FM23 "Increase-Realism"-Megapack AUGUST ALPHA (14.07.23) (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

The next update is ready:)

This month there were 4 main points where I focussed on:

1. recreating the financial madness in Saudi Arabia (both salaries and transfer fees of AI teams).

2. further CA/PA adjustments + new wonderkid

3. General financial adjustments

4. fine-tuning of existing files and their influences

A total of 11 files were updated.

Financial madness in Saudi Arabia

If you follow world football, you may have noticed that money is no longer (it wasn't before but now it's like "monopoly"-cash) an issue in Saudi Arabia and that absurdly high salaries are paid. The league was already financially strong even without updates, but compared to what is going on now, it is almost ridiculous. I have now adjusted this within the bounds of what is possible.

What does that mean exactly?

1. players are signed with netto-salaries of up to €45m/y.

2. more international top players are being signed (excluding absolute world stars in their prime aged 23-29). But they do sign players at a level like Ruben Neves.

3. the adjustments change the transfer market worldwide, as suddenly there is much more money involved. This is like a "watering can principle" throughout all leagues. 3. From the English Premier League to the 2nd division in Romania. So there will be more transfers between €90m-€150m and beyond.

4. the long-term stability/continuity has already been tested.

CA/PA adjustments/ new wonderkids

I have updated another 1500 players. New players were also created. Among them players like Christopher Bonsu Baah, who moved within 6 months from Shooting Stars (Ghana) via Sarpsborg 08 (Norway) for €5.2m to KRC Genk in Belgium.

In addition, I have made structural adjustments that slightly lower the attribute "professionalism" of all players in the database which had a fixed value. The reason for this is an excessive increase through mentoring groups or squad personality after several years.  With the adjustments I was able to minimise the problem. The difference between all players remains the same.

General financial adjustments
I have studied the financial behaviour as well as some reports and based on those I have slightly adjusted the financial behaviour in England, Spain and in a few other nations. This is primarily noticeable in long-term saves (2032+).

Fine-tuning of existing files and their influences
As the name suggests, I have refined many smaller things. This includes awards, ticket prices, finances, club transfer preferences and player development.

That would be roughly what this month's update includes. A test save will already be uploaded tomorrow.

Due to the major financial adjustments and the CA/PA changes, it almost feels like a new game or "FM24 light" to me. However, the extreme purchasing power in Saudi Arabia still takes some time for me personally to get used to^^

Plans up to early-access:

Everything has actually already been tested to such an extent that big changes are unlikely.

However, I will continue to update the CA/PA file every week. However, most of the leagues are already done. So there will probably be more adjustments to smaller nations.


IMPORTANT:

As always, the download link includes all necessary files. First delete all previous files from the "editor data" folder.

If you have any questions, please send me a PM on Patreon :)

Have fun!

Cheers
