Setting up my own league

Apparently there is a way to set up you own league on FM 2008. You can put in the teams of your choice-as many as you like.

This is possible right?If so how do you do it?

Thanks.

well, you can do that with Data Editor(comes with the game).
you can modify some of the playable leagues as you like.

in the editor. the official fm editor that is.

should be on your "start menu" map of Fm2008. shouldnt be hard to find. run it, load your databas, and work youself around.

i dont know if you can 'create' a new league but you can take one league that u dont care about and change it completley.

for me that is a kind a boring (stupid).why do we need to start are own league,when there is a alredy bilt leagues thats why i dont mess much with database :|

Thanks guys-I'll go try it now.

Excuse the double post but if I edited nobody would notice.

Can someone do me a guide through it all. I'm having difficulties on editing the database so if anyone can tell me in great detail what to do I'd appreciate it very much.


Thanks.

i might be able to help, but it might take a while though. not that long but i will see what i can do mate.

I dont think you will be able to make a league with all the major clubs because you can only swap teames from the same country (for example you can swap Watford for any Premier division team, like Man City but i think that you cant swap Watford with Valencia of Lille). Maybe if you change the nationality of a team, but then you will have to change city and venue and of course division.I havent tryed it so i dont now will it work...

well tell me what are you having difficulties with, i think i can help you with something cause i now a thing or two about the editor

You can definitely swap teams from different countries.

Yes, my bad, i tryed it now and you can,sorry...

But still dont think it will work...

what league you would make?
i mean which clubs would be in that league ?

In fm 2007 i created ex-yugoslavia league witha all the strongest clubs from Slovenia, Macedonia, BiH, Serbia and Croatia.
In just few years I got extra champions cup place and two more euro cup places.

One thing that you shouldn't forget is that most clubs only have rival clubs from their own country because they play in the same league, so when adding clubs make sure that you set some new rival clubs. It will make your new league more interesting. For example i set Dinamo, Hajduk, Crvena Zvezda and Partizan for fierce rivals. I also added rivalry for some smaller clubs. Don't make to many fierce rivals, or to many rivals for one club because it will be constantly on the news and it may effect the money that clubs receives from tv broadcasts. And if every match is a derby and a team loses 3 or 4 of them you will have clubs constantly replacing managers. Don't forget to raise leagues reputation.

If you are careful with the details you can create a great league and have a lot of fun.
