FOOTBALL MANAGER 2024 MAIN DATA UPDATE OUT NOW!

[Mihai]

Football Manager 2024’s Main Data Update* is now live across all platforms.

This initial refresh features more than six million data changes and includes updated squads following the most recent transfer window. It also contains changes to the Current Ability ratings and Attributes to tens of thousands of players based on their real-world performances since FM24’s launch.

Rosters for certain licensed leagues whose seasons run to the calendar year will only be reflective up until the end of the 2023 season and will not include incoming and outgoing transfers made for 2024.

The Main Data Update also contains fixes and improvements across multiple areas of the game. All gameplay adjustments will take effect in current careers, although you will need to begin a new save game to take advantage of the data changes. 

Changes to the PC/Mac in the 24.3 update include (but are not limited to):

• General stability and crash fixes
• Data and competition updates
• Fixed exploit where AI clubs accepted human manager’s transfer offers that were substantially lower than the player’s market value
• Fixed issue where negative budgets were given to clubs even when they are performing well financially
• Tweaks to how players are scouted that will ensure more Recommendations and Near Matches are generated in Recruitment Focuses
• Fixed issue to adjust rain and snow particles in matches
• Fixed issue where Spanish clubs were registering low squad sizes
• Fixed an issue where Turkish clubs weren't registering full squad on registration deadline day
• [Pre-Game Editor] Fixed issue where player transfers would not take effect in Real World mode
• [Pre-Game Editor] Fixed issue where female non-players can't be added to database

A more detailed FM24 (PC/Mac) changelist is available on our community forums. 

Further changelists for FM24 Console (Xbox/PS5), FM24 Touch (Apple Arcade/Nintendo Switch™) and FM24 Mobile (Netflix) are also available. 

FM24 Mobile has had a further upgrade in the Main Data Update thanks to the addition of three new gameplay challenges. ‘Unrest at Home’, ‘You Can’t Win Anything with Kids’ and ‘The Dangers of Capitalism’ are unique scenarios set up for you to dive right in and put your managerial skills to the test. There’s also now more reward for your success in FM24 Mobile, with Netflix adding in-game achievements.

*A further data update will follow in the coming weeks, covering transfers and player data changes from later closing transfer windows, including MLS.
