Football Manager 2024 News

[h2]Football Manager 2024 - Steam, Epic & Microsoft [/h2]

We've just released a minor update for Football Manager 2024 on PC/Mac via Epic, Steam and Microsoft Store., which addresses some of the issues raised by the community since Early Access.

Within the first of our minor updates, we’ve made changes to various areas across the game.

Our database will now be further up to date with real world key events. We’ve also made changes to some attributes and kits from Turkey and France respectively.

Most of our fixes involve general gameplay issues that include changes to the frequency of AI loan offers, player unhappiness, as well as duplicated clauses within player contracts that were affecting club finances. Managers’ preferred style of play should now be more varied and accurate, and we have made changes to currency representation and youth league scheduling in certain territories.

Under the hood, there have been various stability fixes that look to address some higher profile technical issues raised on both our Community Forums and through SEGA support.

Stay tuned for update information on Football Manager 2024 Mobile, Football Manager 2024 Console and Football Manager 2024 Touch coming soon. Please keep an eye on our social channels for updates.

The update should download and install automatically. If it does not, we recommend following the instructions from our how-to install/update FAQ.

If you find any issues, please raise them via our Bug Tracker. If you experience any technical issues please check our FAQ for solutions or create a support ticket with our dedicated team.

*Licensing and Database changes require starting a new save game for them to be applied.

Whenever we release a new game, there are always many posts and curiosity on social media and our forums about player and club attributes. So, with the launch of Football Manager 2024, we wanted to give you a bit of an insight into the process of getting that data in the game.

Our Research team is scattered across the globe, with representatives across a vast number of countries compiling reports and submitting changes year-round on all facets of the game – including player upgrades, league and competitions data, and more. Not only does this bring the game to life, any updates to the data are eagerly awaited by many real-life clubs, who utilise it in their day-to-day scouting and analytical work.

To find out more, head over to The Byline.

Whether you opt to chase instant glory with one of the game’s elite or choose the longer route to the top by developing a club in the lower divisions, there’s no better feeling than starting your first save in a new edition of Football Manager.

Head over to The Byline to see where we would recommend you should start your managerial journey.

It’s time to go again, with Football Manager 2024 now live and available to play across all platforms*.
If you’ve been enjoying Early Access to FM24 (PC/Mac) on Steam or Epic Games, you can simply quit and restart the relevant launcher to update your game to the full release build. As a reminder, any career progress made during Early Access can be carried forward.

The most complete edition in the series to-date, FM24 is filled with new additions influenced by the ever-evolving world of football as well as expert insight from new and existing partnerships within the professional game.

FM24 Console has returned for another season of thrills and drama on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass, as well as on PS5 after a first season to remember.

The introduction of a new all-encompassing Dynamics system and enhancements to Training are among the changes that increase the drama and depth in every FM24 Console career.

Football Manager 2024 Touch is back on Apple Arcade after a stellar debut campaign. Fans who played FM23 Touch on the platform will notice that the store page has updated automatically, allowing to simply update for instant access.

The thrill of elite football management is also once again available for fans playing on Nintendo Switch with FM24 Touch.

The brand-new ability to transfer careers from Football Manager 2023, FM23 Console and FM23 Touch gives players around the world more ways to write their footballing story. The addition of the fully-licensed Meiji Yasuda Insurance Ltd J. League, meanwhile, unlocks Japan as a playable nation and offers up the challenge of 60 new and exciting clubs to lead to glory.

Two new games modes – Real World and Your World - also make their debut in FM24, FM24 Console and FM24 Touch. Real World mirrors when players actually transferred to your club in real life. Your World sets club squads and budgets at the day your career starts, meaning that only players who joined before that date will be in your squad and giving you the opportunity to rewrite your team’s transfer window.

Completing this season’s lineup is Football Manager 2024 Mobile. Exclusively available for Netflix members, FM24 Mobile is packed with new additions that set fans on the fast track to footballing glory. Learn more with our dedicated features blog.
