Data Update Home Thread

@muraty can you give some explanation?

Might be a stupid question, but if you use the update with the “Your World” game mode, does it have the squads as they were as of the start of Summer 2024 or as they were in Summer 2023?

Why not update Flamengo coach Filipe Luís??

Will the changes in Turkish league structure be added soon?

Hi @Footygamer , hoping you can help me before I get stuck into some more updates. With FM25 delayed, I know loads of people are likely looking to play updated editor file leagues. Personally, I use a file for the 24/25 Scottish leagues which includes tiers 6-10.  Generally, tiers 1-4 are well covered and up to date already, tier 5 partially in terms of this data update.

For some of the tier 6 clubs, the league website hosts a list of current squads which is accurate. While it may miss some players, those listed on the site are current players and you can see an example here:

https://www.wosfl.co.uk/team/692125234/504402802.html

My question is simply, will you guys accept the official league site as a source given the level of the league/clubs and players I will be submitting updates for? 

I appreciate you can't be too relaxed, but at the same time, at this level of football, the official league site is likely the best and most accurate source of 24/25 squads? 

In truth, lots of the players won't be in the database, but am I okay to go ahead and update those who are as I come across them using the site as the source?

Thanks for taking time to read, didn't want to start a big task if my source will be queried or not regarded as valid. 

Cheers

When the changes pass through testing they can be added, bare in mind changes to structure create potential long-term game breaking issues if they are not tested appropriately.

Idk if here's the right place to talk about that but when i load the updated data base in game, it shows that this player (Aleksa Maras) is a goalkeeper when in reality he is a striker. Hope you can fix it.
P.S His age and birthday is also wrong

I'm a bit confused by the question haha… Of course we would accept the official league site as a source. Why are you under the impression that we wouldn't?

I have a couple of quesitons.  I'm trying to use Daveincid's October Increased Realism and the October Date Update from here.  Is it possible you all know which files conflict?  Also, when trying to load the game the England League file and Club files won't load together.  I have to disable the club file.  Any thoughts on that?

Thanks, because the data on some of those sites at lower levels isn't always current. Albeit, in this case it is. Some of the other information like contract start and end dates isn't there either, but at that level it is almost always one year at a time anyway. I started with a couple last night and will keep going. 

If I extend my project to the other official leagues in Scotland at those levels, would you accept club websites as valid for players there (I know at higher levels, clubs don't always show everyone e.g. James McCarthy at Celtic isn't on their site anymore, but there has never been an official note from anyone as to whether or not he has been released etc.). But at these levels, is it enough to accept current squads on official club sites as evidence a player is there in the absence of any other evidence?

Thanks

Yeah absolutely any official website is a valid source, probably the most valid source

I see that you all updated the Bruno Fernandes contract and it should expire June 30 2027.  I'm not see that in game when I start a new session.  It shows contract started 8/14/23 and expires 6/30/26.  Any thoughts?  

I'm also using FMRTE custom start date and starting in Preseason 2024.

Also using Daveincid's October Increased Realism mod.

Yes the default data update is not compatible with the custom start date, you will have to use the South America data update which is compatible with starting in 2024.

For games starting in 2023 we reduce the year by 1 to make it more realistic.
