The reason why the current changes have been made and not others is because those are the database changes that didn't make it in the last patch. As far as SI was concerned, the other nations were updated and that was the end of that. Think of this as a part 2 of the last patch and it'll make more sense.
Then it should change starting next game.
It does not make sense to release a patch in April that does not cover a lot of South American leagues that have windows open until March/April. The rosters are not even updated as far as February on SA.

I don't remember a year worse than this.
It has nothing past early/mid February. Not even one.

Hello, if your game version is 24.4, you'll have received the latest data update.
The database version number has not changed for this update.
Zachary, was there a reasoning to exclude most changes outside China/USA besides mid February?
24.3 out on March, updated on 9th April and does not have most things made until the end of February?

This is comical then. A data update released in April does not reflect managerial changes from two months ago?
That particular managerial change even happened before the previous data update.
Most changes post Mid February are not reflected.
Already noted some big changes being out in South America as well. I do think this was a unnecessary data update if it wasn't to reflect at least until March.

I think they did not change the database version, just updated 24.3. Same thing as when they roll out the day one patch it does not update DB version from the Beta.

Underwhelming. Wait until April and most changes past mid February are not in the database. I don't think this update was necessary at this point, nor to wait this much if it wasn't going to be updated until early March.

Why isn't Daniel Daga on the new patch?

Of course you can compare. It's not like they totally rebuilt the engine from scratch, they just changed the menu from sliders to a more realistic text-based system.
High-tempo pressing has been around for a long time. Klopp was influenced by managers like Ralf Rangnick and Arrigo Sacchi.
Gegenpressing became very popular after Dortmund won the Bundesliga in 2011 and 2012.That time, Pep's Barca was also well-known for their high pressing.
Is it more popular nowadays than 10 years ago? Yep.
Is it some magic op formula, like it is in FM24? Nope.Even SI acknowledged that gegenpressing is op, but still haven't balanced things out.
Btw the new patch will come in a few weeks, right?
My post has nothing to do with gegenpressing, I was talking about the Defensive tactic you posted there. Most of the “defensive” tactics posted just give up the ball every time they can, and as such they are penalized by it. While I can agree gegenpressing is indeed OP (which I never said it wasn’t) those “defensive” tactics just aren’t up to date.
also highlighted that the players mentality play a part besides team mentality

I downloaded one of those top tactics to check how it performs with Luton (predicted to finish 20th).
A crazy, reckless tactic that shouldn't work with the weakest team in the league.
Maximum intensity, ultra-hard pressing for 90 minutes.
Attacking mentality, a very high defensive line and hard tackling.
Match engine loves it though:
Jacob Brown scored more than Haaland and Ross Barkley is the league's best player.
Bell has the 2nd highest assist count. This maestro...
Setting up a similar tactic in FM 13 with the 20th predicted team.
Seems way more realistic.
Adopting a more cautious tactical approach, as opposed to an all-out attacking, high-pressing one, used to yield better results for underdog teams.
Why are you comparing sliders to the instructions on FM24? How is this even a test? Nothing in the screens shares a similarity because it has been said a lot in the forums that sliders are not comparable to the new set of instructions. FM13 is a much more simple ME with a lot less possible outcomes, yet, if you find it so good you're always free do play it again.
No one would be able to compete with the tactic you have on FM13. The fact it does perform shows how much the game has evolved and how teams and users should be punished by not pressing and giving the ball to the opposition. This is a real representation of football nowadays, if you have a problem with it you should watch another sport probably. Even defence-first managers don't give up on pressing and have a lot of attitude when they have the ball, all the tactics here supposedly defensive do not show this.
Also a lot of you guys here seems to misunderstand the mentalities (team + player) what's the point of having TM on Defensive and having 4 players on Attack? What's the point? @Ö-zil to the Arsenal! has a great thread on Twitter about this.

Would be good if youth setup identified which areas of first team squad needed long term replacements, more depth etc. Rather than the game generating youth players in positions you don't need or they have no chance of getting to first team squad.
What would be the fun in that? Does every academy only gets first team squad long term replacements?
What would be the point of having a level to the youth academy then

You load up your game and try sign a player, any player that Has signed a pre contract and I'd wager the game won't let you do it. The option to buy won't even be available.
Imagine you approach a player with 6 months left on his deal and he agrees to join your club on a free. It's signed and sealed. Then another club just offer his release clause, don't you think that that is an oversight during development?
Load up the game, try to sign a U16 player with a pre-contract and you'll be able to sign him providing he's interested in moving.
Sign a pre-contract to move from a club to another it's not the same thing as a pre-arranged renewal. Any sports lawyer would disagree with you. That's why you can't sign players with future transfers but can in that situation
Endrick is an excellent example. He was on a youth contract when signed and had already a pre-arranged renewal with salary improvements. Real Madrid was able to sign him anyway

Appreciate the Q but it won't be as simple as reverting to how it was previously. Advancements in other areas mean that reverting this change would require work elsewhere to make it possible, with lots of knock-ons as such.
Yeah i would imagine so, worth the question though!
Thanks for your patience

Changing skins is possible on the Console PC version but I've not heard of any version available. Importing tactics on Console PC version is also possible but it an absolute pain

When I look at my top youth prospects at the club, they often say under “negatives:”
- unhappy with training overall
- unhappy with the drastic recent changes in training intensity
Sometimes they also say that the poor level of training is to blame for the team’s poor form.
How do I fix this? The game doesn’t seem to let me adjust individual youth players’ training or training intensity, or set the training intensity for the reserve team overall, even when I set the training responsibility as “head coach” for the reserve squad. In fact I can’t even figure out how to *see* the training positions, intensity, preferred moves etc. for my reserve players.
What’s going on here? Why would the game give me the option to claim responsibility for reserve training but then no way to control it? And then have my players complain about it? Am I missing something? How can I develop my youth the way I want them if the game is giving them crappy training and I can change it? I hope I am missing something, because what is the point of managing a franchise over the years if you have no control over how your youngsters develop?
Im playing FM24 Touch on iOS via Apple Arcade. I bought Apple Arcade specifically to play this game. But didn’t know the game would be so basic as to not allow youth development.
Thanks for any response.
@Dan Sheppardcan't the dev team review to revert the reserve training to how it was before? completely optional?

All I can share at this stage is that the team are looking at the setup flow ahead of '25 to see what improvements can be made across all competitions.
Fair enough! I'll be looking forward to that

Hi @Dan Sheppard, what would be the real consequences in enhancing the database on the next patch so it could load proper squads for other continents?
Let's say I'll play on Africa/South America/North America, as there is a lack of leagues in those continents continental competitions become too easy real soon.
For example, Copa Libertadores is far too easy as the squads in Paraguay, Ecuador, Venezuela are not filled up with players and they never catch up. On full fat they present challenge. I understand the leagues are added per interest base, but having a stripped database is a bit off. Players and Clubs could be the same and be loaded accordingly to the leagues chosen in the setup. Maybe have a limit to what is loaded in absolute numbers but to have the choice of loading what we have on the full version would be awesome.
I Worte about this on the feature requests but passing this to you as I'm unsure if this is possible.0 -

@Luiza lampard - This will only update once we release one of the larger database updates. Any updates to certain teams/players that have been made via updates so far should be applied as long as you've updated your game.
Since you're here, what defines which players make the cut from one update to another? Just checked i lost a couple wonderkids on the database. (I've checked manually the players exported

Playing on a Handheld Console is a pain in the ass at the moment.
I know it's not "officially supported" but installed a little partition on Steam Deck to try out FMC24. Ran really fine, a really nice experience but Zoom's were all over the place. Smaller/Larger buttons on preference are not working as intended and after checking ui_zoom_level, I noticed they try to push up to odd numbers of zoom like 165%, 180%, in 1080p or 720p0 -
@Marc Vaughan tagging you directly just so I understand:
Is there any sort of B team connection with the First Team? Within tactics for example, should players compete in a more similar way to what I'm setting the team, or is it totally random?0 -
Yes, only on Arcade

I will bring this up and I'm fairly certain this is something that has already been mentioned before.
I could even open a thread on the Requests sub forum. The idea could be exactly the same as it is with FM Console to be honest. Touchscreen and Gamepad skin and then the Mouse/Keyboard skin.
I'm fairly sure on Console it's something along those lines. It would certainly be an awesome feature to have!0

I did some research as well but that's beyond the point, things will need to be updated for FM25 so work will be done regardless right? Is this data update really necessary? I think this could be better managed just that
I think it would be better to manage the data updates in a different manner, no? Transfer windows are not the same they used to be 4 years ago, for example most people that play on South America leagues have an outdated DB for half of the game cycle. Why is that? Europe leagues are directly affected by this as well because there are innumerous transfers out to other leagues that stay open during February/March/April.
I don't think weekly updates are the answer but a more clear communication would be nice. Setting deadlines for the Data Updates in a precise manner would be nice for example. Like: "24.3 (March) is updated until 1 Feb" or other any date. If SI manages expectations and clearly states what we can expect i think most people will set theirs accordingly.
Communication is always the first thing to address in these cases imo.
