Build 29 released[start date 21 August 2023] Working on a custom start date after the first normal season[see above] Its proving to be a challenge but getting there just like this post to access the download

This project is where legends are added to the game as new/future Regens, initially I had it working in FM21 But due to SI changes it was not working in FM22, they blocked some files, but I have ran tests and it seems to be working in FM 23 👍 it will depend on the various nations when the intake of regens happens in game it could be a year after start date [This is not placed in your editor data folder it is not a FMF or XML file] The file is an edt file so it is placed here- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2300\edt\permanent YOU ALSO NEED TO ADD THIS TO THE 2330 AND 2340 UPDATES TOO- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2330\edt\permanent C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2340\edt\permanent NB You need to start a new save for this to work you can edit[use notepad+++] the file to suite your needs perhaps add yourself/anyone as a future regen so add/remove as you wish I will show how its done in the next few posts This is not to be posted on any other sites without my permission There is the option to add - minus values for PA instead of fixed values eg you could try -9 instead of a fixed 180 etc etc I have added the top 3 players in the file with -minus PA and they do work in game I am once again sharing this file with the community here further testing is needed by you on things like this minus PA you can try this yourself and report back note this file I worked on FOR FM21[didnt work in FM22] so the year of births should be made later if you want these legends to start as youth players later in game I would say 2006/ 2007 [and keep increasing the year to stagger the intake so if you dont want them all in the game at the same time] as a starting year in 2023 making them 16 NB if and when there are any updates to the game the file will have to be added to DB update folders eg 2300 2310 2330 2340 How to download- Just Like and subscribe to this post/s to get the content do not PM or tag me asking for the file just like the post. I will add you to the download link when I am free.

NB READ THE RECOMMENDED POSTS PINNED TO THE TOP OF THE THREAD 👆 Here is my custom start file to start the game later than the normal default set up dates, this is ideal for users wanting to start mid way through a season. It is a start date file only just to be clear. With an additional Mod such as a real fixtures/results file[not part of this file,but linked below] you could then take over Wolves sitting bottom of the EPL as of the 14/11/22 [Build 1] 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 This cannot be used with any other custom start file and is not to be posted on any other sites I am sharing this with the FMRTE community only.

How to download Check the recommended posts above I will just start a new PM with download links weekly to stop the excessive numbers building up. Any user asking questions on things covered in this post will have their post deleted so read this clearly. I am closing the thread to comments at this stage.

Build 26 released-download attached This is a fix to the build 25 file to start a new save game on the 12/06/23 to use with the FM23.4.0 DB. There are issues trying to get certain dates to work after the 'first season has finished' that I will try to address like/thank this post as you download the direct download to show support and for continued updates😉 If you want the older builds and extra content like this post above Build 26 FMRTE Custom Start Date.fmf

This year obviously Brexit has occurred in real life and so the option as with previous versions was just to remove the Agreement change or edit it. This year the agreement tab is empty i.e. Brexit has happened the UK has left the EU so England has to again return to the European Union if you want to reverse Brexit. so go to nations in the Database - as soon as you click nations it will load a list of countries, so either search for England or scroll down the list and click on England Now click on Information tab- Agreements tab appears in the drop down menu-click on that You need to click Add to get the 2 agreements back Then use search to select the agreements you want to add you need 2 [as image above] when you press Add initially it will add European Union by default You can add the start dates if you wish as the image below shows Build 1-So this will be a test file to see if changing these does stop Brexit and address the work permit issues.[to use with default DB only] - How to download- Like this post to get the content and for further files to be added in future, like those posts/updates when future updates/builds are added any questions ask on this thread not by PM If you are a new member your posts will need to be approved be patient and I will add you to the download content when I have the time. As always Download the file and paste them in Documents \Sports Interactive \Football Manager 2023 \editor data folder if there isnt an editor data folder create one[using lower case do not use caps ] Open the game and start a new career Select Database Then a drop down menu appears of all the files in your edited data folder make sure the file/s you want to use are checked with a tick and then you are good to go NB delete all older versions of this file you should only have one in your editor data folder If there is an update to the game the file may not work in the new DB read the FAQ[30] to resolve this.

This is my custom start date allowing you to start FM23 in later seasons. 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 22/23 season yourself in holiday mode.The start date will be early June from 2022-2032, 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 2026 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 22/23 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 ] This cannot be used with any other custom start file and is not to be posted on any other sites I am sharing this with the FMRTE community only. How to download- Like and subscribe to this post to get the content, and for further files to be added in future DO NOT PM FOR THE DOWNLOAD Where do I place files/mods I have downloaded-read this for full details PC+Mac users click Here Closing thread to comments at this stage as its being used by some users to post on other things.

@Alexander Hanks read the opening post as regards your question its covered there

We have been discussing for a few weeks and are looking at the prospect of combining my weekly Custom Start Date along with a combined fixtures/results file/s.But not created as it is now, more information will be released over the next few months. These would be released on a weekly basis as I do now with the start date file. This is being discussed and it will depend on a few factors whether this goes ahead. Firstly the time involved and other users getting on board and assisting.I have done this before so I will coordinate what needs doing. Also post in this thread a brief comment of what leagues you would like to see added and put yourself forward to assist in the project.. To show your interest in this even being considered happening[a combined file] just like this post. NB This thread is just to discuss this future project for the next game [FM24].For any other matters use the correct thread or start your own new topic. Cheers

Build 15 is now added😉 This is a file to start a new save game on the 27/03/23 to use with the FM23.3.0 DB I am closing the thread at this stage to comments, due to some users just constantly tagging me without any need when the advice is simple to follow, and asking questions already covered in the opening post/recommended posts, they clearly are not reading them. Just like this post/ and any other content you wish to receive, and I will add you to the download link when free. I cant leave everyone permanently added to the Download link as there is a limit at any given time, so download the files you want as soon as you can, be patient being added/re-added to the link😉 DO NOT PM me regarding the download link, it is clear what to do. [Several users have been added to the link for sometime and not read it so I will be removing you to free up space] now closed

I would like to let everyone know that both the latest Arcade version of FM2023 and FMRTE are working under Sonoma Version 14.0 Beta (23A5328b) Cheers!

Hi you can do this by selecting register at any time under your profile, and then either via relations tab of player/s add squad registration or via a custom preset cheers

File updated to work with the FM23.4.0 DB

General Posts Do not PM staff your questions use the forums When you have an issue or just seeking some advice, and want input from staff/users on the forum please give enough information when initially posting so you can receive the help/feedback that is appropriate and to make sure your thread is posted in the correct forum-Forums have a brief description at the top, most are obviously self explanatory. Please post in English I know it is not everyone's natural language so you translate if you need to. The information should include the version of the game/editor you are using(ideally in the title) and it is required for you to clarify in the post the EXACT version eg Football Manager 2019 - 19.3.3 (1202861) and if you are a Beta tester for SI[AS YOU WILL BE USING A VERSION WE DO NOT HAVE] also if using Windows/Mac and any other platforms xbox/steam etc. Please use the search function here too first as there are many occasions where users are creating threads with no need when the same issue/question has been already raised and answered. If you create unnecessary threads they will be closed deleted at the discretion of staff. Use screenshots to assist with your question/issue. I use Gyazo- it is free easy and quick to use, and when posting an image just copy and paste it directly into your post, post the image not the link to download it, do not expect others to have to download something to assist you, when it should be displayed here, its easy to do so please follow this. If you have a few points don't post as one big paragraph break it up so it's easy to read. You can now post images directly to a thread there is no need to use links or to expect others to download an image just to see it to assist you , just right click copy image and paste it directly in your post. If you are having issues with a file not working you need to list all other files you are using too[screenshot of editor data folder would be better and quicker] (when using third party content be careful as some do not tell you all the changes in their files and they can cause conflicts if you are running another file with similar changes, best option open any third party file in the editor and physically check what changes have been made eg I have used files that are supposedly just for 'missing wonderkids' on opening the file the creator had also made changes to teams and other club/european changes that would have caused conflicts with my other files later in game) NB sometimes you get duplicate players in game because of this as 'missing' players may have been added to various files and so the game will just give the player concerned a different random unique ID. After you have received some feedback especially if it is advice can you report back on the thread if that worked for you not just out of courtesy but for future reference for us/other users. When a thread is closed if users have further comments to add to the thread just PM a mod/staff member and we can reopen it at any time if it is required. Requests and posting etiquette. Please note staff here are involved in various projects that take up our time along with moderating the forums etc so you may have to wait for an answer. The idea is all users need to get involved in helping each other, this will only work with users getting involved. Can there be a bit of etiquette too on the forums when users are making a request etc it is not much to ask to use a bit of manners- a please/thank you goes a long way. Like a post where someone has taken time to help/responded to you. Remember the person you are asking a question or making a request to is helping you so its not much to ask to be polite most users are really good but some are being rude/entitled/demanding and this needs to stop.When you get help the least you can do is thank that person and vote like/thank their reply Once you have posted DO NOT post duplicate/similar posts/threads/PM on the same issue/question or post in threads not related to your issue, as they will be considered spamming the forums. Also anyone who is seen hassling/pressurizing another user to do something for them or making someone feel guilty because they wont take on other projects and or being rude because it isnt done instantly, will have their posts removed and or receive a warning at the discretion of staff . So to be clear-There are to be no undue demands on individuals who have already put a lot of time and effort into creating files/updates to share with the community this particularly includes by PM too, ask questions on the forums. Where do I place files/mods I have downloaded-read this for full details PC+Mac users click on quote below👇 @hazem rashad

you are this guy here you stated there you have FMRTE, use it to change the squad you are confused with advanced rule editing so dont go down that route when FMRTE can do what you want in the click of a button😉 if you are unsure how to do this ask on the discussion forums read this before posting

Hello, First of all, I want to express my gratitude for creating an application like FMRTE. I would like to use a specific feature in the application, but I couldn't find whether this feature exists or not. If it doesn't exist, I kindly request its addition. When I use Search Filter > Player > General > Positional Rating > Current & Potential + Position in order to search for players based on their ability for specific positions within the game, all players in the game appear in the results. If you are managing one of the top teams, this is convenient as you can select and transfer the players you want. However, when managing a lower-profile or amateur team, especially with this filter, you cannot transfer about 90% of the players found through this search. This renders the listing ineffective. In Football Manager 2023, under Scouting, you can filter players under the Observation category with options like Uncertain, Not Sure, Slightly Interested, Interested, Very Interested, Extremely Interested, and then transfer the potentially interested players to your team. This allows for creating a shortlist. I can accomplish this with FMRTE, but I can't perform a filter or search on the Positional Rating > Current & Potential + Position for players within this shortlist. Since the general Actual Rating and Potential Rating evaluations are not position-specific, a player listed as MC in the game could have the best potential as AMC, for example. Additionally, I can't determine if FMRTE allows for searching within shortlists or even see the Positional Rating values within the shortlist columns. The only option is to individually open players and check the Scout Information > Positional Rating under FMRTE, which is time-consuming and difficult with long lists. Is it possible to achieve what I want to do? Can the game's internally created Shortlists be used as the primary data source and allow for a Search Filter > Player > General > Positional Rating > Current & Potential + Position search? Alternatively, when opening the internally created shortlists in FMRTE, can the Positional Rating values be visible through columns? Thanks.

FMRTE allows importing of shortlists but not as I can see anyway of searching specifically as you want to do within that list IMO a good request but I am ok with current set up as you can see a players position so again IMO I would see other features as a more pressing[if possible😉] as stated you can see a players position and if you want more info scout the player to get full knowledge cheers

closing thread cheers

No worries, I’ll get FM 23 tomorrow, so in the next couple of days i’ll stop playing the 22. Thanks anyway for the availability 😉

Oh sorry dude excuse me, will like the opening post, cheers.

Thank you for the feedback it is appreciated

you have not liked the opening post thats going back to June

Hello, cannot see future loan transfer in FMRTE, seems only visible are future transfers. Is this the way FMRTE works, is there no way to edit an agreed loan transfer ? Thanks However in FMRTE, after saving it does not appear under transfer tab Issue has been resolved.

@Luso Wan read the opening post and post here do not start new threads on 'cheat codes' cheers

Great Work. FM23 needs a decent legends database and I think you might just have it! Kindly share the link.

Hi Read this and post all the info required

As said before its up to you its there as a pointer and it makes sense to use a player in in a role he is better suited to but its a question of how flexible/rigid you are with your tactics etc eg if I have a striker who is more suited to a poacher role, with low work rate, but my tactics are for pressing forwards I would be more likely to use him as a poacher and tweak my tactics, you dont need the % rating to tell you you can see it in their attributes

thats up to you or give your player attributes that suite being a pressing forward a boost-set best role to pressing forward also set club match prep to max on all categories

Thanks for your reply. I hope it will be added in the future.

Allow users to import a staff shortlist they saved on their fm savegame.

I will be releasing a shortlist to use in game that is the Golden Boy 2023 Top 100 Bellingham and Musiala are joined on the shortlist by Alejandro Garnacho, Gavi, Xavi Simons and a number of European football's other top young talents; Gavi won the 2022 award. NB only players currently in the latest FM23 DB can be added😉 Full list click to expand the quote below👇 The file needs to be placed in your shortlists folder, you do not need to start a new save to use the shortlist C:\Users\your username\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\shortlists NB Not all the players may show in your save this is because of how you set the game up[DB size eg small/large, I am using a large custom set up with 170k players loaded] Just like this post to be added to the download link

Being worked on - bug in editor not selecting exact dates after first season finished

The game is selecting only 05/06/23- this can happen it has before in other versions of the game with the game refusing to pick any date other than the first Monday in June the following year from the normal start date. I am trying to fix this but there is no guarantee I can, in the meantime use the 'extra custom start file' it has a start date of 10/06/23[it has the option to start up to 10 years ahead] I will update later when I get a chance.

Build 25 now released This is a file to start a new save game on the 12/06/23 to use with the FM23.4.0 DB. Download here directly-[removed link- bug issue game selecting only 05/06/23-see below for details] like/thank this post as you download the direct download to show support and for continued updates😉 If you want the older builds and extra content like this post above

Real fixtures and tv dates (if i have correct information) and results. All FIXTURES COMPATIBLE WITH 23.2 UPDATE. I have copied all fixtures into new files so any RULE CHANGES made in the 23.2 update work eg var in Scottish Prem. I have once again altered the CARABAO CUP to match this season one match on a thurs per round i have also split the 4th round up instead of all games been played on a Tue. All files have been tested over a full season and work as intended. In real results there maybe the odd random result because of any games postponed in real life i keep to the original date to prevent fixture congestion and to keep it real for anyone starting a full season. I cant do anything about games sometimes been switched because of European or Domestic cup games. Instructions extract the zip place files - documents - sports interactive -football manager 2023 -editor data Fixtures are for the following leagues[WIP] England prem to conference north/south Bundesliga 1+2+3 La Liga 1+2 Serie A + B Juventus points reduction removed Scottish Premier League to League 2 Croatia 1st Division Portugal 1+2 Slovenia 1st Division Netherlands 1st Division Austria 1st Division Belgium 1st Division Poland 1st Division Denmark 1st Division Turkey[issues with rule changes so unable to add at this stage] France[issues with rule changes so unable to add at this stage] current results are up to and including 4/6/23 Final Update I will update all fixtures and results when league season is over NOTE : Results can not be done for cups, playoffs or league splits and please no posts asking when an update will be released thanks. How to get files to work in game read here [where do I place files/mods I have downloaded] Download culturedleftfoot's custom start date here league fixtures.zip

there is what dont you understand to do it clearly says this-

Build 18 is now added😉 This is a file to start a new save game on the 24/04/23 to use with the FM23.4.0 DB I am closing the thread at this stage to comments, due to some users just constantly tagging me without any need when the advice is simple to follow, and asking questions already covered in the opening post/recommended posts, they clearly are not reading them.

you have been added to the link look at your notifications 😉

Change Squad size International Competitions This is very straightforward😉 Once you have opened the competition/s in advanced rules you need to select Players tab Then in the Max squad size enter the squad size between 16 and 99- think comps like the World Cup are using squads of 26 but you can check with the official sites if you want it to reflect real life. You can also select a preliminary squad and determine the days before a squad is named/meet up and if the players' club get any compensation whilst they are away with the International squad. You can also sate how many medals are allocated etc etc

Would be great if you could add a staff shortlist where you'd be able to import them to and from FM to FMRTE and vice versa. make it much easier to see which staff are interested in joining who you've already looked at in FMRTE

Hi you need to start a new save

Just imagine some future regens coming through into the DB- these are just examples Belguim Bernard Voorhoof Eric Gerets Vincenzo Scifo Jan Ceulemans Paul Van Himst Argentina Mario Kempes Diego Maradona Gabriel Batistuta Omar Sívori Brazil Arthur Antunes Coimbra Zico Brasileiro Sampaio Sócrates Jair Ventura Jairzinho Marcos Evangelista de Morais Cafu Carlos Alberto Edson Arantes do Nascimento Pelé Roberto Rivelino Waldyr Pereira Didi Manuel Francisco dos Santos Garrincha Josè Altafini Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima Romario de Souza Faria England Kevin Keegan Robert Charlton Bryan Robson Stanley Matthews Steve Bloomer Duncan Edwards Gordon Banks Bobby Moore Jimmy Greaves Wales Ian Rush Kevin Radcliffe Alan Durban Mike England Alan Curtis John Charles Billy Meredith Neville Southall Scotland Jimmy Johnstone Fergus Suter Jim Baxter Billy McNeill Jimmy Love Denis Law Charlie Nicholas Willie Miller David Mackay Kenny liam Dalglish Gordon McQueen Martin McLean Buchan Alan Hansen I have the regens at the club they started at as a youth player[ if they still exist] and the favourite club based on where they played most games There are 113 ex legends of the game added plus I have added Ethan Mbappé as a test as he is missing in the default DB - he does join PSG U18 in 2023 using this file

Can you add this for the other UK nations as well please?

Do we delete the "brexit" file from the data / database / db / 2023 / dbc folder beforehand? Do we leave as is, just add to "editor data"?
