Hello, gamers.
Here is the exciting first Argentina season after coronating as World Cup champions. It will come to an end next week when the TRFA 23/24 ends and we’ll know which teams promote to the Federal A 2024. This time, I wanted to concentrate in season mode and get it to work no matter how bizarre the argentinian league system is. I’d say results are quite successful, at least 3 seasons can be played unscathed, with promotions and relegations, qualifications to continental and national cups such as Copa Argentina and respecting (in most cases) the real world format of each competition when it comes to tie-break rules and brackets.
Also, several graphic improvements have been made. Several new faces, original balls, specific 3d wipes for every competition, kits, trophies and of course, new, remodeled and improved stadiums,
It will be no doubt the most enjoyable version of this series so far
Fixes
– Career mode works for every argentinian and south american league for at least three seasons (in some cases even more)
– Other confederations ‘semi-fantasy’ leagues work for several seasons as well, except for CONCACAF (it will crash at the end of the season, sorry)
– I usually liked to put my personal choice of kits, but given so many people complained about it, kits for Primera Division and other teams have been updated
– Primera Division, Copa Libertadores and FIFA Club World Cup allow for 5 substitutions as in today’s real game. The rest of the leagues allow only 3 subs and in some cases only 5 players on bench to avoid not having enough players at some point in the competition
Known Bugs
– For some reason, when a player during the game is cautioned, at the match highlights menu, instead of naming it “yellow card” it states “undefined” The card is counted in the league/tournament records anyway
– DO NOT go to the transfer tab in season mode. The game will crash. The reason you need to avoid that tab is because transfers have been disabled to preserve the actual line-ups as much as possible
– If you do not use stadium server, for continental cup games, try avoiding playing at times later than 5pm, since we have still not found a fix to the annoying night shades bug in FIFA 16. All argentinian Primera Division and Nacional B stadiums work normally at night, same for Maracana and other international stadiums.
Adjustments
– Some competition format adjustments had to be made to get the crazy argentinian promotion-relegation system to work. They will be outlined below at each division’s paragraph
– All the other south american leagues except for Colombia, contain 22 teams, even though most have less than that in the real world. The reason is that with that number of teams is that career mode works throughout the seasons. Colombia has 20 teams in 1st division and season mode works fine.
– For the same reason. all the other confederations except for Oceania also contain 22 teams, including all the teams that contested the continental cups of each confederation in their final stages. AFC (round of 16), CONCACAF (quarter finals), CAF (quarter finals), UEFA (Round of 16), OFC (Semifinals). CONCACAF, AFC Far East, CAF and UEFA have a fantasy 2nd division. These leagues will qualify to the continental cups and FIFA Club WC of the following seasons. OFC has 16 teams
– Every team that has qualified to a South American continental cup (Recopa, Libertadores, Sudamericana) has its roster updated to 2023. Most UEFA teams, Saudi Arabia and CAF teams have been updated as wellCopa Argentina:
– All 64 Copa Argentina 2023 teams with the original format. New Stadiums, Unico de San Nicolas and Carlos Augusto Mercado Luna (La Rioja), plus all the other neutral stadiums used at the tournament. Winner qualifies to next season’s Copa Libertadores
