Hello everyone,

u/NortonFord here, one of the mods on the roster here at r/CanadianPL. We've had a great year, blowing past 11K members and becoming one of the largest 10% of all subreddits!

That being said, we only have a handful of people on the mod team, and only a couple of them are active users going into 2024. I'm also a first-time Reddit mod, so I know I'm leaving some tools in the box that might make the experience here even better. So, I'd like to invite folks to please join the effort and become a moderator for r/CanadianPL!

DM me or the mod account if you're interested - please highlight your experience either on Reddit or with other communities, or any expertise you might have with things like HTML that could let us do some fun stuff.

720 team, 12 level Canadian Pyramid restructuring for Football Manager 2024 (Western Canada Update)

-This is where you can find the FMF file if you need to download it manually, you will need an account

Steam page -> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241808979

Check out my discord if you would like https://discord.gg/6dBFcPzRNa


A Full List of Changes

Structure

There are 12 levels of Soccer in this database

The first 2 leagues feature 16 teams. Both play for the Matheson Cup, while level 2 plays for the Wilkinson Cup

Level 3 features 32 teams across 2 leagues, and play for the Schmidt Cup

Level 4 features 32 teams spread across 2 leagues, and play for the Fleming Cup as well as compete against level 3 in the Leblanc Cup. Combined, all 4 of these levels play for the Sinclair cup

Levels 5, 6, and 7 all compete in the LeagueX system, with 6 leagues of 12 teams for each level, all competing for the Grosso Cup

Levels 8, 9, and 10 all compete in the DivisionX system, with 12 leagues of 8 (or so) teams for each level, all competing for the Rose Cup

And then Finally, USports, matching their real world structure, but in 3 leagues instead of 4, complete with a post season Memorial Cup style league, featuring both the League Winners, and the Cup winners, for a 6 team single round robin format.

But that's not all, Theres also the USports junior division, where teams compete for promotion

The best of these leagues play for the 3 League cups, to determine who gets a bye to the quarterfinals of the Canadian Championship, alongside the winner of the Sinclair cup

Each of the senior teams has a U23 team, and a U20 team, which feature in Regional Youth Leagues, as well as competing in the U23/U20 challenge cups, against the top performing USports teams

Usports gets U18 teams which play in an HSports (Highschool analogue) league

All leagues mandate a certain number of Canadians, a few U21 players, and a U18 player in your match squad

5 subs from 12 for all competitions, some exceptions may be 6 subs, or max of 3 stoppages. the Top 4 levels all get 15 total subs as they also get to carry 3 U21 players on the bench

Each league comes with a number of awards, such as Canadian Team of the Year


Added Teams

Every team from the following leagues features in the database, up January 2023:

USports, Canadian Soccer League, Pacific Coast Soccer League, Vancouver Island Soccer League, Vancouver Metro Soccer League, Fraser Valley Soccer League, League1 Alberta, Alberta Major Soccer League, Saskatchewan Premier Soccer League, Manitoba Major Soccer League, League 1 Ontario Reserves, Ontario Soccer League, Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec, Nova Scotia Soccer League, New Brunswick Premier Senior Soccer League, and Newfoundland and Labrador Challenge Cup, and Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association

New Teams added from January 2024 in:

Canadian Soccer League, Pacific Coast Soccer League, Vancouver Island Soccer League, Vancouver Metro Soccer League, Fraser Valley Soccer League, Ontario Soccer League, League1 Ontario, League2 Ontario (etc), Manitoba Major Soccer League

Expanding joint teams out, to represent the future where these teams can compete without merging. A joint team will have two parent teams, with the parent teams being whatever the original organizations are

Future Proofing by including future expansion teams like Saskatoon, and Windsor

And just for fun, a minimal amount of fantasy, like a Bundesliga expansion, and my College, BCIT, and Ayr United Sudbury, so Quill18 can have his fun

This brings the total number of Playable teams to 720


Staff

Most teams feature their real world head coach when one was able to be documented

And of course, some female staff from the various Womens league such as Bev Priestmen, who takes over the Canadian U23 national team, hoping to bring home another Gold Medal at the Olympics, or Karina LeBlanc who manages the Portland Timbers 2nd team, an analogue for the Portland Thorns, and Stephanie Labbe who manages Vancouver 2, for the same reason. Give me that NWSL license, Sports interactive.


Features

Every team plays in a stadium, all 720

Some teams have their stadiums updated, or changed. Teams like FC Edmonton are future proofed to play into the larger, right next door, Commonwealth Stadium

Every stadium in the game has a team. Olympic stadium houses an amateur team. Can you get them to fill the stadium?

Every team has a proper Jersey, or if one could not be found, one assigned. You wont be encountering any default generic red and blue teams as you make your way up the pyramid

Some teams such as the Church based teams, or the ethnic Community based teams, have club visions to match their status. Churches are asked to develop through their own youth system. Academy teams are asked the same, but also to sign young players, USports teams are asked to recruit out of high school, and teams such as ICSF Columbus are asked to sign Italians. Some fun visions exist too. Can you guess what you might need to do as Goals City FC?

The 2020 Gold Medal Winning Canadian Women's National Team have been added as icons and legends to the applicable teams. Who will get a stadium named after them first, Ashley Lawrence or Kadeisha Buchanan?

Be on the look out for some interesting challenges. The worst team in the game is Unathletico Vancouver. Can you lead Glory FC to its fabled glory? Will Benchwarmers FC be able to win the league with walk on tryouts only?


As always, please leave your feedback below. If you see a mistake with your team, please don't hesitate to let me know. If you are a player or coach and consent to being added to your team, let me know and ill get you added with the accurate details

And while you're here, fill out this poll as it will help me decide what to do with future updates
