Other Features & Changes to Playable Nations

To make the playing experience as realistic as possible, all nations have been created using the advanced editor. The following changes have been made to improve the realism:

• Squad registration rules (foreigner rules, age restrictions).
• Realistic league formats, for example Apertura/Clausura and whatever else the football associations have come up with.
• Realistic TV money*
• Realistic prize money**
• VAR (Video Assistant Referee) added
• New clubs – if the researchers have messed up again
• TV broadcasts added
• Added academy leagues in countries where it is necessary (mainly Africa and Asia)

* Real values if sources were available. calculated values according to a Nations’s average expenditure (Wages etc.) to ensure, these Clubs are represented financially as realistic as possible.

** Real values if sources were available. calculated similarly to TV-Money to ensure balance.

All these changes are crucial to guarantee an overall balance in your save game. You can learn more about how to improve the realism in Football Manager by setting up a balanced save game with Daveincid’s tips provided here.

The result is a world league megapack that guarantees the most realistic experience in Football Manager ever!

Small Hotfix: 1.01 – (01 December 2022)

• North Macedonia: The FM had problems to recognise the foreigner regulation in D2 and D3, now everything is correct. Also, the referee category has been removed.
• Gibraltar: The deposited Brexit rules have destroyed Gibraltar, these have now been correctly changed.
