FM21 Increase realism megapack by Daveincid (Update 03.03.21)

[Daveincid 601]

This megapack improves several values for all Nations in-game to increase realism in FM 2021 to a whole new level.
It was fulltime-project over several months and I am happy to finally release all together in a megapack. All files are made with my own created db to ensure consistency in the changes.

This realism megapack contains following files:

• Daveincid's Alternative Youth Rating + Game Importance and others v1.2
• Daveincid's improved market values + Salaries + Sponsors 2.0 New
• Daveincid's current currency exchange-values v1.0
• Daveincid's League reputation change v2.0 New
• Daveincid's finances v2.0
• Daveincid's financial behaviour improvement v1.0 New
• Daveincid's Transfer Preferences file v2.0 New
• Daveincid's club transfer preferences v1.1
• Daveincid's RBS change v1.0 New
• Daveincid's other improvements v2.0 New

 

Due all files are direct or indirect connected together, I highly recommend using all files at the same time.

All files are tested over 5-years in-game at minimum to ensure there aren't game-breaking bugs. It is compatible with all league-files, transfer-updates, all graphical mods etc. It's not compatible with other realism mods that changes values in the areas I edited.

Please note:

For more realism I recommend to disable the first transfer window. IRL the transfers already happend, so should it be in the game-setup too for a optimal balance.

What does each file do?

 

Daveincid's Alternative Youth Rating + Game Importance and others v1.2

- Newly set National Youth Ratings
- Game Importance adjustments
- State of development adjusted according to DAC-List

The ratings are based on a huge database of personal research about all Nations, which includes but not limited to:

- HDI (Human Development Index)
- Population of a Country
- How popular football is in the country
- Worldwide success national team
- Continental success national team
- Success U-national team
- Which Confederation they are in (ex. UEFA, CONCACAF)
- Value National Team
- Record attendance National Team
- Average league attendance from top league (as far as I could find them)

The combination of these changes will lead to:

- Less newgens with world-class talent as per default
- More worldwide diversification of talent
- Easier to improve smaller nations where football is popular in long-term saves
- Fight about the biggest talents, so the AI tries to keep their talents at the club, because there are less of them

 

Daveincid's improved market values + Salaries + Sponsors v2.0 New

This file brings a lot of dynamic in a more static FM-World by default:

- Adjusted market-values worldwide to replicate transfer fees better

There are Nations which are generally sell their players too cheap (for example Brazil) or too high, I have done several adjustments to replicate the current situation as well as implement a reasonable increase of values if a Club or the whole league gained a higher reputation.

- Increased potential salaries for top-players

Default salaries are too low in Top-5 Leagues in the future. Less money on salary spent has a inflating effect for bank balance overall. This money increases transfer fees in smaller leagues and causes problems there because these Clubs will get much higher transfer-fees as they usually get.

- Decreased salaries for some Nations

Some Nations are paying much more money in the future as they do at the start of the save, without understandable reasons (No new Sugar-Daddy or overall success). This was again a complicated balancing-act to find the "sweet-spot". It's based on actual data as far as I could find them.

- Improved Sponsors

This file will give you a more natural progress of Sponsorship-behaviour in line with your success. Most Nations only see a marginal increase sponsorship, even with a strong increase of success. This file changes this behaviour for all Nations according to my calculated economic potential of the Nation. So poor Nations won't have a huge increase, even if you win the Champions League. Most Sponsors are local, or national connected, so the financial power is mostly down to the economics of a Nation. (Sugar-Daddy's excluded).

Please keep in mind:
The shown market values are not directly linked to what is getting paid for a player or how good he is. This is also the case in default, but more tweaked in my file. Wonderkids without first-team-match-experience have usually a really low market-value, due they haven't shown their talent under senior football conditions yet, like IRL. The value also decreases when the player is running out of contract.
Once they played a couple of games and achieved success in U-National-Teams their value can rise extremely. Low market values doesn't mean that you will get the players for this price or even close. Their shown value also changes as soon as there is a transfer-fee paid for them.

 

 

Daveincid's current currency exchange rate v1.0
I have made adjustments to current values for 123 currencies. The biggest impact you will notice is in Venezuela.

This file will replicate the financial situation of all Nations more accurate to their current situation IRL.

 

Daveincid's League reputation change v2.0 New
This file lowers the gap slightly between the Top-Nations and all the others in Europe. It also boosts Top-Nations outside of Europe slightly and should increase the competition globally.

 

Daveincid's finances mod v2.0
This file is setting bank balance and transfer-budget of all clubs to zero. Further explanations how this influences your save and what the reasons for this drastical change is, see the next topic below.

Daveincid's financial behaviour improvement v1.0 New

Some specific Nations still had big issues with money-inflation in transfer-fees and salaries, so I have done some research what the reasons are, which Nations are affected the most IRL and which are affected the most ingame.

 

This is my conclusion:

The problem I see in Football Manager is, that it's always clear that all money from a transfer goes to the Club, the Player and his Agent. By default, when a Club is getting 90m for a player, the Club will get 90m. I think it's fair to say that this is sometimes not in line with the situation in reality. In some Nations the problem is bigger as in others. The point is, that some Nations are well represented financially, so they are stable by default. Due legal issues I won't say what the main problem is, but i am sure you guy's know what I mean

 

So how do I stopped the constantly gain of money?

As already Benjamin Franklin said: «nothing is certain, except death and taxes «

With this file all Nations are getting taxed by a certain percentage on their transfer-income immediately.

 

How should you interpret this tax in the game?

If a player from Club A moves to Club B for 50m, and Nation A has a transfer-tax-rate of 30%, they will immediately pay 15m of taxes as soon the player moved to Club B. So the transfer-fee is 50m, but the selling Club only gets 35. This way I was able to avoid that Nations who buy cheap and sell high will be represented badly in the future, because theese teams are going to pay extremely high transfer-fees and salaries which they would never do in reality, not even close.

 

For a better imagination for what the taxes stands for:

- genereal bad financial behaviour by default

- overall transfer-costs

- unknown receivers of money (please don't feel offended, I am just objective)

- other advantages in transfer negotiations (Houses, cars, Jobs for family-members etc.)

I know it's kind of a controversial interpretation, but this way I was able to balance so many things in FM much better, and it will be as effective in short as in long-term-games.

 

Please keep in mind

There will be still some weird transfers whithout any influence on my side. This is mostly down to a new takeover of a Club. Sometimes the new Owner pays so much money for a player as a promise for his election-campaign.

 

Daveincid's Transfer Preferences file v2.0 New

This file gives you a more accurate behaviour of transfers. Most Nations are linked together in some way.
An example for Africa:
The best players from Malawi are getting poached by Zambia, due it's a better league and geographically close. If they are overperforming in Zambia they might get transfered directly to Europe. But often they need to take a further step, so they get poached by DR Congo. This league is again stronger and more in the focus of Europe and the biggest Nations of Africa. So they might move to Tunisia, Egypt, South Africa, Morocco or Algeria. This system is done for all Nations. v2.0 contains a lot of improvements.

Daveincid's Club transfer preferences v1.1

I researched Clubs which have a strong affinity for a specific nationality of players in the past and present. This is now a criteria in Visions of the Club. So theese Clubs should buy more players from theese Nations. It will be in most cases a criteria of your board to follow theese transfer preferences. It's part of the clubs philosophy.

Hi Vladis. Thank you!

It generally depends on your success as a manager and the success of the other teams Ireland doesn't have the same potencial as Scotland, but they definitly have room for improvement in terms of growth as a whole Nation.

[Daveincid 601]

It increases or decreases Sponsorship-deals for Clubs which hare having more success or less. In my holiday-save I can take Dinamo Zagreb as an example. They win the league by ease, that's nothing special, but in 2021 they made it until quarter finals in Europa League and lost in a tight game vs Arsenal. So over the years their Sponsors went up from 3.3m pounds to 5.75m pounds. 

The values are all coordinated to the strenght of the Nations financial power to avoid imbalance. I will update the megapack with more detailed informations as soon as possible.

Re finances mod, do you think we need to have it enabled if we also choose to block the first window transfer, as I'm always enabling this option in order to keep some authenticity?

Form my expericene, usually, the winter budgets are appearing around December 1st and clubs like  Manchester United  / Heerenven don't have so much to spend like in their normal summer windows IF checking that option.

In case of Manchester United, a team I'm also supporting, they seem to have an 100-120 M pounds /  summer / year  while the game is considering that budget additive so a manager could spend 200 if not spending it in one summer. From a fan point of view, I doubt the Glazers would sanction a budget higher than that regardless of the previous transfer windows. So, wouldn't be more realistic if the game somehow resets the budgets every year?

Edit: Do you think the Europa Conference League fix avaialable https://www.fmscout.com/c-fm21-leagues.html?id=7317  is compatible with the game importance mod?

Quote

Fix for teams from same nation being drawn against each other in qualifying rounds for both the Europa League and Europa Conference League.
Also changed fourth qualifying round name to playoff like in real life.
Changed fixture priority to high for every fixture.

First season higher seeded team plays at home

It actually doesn't really matter, because the mod set's transfer budget to zero, so even if you won't tick it, Clubs don't have a budget at the start.

I understand your point. But by default you start in the situation that the real transfer window already happend, so you shouldn't have any budget at all. But with the mod, you will likely get already a transfer budget around november for the upcoming transfer-window, which is the most realistic way IMO.

I've been running a first quick test save for this with just a couple of leagues, but values in Belgium seem really low.

Like Maehle went for less  than 1/3 of the real life fee. And Genk sold their two best young defenders at a loss.

 

I've only simulated a year so I'll check for other things in the long term.

 

[StatboySpurs 13]

How is the speed of this modpack for everyone else?  I started up a test save last night, with fewer players loaded than usual, and it seemed a bit slow.  The speed was fine when simulating from day to day, but things seem to lag quite a bit when I'm going in and out of club views, player screens, etc.  Anybody else, or is it just me?

Due the changes, transfer fees are lower than usual, and actually I am pretty happy with it. Due the special situation IRL Clubs are spending less money overall. In my Test-Save Krepin Diatta moved for 16.25m to Arsenal, so there is still decent money paid for them.

I think it's more likely to be the finances file. As I said, the Clubs won't be able to spend big money in the first season. Example from Genk IRL is Zhegrova. Basel bought him for much less money as they usually defined during the loan-period, so it's kind of a new phenomen that prices, especially for mid-term-clubs are falling. This will get back to "normal" after 2-3 Seasons. This is part of the realism-mod and if there aren't extremely unrealistic low fees, this won't be changed

As promised there are some screenshots to show you that the transfer market get's "normal" again. I really like the behavior, because despite there are high fees paid as IRL, the salarys didn't went crazy. Default start the highest wage paid for a team was 24mio. In year 2023 it increased to over 40. 

Default:

Transfers 21/22

Transfers 22/23

 

Transfers 23/24

 

Default in 2023 increased to over 40mil.

 

 

Custom files

Transfers  21/22

 

Transfers 22/23

 

Transfers 23/24

 

Salary

 

 

 

Summary:

It's exactly what all files should do overall. There aren't crazy salaries paid but they will slightly increase over the years again. There won't be crazy transfer-fees anymore which are really unlikely to happen in the near future for a belgian side team.

Update 12.01.21

Daveincids improved market values + Salaries + Sponsors v1.2

 

v1.2

- Issues from v1.1 still occur rarely, but much less.

- Several adjustments

Please keep in mind:

The shown market values are not directly linked to what is getting paid for a player or how good he is. This is also the case in default, but more tweaked in my file. Wonderkids without first-team-match-experience have usually a really low market-value, due they havent shown their talent under senior football conditions yet, like IRL. The value also decreases when the player is running out of contract.

Once they played a couple of games and achieved success in U-National-Teams their value can rise extremely. Low market values doesnt mean that you will get the players for this price or even close. Their shown value also changes as soon as there is a transfer-fee paid for them.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for sharing the screenshots, much appreciated. My honest opinion is that maybe the custom Jupiler league transfer fees are a bit too low compared to real life? Even the salaries of the top club went down by 4 million, no? Which could happen of course, especially post-covid. Are there any covid mechanics still at play with your files or your changes overrides the ones in vanilla?

The club transfer file is a great new addition! Will there not be any crossover from the transfer preferences file or they can co-exist? Was thinking of Portugal for example, surely your file already has Brazil as one of the top nations? In terms of feedback, I think you can remove Ostersunds FK from the file - the English players were linked to English managers who are no longer at the club. Maybe add Shakhtar to the Brazilian wonderkid fetishes club? And Sint-Truiden in Belgium have 5 Japanese players currently, probably classifies as an obsession!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for sharing the screenshots, much appreciated. My honest opinion is that maybe the custom Jupiler league transfer fees are a bit too low compared to real life? Even the salaries of the top club went down by 4 million, no? Which could happen of course, especially post-covid. Are there any covid mechanics still at play with your files or your changes overrides the ones in vanilla?

The club transfer file is a great new addition! Will there not be any crossover from the transfer preferences file or they can co-exist?

Hi freddieos,

Every save is different, in this particular save Belgium as a whole Nation was struggling in international games, this explains the decrease. It's definetly not the case in every save-game. The transfer-fees are that low because this is my expectation for 2021 for mid-range-teams. As I said it goes back to normal after some time. Covid has a strong effect in terms of finances, which I think is pretty realistic. 

The club-transfer-file doesn't crossover Nation-preferences:)  Ups, copy-paste mistake about Shakthar.....of course this is included I will check Ostersund and change it in the next update, thank you! I had Sint-Truiden on my list, but it just missed the cut for my criterias very close

I just checked the following source: https://www.transfermarkt.ch/ostersunds-fk/gastarbeiterDetails/verein/9614/land_id/189

As you can see it's not related to a single manager. This is constantly since 2008, so they definetly deserved a place on the list

Trust me, it was related to two English managers and two DoF in succession that were all English. But the last batch left the club in late summer 2020, and from now on I don't see them buying any English players. In fact, they have a 1-year transfer embargo currently! And on the verge of bankruptcy!

Btw, about the Belgian sponsorship error - what has it been changed to annually in your file?
