I'm trying to do a Cerezo Osaka save on FM24 with the data update and none of the real-life transfers happened, but when I check for them on this site's database, they're in the correct squad. Why is that?

Are you using a cracked version of the game?
Are you installed it correctly there's a “common mistakes” section in the installation guide?
You'll get more help if you give more details, specific players, screenshots of your installation folder etc. Otherwise we're just blindly guessing, try and think about it from the other persons perspective and what would make their life easier to help you.

I'm using the Epic Games version.
Not sure what screenshots I can send, the database works. Every transfer I can think of from Europe is there in-game, but, for example Lucas Fernandes (who signed for Cerezo Osaka in July I believe), is still at his old club.
It looks like it's only a Japan problem? The transfer appears when you search up Lucas Fernandes on this website, but in-game nothing

Are you starting in 2024 or 2023? If you're starting in 2024 you should download the “south America” data update. It's listed under alternative updates on the data update page.

I installed that as well, but it still starts the game in 2023. Maybe it's just a J League problem

Sorry i'm not really sure what you're doing, you're going to have to give alot more information if you'd like some help, your responses so far are very vague and confusing.
What do you mean “still starts in 2023”? I asked you what year you're starting your game, off the top of my head I don't remember what year Japans starts in so I asked you, you need to give me that information. If it starts in 2023 then you need the default update if it starts in 2024 you need the south america data update.
Please share exactly step by step everything you're doing, all the extra files you're using, what leagues you're using, what dates the game is, what players are there and which are missing, which clubs are they at instead of the ones you expect etc. You can get lots of this information just by going to FM Logo > Game Status from your saved game and screenshotting that.
One thing I can randomly guess without more information is that when starting a new save you've selected the old database, it's hard to describe and i'm not going to load up the game to take a screenshot if you can't be bothered to do the same, but when starting a new save you have the option of which database to use in the top right, there's one called 24.3 and one called 24.0 or possibly just “Football Manager”. You might be using the old database.
