This year if made all the clubs in the Netherlands playable by adding 5 extra tiers to the database used in the vanilla game.
I tried to make them as realistis as possible.
The Eerste Klasse is as close as i could get without screwing up the rules, and having all league an (mostly) equal amount of clubs in them.
The Tweede Klasse is filled with remaining teams that were in the game in the Netherlands, and were previously assigned to the 'lower leagues'.
I hope you are going to enjoy this DB and look forward to any suggestions/tips or anything from you guys in a comment or a message.
Below is some more detailed information about this database.
