I have just downloaded the 'english lower leagues level 23 database' for this game. I can honestly say this is one of the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Once installed this database gives you very accurate information about all the teams in the English football system going all the way down to the Mid-Sussex League Division Ten which is level 23 on the footballing pyramid- 13 divisions below Shaw Lane. You can also 'manage' any of these teams in any of these leagues and compete in any of the cup competitions such as the FA Vase & FA trophy so of course that means you could use the likes of Athersley and Worsborough.It's not quite 100% and still needs a few tweaks like getting the club crests on but I would highly recommend both purchasing the game and downloading this database.
I had one for FM12ish that went down to the 12th tier I think. All the teams played in blue. Sent from my I-Oven using the internets
This one is much more accurate than that. I know quite a bit about Aquaforce and I can verify that the club info, players etc. is all correct.
Really enjoy playing FM and this ones a really good one IMO Just started a new save with Barnsley. Did okay, finished 8th after a shocking end to the season. Got a senior affiliate with Tottenham, the player I got on loan from them's starting in Dortmund in real life. 18 year old Joshua Onomah, attacking midfielder of many teams dreams.
Depends how many foreign leagues you select. If you have all the Countries selected it will of course be a bit slow but if you just select the 23 English Leagues like I did it should be fine.
So, started a game on FM15 in the 24th tier with the team predicted to finish bottom AFC Bolnore. Come on you greens. Sent from my I-Oven using the internets
I used to have a similar database on FM14, the last time I played the game. I also spent hours downloading all the proper background images, crests, player/manager photos and what not. So when you clicked on Barnsley it had Oakwell in the background. If you selected Sam Winnall, there he was in all his glory. It was ridiculously authentic. I even edited things myself for extra authenticity. It was superb. I never really played too far into the actual game itself though as I couldn't find the time. And before you know it, the new game's out, etc etc etc. You've to have a lot of spare time to laik that to its fill potential. I only wish when I used to have that spare time as a lad, that the game was as grandiose as it is now. It's summat else. I only kill folk on GTA and lose on FIFA these days, if I've a spare hour or summat. I'm growing up.
I've managed to get the Reds into the Premier League. I've stuck by my own principles of no foreign players unless they come through the academy. Beat Wigan to top spot first season and came second in the Championship to Forest in the second season. Conor is still at the club as is Josh and Alfie. Adam Davies is back-up. Tried to keep as many of our players as possible but I would of been relegated from the Premiership if I hadn't of got new blood in.
I would have imagined with that many leagues it'd be difficult to differentiate them from each other. If the typical Conference player averages out at around a 9.5 in all his stats, how to you keep them varied when you go 18 leagues below that? Do the players in the league below average 9, then below that 8.5, 8, 7.5 and so on? Doesn't seem like it'd be enough to hold my interest.
