No Data Update for FM24: What Football Manager Fans Need to Know

Football Manager enthusiasts, we have some important news to share. Sports Interactive (SI) has confirmed that there will be no data update for Football Manager 24 (FM24). This means the game won’t receive the latest season’s data, including new leagues, transfers, and competition rules. Let’s break down what this means for you and explore your options.

How This Affects FM24 Players

Here’s what you need to know about the impact on FM24:

• The game will remain in its current state, without updates reflecting the latest season’s changes.
• You won’t have access to new leagues, transfers, or updated competition rules.
• The delay of Football Manager 25 (FM25) means you’ll have to wait longer for the next full release.

Community Mods: A Temporary Solution

Don’t worry, there’s still a way to enjoy updated content:

• Community-made mods can transform FM24 into a pseudo-FM25, at least in terms of the database.
• If you’re a PC player, you can install these mods to access the latest season’s data.
• This can help tide you over until FM25’s release in March 2025.

Understanding SI’s Decision

SI has provided an explanation for their decision on Twitter. Here are the key points:

• Updating FM24 would require recreating assets and data in full, not just lifting them from FM25.
• This process would be resource-intensive and take away from FM25’s development.
• SI is committed to delivering FM25 at the highest possible quality.
