How many of those young players were signed from other clubs and how many have been developed through your own youth intake? Without giving too much away you essentially need to focus on both signing young players from other clubs and also promoting young players through the Development Hub to unlock Nurturer.

Hello. Apologies for the delay but as Marc stated there was a bank holiday and I had additional leave around that time too.

Got new phone, went to import, found the files, hit import, seemed like it was doing it but nothing appeared. Now says there's no exported filed to import (as above) preventing me from doing again despite the files still being in the folder I shared from my old phone.

I managed to do this by accidentally selecting the wrong folder when setting up the import location. This step in the SEGA guide is really important:

• Find the folder the level above the ‘Football Manager 2024 Mobile’ folder you have placed the career folder inside

For example, if your exported save is located at "Documents/Football Manager 2024 Mobile/export_MyCareer"  Then your import location should be "Documents/" and the game will then search that folder for the correct 'Football Manager 2024 Mobile' folder. In order to reselect your import location you would have to do a fresh install of the game unfortunately. This is something I'll raise with the team as I think we should improve the user experience for the next version.

Can you try selecting the import folder again and verifying if that fixes the problem or not?

Can you tell me which OS version you're running on and what type of device you have please? I'll try and get as close a match as possible and see if I can replicate what you're seeing.

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is the one you're looking for. If that's enabled the import/export process should work for you.

If that doesn't work then please let me know and we'll try to get to the bottom of it!

If you were seeing the career in the import list but unable to import it that suggests to me that there's a potential issue with the game not having the required permissions to import the file.

Can you follow these steps to ensure the game has all of the required permissions? https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/9431959?hl=en-GB

Hello,

I was wondering if you could share screenshots of what you're seeing? Specifically in game at the import screen and another one of the files being greyed out?

[Inquiry about File Transfer and Save Game Location in Football Manager Mobile 2024]

We're aware of this issue but it is unrelated to the new format changes which are mainly metadata changes rather than changes to the actual file data itself.

[Inquiry about File Transfer and Save Game Location in Football Manager Mobile 2024]

Hello! There are a few issues raised here that warrant a bit of clarification so I'll do my best to answer some of these.

Firstly, I would like to inquire whether there is a way to transfer files containing Tactics, Filters, and other configurations from the previous edition of the game

Unfortunately not. As part of the rework to loading and saving for FMM24 we had to change the file format for all saved files. This will give us greater felixibility in the future and will also make it easier to maintain compatability should the format of these files change again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this will cause but we're optiomistic it will be short term pain for long term gain.

Lastly, I would like to know the location where the save game files are stored in Football Manager Mobile 2024.

This will depend on whether you're playing on Android or iOS. For iOS the changes are minimal. There is now a 'user' folder that contains these files and is essentially partitioned based on your Netflix user account. For Android things are quite a bit different. Saves are stored in the app's internal storage making them inaccessible. This is the reason behind adding the import/export functionality on Android. By using those features you can transfer files to and from the internal location from your device's external storage.

As users we used to have direct access to these files and now we don't, we can only access them through the export / import layer. Yes, we can still access them, but it is very clunky and not direct enough. 

This is an interesting point and something I'll raise with the wider team. Thanks for your feedback!
