FM22 "Increase-Realism"-Megapack MARCH-Update BETA (18.02.22)

Update 24.02.22:
Hi everyone!
SI's update came out a bit earlier as I thought. Anyway I've made a quick-check if everything works. It's impossible to check every little detail of course^^ It looks good! The files are also the final one's for march, with some changes since BETA so it's already Early-Access. I'm now running another longterm-test, just in case. :)

Hi, everyone!

Exactly 1 month after the February ALPHA, the March BETA is ready!

As already announced in my February video on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3IMOZJtLqA), I did my best to balance the age distribution better.
I left no stone unturned and from my point of view the result is impressive! It's a very complicated topic which takes a lot of time to balance it out.  
A long-term test with a small database has already been tested. The big test is already in 2025. However, I can already recommend the files for longer games.

!IMPORTANT!
I've uploaded a save-game containing 1 of 2 suprizes planned by DaveTheEditor and me for his Arround the Globe Update. I won't tell what it is, but I guess most of you know how to find it out;) PLEASE DON'T SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH ANYBODY UNTIL THOSE FILES ARE PUBLIC.
Dave agreed to share the save-game under one condition: everyone must shut up :P (his words)
For ALPHA-Users:
There have been a lot of further improvements made. Talking about improvements means not bugs in the ALPHA, so if you enjoy a existing save-game, keep enjoying it;)

All the following files relate to the overall player development-topic:

Daveincid's WORLDWIDE AWARD FIXES

This file has been completely revised again and, above all, the reputation gain for youth awards has been massively increased.
These changes are the key changes to make the game more balanced. I've also created countless new awards to further support this. In reality, there are not many awards in this form (not even in the base game). Especially in smaller nations or at youth tournaments, an award is not given every time in real life. However, they still receive a lot of media attention, which leads to a higher reputation. In the game, this is represented by the awards. It was therefore essential for me to create awards for, for example, the German A-Bundesliga, the highest youth leagues in Spain, Italy, England etc. in order to increase their reputation.

Daveincid's ALTERNATIVE YOUTH RATING + GAME IMPORTANCE AND OTHERS

Youth Rating is again bumped by 5% for each Nation. Now it's on the upper limit but IMO this is better as on the lower end. It's still tough to balance it out perfectly but I'm slowly close to reach it:P

Daveincid's MANAGERS YOUTH TRAINING +2

This file increases all managers' "Youth Training" attribute by 2. It's a new approach to encourage managers to bet more on young players. Whether it fulfills this function is not clear with the mass of changes. It doesn't do any harm and if it only has a positive influence of 1%, then I'm happy;)

Daveincid's PLAYER ATTRIBUTE ADJUSTMENTS + INJURIES

I racked my brains for a long time about this file, whether I should create it or not. It works great, but not everyone will enjoy it (Especially the romantics who want that their beloved player rocks the league until he's 40;))
I finally decided to do it because I got good arguments from some fm-researchers too:

1. Older players' physical stats are in some cases not adjusted every year

2. The current ability (CA) of older players is in some cases not adjusted every year

3. Neither is the ability to injure. But players are more prone to injury as they get older

My adjustments:

All players in the database have reduced the following attributes by 1-2:

- natural fitness

Older players:

- natural fitness -2
- Vulnerability to injury + 2

The overall impact is marginal, Mohammed Salah still winning the Balon d'Or in a test at the age of 37. However, it has a positive effect on the whole database (from my point of view) and this is all I care about:)

Daveincid's YOUTH FACILITIES + TRAINING IMPROVEMENTS

In the February update I have already improved the youth facilities, resulting in a higher CA on newgens that have just been released. To speed up their development slightly, especially outside of the top nations.

I plan to put all of these changes into a single file, but that won't happen until the Early Access release.

So much for the whole player development issue. Now for the other changes/improvements/new features:


Daveincid's SALARIES MARKET VALUES AND SPONSORS

The sponsors have all been redesigned to make the ascent easier and hopefully more realistic. It is still difficult to create the desired dynamic here. However, it works very well.

Daveincid's GEOGRAPHICS AND LANGUAGES

This file has been massively expanded:

- So many new languages

have been created

- The top 100 nations were all checked and adjusted if necessary (language regions, languages

in general, special language in individual cities)

- Added tons of city data

The german version is now also available.

Daveincid's CLUB MORALE ADJUSTMENTS

This file should better represent the current state of mind in the clubs.
Most clubs were very good edited, but some were too good and some too bad. Above all, media reports and the current table in the largest Nations were included. As the new Manchester United manager, your first dressing room speech will probably be rather sobering :P
I hope that this will make the league table more realistic, especially in the first year

Daveincid's MANAGER DISLIKED CLUBS
This file was made due a complaint of a user that Jürgen Klopp "always" signs for ManC after Liverpool. This won't happen anymore;) I do see a lot of potential in further improve this file once SI made their final update and I know with what I can work with the next half year :D


This is it for the new stuff. The following existing files have also been improved:
- Daveincid's CLUB DATA FIXES
- Daveincid's CLUB FINANCES FIXES
- Daveincid's TAXES FIX (missing  "GEWERBESTEUER" in Germany added)
- Daveincid's TICKET PRICE ADJUSTMENTS


I think that's problably it (It's getting tougher with each update to keep the overview xD)

Thank you to all of you for your amazing support!<3

Cheers

David
