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.

    @matirix20
    already improved in my November update

    @leverkuhn
    You definetly have another interpretation of what is realistic and what isn't as I do
  • matirix20's avatar
    Why is Casado so weak and without potential?
  • leverkuhn's avatar
    The mod is great. One downside to it (although, to be fair, is extendable to the whole game) is the manager job unstability. In my save, both Arteta and Guardiola were sacked in just a few months into the first season with their teams 5th and 7th, and Emery went to Porto (?) after a memorable first season with Villa (finished 2nd and won the Conference League). I've tried not using the Increased Difficulty file, but it does not change much. Any clue as to how can we get more realism here? Thanks in advance
  • Limppa's avatar
    Ok thanks for the answers. I like this mod, but because of this sell "problem", I unfortunately have to choose only a light data package. Thanks for the effort on this mod and good luck to you.

    @Limppa
    No. As I already wrote: If you're using my files with the correct league files, there is no issues at all and Saudi-Arabia works the way it should
  • Limppa's avatar
    Could you put these Saudi club changes in a separate "file" that everyone can use or not use?
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @Limppa
    If you say so
  • Limppa's avatar
    If I don't use this mod, the Saudi teams always buy those over 30 years old away from Barcelona. Here's your mod, no team agrees to buy these players and I can't get them even if I give them away for free (they won't leave or Clubi blocks it)
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @Limppa
    If you buy a car with 2 seats, there can't be 5 people sitting in this car, right?
    In other words: It has nothing to do with my mod. Saudi-League rules are the reason for this.
  • Limppa's avatar
    Ok, I'll have to stop using this mod then. Nobody buys those old overpaid players from Barcelona, ​​the whole team will soon be bankrupt.
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @Jeffdekker
    Nothing to do with my mods. For the next time: Read the main post how and where to report possible bugs, thanks.

    Dave,
    Is it possible that your megapack bugs out when trying to go professional after promoting to League 2? In game time, 2 months ago getting professional was started, but it still didn't happen.
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @Limppa
    I already answered that question if you just scroll down a little:
    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

    What file do I need to delete to get the Saudi teams to buy again?

    I'm sure you have mentioned this. But do you need to start a new save for the update to take effect? Don't worry seen the massive sign start new save
  • taraji.tounsi's avatar
