FM 2024 Fantasy Scenarios - A New RetroDatabase: 2003-2026 Edition By OddinoFM
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you could gather the best players of the last two decades in their prime versions? This isn't just another retro database; it's a project designed for maximum playability and nostalgia. It features a deep rebalancing to ensure that all your saves remain playable and don't "break" as the years go by.

🚀 Main Features

🔍 Attention to detail: Focusing not only on the major European leagues but also on Latin American teams! We haven't forgotten the talent in countries like Peru or Chile.

⚙️ Complete Overhaul: A huge number of players have been created and modified from scratch, adding specific player traits, correct positions, and revamped club economies sourced from previous FM editions. The necessary realism is there so that legends like Riquelme, Anderson, and Chilavert feel truly authentic.

🏟️ Club Resurgence: Experience the return of iconic clubs such as Chievo Verona, Catania, Bordeaux, Anzhi, and Metalist.

📅 Future Support: A future version is already being prepared for Football Manager 2026! I hope to have it ready before the middle of the year.

📦 Extra Content: And many more new features! I highly recommend reading the PDF included in the .RAR file, which explains the history and details of the files.

¡Excelente! Para que la descripción de tu Retro Database en sitios como FM Scout o foros internacionales se vea profesional, acá tenés la traducción con las banderas correspondientes y los nombres de las ligas ajustados a la época que estás recreando (especialmente las de España que mencionaste).

    @spvn Hi! I'll try to add a few players to the Vietnamese league. I can't promise it will be as extensive as other leagues, but I’ll make sure to include some interesting players. Also, remember that you can make the league playable by using other add-ons, like a Vietnamese league structure file!

    @Lerho Send me a DM on Discord and let's talk; my username is oddinooddino. I'll make you a custom database if you'd like, I'd love for you to enjoy it as much as the rest.
  • giorgosss21's avatar
    what leagues the database has ?

    @oddino

    Ok, I somewhat understand. But its disappointing that there is some great, great players well over 30 yo, past their prime. I dont expect them all to be wonderkids but for example, if oldest were like 28, you could build your team around your possibly favourite players at lets say 5 years and then try to build around next generation. Otherwise seems to be great mod.

    @lerho

    I try to keep things balanced since most squads are already very strong. If I set their age as 'wonderkids,' they would play for 20 seasons. To compensate, I’ve added more than a thousand young prospects to the database so you'll have new talent to play with as the years go by."

    Why did you make so many great players so old? Past their prime. Many players are useful 1-2 seasons only and far from their prime.

    Yes! It is fully compatible. However, I highly recommend using the included registration files just in case
