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:
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.

    People, is there anyone who pays on Pantheon via PayPal? Is it possible to pay for the service from a PayPal account or only by card? I've never had such a hard time making a payment anywhere
  • onurx's avatar
    @daveincid lol.

    @onurx
    That's your personal opinion. The only opinion that matters in the end is my opinion ;) No need to further discuss this the injuries-topic. I did so many times already.
    Cheers

    @daveincid but this does not coincide with "realism".

    @onurx
    Every year I hear this and my answer is every year the same: If you're having much more injuries compared to AI-teams (Injurie-rates for AI-teams are fine) then it's due to the human manager and not the file itself.

    Players are injured extremely frequently and for long periods of time. Every season, at least five of my players are injured for at least 3 months. Something like this rarely happens in today's football. I wish I had read the descriptions more carefully.

    Unfortunately, when I want to purchase your subscription via Pay Pal, I get the message "to complete the purchase, add a card" (even though I have money in my account, it tells me to add a card so that I can purchase something)
    ok, there's nothing we can do
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @zamek9
    Patreon accepts paypal....anyways...if it simply doesn't work for you then wait for the public release. I do not have nerves to deal with those kind of issues.
  • zamek9's avatar
    well, there is one problem that is not solved, I have Pay Pal and the money in my account, but I don't have a card in my Pay Pal account because I don't use it and I can't do anything
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @zamek9
    you can cancel the subscription at any time. Become a member today, cancel tomorrow, you paid once only = problem solved
  • zamek9's avatar
    But I only wanted to buy your beta faster so that I wouldn't have to play again in January after updating your realism package (I always play in the lower leagues, the English 10th league) and I don't see any way to do it, I wanted to even pay a monthly subscription so that I could get it but I can't do it either because payment only by card
    maybe you could introduce the purchase of this package if someone wants to get it faster? that would solve the problem
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @zamek9
    On Patreon you can pay yearly and save 16%, so feel free to use that option.
  • zamek9's avatar
    You can do what you want, it's your job, but I think that you would have many more people and subscriptions if you made a one-time fee available, I am an example of this, I don't use payment cards and I can't get into the pantheon, there are probably many people like that, generally I just wanted to pay a month subscription to get the Increase Realism Megapack faster (only I'm interested in it) but I don't have the card and I can't do anything
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @zamek9
    It's my work and I decide how I run my stuff. Thanks
  • zamek9's avatar
    Why don't you make a one-time payment available on pantheon? I never use the card, and you only pay periodically by card, even with Pay Pal I can't pay once, I want a payment card
