They answered the pace/acc question on Discord, see the image I attached with the answer.

@Sanfierro also, please read these two in order to understand all the changes:
BLOG POST EXPLAINING THE CHANGES TO THE MATCH ENGINE, VERY INTERESTING: https://fmmatchlab.co.uk/the-history-of-our-mod-a-changelog-of-all-patches-and-versions/
And afterwards, you can read here with the additional changes to the AI file and the physics file from the latest version: https://fmmatchlab.co.uk/fm-match-lab-mods/

I'll start, please complete the list:
- Hire a Head of Youth Development (HoYD) with a good personality (e.g., Model Citizen).
- Ensure your HoYD's preferred formation matches yours.
- Prioritize HoYD attributes: Working with Youngsters & Judging Potential.
- Upgrade Youth Recruitment facilities first.
- Upgrade Junior Coaching facilities second.
- Upgrade Youth Facilities third.
- Sign affiliate clubs in high-talent nations (Brazil, Argentina).
- Use your manager nationality to influence intake (like adding second nationality Brazil, Argentina).
- Hire foreign youth staff to diversify intake.
- Poach players from other clubs' intakes on their intake day (offer them contract).
- Save scum the day before the "Youth Intake Preview" email (around December or January).

Great post @Piperita! How do you think when deciding the distribution of your training units? For example, if you'd run the meta v7, would you move all your players in the attacking unit, except the goalkeepers? (others could answer this)

Piperita said: I played around with the data a bit. [...] Expand

can someone post the latest version of the spreadsheet with the trainings that were tested? none of the links works

if anyone wants Match Lab v1.4 merged with Sound Pack v3 (instead of version 1.5), here's the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1usSjwkfoikFVVeVvBe5Ax0JH1iHOOXs2/view?usp=sharing

you can get the other file simatchviewer-pc.fmf (v3) from here https://mega.nz/file/GDgVSbLL#f2MbeRBuJFohzwhoMXPdq-_8WhHRO66CgY-a4qJiFRo

other stuff
if using Genie Scout with the above setup, then:
- @Orion's ratings file: Orion_coeff_FM_Tweak.grf from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rtpoT6LU8gtoxkZO7fVEXtlVYlB1ix8Y
- layout for Genie Scout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KPFZBn-I2TQphmFqeChH_00hKB0uYxG7/view?usp=sharing

use this layout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KPFZBn-I2TQphmFqeChH_00hKB0uYxG7/view?usp=sharing

right click on the column names and add any other position that you might want for sorting

This is for example how your graphics/ folder should look like if you organize everything nicely under a new subfolder named faces/. You should have there DF11 Megapack, Daveincid and Regen content.

I'm starting the lists! Credits for the information go mostly to @countvronsky from FM Match Lab's discord. I'll keep updating this post with feedback I get below.

for REALISM
1. download FM24 Increase Realism Megapack OCTOBER UPDATE (10.10.25) FINAL VERSION.zip from https://fmdaveincid.com/old-downloads/, put the contents in editor data"; if you start the season in 2024 or 2025 instead of 2023, you might also need 24_25 season fixes or 25_26 season fixes from the zip file that you downloaded
2. to improve the match engine by nerfing gegenpress + other changes that make AI take better decisions + etc.: download FM Match Lab v1.4 (player ratings revamped).fmf from https://fmmatchlab.co.uk/fm-match-lab-mods/, rename it to simatch.fmf and put the contents in steamapps/common/Football Manager 2024/data/; optionally, you can use the FM Tweak's match engine manager to change between match engines

3. to improve training (including for AI) and nerf the "7x Recovery, 1x Quickness, 1x Match Practice, 1x Attacking" exploit: download training.fmf from https://fmmatchlab.co.uk/fm-match-lab-mods/, put the contents in steamapps/common/Football Manager 2024/data/game_simulation
4. the in-game editor to remove unhappiness ; you can't have a bunch of pussies around (of course, to use it to add realism or save time in any way you want to)
5. for editor data, also add the missing competitions https://master1gor.github.io/FMSites/FM24/FIFA/readme.html; for example, if starting a game with Romania you'd add the file from FIFA_Club_v24.5 and also UEFA_v24.7\ROU
6. see here https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2024/essentials if you need anything from "FM24 Expanded Leagues and Nations" for the nation you've chosen to play in
7. fix name licensing issues: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/63651/fm24-real-name-fix

for COSMETICS & FUN
1. to improve UI: the Sas2025Final.fmf skin from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/kxim8w96s6dnv/Sas24; there's a folder there with explanation on how to install it; differences between the versions:
  - Sas2025Final.fmf - The main skin
  - Sas2025Final-Background (background selector)
  - Sas2025Final-Hidden.fmf - With Show hidden attributes button

3. to get realistic faces for newly created players in the game: Regen Facepack https://ngregens.org/
4. for better sounds and audio commentary, to use the free version from here https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-audio-match-commentary.html together with the match engine modification FM Match Lab v1.4, you can follow the guide from https://fmsoundpack.wixsite.com/audio/instalation (section "Installing with other mods". I already did it, so if you want it easier just put in steamapps/common/Football Manager 2024/data/ the simatch.fmf I attach here, together with simatchviewer-pc.fmf that you can download from here https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-audio-match-commentary.html

COSMETICS & FUN of lower importance
1. enhanced turf (the content will end up in art/ instead of graphics/) https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-enhanced-turf-textures.html
2. trophy photos https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-trophies-megapack.html

Please provide links and feedback related to mods required to make fm24 perfect, visually and especially to increase realism!

Thank you. I understand from you that even for GKs no Position/Role/Duty training. Awesome that I have training clear in my mind now.

Have good coach for Quickness.
Training schedule: 7x Recovery, 1x Quickness, 1x Match Practice, 1x Attacking (often schedule friendlies on Wednesday).
Rest settings: No, No, No pitch and gym work, Double, Double intensity
Add additional quickness training for outfield players and reactions for goalkeepers.

Is this it? The same for FM26.

It's best if they have preseason, 1-match, 2-match, etc. variants.

Right now, I use these for preseason: https://fmnatics.com/mastering_preseason_fm (at the end)
And for season, I use some old Zealand files.

Unrelated, it would be great if someone would also upload a layout for Genie Scout (though I like the one I created for myself), and Bafici's ratings and layout (his download links don't work). I use Orion_coeff_Classic_ME.grf for ratings currently.
