Update 71+72
Added 2025-07-11 17:31:25 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
vote for Update 71 was won by Spain+ (adding level 6) so it will be done for this update.
In Update 70 will be added Denmark+ (added level 9) and updated Botswana, Guyana and Morocco.
Denmark+ - added level 9/Series 3 (in Jutland because of their format it's Series 2), added missing teams/cities/stadiums, Uganda Danish Cranes (team in Copenhagen) configured so they produce in youth intake players with ugandian nationality
Botswana - updated formats/finances/rules, added kits to teams that had none
Guyana - updated formats of competitions, updated finances/rules, added kits to teams that had none
Morocco - practically like in case of Algeria, everything is reworked/updated, added kits to teams that had none
This week is mostly about Denmark and Series 3 (level 9), some regions have very complex systems where they have promotion/relegation twice in one season, which has to be simplified in FM. Another thing that for level 9 is simplified is in Copenhagen leagues, where group 1 is for "A" teams and other groups are for "2nd-10th" teams, in level 9 there are 4 "reserve groups" but I made only 2 because there was many 4th/5th and even 10th team which will never work correctly in FM, AI in FM in general works kind of weird if it has more than 2 reserve teams, but literally when I counted the 2/3 teams it was exact number for 2 groups, so I went with that.
Like in Switzerland here you can find team which is formed mostly by ugandian/african players (Uganda Danish Cranes), that's why I made it so in youth intakes it creates players with ugandian nationality. I will look throught the teams if there are more teams that are formed mostly by immigrants and if I found some I will change their youth intakes too.
In level 9 there are 4 teams that are reserve/affilated to teams from level 1, because teams in level 1 already have 3 reserve teams, these teams are seperated from them with affilations to those teams, there are configured as always amateur and in name at the end they have "amateur" for example "AGF Amateur", you can be manager of those teams (there are kind of like reserve teams in Spain).
I'm continuing in updating older databases and this time is updated Botswana, Guyana and Morocco. My initial ideas for what to update changed little bit, because in few last updates it was updated Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia and I saw that Morocco is in need of updating and it's the last big football nation in North Africa. Morocco same as in case of Algeria is fully reworked/updated.
I saw that I didn't do anything in North America for longer time (except USA) and I saw that in Guyana there were some changes in formats and cups, so I decided to make it. Updated are formats/rules/finances.
Last updated nation is Botswana, they had plans to lower the number of teams in level 1 but after 2023/24 they scrapped it (the planned changes were in old database), updated are player rules and finances and added kits/more information to teams that had none.
For Update 71 will be made Spain+ (adding level 6) (I made a mistake and I though that there is already level 6 done but it's not, I'm really sorry about that), in level 6 there is 19 regions which each have different number of leagues/groups, there are regional cups/super cups, there is lots of things to add, I want to look into youth system and how level 3 looks, if there are regional cups or some internatinal youth cups. Level 7 is bigger and practically all things are missing in database, I will put it in the voting so level 6/7 could be added in two weeks as a sorry for my mistake. I don't know if there will be any time to work on anything else but if there will be some I want to update Lesotho with adding plus version which will make whole pyramid (2 levels are playable and there is only one more level).
Another thing I'm slowly working on is Czech Republic "Remaster" of the database, the plus version (till level 8) is very old and it's imported and worked on since FM19 so there are some things that work weirdly or there are bugs or things can be done better or with less changes, when I was looking at thigs there could be I believe around 150,000 less changes that are there because of the importing from FM19 onward, which is a lot acutally and it would make the loading faster. Base from this "remaster" is from (D4) version which is done with all of the expanding in mind so it will not need that many changes. I read/view lots of feedback that people have problems with or would want to change, so things will be little different. First thing that is already done levels 2-4 is that you can be manager of whichever "B" team (like in Spain), so you can start your career as reserve manager of your favorite team in level 1/2, all of the reserve teams will be possible to manage no matter the level. My plan is to release versions after finishing level (for examle level 5, after that level 6 etc), Remaster of level 5 will be in next voting because this way you can faster the progress. This is something I have in my mind for quite some time, because I believe that FM24 will be for some quite time best football manager, because I don't have much faith in FM26 and it's quality and that's why I want to make best version of Czech Republic for FM24. And yes there will be last update for old plus version with some name changes of clubs and boosting finances + with updated graphic pack for 24.3.0, and there will be new graphic pack for remastered version.
Voting for Update 72 will have Jamaica+ (adding level 2 + youth system) , Czech Republic "Remaster" (level 5) , Spain+ (adding level 7) and Brazil+ (adding fantasy Serie E/F).
As always thank you for your support and I wish you nice weekend :)
