[Suggestion] Being able to play older games saves in a new version

I know this probably won´t happen. With which new game things change a lot. But consider that you could play a save from an old game in a new one. I'm more of a long term player, I'm playing FM20 (which was my first FM) and imagining being able to continue my save (which I'm not thinking of wrapping up that soon) in a new iteration is just amazing.

The problems that come with this is: New information having to be created out of nowhere (Example, when we have women football, all of the history for it would have to be new; Highlights are from older match engines; your manager looks are also a problem since the 3D models change every year). For those problems i can only see: making the womens history up as the game does for newly activated leagues; highlights arent available for games played before the convertion, you make new looks. The problems surely run way deeper than that, but I know nothing about programing and game development. I dont have much ideas to make this work, but anyway I wanted to present this idea to SI.

Sorry for any mistake that I've commited along the post.

It's not something we can do in the short term but if in future we can find a way to bring everyone up to the latest version we absolutely will, we know how sought after this feature is. :)

I'd love this as I want to continue my Albion Rovers FM 21 save but i'm going to stop playing it as FM22 is out in a few weeks
