Yeah it forces you to do things i naturally do anyway, so in that sense there is no difference for me.
Makes sense

I played with @Daveincid mod in FM23, and while i really enjoyed it immensely for loads of other elements, it didnt really impact the effectiveness of high pressing tactic, unless you dont build or look after your squad properly.
I'm glad you liked it:) I completely agree. Of course you'll still be able to use high pressing tactics in a very effective way IF you manage your squad properly. My goal was mainly that you can't just successfully (most times) "plug & play" such tactics without taking several other factors into account.

Very interested in your mod Daveincd, great work. Have you got any data which compares use of high intensity tactics in “vanilla” game versus that your mods? For example, on injury rates?
I did more extensive tests last year but there is no benefit for me to spend massive time on evaluation for something which works fine for me for years
However, I did posted results as part of the Gegenpress-discussion in the General-Feedback-thread:

You'll know better than me of course, but I'm just going by the list of changes your mod advertises.
It's a question of interpretation. Does my mod impact the tactic itself? No. Does it impact the factors which are required to use a very intensive tactic in a very effective way? Yes it does.
So for my logic, this lowers the effectivity of tactics like Gegenpress

There's nothing in his pack that would cause gegenpressing to be 'less OP'.

ALTERNATIVE YOUTH RATING + GAME IMPORTANCE & OTHERS
This file changes the "youth ratings", the "game importance" and the "development status" of many countries. The main purpose of the changes is to make both the quantity and the potential maximum quality in long-term saves more realistic. However, this file is not solely responsible for the quality of players, the file „youth & training facilities“ is also very important.
BRIEFLY SUMMARISED
• The global distribution of talent has been slightly increased
• The development potential was calculated individually for each nation based on more than 15 different criteria. For example, the HDI (Human Development Index), national and international audience average, population size, financial resources and much more!
CLUB DATA FIX
This file completes various missing data of over 1500 clubs of the 1st and 2nd division in over 150 nations:
• Nicknames of clubs
• missing city coordinates
• 89 new stadiums
• missing club rivalries
• missing club foundation dates
• club colours
CLUB FINANCES FIX
The focus for the first December update was on Germany:
• All clubs of the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga had a much too low account balance, because from my point of view the TV money, which was paid out at the end of the 22/23 season, was not included. This has now been corrected
• The overstated debts of Schalke 04 have been adjusted.
GEOGRAPHICS & LANGUAGES (+German Version)
Geographical data:
The whole world is now covered with real data. From the population of a small village in Ghana to the correct altitude of small villages in the mountain peaks of Peru:
• 5500+ edited cities
• 1800+ local regions edited
• Missing coordinates of over 1800+ cities
• Missing elevation data of over 4200 cities
• All cities now hava a „attraction“ value added
These changes may have an impact on:
• The distribution of newgen birthplaces
• Travelling costs
• Sponsorship deals
• Contract negotiations
• Fitness/Injury frequency of players
Languages:
• 100+ new languages created
• The difficulty level of all languages has been increased by 30% to prevent players from learning the language too quickly
• 181 Nations have been edited
• 1800+ local regions
• Many individual cities edited
With those changes, the linguistic diversity of all nations is represented in much greater detail. In addition to the official languages of a nation, the unofficial languages are now also taken into account. These are intended to represent those people who speak a second or even third language without having the nationality of that nation.
German version:
The German version is located in an extra folder "German Version". If you play the game in German, delete the English version
REALISTIC INJURIES (+German Version)
This file increases the probability of injury by approx. 20% and further increases the number of injuries caused by sprints. The injury probability in the base game is traditionally always about 20% lower than in reality.
The advantages of this file:
• Better squad rotation (as there are more injuries)
• Young players reach their potential less often (important for the overall balance)
• Intensive counter-press tactics are less effective (as significantly more muscle injuries will occur due to sprinting
)
German version:
The German version can be found in an extra folder "German Version". If you play the game in German, delete the English version and replace it with this one.
SALARIES MARKET VALUES & SPONSORS
This file changes the financial behaviour in all nations in the 3 main areas "salaries", "market values" and "sponsorship income". The current update includes changes which especially lowers the too high wage-demands for top players in top leagues.
Salaries:
Salaries are based much more on real existing data. A player from Cameroon no longer earns €500k per year, but perhaps €30k.
Market values:
Market values have been adjusted globally so that the actual transfer fees paid (!not the market values shown!) in nation XY are more realistically represented. The market values in some larger nations have been lowered (e.g. England). The reason for this is that otherwise, talented players in particular won’t get transferred often, as the club demands are far too high.
Sponsors:
The sponsor values have been adjusted worldwide (and already tested for all default nations) to better balance the finances of the clubs. In addition, I have calculated individual maximum values for each nation. This should improve realism, especially in smaller nations, and thus make "Build a Nation" saves more realistic.
STAFF ATTRIBUTE ADJUSTMENTS
This file is intended to improve the behaviour of AI managers in the following areas:
• Squad rotation
• Loan out big talents
• Increased usage of young players in low priority cup matches
• Earlier tactical changes
TRANSFER PREFERENCES
I have researched all nations on transfermarkt.com that have a preference for players with a certain nationality and adjusted them accordingly. Over 200 nations have been edited! Not only the nationalities have been adjusted, but also the age preferences. There are certain nations that clearly stand out as "development leagues" based on various data. (Very high proportion of players under the age of 24). For example Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Croatia or even obscure nations such as Kyrgyzstan.
WEATHER CHANGES
I have integrated climate change into the game. In concrete terms, this means that there is a small probability (approx. 5%) that temperatures in all regions of the world will be higher than those entered by default. In London, for example, temperatures of up to 42 degrees can be reached in rare cases. Previously, the maximum was 32 degrees. This can have an impact on the fitness of the players. It is therefore definitely worth taking a closer look at the weather forecast for the next match.CITIZENSHIP FIX
I have made adjustments in 95 nations concerning the years to gain nationality. What sounds easy is quite tricky. The sources are sometimes different and unfortunately in the editor you cannot select the options "Will be naturalised if he has good relations with local politicians" or "Will be naturalised if he invests 1 Million euros in the country". 😉WORLDWIDE AWARD FIXES
This file balances the reputation-behavior through awards across all nations. It will be more difficult to keep your top youngster at your club, especially outside of top leagues but it also increases the chances that top clubs want to sign your player for a lot of money. Overall, it should help to make squad management, player happiness and transfers more logical.WORLDWIDE DERBY FIXES
This file adds over 300 missing derbies from clubs and national teams in over 50 nations.It also contains over 1000 reputation adjustments to create a cross-nation balance.Among others, derbies are included such as:• "Volga Derby" between Rubin Kazan and Krylia Sovietov.• "La guerra del futbol" between El Salvador and Honduras.• The "Derby of Ghana" between Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak SC and many more!NATIONS AGREEMENTSThis file adds 24 agreements between nations. You can find this information in the nation tab overview.NATIONAL TEAM ATTENDANCEAll national teams now have the correct attendances added. Unfortunately Football Manager does not implement this 1:1 and the number of spectators in the game is often much higher than it should be. I have taken this into account in my adjustments.NATIONAL TEAM REPUTATIONFor a better game balance, I have slightly adjusted all national team reputations.YOUTH & TRAINING FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTSThis file improves the balance of the current ability of newgens when they are created. In some cases/nations it was generally too high and in others too weak. The adjustments to the training facilities then ensure that the subsequent development speed is realistic.CA/PA ADJUSTMENTS + NEW WONDERKIDS & OTHERSIn total there were over 31k players edited in over 160 nations. Over 84k changes.
The following areas were edited:• New Wonderkids (players already in the database, but way too bad)• CA/PA adjustments based on the first half of the 23/24 season• Missed preferred foot• Missing dual nationalities• Missing player relations• Missing player height• Structural problems with player reputations (has been harmonized worldwide)I have also made a complete overhaul for national teams worldwide.
This leads to:1. More realistic national team selection. (A lot of minor nations were outdated)2. A better representation of each national team's strenghtCLUB TRANSFER PREFERENCESA total of 22 teams from 20 nations have a special preference. This can either be players from a certain nation or age preference.LEAGUE REPUTATION CHANGESAdjustments were mainly made in South America (balancing reasons).TICKET PRICE ADJUSTMENTSMainly teams from Asia were editedPERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
This file includes some clean-up of the original database which leads to speed improvements up to 10%, depending on your db setup. I've tested it with several different setups and speed improvements were between 6.2-10.4%.
BLUE STARS FIFA YOUTH CUP NEW
This is a youth tournament which is held yearly in Switzerland wihere some of the biggest Clubs worldwide taking part. The file was part of DaveTheEditor’s FM23 files and he gave me the permission to continue the files for FM24.PRE-SEASON CUPS NEW
This file adds several pre-season cups to the game. The file was part of DaveTheEditor’s FM23 files and he gave me the permission to continue the files for FM24.FC BARCELONA SALARY FIX NEW
This file corrects some of Barca’s player salaries. According to the latest financial reports, the total salary-costs of Barcelona is much higher as it’s represented in the game. In longterm-saves, this leads to Barcelona swimming in money while in reality they are struggling.
GERMAN II TEAMS FIX NEW
If you are playing with a german lower league file, II-teams of Bundesliga clubs tend to dominate their division and after a couple of ingame years, the 3rd division is often dominated with much more II-teams as it should. This file reduces the strength of II-teams without hardcoding any rule which would prevent them from promotion.
FRANCE OVERSEAS TERRITORY FIX NEW
This file fixes a bug where french overseas territories such as Guadeloupe or French Guyana can’t field all their players while playing in the french cup. So it makes playing in one of those overseas territories more of a pain than joy. With this file, all players are able to play the french cup and especially «build a nation» in those nations are now much more entertaining.
PLANS FOR THE MAY UPDATE?
A lot!

France Ligue 1: IRL about 1050 goals, so missing more than 200 goals
In case you took the number for 20 teams - France Ligue 1 went from 20 to 18 teams, so those numbers are fine with 2 teams less.
Edit: Germany has no Haaland or Lewandowski anymore, so maybe this has an impact too
