I’m excited to present the latest version of my "Increase Realism" Megapack for FM24.
The Football Manager database is incredibly detailed but still leaves room for significant improvement in key areas. The "Increase Realism" Megapack has been created to address those gaps. It is the result of years of research and constant refinement and aims to make the in-game football world more authentic, dynamic, and logical in every aspect.
This pack does not alter the core structure of the game but enhances all relevant parameters — from financial systems and club data to player development, transfer behavior, and international competitions.
Key highlights include:
Deep structural changes in talent development for every nation, based on numerous indicators such as HDI, population size, average attendances, and financial resources. Realistic club finances, market values, wage structures, and sponsorship logic. Overhauled transfer preferences for clubs and nations, making transfer decisions far more realistic and strategic. Missing data for over 1,500 clubs added, including stadiums, rivalries, founding years, and city coordinates. Climate impact integration and adjustments to injury probability for more realistic squad management challenges. Refined referee behavior to better reflect in-game realism. Additions of international competitions such as the FIFA U17 World Cup and Blue Stars Youth Cup. Increased difficulty and long-term balancing, ensuring more challenging and dynamic saves.
This project is updated every month to stay aligned with real-world developments and community feedback. Early access and exclusive content are available on Patreon. The free public release is usually on the first Friday of every month.

Hi I just noticed duplicate players in my save, which is now in the 5th season.
The players I noticed were:
Francesco Camarda and Chido Obi-Martin
Note: I also have the FM24 Transfers & Data Update Packs by TheNotoriousPr0 installed in which there are new wonderkids added
Is there anything in your files I could remove to not have this happen again in future saves? Thanks
But my players get injured EVERY single game with this.
Start of the season, in the first 5 matches there were 7 injuries. All with sharp match fitness and no fatigue.
This can't be right

"This is my version of the "most complete FM ever"!"
I have been a huge fan of Barca and Football Manager for over 20 years. However, I don't want to spend a lot of time on the game because I have other commitments, etc. I have already planned to play the "final Barca game" a few times. But now that you wrote that it will be the most complete update, you have convinced me to actually start the last game of my life!
At least, the editor will probably slightly change something in Barca and Real, and so I will make the rules of the game that the time in the game cannot be further than in real life. And so, as an FM connoisseur, I will play slowly.
Thank you so much for this latest most complete update!
Best regards, Dave!
Still trying my best with all downloads and add ons. Thanks for the great work and extra realism. I have gone through the comments to see if anyone has mentioned so I don't waste your time but cant see a comment...All great stuff except I have noticed that Saudi clubs, who buy all different players of different age and works wonderfully, only give players very moderate wages? Example, signed Lookman (Al Hilal) and he got wages of £30k. When i went through the transfer timeline, everyone was the same when it came down to buying players from Europe. It used to be 6,7,800K regions and now that? Any idea why possibly? Again, thanks for the great work and effort. Much appreciated - Dave
