"INCREASE REALISM"-MEGAPACK DECEMBER UPDATE

• CLUB FINANCES FIX
• GEOGRAPHICS & LANGUAGES
• REALISTIC INJURIES
• SALARIES MARKET VALUES & SPONSORS
• STAFF ATTRIBUTE ADJUSTMENTS
• TRANSFER PREFERENCES

ALTERNATIVE YOUTH RATING + GAME IMPORTANCE & OTHERS
This file changes the "youth ratings", the "game importance" and the "development status" of many countries. The main purpose of the changes is to make both the quantity and the potential maximum quality in long-term saves more realistic. However, this file is not solely responsible for the quality of players. Other files that influence this will follow in the January update.
BRIEFLY SUMMARISED
• The global distribution of talent has been slightly increased
• The development potential was calculated individually for each nation based on more than 15 different criteria. For example, the HDI (Human Development Index), national and international audience average, population size, financial resources and much more!
CLUB DATA FIX
This file completes various missing data of over 1500 clubs of the 1st and 2nd division in over 150 nations:
• Nicknames of clubs
• missing city coordinates
• 89 new stadiums
• missing club rivalries
• missing club foundation dates
• club colours
CLUB FINANCES FIX
The focus for the first December update was on Germany:
• All clubs of the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga had a much too low account balance, because from my point of view the TV money, which was paid out at the end of the 22/23 season, was not included. This has now been corrected
• The overstated debts of Schalke 04 have been adjusted.
GEOGRAPHICS & LANGUAGES (+German Version)
Geographical data:
The whole world is now covered with real data. From the population of a small village in Ghana to the correct altitude of small villages in the mountain peaks of Peru:
• 5500+ edited cities
• 1800+ local regions edited
• Missing coordinates of over 1800+ cities
• Missing elevation data of over 4200 cities
• All cities now hava a „attraction“ value added
These changes may have an impact on:
• The distribution of newgen birthplaces
• Travelling costs
• Sponsorship deals
• Contract negotiations
• Fitness/Injury frequency of players
Languages:
• 100+ new languages created
• The difficulty level of all languages has been increased by 30% to prevent players from learning the language too quickly
• 181 Nations have been edited
• 1800+ local regions
• Many individual cities edited
With those changes, the linguistic diversity of all nations is represented in much greater detail. In addition to the official languages of a nation, the unofficial languages are now also taken into account. These are intended to represent those people who speak a second or even third language without having the nationality of that nation.
German version:
The German version is located in an extra folder "German Version". If you play the game in German, delete the English version
REALISTIC INJURIES (+German Version)
This file increases the probability of injury by approx. 20% and further increases the number of injuries caused by sprints. The injury probability in the base game is traditionally always about 20% lower than in reality.
The advantages of this file:
• Better squad rotation (as there are more injuries)
• Young players reach their potential less often (important for the overall balance)
• Intensive counter-press tactics are less effective (as significantly more muscle injuries will occur due to sprinting ;) )
German version:
The German version can be found in an extra folder "German Version". If you play the game in German, delete the English version and replace it with this one.
SALARIES MARKET VALUES & SPONSORS
This file changes the financial behaviour in all nations in the 3 main areas "salaries", "market values" and "sponsorship income". For the December update, the focus was on all leagues/nations that are already available in the base game.
Salaries:
Salaries are based much more on real existing data. A player from Cameroon no longer earns €500k per year, but perhaps €30k.
Market values:
Market values have been adjusted globally so that the actual transfer fees paid (!not the market values shown!) in nation XY are more realistically represented. The market values in some larger nations have been lowered (e.g. England). The reason for this is that otherwise, talented players in particular won’t get transferred often, as the club demands are far too high.
Sponsors:
The sponsor values have been adjusted worldwide (and already tested for all default nations) to better balance the finances of the clubs. In addition, I have calculated individual maximum values for each nation. This should improve realism, especially in smaller nations, and thus make "Build a Nation" saves more realistic.
STAFF ATTRIBUTE ADJUSTMENTS
This file is intended to improve the behaviour of AI managers in the following areas:
• Squad rotation
• Loan out big talents
• Increased usage of young players in low priority cup matches
• Earlier tactical changes
TRANSFER PREFERENCES
I have researched all nations on transfermarkt.com that have a preference for players with a certain nationality and adjusted them accordingly. Over 200 nations have been edited! Not only the nationalities have been adjusted, but also the age preferences. There are certain nations that clearly stand out as "development leagues" based on various data. (Very high proportion of players under the age of 24). For example Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Croatia or even obscure nations such as Kyrgyzstan.
WEATHER CHANGES
I have integrated climate change into the game. In concrete terms, this means that there is a small probability (approx. 5%) that temperatures in all regions of the world will be higher than those entered by default. In London, for example, temperatures of up to 42 degrees can be reached in rare cases. Previously, the maximum was 32 degrees. This can have an impact on the fitness of the players. It is therefore definitely worth taking a closer look at the weather forecast for the next match.
PLANS FOR THE JANUAR UPDATE?
