There's currently an issue with thousands of non players appearing as unemployed when they shouldn't be e.g. Omar Berrada

 

I'm working on a fix. Please don't submit these as changes.

Understood. Would you say it’s better off holding off of downloading and waiting for your fix? I assume data update won’t be live today? @Footygamer

@utpaajordet not yet there's a page here for determining if wonderkids need to be readded or not from the old FM26 update.

I think it is unlikely, now; given the time of day and the timezones that Footygamer operates on.

 

There was an attempted go-live earlier but it had to be pulled due to some technical issues. So we will need to be a little patient on the FM26 Data Update.

Thank you @M.C can I ask do you know if players CA/PA will be the same as FM26 or the same as FM24 data update? hoping for the latter my teams abilities have dropped ridiculously in new game they were spot on in last update to 2024

The exact method of abilities - whether to take FM26 as ‘the version’ or to take the FM24 Data Update as ‘the version’ or some hybrid is still being finalised.

 

Personally, I like the idea of there being a hybrid where the FM26 version is ‘one opinion’ and is factored in alongside the community-submitted values…but I think for now we need to let the site admin focus on getting it functional.

Okay, just to be clear: we can still do entry's via the form for future updates of the FM24 database? They are just not being processed at the moment?

Submissions are open and, in fact, the FM24 Data Update is now live again.

 

FM26 Data Update is not yet live but anything submitted will be integrated when it goes live.

October 29th Update

Just to set expectations and avoid disappointment editing will definitely not be opened on November 4th. November 11th is a more realistic target date.

 

This is both personal and technical.

 

(1) I'm in Australia for a wedding this weekend and then will be jet lagged.

 

(2) It's taking longer than expected to get all the data out and site updated this year with the introduction of women's.

 

(3) They keep updating the game and it's not clear what will be updated after November 4th.

 

Original Post

Just to let everyone know that submissions have been paused due to the release of FM26.

 

You can still download of course and it should be up to date since there's not alot of transfer activity around the world.

 

Submissions will of course be returning.

 

The reason for pausing is because
 

  1. We can't start updating FM26 yet because it takes time to extract the data and the data is liable to change before full release on November 4th
  2. If we keep submissions open people get confused and make submissions to our FM24 update trying to fix errors in FM26, this creates alot of extra work for moderators.
  3. It's nice for everyone involved to have a break and just enjoy the new game.

I realise this might frustrate some people who are not yet playing FM26 and want to keep updating FM24. This will be possible. Please just have some patience it's just 2 weeks and pausing is going to make things so much easier to update the site.

 

And of course a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the people who have contributed, over the years 6,620 people have contributed so far and we hit our 1 millionth submission a few months ago, which is insane!

 

Thanks for everyone who is contributing over the years. When will the first fm26 in real world mode update come ? I am waiting for it before I start playing. Thanks all of you guys and gals.

Hi - sorry maybe a silly question. I have decided for now to continue with FM24 as I cant get my head around 26. The update is brilliant but is there no download that brings the date forward by two years? I notice the the update it keeps the date starting in 2023 but has changed players DOB back by 2 years so the ages are correct but is there no way of the start date being 2025 and DOBS being correct? I have noticed online that the ‘patreon’? update is supposed to do this? but I have always sworn by sortitoutsi for the last 15 years so would rather update everything through here

Thanks in advance.

Hi - These updates are great and something ive used for years so well done to all who make these happen - I have noticed with the latest update Nov 10th the non playing staff seems to of gone abit random - many managers have moved to non management roles and original staff from the previous update have changed roles such as GK Coach now Chief Scout - is there anyway of downloading the previous file before this latest one? (no longer on my system 😢 ) Thanks

No.

 

Are you reporting a bug that you're not able to access it? If so can you please give much more detail so it can be investigated.

It is not possible to bring it forward 2 years accurately. It's impossible to sync cup competitions so you will get the wrong teams promoted and relegated via playoffs, as well as wrong winners for cup e.g. Crystal Palace may not be in the community shield.

 

If someone is asking you to pay promising that it will go forward 2 years and be accurate they are lying to you unfortunately.

Downloaded the FM26 update and I can't see any of the new youth players, i.e. Max Dowman who've been created and submitted, is this correct or is this only available on the paid version of the data update? @Footygamer

Hi, I was just wondering how you get to see Max Dowman in your game? I've followed the instructions to the letter but he doesn't appear in my game. Do I need to do something else, other than add data files to editor files and start a new game with Sortitoutsi's  data mods selected.
