Hello everyone! Today is the day...my last update for FM24 is ready. I pushed beyond my limits and have now reached my goal: This is now the most complete Football Manager I have ever edited.

For everyone who missed the January update (there was no public release), you can also see the changes from last month here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/fm24-increase-27-118774705

For BETA users:There are no changes compared to the Beta fileAnd now to the final February update:

A total of 9 files were revised and 1 new file was created (smarter AI-managers).

The following file is new:

- Smarter AI-Managers

The following files have been updated:

- CA/PA adjustments new wonderkids & others

- Salaries market values ​​& sponsors

- youth & training facilities improvements

- League reputation changes

- Club reputation fix 24/25

- Alternative youth rating + game importance & others

- Ticket price adjustments

- Transfer preferences

- New players 24/25

Smarter AI-managers NEW

- I’ve added hundreds of missing or wrong prefered formations. This should also help that the variation of managers tactics is slightly higher.

- managers are now more flexible & also press more, which should make playing against the AI a bit more challenging

- managers reputations are now all set to a similar system as I’ve done it for players. So manager movements should be more logical now

CA/PA adjustments new wonderkids & others

I reworked thousands of players again. In addition, I made further structural improvements in Spain/Brazil/Argentina. The players in these nations are significantly overvalued compared to comparable nations (in the CA110-130 range). Now they are in a similar area to Italy/France/England/Germany. These changes also change transfer behavior in the first season. Leagues will no longer be flooded with players from Spain/Argentina/Brazil.

It feels strange to say this but…..this is it for FM24. This is the most complete FM experience you can get :D A big thank you to everyone who supported me during this cycle. It was exhausting but also very fun and rewarding.

What comes next?

1. I will create another game setup which is between «very large» and «extremely large». The plan is to have that ready by the end of next week.

2. I’m starting testing some more experimental stuff for FM25 in FM24 already and prepare everything for a proper start of FM25. S a lot of researching stuff.

3. As soon as some news of FM25 drops, I’ll add my 2 cents on Patreon somewhere and keep you updated of the schedule for FM25.

Now I hope you enjoy your «last journey» with FM24!

Cheers

Thanks Dave, and good luck with all the work for 25. I'm very happy to have the most complete pack for 24. This will wait patiently in a folder until I start a new game and it will be good to know that when that happens, FM24 won't get better than that! Best wishes, Kevin.

Dan Stevens

Thanks a lot Dave for all your work it’s much appreciated! I am about to start a new save that will take me until I feel FM25 is ready for a try. Cheers!

Good afternoon Dave! Thank you so much for your work and dedication. I have one question: the files under the "24_25 season fixes folder" are complementary or have to substitute the ones with the same name? (i.e. club finances) Thank you!

daveincid

you're welcome:) Replace them with the other file

George Surugiu

Hi Dave, Knowing that your work is compatible with sortitoutsi db update, I set up both. I have a save which has many new players/wonderkids such as Gabriel Mec, Justin Lerma, Francesco Camarda and many others twice. If I start a new save and want to avoid this, which file should I remove/deactive from your pack? Is it the New Players 24_25 only or another one as well? Thank you very much!

Nick

Should I add all the files in the main group, as well as all the files from the 24_25 Season Fixes folder to my editor data and use all of them? So, for example, I would be using both Club Finances/Reputation AND Club Finances/Reputation 24_25 when I start a new save?

Nick

Thanks, how do I decide which to use? What exactly is the difference? Apologies if this was explained elsewhere and I missed it. If I want a world that most resembles fall 2023 I keep the regular and I do not add the 24_25... correct? Do you find one better than the other?

daveincid

if you are using current promotion/relegation files, the obviously 24/25

Etebaer

Well, FM25 is cancelled - does that mean a big break or continued development for FM24 regarding the realism patch?

Michael O'Connor

Many thanks for your work, I just paid for this file, as I saw you were no longer releasing publicly. Can I ask is this early access version the same as the final version please?

daveincid

it's just not for this month, next month as usual with public release. No changes planned

Charles

Awesome work Dave! Just bought the Early Access because the public one got canceled! So the March update will have no changes compared to the February one and will be the same with just some improvements or..?

daveincid

Thank you Charles:) The March update will be a newly update patch of my work, as every month

Charles

Thank you for responding first of all. I really wanna start (finally) my career with FM24. And apologies for perhaps asking stupid questions, but should i wait until your March update patch because it will contain important new changes or features or should i just go for it? Again apologies for being a nitwit (perhaps ;)

daveincid

I update a lot every month so it's a question which only you can aswer for yourself

Charles

I knew you were gonna say that (: Just hoped that you were gonna reveal that you might have some new features that weren't there before planned for March! Anyhoo.. thanks again. March will have a public release? Take care tara

daveincid

there are new features in the works^^ March will have a public version, same goes for April, May, June, July and so on unless the same happens again. I have my strict philosophy there.

Charles

Sorry to bother you again but one last question. I have another file which also changes the CA/PA of wonderkids. Will this one conflict with your CA/PA file or does one overwrite the other? That's it Thank you again

Claude Janssen

Hey there Dave, as I can't comment on the Behind the scene post, I hope that you'll be able to see it here. Given FM25 being what it is, would you consider creating an extended extremely large save file in ---full details--- at a season end (ie. before the stats are reset) ? My use case is that I have a potato PC and previous attempt had seen several full days just to get past preseason. And I would like to have the largest possible dataset to analyze. I'd gladly extend my support, if that's a concern. Cheers

daveincid

My uploaded savegames are meant to be seen as showcase of my changes and not to be used to start a save with. So thats nothing what I'm planning to do I'm sorry

Claude Janssen

hey there, would you know a db update that reliably allows to play in the French National 2? Even with that league selected, it's greyed out at start. It seems to be a SI issue as there are French updates around, but I'm unsure it won't mess up the rest.
