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.

    Because you installed another mod which does that.

    Why do I have Roberto Baggio as a player? just woke up seeing that PSG bought Baggio as a free agent

    @arturs123
    Thank you!
    Correct, Sponsorship income will be displayed more accurate after the first season. Values will be more dynamic in general depending on club reputations & other factors. It's a needed tweak to ensure that sponsorship-income is more dynamic compared to the vanilla game.
  • arturs123's avatar
    Super job, really appreciate and thank you.
    I have one comment or question. The CLUB SPONSORSHIP ADJUSTMENTS file causes that at the start of the game most of the teams in the revenue from sponsors have “0” (except the top clubs like Real, Barca, Juve, Milan). I understand that the amount of revenue will show only after the season? And since, for example, Milan has €44 million, Juve €40.5million, will these values change after the season for them? Why do Milan and Juve have such amounts at the start, while the now more powerful and rich (than Milan and Juve) Inter has 0? In the premier league, on the other hand, all teams have some amount at the start and no one has 0.

    No
    @Golden84 @Durgs
    Both questions are answered in the main post
  • Durgs's avatar
    Will this work with mods that fix cups and add league's and add staff ?
  • golden84's avatar
    Hello, can you continue playing the same game once the mod update is installed? Or do I have to start from scratch?
    ¿Hola se puede seguir jugando la misma partida una vez instalado la actualización del mod? ¿O tengo que empezar desde cero?

    Has AC Milan's B team called Milan Futuro been added? They are playing in Serie C.

    When i tried extracting the database, i received this error. I don't want to click skip so do you have any idea what might be the problem. https://imgur.com/a/B0ZNZJ1

    11th July was August ALPHA for Patreons. I try to change as little as possible between ALPHA and public release so that my supporters can enjoy the next update as early as possible. I only do fixes if there are major issues.
    Not sure if you really expect that I change every file each month? There are files which simply do not need further tweaks.

    @Daveincid I see, thank you for that.
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @kb_0911
    Correct. If you do change things, the file won't work properly anymore
  • kb_0911's avatar
    @Daveincid Hi, does it mean if I edit your file with English setting, bugs will happen? I have made some personal changes and I found once I signed some players, their RCA and CA will keep boosting until all attitudes become 20. I am not sure if it is related.
  • MDHere's avatar
    @Daveincid Thanks for getting back to me. I've updated all my drivers, done a fresh install of FM and even done a fresh Windows install and I'm still getting the issues, figured I'd ask
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @MDHere
    Unrelated to my mods. I've never had such few crashes as in FM25. Updating your graphic drivers usually fix the majority of the crashes.
  • MDHere's avatar
    Hi, love the packs but I seem to be having a lot of issues with the game crashing. I don't know if this is a common issue or if you have any idea what might be causing it to crash?
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @alfredo de stifano
    @rogeh
    I found the issue. We were both right. It's a language bug in the pre-game editor. I edit mainly in german. If you load the file with german settings, you won't see any failed changes and it works fine. If you load the file in english, it will give you over 8k errors which will affect the game if you further edit and save it in english. It doesn't affect anyone who doesn't edit anything in this file or edit in german. I'll post it in the bug forum once I'm back from holidays.
    Cheers

    @alfredo de stifano
    for the last time:
    1. All changes are working
    2. As far as I'm aware, you can't see which attributes I've changed. It's displayed as "all attributes" for whatever reason but this is nothing that bothers me. Changes are working and thats all I care. If you want to do further changes for your private save, feel free to do so.
    3. I won't further comment on this topic. As written in the main post, I usually do not comment anyway.
    Cheers
  • alfredo de stifano's avatar
    dav i think im confused fam , for example i got this guy ugochukwu from chelsea u changed his CA but actual attribultes unchanged then i got
    all attributes edited entry success no (11) of them so is it a bug or am i missing something , is there other like main version and this is an update? so i need all of them
  • Daveincid's avatar
    @alfredo de stifano
    See the discussion just below:
    2. Some failed changes are normal because I do not clean the history of changes I made. It has no impact on the final changes and there are no failed changes for those.
