International Complex is missing?

Echo127 · 11-06-2025, 10:42 AM

I just made a small solo sim league. 6 teams, short season, two levels of minors, no financials. With the intention being that I can manually play out every game of a season if I so choose. But the international complex is entirely absent from the game and I would like to have it.

In League Settings --> Rules, I've got the Int'l Complex roster size set at 18.
In League Settings --> Players I've also got Int'l Scouting Discoveries on.

But in the Organization--> Overview page, the Int'l Complex is not available on the drop-down menus. I can still navigate to the Organization-->International page, but it's empty; Int'l Scouting Discoveries are not happening.

Is there some other setting I'm missing? I've scoured every tab I can find multiple times. I've even tried enabling Financials and the Coaching system to see if that would do anything, but it does not.

Thanks.

Wildest of guesses, but what are your minor league levels?
Not sure if there needs to be a rookie level to accept grads?

You could try adding that level, without populating, just to see if that makes the INT magically appear?

Also, what is the actual drop down setting for your INT Scouting Discoveries? There is a "none" and not sure what that might do?

Good Luck tracking this down.

Just gave that a shot. No luck.

Maybe you have to progress forward until the first discovery is created. Could be that when no team has any players in the complex the option to select the complex is not available.

Echo127 · 11-06-2025, 08:03 PM

No, I've already progressed thru 2 seasons. Discoveries just aren't happening.

Minor update: Enabling International Amateur Free Agents makes the International Complex appear, but International Scouting Discoveries still do not happen.

Can someone from the OOTP side of things please comment? This is your game. Surely you must have some idea of what's going on?

Do you have restrictions on foreigners, or your international options set to not allow players from other countries. International discoveries by definition are not from the league nation, so if you are limiting there that could prevent them.

To be clear, the complex only appears if there's someone there.

Not true, as I noted above. Enabling International Amateur Free Agents makes the complex visible, even if there are no players in it (or even in the International Amateur Free Agent pool).

My League Settings - Players tab looks like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RRK...ew?usp=sharing
I've edited the player origins to roughly match what it would be if player talent was easily distributed around the globe. League Nation is "None" and Region is "Inter-Continental". On the Rules tab, there is "No Limit" on foreign players on the roster.

I can't find any other settings that might be relevant.

Why do you have the International Orgin set to 100% Random Origin?

My guess is that your issue is related to that.

Oh my gosh, that's it. I had it set to 100% random because I wanted 100% random player origin. But as soon as I enable any specific country the Complex shows up and starts getting populated.

Thanks!

Minor update to this: I still think there is a glitch (or multiple glitches?) involved.

1: 100% random player origin was resulting in no players appearing in the pool. Changing that and selecting individual nations instead would result in the pool getting populated. (I am not convinced that this is intended behavior.)
2. HOWEVER. The above is only true if I ALSO enabled creating of International Amateur Free Agents. This step is required to make the Complex visible in the first place. And if the complex is not visible, the International Scouting Discoveries simply do not happen.
3. After my first scouting discovery happens and the International Complexes are no longer empty... I am able to disable International Amateur Free Agents. And at this point the complex will stay visible and scouting discoveries continue to happen.
