying the different attendance values you set for different leagues. Would be great if
setGameCrowdSize(hometeam,awayteam,homesize,awaysize) feature was also used for big derby games (e.g. La Liga is set to 75% by default, but Real vs Barca would be 100%, or Russian PL is set to 50% but Spartak vs CSKA would be 100%; and maybe if we go further matches of relegation zone teams would be 25%).
- I think you saw the awesome job
@Dmitri is doing with face conversions, possibly making it a matter of seconds soon. Do you fancy mass converting female faces from Fifa and bringing the female league into Fifa 14 (be it with slim male bodies and not available for CM)? I think that would be one of a kind mod
Last but not least: I am planning to play career mode combining your 18-19 and 19-20 mods.
The plan is to use the 19-20 files as the base, replace the DB, kits, boots, adboards folders etc with the ones from 18-19, create new stadium entries in the 18-19 DB to activate the stadiums added with the 19-20 mod and assign them to teams, thus starting in 2018 but with all the features of your latest mod,
Then, when I progress to the 19-20 season in my career, I'll switch the kits, boots, etc folders back to those from 19-20 and have a naturally flowing career, maybe later on reaching the 20-21 mod too
Do you have any precautions with this or recommendations?
I am familiar with everything graphics related but have no idea about CM structure/dlc/schedule files.
