Football Manager 24 Data Update Not Happening - Team Continues to Focus on FM 25

Following the announcement of the delay to Football Manager 25, many fans have called for an official FM24 update with the 2024/25 season data. This possibility has been explored since the initial internal discussions about postponing the game’s release. After assessing the work required and despite positive initial responses from several licensors, it has been determined that the assets used in FM25 cannot simply be transferred to FM24 without being fully recreated.

This challenge applies to competition rules, translations and database changes, which cannot be backported. Additionally, updated assets and data must be combined to obtain licensor approval—they cannot be separated. This would require substantial resources, potentially impacting the delivery of FM25 at the highest quality, which remains a priority.
