Default League swap/ Super League guide

Uhh... before I start, I'd just like to say that this trick won't work with all leagues and sometimes the editor breaks things without explanation. I suggest you make plenty of backups and that you save and check(by starting a new game) that your database is in good working order at regular intervils if you are doing big edits.

The nation we are replacing is England. The nation we are replacing it with is Japan. Keep in mind, these are just examples; I know replacing England with Japan makes no sense at all before pointing that out.

1. Filter all English competitions and change their nation to Japan and continent to Asia. You may want to rename them as well. Do the same for the Japanese competitions, too.

2. Swap all the teams into the divisions you wish to put them into. DO NOT change the number of teams in any of the playable leagues, this will cause the game not to detect them on start up.

3. Set all clubs nations back to how they should be as the editor also swaps nation when you swap 2 teams. This is a problem with the editor.

4. Set all "last division" and "last positions" for the Japanese teams so that they were in the (former)English leagues last season. This is to avoid crashing when the game attempts to seed the FA Cup and League Cup.

5. Delete all competition history, then set at least last seasons history for the Premiership and FA Cup so the game does not crash when attempting to set up the Charity Shield. You can add as much history as you want for any competition, but this is optional.

6. Go to England and change it's TLA(Three Letter Abbreviation) to JPN, then go to Japan and set it's TLA to ENG.

7. See if your new league works!

Some of these steps(such as TLA and competition nation/continent) do not need to be done when making a super league, but you can if you want.

Thanks to Dave Fairbairn from Community.sigames for this

Looking good Feddo! Thanks to Dave Fairbairn from me. Guides like these do always come in handy. By the way, perhaps you've already done it but could you add this to the Guides & Articles section as well?

i created a new european nation in the place of kazahstan, practically i renamed kazahstan

i renamed C.S.I. to Kazachstan, so that my new nation replaces Kazachstan into EURO qualifiers but kazachstan still exists in asia

i replaced the teams from the KAZ competitions with the new ones.

i put the kaz clubs into a premier division and in a lower division in a <none> country

so i think my new nation replaced kaz into the game, TLN included but in uefa cup and CL still play the kaz teams in the first season

after that i replaced the slovakian competitions with my new nation competions (the former KAZ) according to your guide

am i missing something?

put the other lower division into the Kazakhstan nation aswell not <none>

this is because kazakhstan is in Asia In real life but plays in europe the same as Israel.

you cant change this. and every season teams will go into europe as kazahkstan is in Uefa and not in the Asian association.

i experienced the first season and at the beggining of the second one my new nation clubs play in the national cup and also play in the european cups replacing the KAZ clubs (SVK clubs play too), just like i wanted

i tried to explain u what changes i made and all of them work fine for me except the fact that in my new cup first season still play (only) the slovakian teams (from the league that i replaced)

i really cant manage to replace them with my new clubs

i thought my changes maybe influenced the problem i experience

thanx anyway for the help

just wait a season and the problem may correct itself. make sure the cup nation is KAZ though not SVK, and all former SVK clubs nations are changed BACK to SVK as they change themselves to KAZ for some reason, this is a problem with the editor.

hope this helps.
