Garry Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm interested to know how realistic the FM database is. I've checked the contract expiry dates in FM 2015 for a few well-known players, and they match those on football information websites like Tranfermarkt. Are the dates for other players real or made up? And what about previous versions of FM. Do they use real-world contact data also? Thanks if you can help.

Scab Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, it is real. Of course, there may be uncertainty concerning certain players' contract details and the data is quickly rendered semi-fictional the moment you hit Continue a few times, but it is largely accurate.

Koki Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Of course, not all data is real. Some of the less known players have random values for some of their attributes or their contract expiry date. Still, the FM database is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Where a team in FM has its own researcher the data should be pretty accurate for information that is available. If the team has no researcher, then some of the data will be random, but on the whole the information is accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulwbafc Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Its as accurate as can be. Football clubs use the database. I live in australia. My local amatuer team redlands united has the players in football manager redlands united. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hull City Tiger Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You only have to watch the FM doc to see the lengths SI go to, to make sure FM is accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
