Has anybody here already finished first season playing in Bundesliga starting after the winter update? I ask because I just finished first season with Wolfsburg and my game crashed on June 18th 2024. Holidaying doesn't help as it crashes anyway. I don't use any custom leagues etc and I'm wondering if it's not a bug? I want to start another Bundesliga save but I'm worried if it will happen again...

Thanks, but I already reinstalled the game and deleted all the files, including my saves. Will get back to you if the issue comes back.

Has anybody encountered a crash on certain date after the update? Before the update I played 16 seasons without a single crash, now started a new save with Wolfsburg and my game always crashing on June 18th 2024. I don't use any customs leagues etc, only custom graphics. Going for holiday doesn't help as it crashes anyway

Nice thread, just started a Wolfsburg save myself so will definitely keep an eye on your progress here

I strongly believe so. If there was no ME changes within the yesterday's Main Winter update, there shouldn't be any in the last one which, I suppose, will be only a small data update.

I finished my 16th season with Brackley Town and we did it, finally! First Premier League title and also first Champions League title! What a great way to say goodbye to this save now that the Winter Update is out. Below some screenshots, including profiles of my very best players

Nice one, thanks!

Thank you!

I know, but last year there was an information about this when the winter update arrived as at the bottom it was written something like "another update covering transfers from China is coming in the next weeks". And the today's post doesn't mention anything like that, hence I'm wondering if this is the very last update or not. SI please clarify.

Could somebody from SI confirm this is the very final update for FM 24 or there will be any more once other transfer windows are closed?

I guess early next week.

It would be nice to have a roadmap of future updates so we know what to expect, similarly to what we got in December.

I don't think there is an option to change it to be honest, but if there was one I'd more than happy! I've played some saves with multiple managers too but due to various reasons, inducing the above issue, I stopped. I would love SI to somehow improve this aspect of the game and make it easier to play this way, but I guess that's never going to happen as it's not very common style of play. Out of curiosity - how many teams are you playing and how far in the save you are?

FM 24 is the best, but the most enjoyable for me was FM 14.

Hi, Are we going to get the information about upcoming updates just like we got in December? I would really like to know if there's going to be just one Winter update or some more.

Do you know how does FM 24 behave when playing multiple managers? Are there similar minor issues as with previous versions, like screen stucks before a match, etc? or everything works perfectly?

The fix yes, no problem. Custom db/leagues - didn't try it as I never use them, but I'm pretty sure it is possible to install them too.

I keep playing my Brackley save where I'm already at the beginning of the 12th season. It's actually the first time ever when I'm that far in any of my FM saves and I must say it's definitely worth it! Season 9 - Championship The kickoff of our debut season in Championship couldn't go any better as it was linked with the opening of our brand new Brackley Stadium. We performed well, beating Middlesbrough 1-0 after the goal scored by our vice-captain - the legendary Romeo Beckham who's been with us since Vanarama North times, so from the very beginning! I signed him for free in the summer 2024 and he's been crucial for our success. I definitely owe him a debut in Premier League with me, one day... or wait, it will happen next year as we actually won the Championship already this year! Finished with 93 points after another fantastic season. I guess the misfortune that was hounding us when we lost three playoffs in a row now turned into blessing as we managed to win three straight promotions. Wow! Coming back to our squad, besides Beckham I also have Jobe Bellingham, who's been a good addition but keeps getting injured quiet often. Our best player is Reiss Denny though, a real monster as advanced playmaker! Season 10 and 11 - Premier League Before the start of our Premier League dream I had to make sure our squad was strong enough to keep up with other teams. It wasn't easy as our reputation was still very low and even though the board finally gave me some transfer budget to spend I couldn't really convince many good players to join us. Eventually I signed some young talented guys plus a couple of more experiences ones, including 34 yo Dwight McNeill. He did well and his 10 league assists really helped us to avoid the relegation as we finished 16th. It wasn't easy though as we were fighting until the very last game before we secured staying in the league for the next season. We won only 7 games and collected 33 points, only three more than the 18th team. The next season wasn't much different, just as last year we struggled a lot but eventually we finished again at 16th place. This time we scored 34 points and won 8 games, so yeah, there is progress.

My next idea for a journeyman save is to start in the lowest playable league in Sweden (I think the original database is up to 4th tier?), so can somebody recommend any nice clubs to start with?

I finished my 8th season with Brackley and we are not slowing down - we have won Sky Bet League 1 with ten points more than second team and promotion secured with 6 games in hand. Championship here we go! I think the real challenge starts now, we will be facing much stronger teams with way better financial situation as our overall balance is on minus and the wage budget is only 435k which, compared to other clubs, is just funny. Avoiding relegation is going to be hard but crucial.

Yes, it is running smooth and I highly recommend purchasing it. However, I'm still in my first season as I use it only on the go, while I'm at home I still prefer my laptop.

Nice introduction, I definitely think about starting a Como save at some point too, will follow this.

Fifth, sixth and seventh seasons with Brackley done. I love this save! Season 5 In the fifth season we were fighting for the promotion again and it was going well as we were around playoff places for most of the time. However, closer to the season's end our form became much poorer, so I decided to change my tactic from Vertical Tiki Taka to Gegenpres. It really worked as we started to perform much better, won many games and even had a chance to still finish first! Eventually, we didn't make it and we had to wish for luck in the playoffs again... And again, we lost... This time we started from the semi final where we were beaten straight away, losing to Newport 2-3 (the crucial goal conceded in the stoppage time). At this point my frustration was huge, but how different can one feel after losing the third playoffs in a row... Season 6 I'm not going to lie, I was thinking about resigning for a moment. But then I decided to give it the last try. The plan for this season was to start strong, jump at the top of the table and simply win the league without the need to play in playoffs again, as I didn't really believe we could succeed there. I was hoping that my new Gegenpres tactic would smash other teams as it was really effective at the end of the previous campaign. Well, I couldn't be more wrong as our form at the beginning of the season was terrible and after 10 games we were stuck at 18th place... I was pretty sure this would be another year without the success, but I still tried to get back on the winning path. I realised that our team lacks good headers, in both defence and attack. I managed to sign for free two players - an experienced centre back with heading 16, and a 24 yo striker with jumping reach 19. Plus, I came back to the original Vertical Tiki Taka tactic that brought us promotion to the National League earlier. I must say it was a perfect change as we started winning games and moving towards the top of the table. Luckily for us, the leading teams' form was inconsistent and we had a chance to catch them up. It took some time, but after 36 games we finally landed at the first place. Nevertheless, the situation wasn't clear until the very last game when we needed a win to finish first and gain automatic promotion. It wasn't an easy game and we conceded a goal early, but thanks to an amazing comeback we did it... Yeah! It took us 4 years and 3 lost playoffs in a row, but finally we are promoted to the EFL! Another great information was that the board decided to build a new stadium. Season 7 The first year in Sky Bet League 2 was supposed to be all about avoiding relegation. I was worried we would struggle heavily, but the first couple of games proved that I was wrong. We had some fantastic performances, including 5-1 vs Burton Albion. Thanks to this, we occupied a place in the top three and pretty fast we guaranteed ourselves a stay in the league for the next season. At least that is what I thought at the time - we were safe. Fortunately, our great form didn't stop. The miracle was confirmed after 40 games - we secured a promotion to the League 1! What is more, on the last day we even confirmed the first place. Who would've thought?

End of season four. We finished second in the league losing just 4 points to the winners Chesterfield. In the playoff's semifinal we made a revenge to Rochdale for the last year's defeat, beating them 3-2. Thanks to this, we were just one game away from being promoted to the EFL. In the final we faced Barnet. We were leading 1-0, then 2-1 in the extra time, but they always managed to even the score. It was all decided only in penalties. We scored 4 out of 5, but they were perfect... which means we lost our third playoffs within 4 seasons After all, I must say this was still a good season. We had a great run in the FA Cup where we were eliminated only in the 5th round by Brighton, beating Premier League Bristol City a round before. We made some good money there and our bank balance finally exceeds 1mln. Does it change anything? Yes, because the board has just confirmed the club turns to professional! My personal reputation grows as well as I received multiple offers from other clubs - Notts County, Lincoln (both playing in League 1), and even from a Premier League side Bristol City (I guess they were impressed by me when I beat them in the FA Cup a few weeks earlier). I decided to reject all the offers as my job at Brackley is not done yet.
