FM26 "Increase-Realism"-Megapack FEBRUARY ALPHA (09.01.26) (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Another month, another massive update! For both, men's and women's football!

Some info first:
1. PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST CAREFULLY, it contains some vital information if you play with men's and women's football at the same time.
2. I've released a first version of my "List of files I recommend for FM26", so all of those can be used with the February ALPHA.
3. There is a bug when you open edited files with the pre-game editor in another language as they are being edited first. In my case, that's German. For example if you load the CA/PA changes file in English, it will show you a lot of failed changes while there are actually none. I highly recommend to not edit any of my files with your own adjustments. The chance of breaking stuff completely is high.
4. a.) For women's football: see the attachment below of which nations are optimized in the February ALPHA. I recommend to only use those nations plus delete all of the league files I've made.
b.) You can take all the nations listed from falsobohemio's megapack. His download-link is a bit chaotic. You can only select one file per nation (Colombia for example has three versions), otherwise you will won't be able to select that nation.
c.) you need to load a men's league file for Saudi-Arabia if you want to play the women's league (bug). Just set the mens league levels to "none" if you play with women only, otherwise it will load a huge amount of male players swell.
d.) It's crucial to use "add players to playable teams" when setting up a save, simply because a lot of leagues do not have enough real female players
e.) if you play with men and women's leagues at the same time, DELETE the "realistic injuries file". It's included in the "Increase Realism Megapack Womens version"

INCREASE REALISM MEGAPACK FEBRUARY ALPHA

👨‍🦰 Men's Football:

✅ Increased difficulty

I have increased the difficulty for signing wonderkids for cheap/for low reputation clubs. Wonderkids will be more expensive/demand higher salary and/or are unwilling to even join you depending which league you're playing. The same counts for high CA players. It's now more difficult to just buy high CA players for you mid-table club and win everything in 3 years :D Skeptical? If you have the in game editor, load a save with my files vs. without my files, go to the same club and see which wonderkids you can sign in vanilla vs my modded version;)

✅ CA/PA adjustments/new wonderkids WINTER UPDATE

• 3'500+ players adjusted

• U17 World Cup players adjusted

• 34 of the biggest leagues worldwide are done

✅ Worldwide Award Fixes

Winning awards actually matters now, worldwide

✅ Worldwide Derby Fixes

New derbies added and fixed existing ones

👩 WOMEN'S FOOTBALL:

In total there are over 38k changes for women's football, covering several aspects which I've done for the men's football swell.

✅ CA/PA adjustments/new wonderkids

✅ 92 nations optimized for:

• realistic longterm CA values for 92 nations

• finances balanced

• transfer preferences balanced

• salaries balanced

• injury behaviour adjustments
  
  

I think that's it for this month:D Enjoy;)


In case some explanations are unclear, please drop a comment under this post instead of a PM. I have a feeling that you might be not the only one:D


Cheers
David
