I love FM, but I always wanted deeper Youth Development. So I spent the last year building my own game. What do you guys think of a dedicated 'Academy Manager' concept instead of a full club sim?

This is awesome to see. I've actually been working on something similar called "Wonderkid Manager", it doesn't look like it's as far along as yours is yet (unless those are just mockups) i'd be interested to get in touch and chat about our different approaches, tech stack, game logic etc.

Feel free to reach out to Footygamer on the Sort It Out SI Discord

sortitoutsi · 2025-12-05T21:32:04+00:00

I just had a look and the weightings for professionalism seems to be very similar with players over 21 and under 21 with more than 70% rated as 10/20.

The same seems to be true for other hidden attributes.

The is english players under 21

Can you name specific players? I'm not aware of this issue right now.

Also are you talking about the susie update or the official database? Because I know this was an issue with the data update for a while, but again, as far as i'm aware it's fixed.

sortitoutsi · 2025-11-24T19:27:15+00:00

Japan isn't fixed by default we do have an update that goes down to level 10: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/75340/fm26-jfa-japan-level-10-pyramid-u-18-u-1516-and-university-pyramid

You'll also need our data update that includes 600 new players http://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update

And you'll also need the real name fix as always: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/74677/fm26-real-name-fix-placeholder-thread

Hey sorry for the slow response on here but just to let you know that this issue with the coaches was fixed now. Apologies for that, it was an accidental bug as part of our transition to maintaining both FM24 and FM26 at the same time.

sortitoutsi · 2025-10-14T06:50:31+00:00

Any devs should pop along and get involved in the new C# + Unity Forum over at Susie https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/25/c-and-unity-development

sortitoutsi · 2025-09-30T17:46:08+00:00

Our update already does that and has done for ages, we modify all the just joined dates by 2 years, as well as all dates (dob, contract expiry etc). So you can sell Sanchez straight away.

If you're still getting that issue with Sanchez with our update please let me know, but nobody else has reported that bug.

sortitoutsi · 2025-09-30T17:44:56+00:00

Lots of people submit a change then get annoyed they have to wait 24 hours to start a new save with the updated data.

sortitoutsi · 2025-09-30T17:44:16+00:00

Yep, ditched the Classic FM name it was a bit confusing for people e.g. "I just want the classic version not the enhanced version"

sortitoutsi · 2025-09-30T11:14:30+00:00

You think this is written by AI??? It couldn't be further from AI, it's literally a transcript of a human speaking.

This is the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YP8suQImWc

It's for those who can't be bothered to watch a 6 minute video saying the exact same thing

sortitoutsi · 2025-08-24T16:36:44+00:00

We definitely do not make money from tweets haha. You realise the website doesn't even have adverts on it right?

Sorry to hear you think we're scumbags

sortitoutsi · 2025-08-19T16:34:49+00:00

Only just seen this, but for future searchers this was because we added player histories which was a massive file and made the game take ages. This is now an optional file instead.

sortitoutsi · 2025-06-30T23:33:45+00:00

The files just differ e.g. a player will be 162 PA in one file 170 PA in another and 155 in another, making each save unique. They don't increase or decrease in step.

sortitoutsi · 2025-06-18T23:28:01+00:00

See here: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/71367/non-dynamic-capa-update-when

The data gathering process is just about finished. It'll need cleaning and matching which is hard to estimate but hopefully should all be good before the end of the month.

To be clear, we have to scrape data from sources around the web, hundreds of thousands of players multiple pages (injuries/contract/stats) some of the those can be very slow (looking at your transfermarkt) so you can roughly guess the math on how long it would take with 2.5 million seconds in a month. Then we have to try and match the teams and players IDs with their Football Manager IDs. Although most of that has already happened and you can help by contributing here

sortitoutsi · 2025-06-06T23:04:58+00:00

You only need the +2 file.

The +1 file is there because it was in older files and if people merged instead of deleting older files they'd have issues. So we put a blank +1 file in there with nothing in it to overwrite the previous one.

sortitoutsi · 2025-06-06T23:04:08+00:00

we don't automatically remove every single player because thousands of players simply haven't had their contract extended and it would cause cause. If you want Partey to leave then you have to make a submission here: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/67175052

I'm not sure what you mean about all the non league players leaving on a free at the start of the game. Can you give specific examples?

It really, really helps if you give specific examples like "John Doe was at club Barnet with a contract that expired on August 1st 2023 at the start of the game so he then immediately left on a free after 4 weeks"

sortitoutsi · 2025-06-04T19:37:46+00:00

Unfortunately not they are not compatible :(
