@BassyBoyYT The amount and quality of work is unreal mate. Sorry to go on about Celtic Park again, but is the rail seating section there? The latest video is unreal but it is hard to tell if that section is rail seating/standing from the video. I know it might come in a later version. Can't wait for the pack. The adboards are still back to front along the big stand. Thanks. 

This is amazing mate, but just a quick observation in that New Balance were the kit maker about five years ago, and I can see their static board. It is adidas that make the Celtic kits, think I shared an adidas board amongst others on the discord. Also, not sure if the case or not, but is that still static boards on the far away touch line instead of the dynamic in front? ‘Intelligent Car leasing’ were an advertisers board you would see at Celtic all the time, but they went bust and can see their board too. ‘Magners' is an easy one to swap in as they are a long term sponsor.  The Tunnel also has very prominent and definite branding this season, with a specific VAR section.

There are also no dynamic boards running along the main stand (small one with tunnel and dugout). It is exclusively static on that side, so in the above image, the ones just to the left with the four stewards standing are not there, it is jus static the whole way along that touchline, with dynamic behind the goals and on the far side. 

NB - Dugouts with dip still shown in the above image, revised below, but the branding of the tunnel with the badge on top and words on side can be seen. 

And the dugouts are different to any older models that might be a base from PES, and were raised above ground level, whereby before their was a dip and different seating.  Sharing in the spirit intended, as I know you are really keen to replicate reality. The lighting and general quality is unreal. Thanks.

@M.C hope all well. I have had a hiatus from sortitoutsi over the past six months or so but hoping to get back into moderating and the data update in the close season again. Is there any chance at all you could create a Scottish file with the lower league levels for FM24? There are big changes coming this summer below League 2, with the Lowland League splitting into Lowland League East and Lowland League West. It means some of the very large well established lower league clubs like Auchinleck, Cumnock and Pollok are now one step away from League 2. However, the teams going into each league, as well as new teams joining lower levels as a knock on aren't none yet. I can provide all of that when known, just wondering if any appetite to make a file for Scotland that covers lower leagues?

Does it seem likely all leagues will again be updated for FM24 given the very mixed feeling on FM26 that still exists? Thanks as always for all of the work you do on the league files with everyone else involved. 

The Scottish stadiums are amazing, thanks Bassy. Are there plans to revisit Celtic Park and Ibrox given the detail in the newer ones compared to those two? Totally appreciate the list is massive though, thanks again. 

Superb update, thanks for all the work, but can confirm as per others, home fans in red, away in light blue in all games. Thanks.

Active is the version in the update, approved means the suggestion was approved but was since overwritten by what is now the active version. For detail, as much as possible across all areas is best and gives a greater chance of approval. 

Thanks, totally understand, when I referenced an update, it was more the St Mirren 3rd, Dundee Utd 3rd and Dundee 3rd than any fourth kit(s). Appreciate it all takes time and thanks for the work on it all. 

Hi @einherjer83 , the packs are amazing. Was just wondering if an update to the Scottish Premiership as well as the packs for the Championship, League 1 and League 2 are in the pipeline?

Many thanks for all of the work.

Hi, the transfers are contained within this file - ‘sortitoutsi.net FM26 Data Update - Contracts.fmf 

Can you see that file?

Thanks, I think someone may have picked up Nicholas Jonathan as I can only find his profile linked to Abia? If you can find the other profile on here, please send the direct URL. 

For Zavjalov, he is an SI games hard coded player twice by the looks of things (as far as I can tell), and is not linked to this update, so we can't remove one, but worth flagging with SI to check if it is a mistake via their official forums. 

Thanks, for some reason, I can't see him anywhere on the Lleida page if searching the latest update, and his correct ID is pointing to the created player rather than the DB player if searching for him directly with his UID. I know that link includes the .test, not sure if that matters?

Down at 375 checks to go, should get them done by the close of day today. 

Thanks @Footygamer , he is in FM26 already with UID 2000398857, but on a free transfer. I can't seem to get his profile to return anything via our update as it gives an error page but that might be because of the link being removed? It was the correct link, just that SI had him as a free transfer and missed his actual move to Lleida. 

I was going to transfer him to Lleida then delete the submitted profile, but with the error message below showing, I can't get in to edit his actual FM26 profile. 

Error

• Url: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/2000398857

We are so sorry but it seems our website encountered an error. Please visit the feedback and support forum to report what happened and we'll look to get it fixed straightaway.

@sergi_ads for now, he is in the update for FM26. If we can get to his actual FM26 profile, we will transfer him over and then delete the created version to avoid duplicates.

Down to 497 players from the FM24 update needing checked against the FM26 database, so nearly there with these issues.

Backwards integration into FM24 of players in FM26 is being looked at in the background, and if possible, will happen. But at the moment, you can't create a player that is already in FM26 for the FM24 update. Once we can provide more information on if/when we can include FM26 players in our FM24 update we will. 

For Luis Silva of Lleida, I can't find him - can you share a link to his FM24 update profile? Was he at Lleida when added to the FM24 update?

Thanks, we are aware of Satpaev and a fix will come. For the others, I can see they were added to the FM24 update, but in the background, there is a process whereby we need (on an individual player basis) to check they are not in FM26, or if they are, align their FM26 UID to the FM24 update profile. For context, the list started at around 3500 I think, and is now down at around 750. For those listed above, I will take a look now and try to update so that they feed into the latest update file if not in FM26. For the other 700 or so, we are getting closer to having checked all submitted players from our FM24 update for inclusion in the FM26 update. 

Apart from any errors we encounter that require a specific fix, I am hopeful we will have worked through the above process for the remaining 750 players over the weekend. At the moment, the likes of England, France, Spain, Scotland, Greece, Holland etc are complete (bar errors), getting through about 100 a night just now, as were colleagues looking at it in previous weeks. 

EDIT - Other than Stapaev, those listed should now feed into the FM26 update at some stage today or tomorrow. There are another 767 FM24 Update ‘New Players’ to go through the checks, but gradually, they will appear if not in FM26 and submitted for FM24. 

Can you help us understand what the issue is with the Japanese/English issue so we can look into it? For the player at Llandudno, what is his name?

For repeating players, we are working through those. When trying to keep updates available for FM24 and FM26, anyone created via an update (unofficial like ours) for FM24, that is then officially part of FM26 has to have their new UID linked to their old profile, otherwise the new instance from FM26 and the created version from our FM24 update results in two profiles. It takes a while, but we are getting there. 

This isn't the official developer website and we don't make the game, this is a fan led site to add to/modify the official game. If you want to let SI games know, then there is a huge thread on their official forum where you can post feedback on FM26 that they will receive. If you post here, there is no guarantee that SI will see it - The thread for SI games on their site is - https://community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/594137-official-football-manager-26-feedback-thread/ 

It shouldn't be hours, unless your PC/Laptop is very old or limited in terms of CPU/RAM availability. I use the history file, and load around 60 leagues all in, and it can take about 15 minutes to get from the First Screen in FM to ‘Start Game’ (or whichever is the name of the final button when creating a new game), while it processes things at each stage, and then another 15 minutes to load the actual new game. 

Do you mean for FM24? Load time is increased simply due to the volume of database changes the game has to action when loading. Everything will work fine provided you don't have any other conflicting editor files, but load time is increased, and often appears to have frozen, but if you leave it, it should work. 

Yes, but the process depends upon volunteer staff availability against work and family commitments, and sometimes the way it works, staff able to look at the data update as their main contribution are all committed to other work, family or personal matters simultaneously. It isn't a conscious decision not to approve, just circumstantial.  For my part, I can start to take a look at submissions later in the week and should get a good run at it then, and I am sure the other staff that do the same (if not more than me) in terms of the data update will be back on it too as soon as they can be. 

Yes, the most recent daily update and all live updates should now include all players impacted by the above. Thanks

It seems that whatever is going on, if you edit the current live instance and the date stamp changes to today, it is picked up by the next live update. 

@M.C and @Footygamer , I think there is a potential issue here in that it appears a number of ‘active’ and newly created players from around the last week in September up to a date I can't determine are now not in fact pulling through to the update. As well as the player flagged above, I tested a couple from Scotland who both appear to be active but didn't load with all Scottish based players set to load. I will take another look, and tried to edit one there in case it helps. Examples from Scotland were both created around or after the date of the player flagged above.

Alfie Archibald at Gretna and Cole Coughlin at Kilmarnock are two examples (albeit I am using Coughlin to test if editing is picked up in the next live update). 

I am constantly loading Scottish lower level files with the update and until today, everything has been totally fine. 

Edit - Of the players I have added, I can find one active and live in game from the 14th September. Anyone else I have added since was appearing fine, up until today (could have been earlier, as I only re-downloaded today), whereby anyone created after 14th September and up to 8th October is not showing in the latest live update. 

I can confirm in the latest update, he is live. If you use the ‘Enhanced Update’ then downloading now should show him at Dortmund. If the daily update, then tomorrow's version will have him there. Either way, you need to delete older update files downloaded from our site, and overwrite them with the new ones. 

It looks like you have a few repeating files i.e. older versions and newer versions, but I am not an expert on the various implications. M.C. will be better placed to advise. 

At a quick glance, the latest update file you have is from 23rd September though, meaning any updates since then won't apply to new games unless you download again and replace the older version.

I have added him again. There are different issues at play. The search bar is returning players from a previous version of the update, and will likely be sorted out in due course. 

There was no Justin Lerma profile active. There were two previous versions, one from November 2024, the other from last week. Both had been rejected at some point, but were likely active prior to that. 

He is now back in, and does not need added again. 

However, for future transfers, they need to be reverse engineered via the update, in that they need to be assigned to their ‘new’ club and loaned back to the club they currently play for until their actual transfer date. There is no mechanism for future transfers just now, so that work around ensures realistic availability until the actual transfer date (i.e. still able to play for current club, but owned by the new club until the IRL date of transfer, where they will leave their current club and be available for their new club). 

He is 100% back in the latest update, and I am in the process of waiting for the 20 minute cycle to let me run a test to verify. 

He is at Dortmund, and loaned back to Independiente del Valle. 

As for the various editor files, I recognise most but not all, but can't say I have enough knowledge to confirm if he could have been added to any other files that then create conflict. None of Nic33s files would cause the issue, not sure about the others, but @M.C is better placed than me when it comes to editor files and impact. 

I will upload a screenshot of his active profile at Dortmund (loaned to Independiente) tonight, which should verify that via our update, he is active and in game. 

I can't find an active profile for him within our update, he is not listed at either Independiente or Dortmund. I will quickly check the pending New Player list in case he has not been approved. I am out for an hour or so, but can then re-add him and test via a save. Will be back in touch later tonight. 

I have had the same issue in lower levels within Scotland. If unactive, it means SI did not include them at all in the FM24 database (or did at first but removed them before the January 2024 update). From what I understand, you need to create them again. Thanks

Removed, thanks for flagging

@elsa micano , I can confirm if you load a game with the latest update the Aston Villa version of Freddie Lawrie is not there, even though he still appears on the site if searched. @M.C , yes, this is part of the wider issue with links just now. Once the duplicate checker is fixed it should be fairly easy to sort it all out. 

Everything MC has said is correct, however, this particular duplicate was picked up a few days ago, and the Aston Villa one was deleted. It still shows in a search here due to a gap between what is held in the update and what is ‘searchable' , but he should not be in the most recent version of the data update, only older ones. 

I am loading a save soon this evening and can double check, but when you click on the Aston Villa version returned by a search on this site, you will see the profile has been deleted.
