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:
Largest CA/PA update available for FM24
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 & much more!
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.

I got a bad flu. Due to this, the release planned for Friday will be postponed by a few days.

As written in the post:
YOUTH & TRAINING FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS
This file improves the balance of the current ability of newgens when they are created. In some cases/nations it was generally too high and in others too weak. The adjustments to the training facilities then ensure that the subsequent development speed is realistic.
I guess if there are more injuries it would slow down the inherently fast player development, which FM has for young players. But is there more to it than that?

At a time when there are so many data and payment card thefts, you force people to pay with cards, it's your business, but it's not very fair...
I will wait because I have no choice, there was no need to elaborate on the topic and write that the fault is on another side...
my nerves....dude take it or leave it. If it doesn't work for you: wait for public release. Topic closed
""If, when you try to make a payment, you do not see the option to pay using your PayPal account balance, but there is information about a payment card, it means that this payment preference has been chosen by a given merchant. Merchants can choose what payment methods they provide to their customers, so if you cannot pay with funds from your balance, it means that the merchant only accepts payments by payment card connected to your PayPal account.""
So you set it so that you can't pay otherwise...

And besides sprints, frequent injuries occur during training, what is this due to?
Issues with too high salaries in some cases is on my list for the next update.
Not much I can do about backup GK's/ don't really see a general issue with it.
Please read the main post next time where and how to leave feedback. It's explained in detail. Thanks.
Newcastle for example have Tonali on 1 mil a week, Isak on 725k and a further 11 players on over 300k a week. Arsenal have 12 players over 300k per week, Man City 16, Liverpool 12, Chelsea 10 and others similar.
Some of the players are terrible too - Arsenals backup GK is on 575k and hes championship quality at best.
I'm not sure if this is due to the pack, or just what normally happens to view only leagues but it might be worth looking into.
