I want to love this database. But the valuation of players is a bit insane no? Toplayers are between 200 and 400 miljoen..

Any idea which face pack works with this database, I haven't found one that has either all the pictures and/or matches the player id

Dark86 - Yes there is and its available on Patreon.
ali_s10 Jan 19, 2024 @ 12:59am 
Guys Thierry Henry appears on the game though via fmf file. I hope facepack will be updated as many are missing.
ali_s10 Jan 18, 2024 @ 3:42pm 
Many faces are missing. do you have an update for that please
Dark86 Jan 13, 2024 @ 8:11pm 
Is there a regens file for this? And if yes if we create a game on FM23 with regen file and the open the save with FM24 will the regens still generate like they would in FM23?

Hello, use your database to get achievements like 10 years in one club, etc. With FM2023 database in FM2024 achievements not appears.

Let's go Rangers!)

the editor file is no good for fm 24 you can add in workshop ?? same fm 22 and fm 23 please my fried:steamthumbsup:
miguel Nov 20, 2023 @ 5:49am 
To make it more effective I would correct the players' CA PA. In CM 03 04 it was excessively high. You see many players with attributes 20, although in reality they were not that good. Will you improve this? thank you

I bought 24 - the import save game feature works perfectly for what I use it for, so I really have no reason to do all the database changes on the 24 database. SI delete like 1000 of the real ID players every year, so I have to find out who they are and remake them again, as well as fiddle with the club reps and stuff like the number of teams in the U19 South Gotaland Division - it isn't fun.

I have been making changes on this, but it's mostly been adding smaller leagues and lower league players
j.w.barrouz Oct 17, 2023 @ 1:40pm 
you add same database for fm 24 ??

Metalllik Jul 29, 2023 @ 10:58am 
have someone noticed that some players are missing? I am in the 5th season and i noticed that Thomas Muller is not in the game. so, if i am in 2007 he should be 18 years old and playing at least for the 2nd team of Bayern Munich.
noamilan4321 Jul 28, 2023 @ 7:19am

Josh R Jul 15, 2023 @ 10:44am

Cacau19 Jun 30, 2023 @ 6:01pm 
Good job! I was actually expecting the other way around - FM23 database for CM0304. Is someone doing it ?
AdamOlGaming Jun 29, 2023 @ 8:36am 
It wont start a new game with this 1
peezy Jun 25, 2023 @ 6:38pm 
Hi, thanks for this - I tried messaging you about possibly making this mod available to other sites (I have the game pass version) so people that dont have the steam version can download it. Great job btw
MrTini23 Jun 22, 2023 @ 4:15pm 
I have just released a Retro Regens mod on my Patreon which has over 15,000 players. There is a free and a full version. The free version has players up to 160 PA.

{LINK REMOVED}

Please note that this only works with the FMF version of the DB
theFMretroGamer Jun 22, 2023 @ 10:35am 
@shmevon Do you have a fmf file where there is not two Alan Curbishley's and Sven Goran Eriksson is England manager mate? Also, didn't know if you knew how to remove all the unedited players and staff... hope to hear from you soon :)
MadZer0 Jun 1, 2023 @ 4:08am 
why some pics dosnt appear? i dont know what to do...i just take off for a different place my usual facepack paste...someone can help me plz?
shmevon  [author] May 28, 2023 @ 6:15am 
@Metalllik I made it 2 years ago and I just pushed the dates forward now. I haven't play-tested it but I don't think they changed future regen syntax. Unfortunately, these things aren't save-compatible and you would have to start a new save.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wJmj8eTDikK7Vf4qq96QTv7CSh2Nwvfe

The support_staff.edt goes into Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2300\edt\permanent .

To anyone who downloads this, REMEMBER TO DELETE THE SUPPORT_STAFF BEFORE YOU START A NEW SAVE -WITHOUT- THIS DATABASE! Unless you want time-traveling Bojan Krkic in all of your games

@Ivar Can't change the dates. Historical play is unsupported by FM. Out of the Park Baseball (actually developed by Germans) has a pretty robust system, but with FM I would assume it's a legal issue, they only get the licenses for one year at a time.

It's a shame because with their resources they could probably make a much better version of this in a few days
Metalllik May 26, 2023 @ 6:37am 
Did you try to make a regen file with the real young players that follow in the next years?
Einar II May 26, 2023 @ 4:21am 
Kann man auch das Datum anpassen?
shmevon  [author] May 18, 2023 @ 1:20pm 
@Dora The Exploder I think I uploaded my last day one save without remembering to get rid of all of the SI licensing files after the patch, so it's possible that it didn't work on that one. I know Napoli was in as "Parthenope."

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1efEsl1bmR6pBiDiqNuhXSd6RMnDgW2GT/

I have a new save up, I added a ton of French lower league players since the country was basically depopulated underneath the third division, teams would get promoted with zero players and get something like 4 points in an entire season. Also I had two of the wrong teams up in the Israeli league, that was sorted out. The French third division itself doesn't load in the first year, but it should be fine after that - it didn't load in the first year before this update either, not sure why, probably the wrong number of teams.
Turok May 14, 2023 @ 7:08am 
Does the German National team works with this database?
hawk May 13, 2023 @ 3:45am 
it takes an hour or two to load up, just get the day one save
dmooney101 May 9, 2023 @ 1:17pm 
trying to start a save now currently stuck on setting up game database is that a bug or does it just take some time
󠀡󠀡 May 5, 2023 @ 11:09pm 
it gets stuck loading "setting up game database" plz help :)
Dadaruh Apr 20, 2023 @ 5:33pm 
why this is not working bro come on ?!! I realy want to play this game in a old school era pls help me
shmevon  [author] Apr 12, 2023 @ 12:05pm 
@bankcottage001 You probably started a new save file with the 23.4 January transfer update from SI. Every database update, SI delete people from the database. The file is only made to work with the original FM23 database (23.0 or 23.1); with the transfer update, it will be super glitchy like that.

@marc_biagioni FMF is here.

Hi is there any chance you could post the FMF file?
bankcottage001 Apr 12, 2023 @ 6:14am 
Why is Henry not in the game
shmevon  [author] Apr 11, 2023 @ 5:29pm 
@alwaysastag Yeah bro, this should be it

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sNrmhSUfl3iJ-rJn4XsjHHuef7HlaPFE/

Just finished the prestigious Swedish third division (ettan norra/ettan sodra). Not sure what else I've done since the start of FM23...chile, slovakia, german 3. liga and a bunch of touching up I think
j.w.barrouz Apr 11, 2023 @ 5:03am 
@skmevon you have add new league ? i show 900 new players in database ....
AlwaysAStag Apr 9, 2023 @ 12:26am 
@shmevon, do you have a link to a day one saved file that includes all your latest updates to the database with no masking of players attributes please?
shmevon  [author] Mar 19, 2023 @ 7:08pm 
Don't use the SI winter update with this or any other retro database, it adds/deletes players and it probably promotes/relegates clubs in the leagues with winter start dates (Scandinavia, Chile) so it will be super janky and broken
