the original poster did not update thread to say it didnt work, so can assume it did as its been over 6 months cheers

Hi not possible, it has been asked for in the suggestions forum

@Milan George use either September or October files to start in September

closing thread no further update until FM25 editor is released and IF it is still possible to do this as we do not know what changes SI has made to the game/editor.

Wanting to start game in 24/25 season read this below [NB There is no way of creating fixtures/result files for 24/25 season until the FM25 Pre-Game Editor comes out,and even then it may not be possible due to the unknown changes SI have made to the game/editor.] @HC16_ Option 1 There have been a few posts from users recently who seem a bit confused regards the real results and playing 24/25 season To clarify the results for all leagues covered are correct to the end of 23/24 season[they are not for the 24/25 season] but it is not possible to cover play off results see this quote from SI stating real fixtures are only meant to work with the first stage of league fixtures and that is it. this is already stated in FAQ recommended post attached to this thread- Due to the above you cannot add results for any cup competition domestic/continental including play off games. NB-continental fixtures will be simmed by the game[ so this will effect teams playing in the following season's continental comps due to coefficents there is nothing can be done about this[so things like winners of FA cups/League Cups/European Cups]. So if you use the real results files for the 23/24 season you would have to start the game with the option to 'manipulate the play offs' using FMRTE - sometime in May 2024 How to do this is by 'destroying' teams in pay offs saving the game perhaps multiple times to get the right promoted team/s winning the play off final. Otherwise you may get Norwich/West Brom/Leeds being promoted instead of Southampton @Miguel Rego Also if you use a data update to cover transfers etc eg - https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update A few users seem to suggest that using a custom start date+real results changes the contracts of players in the update, they are wrong FMRTE start date/real results is not changing anything like this it is working correctly the issue is with the other file/s the data update is set to this[check it in the editor] the loans/transfers are set to start in 2023 not 2024 So a fix would be setting up a preset in FMRTE to extend the loan contracts to end by one year later So to edit loans you would need to start a save in May before they end @rodski 👆 If users find a data update with the transfers happening on the real dates eg Mbape to Madrid in 2024 please PM me details. Option 2 You use a Mod to get all the promoted teams for the 24/25 season[you cannot use this with real results file/s with this set up and there would be no point in doing so ] eg-https://fminside.net/fmi-update/football-manager-2024/743-the-fm-update-24-25-season--august https://sortitoutsi.net/content/65384/fm24-league-updates you will have the right teams in the right leagues for the 24/25 season,with the right history but you have to start in 2023 so in game you are pretending the 23/24 season is in fact the 24/25 season!! So you need to start the game in june/july 2023 to play the 'pretend' 24/25 season[so you do not need a custom start date for this] Also loans would be ending in May/June 2024 so that is not ideal, and you cant get all the teams qualified for continental comps correct. The limitations are many - These are your options, the issue is clear the pre game editor is very limited for things like this and I take my hat off to those who provide Mods to try and fix this, and I have done so myself it takes months to complete by then the new version of the game is nearly out. but it is a huge task and IMO pointless as you are not playing the 24/25 season in 2024 or 2025 but in 2023 instead NB To be clear You cannot use real results/custom start date files with Mods like those shown above, namely having the correct teams for the 24/25 season as you would be trying to do 2 different things that are impossible. Also real fixtures/results for the 24/25 season cannot be addressed until the FM25 editor is released...and with many changes being made by SI it may not be possible to do this any longer. If you see a Mod claiming to have the real fixtures/results for the 24/25 season ...they dont it will be dates in 23/24 NB you can use FMRTE to change the fixtures in a playable league/s but that would take you many hours to do,but it is possible to. You would then eventually have the correct fixtures for the 24/25 season I have not tried this though and it would have to be beta tested to see if adding the actual real results in has any effect on the game.If users want to try it be prepared for it take several hours to set up. @ben8940 @mvorny4 @Shi Lin Lau @garmac @Timety @lbmuis @Obiru3 @atlannity @Joe Butler @celtics95 @bebs34 @Teun Bartels @adrozdowski @AJ TT @rodski

[FAQs]If you have questions or any matters to disuss post in this thread do not PM staff and this thread concerns the real results file/s only. NB-The results files are for the 2023/24 season only [read any other recommended posts for this thread] But if you are having an issue- [1.]Read this install guide [2.]Provide exact details of the game version[24.3/24.0] you are using and if its PC/MAC etc [3.]What Game Mode are you using[you need to select the original mode] [4.]Show a full screenshot of your editor data folder you may need to take a couple of images if using multiple files [5.]Provide the link to the file you have downloaded where there is an issue/or if there is an issue downloading a file. [6]What build custom start date did you use to start a new game, state the game date you are starting the save at. If you have an activated license but you cant download a real result file/s-contact support via your client area. Read here NB- Delete/remove any older builds of a file from your editor data folder, only have the one version you want to use in game. @balesleftpeg2 @Jakka @Casparian93 @AugustusCE @Colin Deiner @Darnell Redhead @Pol Garcia Martín👆 @fatih277 @wai61 @Lourenço Camacho @Milan George @atlannity @Joe Butler Please note this is not my job I will reply when I can, other users can assist if they know the answer Do not PM questions or requests, this has been a major undertaking the biggest ever fixtures/results files produced on any FM version. At this stage I will not be adding any extra leagues/nations as I do not have the time. Also I am getting PMs asking for me to personalize files I am sorry I have not got the time. nothing can be done about adding fixtures to leagues that have multiple stages., once the initial league stage has been completed.See below from SI- Regular FAQs [1.]The files need to be tested -I get a message saying the file needs to be tested to used in game- ALL files are tested- the issue is the user has probably downloaded a file/s from the wrong sub-category[ there are 2 see image below-subcategories] for use with the DB they are selecting in game. [2]Trying to start a new save game get a message saying there are the wrong number of teams in a league, or the results are wrong in game- This is nothing to do with the real results files, the user is using multiple editor files from various sources that is causing the issue/conflict you need to find the clash and remove that file/s it is down to you to resolve that. @Tarkiom @Birbeck7 @Tom Gurney @Daniel Martua @Joe Butler @AJ TT @Hollaz-949 [3.]Add cup results-A regular request is can results for cup competitions be added- you cannot add results for any cup competitions domestic/continental including play off games. NB-continental fixtures will be simmed so this will effect teams playing in the following season's comps due to coefficents there is nothing can be done about this. [4].Adding stats-Also you cannot add things like goal scorers/appearances/stats etc and even if you could you would need an army of 'volunteers' doing this on a full time basis @Luke Phelan👆 @Jason Lucas @Ahmmed c @Jack Fiore @Mateusz Wicher NB Both real world/your world game mode seem buggy in that edited files are not working correctly or not all. This is an issue SI have to fix. However I have found a workaround- @SquareSkire @Felix Flake @D2n5z @Kenneth Nielsen @Mata#8 @mrtonyalmeida @Vitesse Sofia @ruslanincha @DazS8 @Thobias
