Football Manager 2024 Data Updates - FM24 Increase Realism Megapack by Daveincid
Hello everyone!

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.

    Saudi clubs are working completely fine. They do not sign any new foreign players at the beginning because they are limited in how many foreign players they are able to sign. I've uploaded several test saves on Patreon where you can see the behaviour of Saudi clubs:
    Test-save with all nations playable in year 2040

    Hi Dave, currrently using your database but I notice that the Saudi Club seems broken. The likes of Al Nassr or Al Hillal don't try to sign old and high rep player anymore and seems rarely spending at all. On all of my saves, the only Saudi Club that are active in the transfer market ar Al Fateh and Al Batin and even they don't even try to target any high rep player. Is there a way to fix this?

    @AiZaK
    I don't I'm sorry. Shortlists are also buggy in FM24, so the best way to see what player I've added is with the pre-game editor.

    @arturs123
    1. read the main post how and where to leave feedback, thanks
    2. There is nothing wrong with the August version. I do check my updates every month before releasing them: I've even uploaded a test-save in 2040 on Patreon with all leagues uploaded. Everything is well balanced.
  • arturs123's avatar
    There is something wrong in the August version, at my place it is hard with transfers, it is practically impossible to sell someone and checking transfers around the world unfortunately it is similar, very few transfers, only lesser known players for low amounts. For a test I just fired up the July update and everything is ok, by the way my previous save was just on this update and I had no problems.
