  1. @Derekno worries, thankyou
  2. Yea should be fine pal, just to confirm will you be able to help with any of the difficulties I had with the database?
  3. @Derek HI mate, think I've pretty much sorted most stuff. I've left most kits blank as I don't know exactly what they'll look like (especially shorts and socks). I also noticed I do not have a club vision tab to make edits there which I saw on a youtube video, is this something that was on previous editors and not this one, or have I not done something which would have allowed me to see this? I have tried doing a workaround by putting everything I would like in the chairspersons and fan personal objectives and tendencies. I also struggled to create the Orion Cup (friendly tournament), when i tried to create this it took them out of their league divisions. I don't mind if that's not as detailed as what the original post said, that was just something chatgpt cooked up. I would just like an annual friendly tournament between the sides if possible? Also is there anyway of adding a team to the MLS without removing one and remaining playable? I was unsure how to do this so just added them and did not touch anything else Orion Collective.fmf
  4. @Derek I’ll start working on the database and attach it in here and let you know which parts you may need to have a scan over if you have time
  5. @Derek cheers for getting back to me pal. If I set up most of the groundwork with the database would you be able to touch up with a few things which I am unsure on how to do, to get them to work effectively in the game and also do the graphics?
