"Base File - Reduced Player Contracts"
"Base File - Increased Player Ages"
As the names of the files indicates these increase the players age for all players by +1 year and reduces all contracts of all players by -1 year. Join dates have also been incremented by one year, so players who signed last summer will not reject contracts on that basis.
So a player who previously had 2 years left on his contract will now be in the last year of his contract.
And a player who was previously 30 will now be 31 and so on.
These files are OPTIONAL. Please try them and provide any feedback that may be useful.
One known problem with these two files is that young players who age will not have any improvement in attributes, so the data update is accurate in so far as a player who was 18 when FM18 was released is now 19, but it won't be realistic in so far as his attributes won't have improved at all and it will thus be harder for him to develop within the game. Unfortunately we don't have the time to modify player attributes so this won't be changing.
Enjoy!

Can you explain in a little more detail so I can try and figure out what is wrong?
paulo_fcp1
it doesn't work for me either. Essentially to keep it short the contracts dont get adjusted

thanks for the answer

Sorry I realised what the issue is, it should be fixed within an hour or two

His "join date" that the game uses to decide if he's willing to change club will have changed, but his contract start date won't have changed. Unfortunately this isn't data we have available to us.
I realise that this may be confusing, to try and explain as best I can, the game uses a hidden "join date" attribute to decide if a player wants to move, which is what is updated, but what you see on the contract screen as a "start date" is just for appearance and not actually used by the game engine itself.

Here's a revolutionary thought, how about testing before release?
SirTAVARES
hum what about you make your own file and use it? ^^
nobody lives from this site, people have their own life.

Shoddy work...
Wonderful attitude towards the users of this site btw, classy

Glad to see that someone else has noticed this.

Firstly: The update is made automatically every hour, we can't test every single one, that would require that someone manually tests every single hour, which is just ridiculous. The alternative is only releasing when someone is online and manually able to do so, which could be weeks between. I'm not really sure what you're expecting?
Secondly: Re-read your comment, there's no reason to be condescending and sarcastic. What's more your criticism doesn't even make sense... it's common sense that a live update such as this can't be constantly tested and requires users who are using it to find them and report them. That's all thats happened here and to criticise the fact that it did happen as "shoddy work" is absurd. If you have suggestions of how you would do it better i'd be very grateful, but I have a feeling you don't.
Thirdly: With all the thousands of hours and contributions that go into it, you could at least give a better bug report than "contracts doesn't work" like, what didn't work? All players, or some players, which ones did you check? Staff as well as players? Which version where you using that didn't work? It's literally a collaborative update that anyone can contribute to, but you've contributed nothing and you can't even bothered to post a sentence long bug report, but can take the time to be critical and be sarcastic? Literally, your sarcastic second line was longer than your helpful bug report. Take a look at yourself and your attitude, seriously.

So I have dowloaded the new update. Went Newcastle all teams updated in there respective league certain signings updated but still have slimani, Kennedy on loan and players like Mitrovic still on loan at Fulham. Is that meant to be up to date or not?
Thanks in advance

furthermore, the picture in the database is incorrect -- it depicts eintracht's kit manager igor simonov (he was born in 1958):

he should be added to the database.

Hi
Does this work on transfers I submit today? For example will a 4 year contract that ends in 2022 effectively end in 2021 when starting a new save meaning the contract is 4 years and not 5 years in game?
Thanks
isellyarn
The reason would be because if starting a new game in 2017, as if it's 2018 (which is the effect of this brilliant optional file), I would prefer the World Cup not to happen at the end of my first season, and not have to wait for what would then be three years in-game for the Euros. Realised I have rambled on, but if anyone can make sense of what I have said and advise me I would be grateful

Is it possible to include Portsmouth in the Increased player ages and
reduce player contracts base files?
Footygamer
Are you saying that Portsmouth isn't updated but every single other team is? That would be a bug because Portsmouth should be included.
Feldthaus
I tried to buy Luke McGee from Portsmouth from the beginning of the first season, but he would not negotiate because he had just arrived. So I assume, that there hasn't been applied changes that makes i possible to buy players that arrived at the club last summer?
