[Help] Trying to Add Second Division to FIFA 14 – Only First Division Works in Career Mode

[GamerSupremo20]

Hi everyone,


I'm currently working on adding the full Nicaraguan league structure to FIFA 14 using CM15 and the FIP 14 by HDBZ as base. So far, I've managed to get the First Division (10 teams) working perfectly in Career Mode, but I’m facing constant crashes when trying to add the Second Division (14 teams).


Here's what I’ve done and tested:

• The First Division is fully working in Career Mode (simulates and plays correctly).
• The Second Division always crashes at the Career Mode loading screen.
• I’ve tried using the A-League structure as a base for the second division but it still crashes.
• All my tournament configurations are done within CM15 only, using its built-in features like “Update Table” or “Clear Table.” I haven’t modified any CompIDs manually.
• The only league I’ve deactivated is Australia, to make room for the Nicaraguan league. That’s when the First Division started working.
• I haven’t touched the Compdata manually, and I’ve kept backup files with only the working First Division.
• I plan to add a Third Division (Liga Estelar) with 6 fictional clubs later, but I haven’t done anything there yet.

I've noticed that when copying tournaments in CM15, there’s an option to replace another tournament — I haven’t used that, and I’m not sure if I should.


My current test setup:

• First Division = Works.
• Second Division = Causes Career Mode to crash.
• Only using CM15 tools and basic config.
• Kits, squads, stadiums are all in place.

Probably you should just switch the id league with one you will not use,but I've experience only on modding original Fifa14,I'm not sure if is the same also on a mod version.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just to clarify, do you mean that I should create the promotion league (Ascenso) and assign it the same ID as an existing league like China’s, basically replacing China completely?


Because in CM15 the ID is assigned automatically and I’ve only managed to make the Primera División (top league) of Nicaragua work by disabling the Australia league. But when I tried to add the second division (with 14 teams), the game crashes during the career mode loading screen.


So I’m wondering if what you're suggesting is to use China’s ID for the Ascenso, and in that case, do I need to disable China’s league too

Yes,you should try assigning the new league a playable league's id. And this one will receive the new id created with the new league.Tell me if it works.

Replacing China won't work, because China isn't a default FIFA 14 league. You need to use the ID of one of the leagues that was originally in FIFA 14.

Thanks for your help. I've been testing different leagues to make Career Mode work properly. I tried using the Chinese league instead of the Promotion League (2nd division), and while it doesn’t crash when loading Career Mode, I noticed that the menu was bugged.

I then tested another league—I think it was the Romanian one—and it loaded, but it crashed when reaching the first day. Since I have a special division with 6 teams that already had a league ID assigned, I decided to change it, assuming the issue was caused by the third division not having its tournament configured. However, after testing it, I found that wasn’t the problem. The game always loads Career Mode for friendly matches, but as soon as the first official matchday arrives, it closes.

When I added both divisions, I had the same issue with the First League—the one that was working fine before. I consulted GPT Chat, and it suggested that the error might be due to an incorrect date configuration. Since I had classes, I didn’t touch anything, but now that I’m back, I’m planning to test that calendar adjustment. Additionally, I will try using the ID of an original FIFA 14 league, as you recommended.

Thanks again for your help! I’ll give it a shot, and if I encounter any errors or if it works, I’ll let you know.

** Something else I forgot to mention is that I only created the First Division League in CM15, so it must have a random ID. I'll also have to add an ID from another league in the game, for example, Australia, which still has its own ID.

These are the IDs of the leagues assigned by CM15:
First League ID 2
Promotion League ID 5
Star League ID 3

I recently tried setting the IDs using the CM14 option, and it didn't work. It crashes until the first date of the league, as each league has different IDs.

Liga Primera ID 351
Liga Estelar ID 80
Liga Ascenso (I haven't set up the tournament) ID 65
I don't remember which FIFA 14 leagues they were, but if they were in the original, I tried searching on the EA website where the FIFA 14 leagues and teams are listed.

Now it crashes at the start of the season when loading. I'll try again tomorrow. It's already 11:03 PM here.
Hopefully I can get all 3 divisions working.

Maybe you reach limits. Max compid for example is 100

And when crashed at start loading or in the end?

When loading the season, I now fixed the problem so that the first division works with the second, but when entering the second division it crashes when loading the season, only loading appears and FIFA closes (this with the second division)

 

[Dottegeo]

Try to set direct relegations and promotion without playoff (Ascenso is playoff right?)
When I tried years ago I would create playoff for lower Italian leagues but I had problems (only working on CM14), so I preferred only direct relegations and promotions,and all works perfectly even today.Maybe is not realistic but better than nothing.
Otherwise I think you should create a tournament (with cup structure) and assign a working id for Ascenso as the same for the league.I hope is all clear

You enter carrer in second division, choose team and coach and then start and then it blocks? If so something doesn't work with the leagues or cups structure,so is possible what I posted before

If I only configured direct promotion and relegation because I didn't know how to configure the playoffs, and yes, I choose the team, the coach, load the season, simulate or let the days go by, but when I get to the first day of the "Liga Ascenso" it closes, and I don't know how to open the crahs.dmp files of FIFA to at least see why it crashed or something like that.

Ok,check calendar (schedule) in Creation Master, if you don't see or recognize any mistake try to delete the calendar and copy/paste one other similar. I don't know if you set any extra-national cups,check also that dates. If you enter the season and block at start season the structure works but could be a mistake for a lot of season (check also all teams and kits for example)
Are you able to play friendly matches?

I tried but I couldn't. Now it crashed without loading the mode. I've had too many errors with this lower division thing. I'm already thinking of quitting, although I would have created the teams and players for the star league in vain, and making them all in one league isn't something I like that much.

Well, it's difficult understand the problem. You could try to delete and redo again, you could even post pics about CM14 edits, but is not easy. You could do an easier thing: not create a new league, but replace one (with 2 divisions of course) you'll don't use and you're sure it works. So you need to change only the teams.

I'll use the backup I had that only works for the "First League", and then I'll see what I do. I'll probably remove the German league or I don't know, but I'll try to do something.
This is the configuration when only the "Liga Primera" works and ignores the logos. I was previously testing with the CM14 ID switch and it didn't fix that. Nicaragua has an ID of 195 for Australia and Australia has an ID of 86, but when creating players, I have trouble choosing the country Nicaragua and sometimes it doesn't save and they remain as players from Albania. In the meantime, I will continue adding and modifying team players.

Check last pic. The id is not the same, isn't it? And next to Relegate to you should click and select Ascensio. In every part of CM the numbers must be the same, if Primera's id is 6, it has to be 6 in all the different tabs. If you did just so, the problem could be different

Are you referring to the asset ID or the chars 4 name? That's what I didn't quite understand. Sorry to bother you; that's what I get for being a newbie and trying to complicate things.

Edit: I think I understand now, if in the league the ID is 5, in tournament it should be 5, that's what you mean, for example the "First League" tournament is id 6, so in league ID it should have ID 6.

Yes, league id and asset id must be the same!
Don't worry,you don't bother me!
