    Hey! Values are basically set by several factors like CA, Team status in the team, his contract and others. I don't want to mess up with that for now since they are always updating the game.

    Hi @SirTAVARES, sorry if I post my question here, but it's about your Tweaks for FM24 ( https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-data-tweaks-by-sirtavares.html). I did the Data Update from Sortitoutsi and then inserted the CA/PA Changes file from your Tweaks. The only thing is that this file should also change the team line-ups (- Adjusted international lineups as much as possible - in the description). In fact, I noticed, for example, that Francesco Camarda without the CA/PA file is in Lecce's first team, but if I select the file, he moves to the U18 team. Basically, could the fact that this file modifies the lineups lead to problems with the Data Update, or to duplicate players, or not? Thank you very much.
  • banditeleven's avatar
    Hi, any plands to update player values based on transfermarkt/common sense? Most values are through the roof. Thank you again.
