Premier League of America 2K10

[Dark Cloud]

I've tested this one pretty extensively and it works, as past tries at this didn't generate a second season. This one is good out of the box and doesn't inject the USA with financial steroids.

It's a seven-tier USA setup, with a number of cups and so forth. The thing it does not do, is put the United States in Europe. I've abandoned that, simply because there's no real point when you have the ability to create pretty much any conceivable league you want internationally.

Premier League of America (14 teams)
Major League of America (10 teams)
League One America (10 teams)
USA League Two (10 teams)
Continental League (14 teams)
Pro League (Two 10-team divisions)
Triple-A Soccer League (16-teams)

DOMESTIC CUPS
US Cup (64 teams, our FA Cup)
Lamar Hunt Pioneer Cup (16-team cup, Tiers 1-4)
Continental Cup (16-team cup, Tiers 4-7)
Congress Cup (16-team cup, Tiers 5-7)

INTERNATIONAL CUPS
Ford Champions League of the Americas (16 teams from US, South and Central America)
Virgin Super League (16 team global super league)

Even if you download it and make your own changes, it's in good enough shape that you won't have to do much beyond rename teams in the lower divisions, since I didn't do that and add ketchup. Should be interesting!

I made a few changes to the lower division teams, add your own team if you want, but it's ready to go.

Thanks for doing this. I am considering buying the game just to play this setup!

Are there any citizenship requirements?

Nope. You could field an entire team of foreigners if you wanted

I'm working on an update right now, that'll have the right teams represented and all that. I just wanted to get this out, but I'm working on the version I'm going to use (dynasty?!) and so, once I'm done with it, I'll upload that and detail what teams are where. Probably today.

[Dark Cloud]

By "right" teams, I mean, "major cities and such should be represented along with some other historical clubs, plus some fictional ones of my own."

Not some sort of accuracy, because I'm not as worried about that.

Ok, here's the db version of the PLA that I'm going to manage in. The only thing I did was put teams in cities, the lower levels are largely based in Boston and New York because their neighborhood are conducive to soccer naming and because it was easier that way. It's only different than the earlier versions in that the teams are named better and spread out around the US more.

Do you have all these cities accurate to their climate? lf so l hope Alaska has a dome!

[Dark Cloud]

Stadiums are generally close to the home city of the team, yes. There are teams at the lower levels that don't have a home ground, because they came that way. But I think the overwhelming majority are.

Alaska plays at the Exxon Dome, a fictional stadium I created for them.

I'm itchin' to try, but I'm really waiting for DC to put out like a final final FINAL version Sounds great though.

DC,

I've been working on various versions of the PLA for a while now and I have to say this latest version is phenomenal. Excellent work my friend.

Kudos to you for burning the candle for all of these years with it, because that's what made me want to try again!
