Update 72+73

Hello everyone,

vote for Update 72 was won by Czech Republic "Remaster" (level 5) so it will be done for this update.

In Update 71 will be added Spain+ (adding level 6).

• Spain+ - added missing clubs to level 6 (more than 200 new clubs), added all regional leagues with their formats in 2023/24, added changes of formats from 2024/25, added some history to regional leagues

This week is all about Spain, when I first looked at it I thought there is not lots of things missing but with more closer looked, there was a lots of stuff missing. Newly added is more than 200 teams, with missing cities and stadiums (these were added not for just newly created teams). Finishing the teams with all the informations takes more time than in case of Denmark or Finland for example where there was all information in one place (which is super good) but in case of Spain their system that they using is just not very good and it's not very user friendly (for example swiss, finish or danish are super good).
Each regional leaugue has it's own format, in some cases the format changed in 2024/25 which will be replicated in game. Lots of promotion/relegations are in reality based on number of teams relegated from level 4, but in FM there is a need to have fixed number of promoted/relegated teams so the numbers are fixed. In case of Ceuta/Melilla normally teams cannot be promoted if there is already team from that region in league, I think this is not very gameplay friendly (you could be stuck in level 6 for years) so promotion is normally open. I'm still working on lots of things, so I can't really say what more will be added.

In case of adding level 7, if it will win some future voting, it will take two weeks to make, because there is practically nothing in database to those leagues and my guess is that at least 500 teams will have to be created.

For Update 72 will be made Czech Republic "Remaster" (level 5), in this update will be added last update for Czech Republic+ and there will be logo pack for both versions.

Voting for Update 73 will have Jamaica+ (adding level 2 + youth system) , Japan+ (adding level 7 to regions Hokkaido, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu) , Spain+ (adding level 7) and Brazil+ (adding fantasy Serie E/F).

As always thank you for your support and I wish you nice weekend :)
