15.02.25Hello everyone!I have created another "extended db setup" called "IN BETWEEN" (I've run out of ideas for names. 😆). Download-Link at the bottom is updated.This setup is between "very large" and "extremely large." The reason for this file is that I saw room for further optimization between performance and realism. For those who want more realism than the "very large" setup but find the "extremely large" setup too big, the "In between" setup is ideal. 🙂

My next test save (date still open) will be done with this setup.

Cheers,Daveincid

20.09.24Hello everyone!I have created 4 custom "db setups" and 1 "game_setup" for you for all default nations + 7 custom db setups" and 1 "game_setup" which includes all league files of my "List of files I recommend fo Football Manager 24".The setups are designed so that there is something for weaker systems as well as for high-end.

The setups are my personal recommendation and can of course be adapted by you as you wish! ABOUT THE SETUPS:The setups contain now all FIFA-Nations from all continents. The latest update contains custom lower leagues for the biggest setup (extremely large). All other setups remain untouched.In the last year's post I wrote down the exact numbers you can expect of each setup. This year it depends which mode you play. "Real-World"-mode has more players as in the other setups. So "Real-World"-mode might be a bit slower as the same setup in a different mode, but still much faster as in FM23!

DETAIL LEVEL:

The detail level with which various competitions are simulated must be set after the start of the game. (Options -> "FM Symbol" -> "Detail Level") These can slow down the game considerably, especially if your PC/laptop has few CPU cores (less than 8 cores and 16 threads). So it depends a lot on your hardware.

FOR ALL SETUPS I RECOMMEND:

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS

Match Detail: All Competitive Matches

CONTINENTAL COMPETITIONS

Match Detail: All Competitive Matches (or the continent you are actively managing)DOMESTIC CLUB COMPETITIONS

Match Detail: This is very individual depending your CPU. For smaller setups I would set the top leagues in England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Argentina as fully simulated, not more.IMPORTANT!

If the save becomes too slow, reduce the detail level rather than the number of playable leagues. I also advise against adding leagues at a later stage. Only the removal of lower leagues, for example if you start in league 4 or 5, could be useful.

HOW TO INSTALL:

These folders must be placed (if they do not already exist) in the same location as the "editor data" folder. So: Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024 (NOT INTO THE EDITOR DATA ITSELF)

The "game_setups" must be loaded during league selection (bottom left).

The "db setups" must be loaded via the "advanced db" when creating the game.

apologies for the question lol im new to this and FM, https://www.patreon.com/posts/92696333? < i following this guide of yours. one thing i didn't understand is what is the benefit of doing this custom game you have in this link vs the files in the guide?

Hanson Hoang

Using the extended large setup for my journeyman pentagon challenge.

Y O

You say "Always load the corresponding "db setup". So "extremely small" + "extremely small" or "medium" + "medium"." but there is only one db setup file. Am I missing something?

daveincid

My bad, they are now the same for all setups. So there is only one db setup file. I'll adjust the text when I have time.

capo

"The league files I made won't be included anymore because MasterIgor makes them." Does this mean the extended db setups are now obsolete? Or does this not change anything? When using MasterIgor's league files, should I use the extended db setups?

capo

So, when using MasterIgor's league files, should I use the extended db setups?

daveincid

yes, but his files aren't updated for the winter update yet. I'll update my setups once the majoriy of the league files are updated by other creators. The same goes for my "list of files"

capo

Is the extended setup already fully updated and compatible with MasterIgors files, including his latest Europe update as of end of April?

Kieran

I play FM24 on the steam deck and this is probably a big ask as you play on laptop so you might not know. But I was wondering if you would know which database would be best to get the ultimate experience but without it being very slow?

daveincid

Hi Kieran. i have no idea how things differ on steam deck vs. laptop/PC, I'm afraid.

Kieran

Cheers for the reply. I have one more question. If I make every league viewable with the extended database (masterigor leagues included) and put England on playable, it leaves me with 106,000 players, any reason not to do this or is it okay?

daveincid

Such setups won't give you much accuracy long-term. It just "looks" nice for 1 or 2 years.

Darius Moses

Wondering, is their any league db that could be an addon to this mod? Really wanna do a build a nation with at least 4-5 leagues with this mod

Darius Moses

Okay thanks for the quick reply, seeing masterigors packs now, would any @timo@ league packs work with this ?

daveincid

you can try but I recommend MasterIgor

Darius Moses

Awesome for sure will do, whats the most player database recommended? Im running an i5 14k

daveincid

There is no general recommendation + player count isn't really an important measurement. The amount of playable leagues matters much more. Just use the setup which feels "quick enough" for you

Darius Moses

Will do really appreciate you reaching back, great mod btw keep doing what your doing

Cookie

Did anyone of you get this message and knows what to do? "warning: rule group has empty discipline rules" Thanks ind advance!

Pete Shaw

I get these messages as well. As they were all prefixed AMD, and I am using an Intel/Nvidia setup, I assume that is why. Either way, clicking OK on all and proceeding works fine.

Onur

Hi Dave, sorry for the dumb question, I am trying to figure out how things work. If I download this custom setup, do I still have to download all editor data?

daveincid

Hi Onur, it would make sense if you download all recommended LEAGUE files. It still works without some (they simply won't be selected).

Relaxinator1

Question to: DOMESTIC CLUB COMPETITIONS Match Detail: This is very individual depending your CPU. For smaller setups I would set the top leagues... What do you mean, what could I set if I selected extended setup EXTREMELY LARGE so that it still works.? What are your PC configurations to have a comparison? What are your recommendations for larger setups?

daveincid

I mainly simulate on a M3max, sometimes 7950x. There is not a setup where it doesn't work anymore. It's just slower. The recomendations for all setups are the same in terms of detail level

Nicks2180

Hello Dave, Thank you for your work which makes the game even more realistic, however I have a question I currently have an Intel Core I7 8700K 3.7GHZ and 16GB Ram and I would like to know what DB I can take without the game being too slow, I also added countries from Master Igor's update. Thanks for the answer.

daveincid

extended medium setup if you have some patience👍

domink23

Hi Dave, first of all, I hope you and your family are doing well. All the best! My question is: I think I haven't understood the game setups completely yet; If I load a league as playable, is it necessary to also check the "all player's from" said league in the database dropdown or will all players from this league be loaded without this being checked because of the league being marked as playable? I hope I didn't make that too complicated. Regards :)

daveincid

We're all fine:) Thank you! player settings are also included in the setups. It also loads players from unloaded leagues.

domink23

That's good to hear. I think I've formulated my question wrong: I like to use my own league setup and I was wondering if I need your player setup if most of the leagues ticked in it are already made playable. I use the same continent settings in the player setup though. I hope this has made it a bit clearer what I tried to say :)

domink23

Sorry, I've got another question about the setups: Is there a specific reason why many leagues in your setups are only "playable" and not "playable/view only below"? I'd guess it would slow the game down but please correct me if I'm wrong.

daveincid

setups are designed for the best ratio of speed/realism

Nivaldo Neto

Hi Dave, first of all. Thank you for your work! I have a question, usually the Copa Libertadores is dominated by Brazilian teams (which is realistic but I would like a more balanced continental competition), do you think increasing the match details of the other leagues can help balance that?

daveincid

you're welcome:) it's important that as many leagues in south america are playable (at least top division). I don't think that the detail level of the domestic league does much but full detail of the international competiton (libertadores) definetly helps

Emre

Hello Dave, I’m using a MacBook Pro with M1 chip and 8GB RAM. Which database setup do you recommend?

daveincid

Hi Emre, extended setup large if you have some patience should be fine:)

Dominic Griffiths

Hi dave quick question with the detail level ive got a pretty good pc i7 13700 howver im unsure on how to best implement the detail level. Is it best to load leagues from multiple countries. Should i load the cups in countries. so for example england like if i was to load prem championship and league 1 for example + fa cup (if so how much should that be main stages? thats what i tend to use now) any advice i would love on how you think is best to run for the detail level. I dont know if im just misunderstanding what youve put in your post. :D

daveincid

cups won't consume much so I would definetly add them fully in the league you manage. In other nations it's up to you. I would definetly set them in full detail in the top nations like France, Spain, Germany etc. This increases the chance that some lower league side might kick out a top club more often

Dominic Griffiths

Thanks Dave sorry for more questions how many leagues should be on all competetive matches. Like top 2/3 in top leagues with all competitive for every nations top league? or would you go more? should i load u21? sorry if this is answered elsewhere appreciate any advice

daveincid

there is no general answer. This is very individual from person to person and how much patience they have. The more the better of course

Dominic Griffiths

ok but what would you recommend is the better ones to enable 1st. For example would you enable u21 cup over a low league cup? u21 league over vanarama north/south for example? Sorry know you busy and stuff just want to know what you thinks best when it comes to this. Looked online and its very hard to find anything other than you. (literally 1st thing i looked up and it said you expaln it on patreon) :D

daveincid

no need to fully simulate U21's at club level. I hope that was enough to bring in some clarity👍

Ricky Brown

What set up do you recommend for a laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, great work btw

daveincid

as mentioned below this is very individual from person to person (patience). I personally would go with the large setup

Dominic Griffiths

Yeah thank you dave really appreciate the mod and the work you do. If i could give more i would but life isnt kind to me right now im afraid so 10£ is pushing it for me already. Luckily i play fm religiously so i can justify the 10£ a month. But again You do a top job with the mod and appreciate the time and effort to do it and also communicate with people asking questions like myself. I did dm you this but if you do need a qa or anything dont please hesitate to ask.

Ricky Brown

Cheers, I've started a game, but a few staff on the database don't have any names? Any idea what the cause is?

Joseph Barge

Hi Dave, Absolutely phenomenal work. Thank you for the time and effort you put in for the FM community. Quick question to clarify, if I may. Does the extended setup automatically add more leagues, or do you have to download the other leagues you suggest extra (masterigor?) Many thanks again

daveincid

thank you:) You need to download the league files. Once put in the editor data folder, the custom game setups can be loaded. They also work if you don't put all nations in the editor data folder

Qlimackz

hey dave. will the game setups get updated for FM26?

daveincid

yes, planned for early december
