Hi. This is a modest attempt at updating Football Manager 2023 for the upcoming 2025/26 season, since the focus has been on FM24 and getting it ready for the same season while we all wait for FM26 (or at least some news at the very least, come on SI). There may be a few transfers I skipped over, some players I never realized moved. I tried my level best in the time I had, some players are notably absent (Rodrigo Mora, Geovany Quenda and other wonderkids especially) and you may fall victim to a Toni Kroos/Thiago suddenly destroying your team when they're supposed to be on holiday enjoying retirement, but yeah.
I love FM23, yeah, had I caught FM24 on that free, I'd probably be fine, but I thought, "why not be the solution that I spent a week endlessly searching for?" but I love the game and the community, and I hope others can download this in relief, edit it further as we still progress through the season, but think of this as the foundation for others to shape their own game. Just wanted to share that. Thank you.
Now, you will be a French manager if I'm not mistaken, a Jean-Michel Paquin, I actually intended to do a rebuild here, but the outdatedness forced me to embark on the journey of updating. Feel free to relinquish and add your manager. The leagues loaded are only the Prem and Ligue 1, so there's that to worry about, small player pool too.
DISCLAIMER: It is a save file. Apologies to those who thought it was a database due to my choice of wording.

Hi! I was wondering if the paid versions are the same or If I have to pay for both of them separately. Sorry for my english

It's a save file. Can you provide a database file so I can add to the editor data folder and play? I have the “Data Update FM23 (19-07-2024)” database; all players are updated as of 24/25, youth players are updated too. But this file basically produces crap youth intake for Chelsea if I play as Chelsea, even if all things are perfect. I haven't checked what will happen if I play as another team; it may be the same.

I mean, I am not very good in english and dont understand it properly:
Enhanced Data Update
This includes everything in the Basic Data Update plus updates to Player Attributes and Club Finances. This makes the game much more playable because promoted teams can actually compete and young players who have aged also increased their ability (Cole Palmer is no longer super underrated).
Plus the unique Dynamic Attributes feature that makes every single save you make unique.
This means Dynamic Attributes feature is included in enhanced data update?
simonkkphzin
Thanks 🙏

There is an updated version for January or august 2025?
panteliskok
Don't play

That is correct - there is only one version of the paid/enhanced Data Update. If you pay the £5 (which gives you access to it for a year), you will get the dynamic attributes files.
It is worth noting that you have posted this on a forum thread related to a community member's custom file that is not related to the SortItOutSI Data Update, which is why they responded the way they did initially. For questions about the official SortItOutSI Data Update, I can recommend posting in https://sortitoutsi.net/content/60588/data-update-home-thread.
A more comprehensive description of the Enhanced Data Update (also referred to as ‘Classic FM’) can be found here: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/67235/introducing-project-classic-fm-the-biggest-update-for-fm24-and-a-long-goal-to-keep-the-old-generation-of-fm-alive.

Thank you very much!! I also want to apologise for not addressing correctly, my bad!

Thanks soo much bro. The save file has all the transfers. So for those who don’t like the team he used in the save file you can use the in game editor to change to the team you want to play with.Note: He has played six games in the save but that shouldn’t be a problem. it’s a very good save file because I have been searching for a while now this is the close of we fm 23 players getting a save file for the new upcoming season Enjoy ✌️

Dude. The patch isn't showing up, it won't open, it won't work. Is it just me?
I put it in the Games/ folder...
I put it in the Editor Data/ folder...
I did all the dirty tricks possible 🙂
This is the patch I've been searching for for months and haven't been able to find.
I'm about to lose my mind 🙂
KaiKaiPlaysFM
Alright, hold on, explain what the problem is, and I'll get back to you after my exam

Where can I find the save after adding the file to the ‘Games’ folder? If I try to launch a new save it just starts from scratch and the save does not appear in the ‘load game’ section
