Just downloaded the game on steam. I wanted to update the database before starting a new game. Are there any official updates for the database which has tweaked the stats of the players now the seasons are half way done? Obviously a database that has also included the transfer window transfers. And if there is, does installing one update wipe the last one you install or does each update include the data from the previous one. Only official updates I'm after from Si Games ideally.
So the first and only update since its release will be the one coming out end of Feb/early March basically? I'm not sure I'd want to use any official ones as that means if they had change stats or created any new players they'd have just made / changed the stats based on their own opinions / judgment? At least with SI Games they employ scouts and do a lot of research on stats to create new players to add to the database each year or change players' stats from the year before. Right?
Most database updates do not change players their attributes. They simply transfer players from one club to another or have players sign an agreement where they move at the end of the season if that's the case in real life. I was in the same boat and I don't want to wait another 2 weeks so I downloaded a custom database which has all the January transfers done
Ah fair enough Jeff. I was interested in changed attributes because I always manager Birmingham City. We've dramatically better than last season. Che Adams had 3 bids made for him and he's the top scorer in the championship and Jutkewicz is the top assists too. On FIFA the player' have been improved quite a bit and we've had a few new U23s come through. So I wondered if FM upgraded and degraded players once or twice a year at least depending on how players are performing in real life. But I guess not. Not even in the transfer window update.
Yes this is what I mean Jordan / Snorks. The players stats being tweaked based on performance in the first half of the season. Has this happened yet and if so, how do I get this update on the database?
2nd part - fifa and fm are two totally different games, fifa could get proper research to have fairly rated players in lower leagues but they rather want ultimate team to be the main source of income so don't expect silver and bronze cards rated 'like in real life'. And FIFA is more about being a player, FM is more about being a manager.
1. FM gets only 1 'transfer/stats/ patch and is after winter transfer window, usually at the start of the march. Probably there will be updates to this 19.3 patch but only bugs/fixes or critical errors in database (wrong rules for example)
2. FIFA now is aimed at younger lads without 'ours' comprehensive knowledge about football , they want to play neymar, salah, mbappe, not leeds united (no offence). And because silver and bronze cards are useless - they won't spend any more time than they want to improve research for these players. EA want to rip off year by year from people giving them the same game without improvements (they just shuffle gamplays). And I'm saying this as fifa player from '02 and fut player from '14.
I am talking about unofficial databases you can download from various sites, they usually only contain transfers without stat changes. I thought OP was worried about downloading an unofficial database with updates transfers but also edited stats
In the end, it's business. FIFA was never a managerial game, so they created FIFA Manager up until 2014 I think. It was better in FM in 'non managerial things' like signing new sponsors (you could choose them and where to put them), creating academies in minor countries, and so on but they lacked these tactic/managerial details so I doubt if they create something similar in the future. But only one can hope.
Hello everyone, thank you so much for your hard work. I played manager 22, now I've switched to 24, but there is a problem. How can Russian teams and the national team return to European competitions?
Nice reply . To be honest I don't really get it. Is it the SQL-part you don't agree with or the fact that I'm looking for the database? Please elaborate, I'm very curious.
Is this your humble way of saying that the database is not available?
The database is SI's pride and joy, the crown jewels, the heart and soul of FM. God knows how many man-hours are invested in there - multiple millions, I shouldn't wonder. One of the reasons that FM has no competition is that no-one has ever come close to reproducing the database. Is it reasonable to assume they'll hand it over to anyone who asks?
Since 2021 I work on a big database mod for Football Manager because I was tired of playing with same teams, same players save after save. I've reshaped the world of football with original clubs and a brand new player database. Each club has its own identity and strives to become the best team in the world.
At the beginning of the game, any team in the world will accept your application for the manager's position. Once appointed, you can get down to the nitty-gritty of making a championship-winning squad. If you possess a basic knowledge of football then you'll certainly find it easier to understand the general demands of being a manager. And if you're a fan of the club in question, you should also know a little bit about the individual players in the team. However, you can choose to delegate practically every aspect of the game to your assistant managers, freeing you up to concentrate on key areas such as signing new talent and managing the first team.
One of the most important things you need to do as manager is find the best players to join your team. FIFA Manager 07 presents players who are available on the transfer market so that you may make a bid, as well as letting you make offers on players not on the market. If you're trying to secure someone not on the transfer list, it helps if you're working for a bigger club, as most unlisted players will only consider a move to somewhere of higher stature. A much more intelligent way to find hot new players is to use scouts, who can investigate domestic and foreign leagues based on a number of search criteria, such as player position and market value. You can also use your scout to get feedback on your next opponents, with the results stored away for future reference.
The final piece of the management puzzle is marketing and facilities, and you need to spend time looking after both the stadium and the fans that fill it. A clever manager will check in with supporters on a regular basis to find out how they feel, and they can try to boost their PR by giving away free tickets or holding an autograph session. You also need to engage in your own bit of PR, talking to the press on match day, both pregame and post, and choosing whether you want to represent yourself as a democratic manager or an autocratic one. Each club has a 3D stadium representation that you can explore and rebuild as needed, and you can sell ad space around the pitch to real-world sponsors such as Barclays and EA Sports. There's also a Sim City-style view of all your facilities, including press centres and physiotherapists, all of which can be expanded once you have the funds.
Boasting all these features means that FIFA Manager 07 can compete with other football management games on the market, but it also brings a couple of other quirky issues to the table. Aside from your life at the club, you need to take care of your social interests such as family, property, and sports. You can choose to live the single life, have a partner or get married and have children. The game is even so modern and politically correct as to offer same-sex marriage and adoption options, but it all feels a bit tacked on in a football management game. Much like a real family, your virtual family just spends your money and gets angry at you when you forget anniversaries and birthdays. At least the game also features some of the better aspects of the football manager lifestyle--you can buy luxury cars and houses and sometimes even make money when you sell them. If you play golf on a regular basis, you can lower your handicap, which will have a positive influence in business relationships.
The audio in the game does a good job of capturing the atmosphere of match day, while the music in the menus lightens up what is effectively a fancy database. In the 3D match mode, the crowd reacts to what's happening in the game, while the excellent commentary is supplied by John Motson and Ally McCoist. The music contains some familiar highlights for sports fans, especially those that have ever watched BBC TV's sports programme Grandstand in the UK. It's a change from the main FIFA series, which usually takes the licensed-pop music approach.
