Data Update Home Thread

Yeah, so I saw that previous post and I actually looked into it - though I didn't come back and reply. That situation is slightly different, because it is two entries in the base-game database as far as I can tell. Of course, it can be resolved - I just need to look up which one is the ‘original’ (with the completely filled-out record/history) and then set the other to not exist. Also, anyone in the community could do this.

When can we expect today's update to arrive?

I'm just trying to finalise the Turkish league updates, at the moment; if no other staff member has processed it in the next 30 minutes, I'll do it.

Would it be possible to add Rodney Klooster’s old profile back into the game? He used to have a player profile, but it has been removed for about two years now. He’s currently a coach at Feyenoord. Could his old profile be re-added and updated from player to coach?

There is mirror player Marko Stankovic in OFK Beograd. Real one plays for Kikinda rn. Please delete created player thanks

Thanks for pointing this one out - sorted!

@Marck - for your (and other people's) awareness: I've also now checked and removed the less-complete entry for Ronaldo Luis Nazario. There was one that didn't have his history, so I took that as the ‘less complete’ instance.

thank you very much, appreciate your work

hi just downloaded new update - came across this guy, Louis Buffon - hes 200 ca and pa lol 

i take it someone is at it here lol

That’s as a result of a submission that should have been rejected, but has been approved. Not intended. I will sort it out and revert him back to the ‘last reasonable’ submission that was made.

appreciate that mate, i was Newcastle in Dec 2024 31st he was scouted by my scouts - thought id won a watch 😀 haha

think he would have won me the league singlehandedly lol 

I was wondering if its possible to bring back a profile of a player named Collins Atule he currently plays for Spartak Subotica. He is already created by community now but it would be nice if his real profile can be activated again since it got a real face too. I cant send you the link to his profile here because its flagged as a spam but it should be easy to find by typing his name. Thanks in advance

There are 4 mirror players of Oleksandriya player Vladyslav Shapovalov. Would be nice if that can be fixed

Unfortunately, this is not as simple as it may seem.

This website maintains a searchable database of Person records from previous versions of the game - which is why Collins Atule is discoverable at all. However, he doesn't exist in the FM 24 database and so there is no way to recreate him in the ‘original form’. The only way to have him exist in FM 24 is to create him as a new player - as you say, this is effectively done, as a result of our community's submissions system. Which is the best/only solution, unfortunately.

There is a plan to establish a facepack for newly-added players - it is, however, a lot of work and it requires some planning. The underlying planning (to ensure UIDs remain static) has been done.

This is an odd one - because this is appearing as though there are four instances (which all come up when you search for the player) in the original database. However, the original database only has one.

I will flag this with the site owner, in case this is a bug that is being presented through the website only as it may require a different/specific fix.

Thanks I appreciate it

Guys not sure why but for me Bruno (2025), Heaton and Maguire (2024) new end date don't get updated ? Can you quickly check?

Just to confirm: all of the contract extensions have been reflected as expected. However, the SortItOutSI Data Update offsets everything by two years to account for the time that has passed in real-life.

The goal of the Data Update is to provide the football ecosystem of real-world Summer 2025 at the point of in-game Summer 2023. In the same way a player who has made a transfer in Summer 2025 is at their new team, in-game, in Summer 2023, so too are promotions/relegations done to reflect the real-world scenario.

To tackle the issue of that relative offset, the Data Update also offsets player DOBs and contract lengths by two years. So a player will be the age they are in real-life in Summer 2025 in-game in Summer 2023. A player with ‘one year left’ on their contract in real-life in Summer 2025 (i.e. a contract until Summer 2026), will have ‘one year left’ on their contract in-game in Summer 2023 (i.e. contract runs until Summer 2024).

Hi does anybody know if will wright from salford city will be added im sure hes off too arsenal sorry if this is post in the wrong place 

If a player is missing from the database, they can be added by any community member. Simply head over to https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/attributes to get started and follow the guidance from there.

Hi sounds good il give it a go how much level of detail do you need to it to be approved obviously il use transfermarket and other sources 

Arsenal Tivat from Montenegro got banned by UEFA from participating in European competitions for next 10 years. Is it possible that you add that change to the game? Thanks

Name, DOB, nationality, position, preferred foot, opinion on CA/PA and club contract info is a good minimum standard. The form will auto-reject if you’re missing required info.

In reality, it doesn’t take long to fill in everything needed for one player submission so by all means - just give it a go!

Not sure where to post this, but you have removed all loans concerning Swedish clubs season 2025. 

In Sweden we play spring/autumn, which means that the players will stay in their clubs before and after the summer window 2025, can you please re-apply this?

Thank you!

Hi I just noticed that Diego Leon is added twice in Man Utd u19 squad on data update 

Yes noticed the same this morning

Thank you very much, well explained. Personnally, I prefer to play as close to as 2023 start as possible (I really liked real world mode on release) so I'm glad there is a no date version released here

Can you give some specific examples preferably with links to the persons timeline on here?

Only loans that had their date ending in the past should have been removed, I would guess the date in the players contract would have been wrong?

can only see one Diego León he is on their u21 team

I came across the duplicate a couple of days ago and took care of it. Apologies, I never spotted the reports to respond to them in here.

All the same, thanks for those that point these out!

Hello, I have a basic question. If I pay the £5 upgrade fee, will I have access to subsequent updates? Or only to the version from the day I pay?
