Data Update Poll!
Hello, there is currently an important debate going on regarding how to manage the FM24 Data Update going forward, particularly in the case of modifying the ages and contract dates by 1 year. Please can you vote in the poll and join in the discussion.

I'm making good progress on an update to Scotland, allowing the Highland and Lowland leagues to become playable. In case you might not know, this year sees Scotland starting a pyramid system similar to England, opening the trapdoor out of League 2 down to the non-league levels.
Before I go ahead and add some real detail to the file, I need to ask some people to test this out. Run it in the background, or as your main career - up to you. Just need to make sure it continues to function over a 5-10 year spell with different outcomes.
Download the file here! Add it to Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/editor data.
Also, I've created logos for all the Highland and Lowland league clubs which should work in the game. Download these here, and extract them to Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/graphics.
Basically, once I'm happy that this is working as well as possible, I'll add the final details and upload it properly on this website.
Changes Made
- activated Highland and Lowland leagues
- real competition names added
- date range for fixtures accurately mirrored to real life
- promotion playoff between champions of each league (2 legs) inserted on correct dates
- winner of playoff faces bottom team in League 2, as IRL
- cup competitions added (as close to real life as possible inc dates, some "creative changes" required due to editor restrictions)
- relegation from Lowland league to South of Scotland/East of Scotland leagues included
- both Highland and Lowland leagues set to remain regional (as far as possible) with teams moving up and down
- real manager and chairman names added to clubs where possible
Not Changed Yet
- awards to be included
- accurate prize monies to be added
- potential addition of further divisions and levels below
- club specifics (facilities, reputation etc) to be improved
Let me know if you're giving it a go by replying, and thanks in advance for your feedback!
