That is my take on it - although I don’t know how ‘unpredictable’ the start would be, as the game will simulate those seasons you skip through with the future start date.

 

My personal preference - which I guess is shared by those that use this site’s Data Update - is simply to accept the offset 2023 start date, look past it and play the game with everything else reflecting real-life as it is now.

Alright, final question. If I use the summer 23 to summer 25 data update (adding two years to all players) and a start date of 24, will the players be 3 years older?

I believe the FM RTE website has some files that enable start dates significantly into the future. A link to the file(s) that can allow you to start in the future: https://www.fmrte.com/files/file/157-custom-start-date-for-fm24-start-in-june-to-april-up-to-10-years-aheadread-the-link-in-the-description-for-full-details/

 

Whilst they are compatible with transfer updates (i.e. whatever status squads/staff are in at game start will be respected), the game will simulate the ‘future seasons’ as part of its initial creation - as such, it is impossible to specify the real-world 2025/26 pyramid structure and have a start date of summer 2025 that guarantees teams to be in the divisions they should be (assuming your goal is to have teams in the right divisions, as in real-life for the upcoming season). So there is a trade-off to make - it just comes down to which trade-off you're willing to make, I suppose.

 

The SortItOutSI Data Update tackles the challenge by, effectively, cycling the game world forward the two years (from summer 2023 to summer 2025) in terms of transfers, contracts, (most, soon to be all) promotions/relegations, transfer bans and player ages. So whilst the in-game date will show July 2023, the game world will reflect July 2025.

 

So I have to choose between a proper start date but a very unpredictable start in terms of everything else and a way more accurate start despite the time difference?

Hey everyone,

Are there any editor files available with a start date of June 25 or July 25?

I tried editing some of them but all I was able to accomplish was to change it back to 23.

Hey there,

Would you please upload a file with the start date set for the summer of 25?

I attempted to edit one of your files myself, but all I managed to do was set the start date to 23.
