  1. This Custom Start File enables you to commence the game after the standard default setup dates, making it perfect for users who wish to start midway through a season.
    You need to be an FMRTE license holder in order to download this file.
     
    Note that Marituas is used as the country for this setup, so if you intend to make that country playable, this file cannot be used.
     
    Please note that this file is incompatible with any other Custom Start file and should not be shared on other platforms/websites.
     
    We regularly update this file every week, allowing you to commence the game on the current real-life date.
    If you want older Builds scroll down this page to -See Changelog below other Builds will show there.
     
    There is a bug in the game that when using custom start dates transfer budgets do not get increased in the first transfer window read from this post here for details.

     NB I am having to try to cater for the fact SI have cancelled FM25 so the recent files are needing more work as I am pushing the pre game editor which is really limited so I may reach a point where some months wont be possible
     
    I have used Marituas as the country to set this up and so if you do want to use that country to be playable you cannot use this file 
     
    I use this to check files I am creating to see if they are stable and work well several years in advance without the need to sim/holiday the game for many years which depending on your system/nations loaded can take hours/days!
     
    So you could start a season up to 10 years ahead using this, without having to Sim/holiday  from the 23/24 season yourself in holiday mode.
    The start date will be early June from 2024-2034, you pick your start up from the drop down list,
     
    The game will sim Promotions and relegations  still taking place.
     
    The known drawbacks if you started in say 2028 the game would be slower on its initial first start up, but only a couple of minutes more, after this it would be as normal;
    there is no transfer activity you would have the same squads as per 23/24 season including the same managers,[unless you have a Mod with the up to date transfers added] but once you start playing transfer activity will start again as normal.
    Also player stats would look as though it had been one long season in player history [as said I use this to test files only ]
    Recent bug found using the custom start date stops the transfer budget being reset for the first transfer window
     
    This cannot be used with any other custom start file and is not to be posted on any other sites as a file or part of a save game file, I am sharing this with the FMRTE community only.
