Thank you for all your hard work and the continued updating of FM24. As I've previously stated, my computer hasn't the memory space etc to run FM26 and I'm grateful to all of you for allowing me to keep my game up to date.Many thanks and best regards, Keith.

Hi, 

As my computer isn't new/good enough to play FM 2026, I was wondering if there would be an update of FM2024 (when this current season, including play-offs is over), that will include the promotions/relegations in at least the UK?

Hi,

I tried to add Daniel Isichei, to Bimingham City. 

As I had little info, I used the BCFC website retained and released list as proof.

I browsed the updates just now, and it says the update for this player is pending moderation, yet when I click on my new player submissions it states that it's invalid.

Can someone tell me who invalidated it and why?

I concur.

 

FM24's biggest issues are carryovers from FM23, 22, 21, 20, 19…

A good skin and now the new match engine mods available, it feels like a massively new game

You mentioned match engine mods, are they downloadable from this site?

try buying FM 24 its rather good

I've got every FM game from 2010, some are better than others IMHO and FM22 & 23 were better than most. In fact I believe both are better than FM 24.

Now that FM25 hs been cancelled, is there any chance of new updates to FM22 and FM23 via sortitoutsi, and not the game editor?

Have you checked the Birmingham page on the site? Unless you're more specific about what players aren't updated I can't help you. When asking for help try to be considerate of who you're asking and make it as easy as possible for them e.g. giving exact player names rather than expecting others to go and look up what players have left themselves.

Sorry for not providing full details

 

I have cleared previous update downloads from my editor in the game, and downloaded the latest update. Started the game, and the following players had the wrong contract end dates in game, despite the updates being correct on the Birmingham City page on this site; J.Ruddy, K.Long, M.Oakley, M.Dance, N.Gordon, O.Basey, P.Williams, T.Campbell.

On the Birmingham page on site, all of the above have a contract end date of 2024, in the game it's 2023.

#741601 Custom Start dates

As we can get the last promotions and relegations by downloading the latest update, would it be possible to get a custom start date included, so we can start a new season, with the new player/promotion/relegation updates and start the season from August 2023? I have seen this discussed from about 5 years ago and previous answers were to get the game editor (which I have no clues how to use by the way), but I seem to remember that FM 2018 had a custom start date download from this site.So can we have a download please?

I downloaded the latest update again, and the only thing wrong, is the contract end dates. Can someone look into this, because every other update had the correct contract end dates and options for the clubs to extend said contracts, perfect. Ta very much!

I have downloaded the latest updates, started a new game and none of the players who've gone from Birmingham City, have gone. All players from the start of the season, including the loanees are all still there. Checked with other teams, and its still the same. Only change is the promotions and relegations, these have worked.

Has anyone else noticed, that since steam downloaded the update to v 23.3 , that a lot of players contract end dates are wrong, in comparison with the last data update on this site?

I decided to start anew, as Birmingham City, and found several players contract end dates had changed, back to June 2023. 

The last data update on here, prior to v 23.3 had contract end dates beyond 2023.

@Keith Batcheltor Thanks but please add the contract start date to all submissions as well

 

Will do, in future submissions.

I follow Albion Rovers F.C and noticed that Joe Bevan joined the club, on 3rd January from Camelon Juniors, yet he isn't found on this site. 

Without the in game editor, is there any way to add players to the Sortitoutsi data base?

My computer had some problems, and deleted all of my FM 2021 downloads, amongst other things. I seem to recall there being a download for the game, where the UK didn't Brexit and so the foreign player rules wouldn't change. Is there a link please???

Having the same problems, files are all xml and not fmf, and give exactly the same problems as shown by vvvv. Also, I've noticed that if you start a new career using the latest download, some teams in the same division are expected to finish in the same place; for example both Brentford and Man Utd are both expected to finish third.

Will the data update reflect that Macclesfield Town have now been relegated to the Vanarama National League, and Stevenage F.C are to remain in League Two? Also it seems that Bury F.C have had their application to join the Vanarama North League rejected, and as such the football authorities have moved Brackley Town from Vanarama South to North division.

He's set as a first team coach at crewe, unfortunately because he doesn't have a staff profile we cant change his role to academy coach.

He's not even a staff member, or anything else with Crewe,when you download the latest updates.

Although Ross Woodcock is registered as a Non Player, he is now an academy coach at Crewe with a contract until 2021. Proof on linkedin and the following; https://crewe.vitalfootball.co.uk/whats-in-a-squad-number-number-23. Latest data update does not show him as a player or staff member at Crewe. Please fix.
