AM24 - Assistant Manager for FMM24 (Android) 1.0.6

March 4

NOW FIXED SO SHORTLIST EXPORTS WORK WITH VERSION 15.2.0 OF FMM24 (WINTER VERSION)

This is a scouting app for FMM24 (Android), letting you:

See the CA, PA, hidden attributes, etc for any player.
Search for players by many parameters (CA, PA, Age, position, foot, name, club, some hidden attributes, etc).
Export the current view of players to a FMM shortlist so you can import them into your FMM shortlist.

NOTES:

This will only work with FMM24, it will NOT work with FMM23 or FMM25 (when it comes).
It is only available for Android.
There are some very significant changes to where save files are stored in FMM24 which have a major impact on AM24, so please read the Changes In FMM24 section below (tldr: you must export your saves in FMM24 before AM24 can see them).
I am still working towards a complete rewrite and getting this onto Google Play and when I do so it will not be free.
I am releasing this here for free in the meantime because it will probably take significant time to complete the rewrite etc.
There are some known bugs such as languages and favourite clubs not working. These are unlikely to be fixed before the rewrite.
If you have used the In Game Editor (ie there is a yellow Edit button showing), AM24 will not be able to read the save file and it will not open.

Installation / Opening A Save File

You will need to allow APKs to be installed from sources other than Google Play.
When you open the APK file downloaded from this page, you will also be prompted to allow installation from this source.
When you open the app for the first time, you will have to press Find Save Folder to find the careers/saves folder.
Android will then prompt you for permission to access files, storage etc.
You then need to find the folder with the various Exported careers in it. Note: you must have exported your careers first, as discussed in the Changes in FMM24 section below.
Once you have found this folder, you will need to open the career folder with the exported save files (eg export_Newcastle).
Note: you will not actually see the save files in this view, it only shows folders.
Once the exported save folder has been opened, press the "Choose Folder" button in the top right.
It should then show you any save files in that folder (Save 1, Save 2, Save 3).
If these buttons are greyed out, then it did not find any save files in this folder - please press the Change Career Folder button and try again.

Note: To change saves within a career, choose the Open Folder icon, then choose the save you wish to open. To change careers, choose the Open Folder icon, then press Change Career Folder, find the folder you want and press Choose Folder in the top right.

Changes in FMM24

There were some major changes to the way that save files are stored in FMM24 and it limits what AM24 can do.

Save files are now saved in a hidden storage area that other apps, like AM24, cannot access. This means AM24 cannot directly access the save files. Instead you need to export them from FMM24. The first time you do this, FMM will ask you where to store these - this is the folder you need to find in the installations instructions above.

Unfortunately this means you cannot open the save file in AM24 directly, play on (and save) in FMM24, then use the refresh button in AM24 to see the latest data. You will need to export the career every time you want to get an updated view of the save file. Even more unfortunately the export process is very cumbersome. You need to:

Choose Save Game in FMM
Exit the save, back to the main FMM screen
Press Load Game
Select the career you want to export
Press Export
Give the export a name (yes every time) - it makes sense to use the same name each time so you can just refresh in AM24
Press Export
Press OK, then Cancel
Go to AM24 and press the refresh button

This needs to be done before using AM24 for the first time and again every time you want to see the latest save.

Exporting shortlists from AM24 and loading them into FMM is very messy. Please see the details in this comment below for an explanation.

Loading Save Files That Have Been Edited

Save files that have been edited with the In Game Editor will sometimes not load in AM24. This is due to the save file being reordered and AM24 being unable to find the Manager's last name, which is needed to load the file.

As a workaround, please create a text file called `lastname.txt` that contains just the Manager's surname and copy it into the same folder as the save file. For example if the Manager's surname was Cronin, you would create a file like this: lastname.txt

Note: This is just a temporary solution. I'll find a better solution when I rewrite the app (at the very minimum I will make it a setting rather than the needing a text file which is pretty lame!).

Overview

Here's an overview of the app from several years ago. It is mostly the same, except for the part about opening the saves, which has changed as mentioned above:

Spoiler

Also, here is a new video looking at how to export saves from FMM24 so you can access them in AM24 and how to import shortlists created by AM24 into FMM24:

Spoiler

Support, etc

The app shouldn't cause any problems, but it is an "use at your own risk" app.

If you find any problems with the app, feel free to post them below BUT a) I don't have much time to spend on this now and b) I had to downgrade my development environment to release the app and I need to update it again soon (and won't be able to make any changes after that). So... there may be little to no support this year.

There will only be an Android version in the short term. Longer term I'd like to be able to do an iOS version, or at least a web version if that's not possible, but don't hold your breath!

Have fun!

Though remember using this app is against the rules of the challenges here on Vibe if you're doing one of them.

I'm still using the original version as it works for me and I'm not too fussed on exporting shortlists, but I have noticed the favoured club search function doesn't work.

Does it work on the new version?

No, sorry, favoured club / people is broken for now. It used to work, but there was a change about a year ago and it doesn't work anymore. Same with language. I know how to get the information from the save file, but the way the app is structured right means I can't really extract that information properly - but when I do the complete rewrite I will find a way to make it work.

Thanks for the app!

I got the regens but according to your app all of them have very low professionalism and determination; 8-9, and almost no work rate; 1.

That is a problem as they have high PA but they are useless. Can these stats improve?

Players coming from my academy, however, have low PA; ~145, but very high professionalism, determination, and work rate; 20.

Do you have a Motivational coach on staff? It seems that really helps with the hidden attributes of your academy players, ie would explain why they are so good mentally.

As for the regens, yeah a lot of them are pretty dodgy! I generally just avoid these players as there are always some good players that are strong mentally.

The other approach is that if you can get a really good 30+year old player with great hidden attributes, then you can mentor these youngsters and hopefully pass on some of these values. When mentoring finishes, you sometimes get the 'player X is showing more determination' message - that's a sign that the mentored player has just inherited the full value of the mentor's value for that attribute. They can literally jump from 1 to 20 (if the mentor's value is 20). For eg, I use Giroud for strikers (but he can also improve other positions) as he has Professionalism of 20, Determination of 20 and Work Rate of 17 (I think).

Unfortunately you can't pick which attribute they inherit, so you may need to mentor them multiple times - you can generally stop mentoring them after the first "mentoring is going well" message, get the bonus, then start mentoring them again. Although FMM will say they can't benefit any further after 2 goes of this, they still do improve so you can do this quite a few times. It does use up a little bit of CA each time, but for high PA players it's definitely worth it.

Also, they don't always get the full benefit/message when you stop mentoring, which is why you need a really good player who is 30+ as they are much more likely to pass on full value multiple times.

I, myself, am a motivational coach.

Is a 25-29 mentor not good as a 30+ mentor? I have some 25-29 players with good hidden attributes and are able to mentor.

I mentored a 195 PA player with a world-class player, Salah, but didn't notice a change in hidden attributes but rather in normal attributes. How do I know if a hidden attribute got better during mentoring?

You get a message like this at the end, whether you end it early (after the showing signs of improvement message) or it ends naturally:

image.png.7687665a4df6ef8abed0951cd39b4510.png

That's indicating that Kuol has inherited the full value of Giroud's Professionalism. Of course you can also take a look at the player in AM24 and see that his Professionalism (or whatever the message is for) has improved.

But that message doesn't always appear. I found that it happens most of the time with Giroud and Quagliarella (when he was still in the game), but less often with younger mentors or with mentors who just were never that good (when I was playing lower league and couldn't attract or afford better mentors). It's a bit hit or miss to be honest, and I'm assuming older is better, but it might be something else.

Hey @Scratch,

Where can I find the hidden attributes such as (professionalism, determination, work rate, ambition, consistency, big matches, pessure, .... etc) in hex editor?

For example I have the player Steven Bala, his UID is 581c3877 (found that from your app)

This is what I find when I search his UID:

How do I find his attributes, I mentioned above, after that?

Thanks

That doesn't look like the right section - his code is right obviously but the other stuff around it doesn't look right, so it must just be a reference to him in some other part of the file.

To find him, go right down to the bottom of his page in AM and you'll see a HEX editing search string section. The strings there are longer and should help you find him BUT note that for the attributes/CA/PA section the save has to be exactly the same in both AM and FMM (so you will need to make sure you've exported the current save before searching for that or changing anything). Actually I guess you need to do that anyway if you are planning to change something and then import that back into FMM.

Anyway, some of the hidden attributes are stored in the main record - so if you search for that string and post a screenshot, I can help you find it.

Others are stored in the attributes section, so then search for the second string. I broke that section down over here so you might be able to work it out yourself, but if not, let me know. The search should take you directly to the Crossing attribute (not to the codes before that mentioned in the post):

obdz · March 20

@Scratch

Okay, this is his main record.

And this is his attributes/CA/PA string. I followed your post, but I don't know where the string mentioned in the post starts in my case. Is it after the string in AM, or is the string in AM included with it.

Okay, for the first one, you are looking for these 8 characters:

image.png.9746eeb3542b74469c49a091f190e909.png

That's Adaptability, Ambition, Determination, Loyalty, Pressure, Professionalism, Sporting and Temperament, in that order. Those are all 0-20 values represented in HEX (ie 00-09, then 0a to 0f, then 10 to 14). So 0C for Adaptability is 12 out of 20 in decimal.

It can be a little tricky to find that section for each player, as the area between it and the codes (ie the search string) has some variable length stuff (so it's not an exact number of characters after the search string). But it will always be around about there and is generally after something similar to the D2 00 E7 07 03 00 (can be slight changes to the numbers, but should be similar pattern).

For the second one, the search string starts with Crossing (the first attribute). So EF will be his value for Crossing (which is 239 in decimal). The full attributes section is:

image.png.b8dc12a36ef918ae64e5f0e7c7d0030b.png

This is the order (but note some of these are 0-20 and some are 0-255 so you have to play around with the values and see what happens):

Crossing, Dribbling, Tackling, Shooting(Finishing), Shooting(Long Shots), Aerial(Heading), Aerial(Jumping), Passing, Decisions, Teamwork (Unselfishness), Pace, Strength, Stamina, Technique, Consistency, Aggression, Big Matches, Injury Proneness, Leadership, Versatility, Set Pieces, Penalties, Creativity, Movement, Positioning, Teamwork (Work rate), Flair, Handling, Kicking, Agility, Arial GK, Reflexes, Communication (but shown value is modified by Leadership I think), Throwing.

Hope that helps.

@Scratch Thanks a lot for the help.

I have another question, sorry for being annoying

Here these players in the picture have no club, and they never appear in the search in the game. I tried searching them a lot. I think they are regens but there is bug preventing them from appearing.

Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

Yeah, if they don't appear in the search (in the game) they are either:

In a club academy somewhere - youth players don't have anything in the club field even if they are in a club academy for some reason so the look like this in the game; OR
They are just hanging around waiting to be spawned somewhere - it can take a couple of years for players to come through.

Sooner or later they should turn up.

Idiarj · April 6

I have the same problem as another guy here with the academy players, a lot of them appear in the AM app but appear to be without club in the app, when i try to search for them in the game they dont appear.

For example there is a player that im sure is the benzema regen, he appeared for the 1st time in my save around 6 seasons ago but even since then he has always appeared as free in the AM app and cant find him in the game.

One solutions may be to change his club through hex editing, i already know how to find a player and change some of his hidden attributes and all of that, but I still dont know how to change a players club, so does anyone know if there is a way to do that?

Thank you for your reply. I started a new save and found no errors. The software is working properly.

This app is almost perfect to find hex player data, but im still confused about some of the hex data. For example are this.

which functions in the contract section correspond to certain lines of hex code? all i know are the B5 00 06 08 are contract expiry, but i dont even know how to decode it to change it to my preferred date

oh and thanks @Scratch for the wonderful app you have made!

Hello, mate!

I started a new career with Leicester in the English second division. I searched for Brazilian players on AM24 with a PA of 147 and found 19 players, but when I export the file to FMM24, only 5 players appear. I have another career with Manchester United and did the same search on AM24 for Brazilian players and found 42 players, but when I export to FMM24, only 36 players appear.

Could you explain why this happens?

Do you have some screenshots of this? Or a save file I can look at? Maybe it's the youngsters that aren't attached to a club (ie they are in an academy somewhere in the game, but still show up in AM)?

That's to indicate whether the player is loaned in or loaned out.

I searched for players aged 15-25 with a PA of 147 from Brazil. In AM24, 10 players appear, but in the game, there are only 8.

Hmm... Vitor Roque is at your club, so maybe the Show players from my club parameter is switched off? But I'm not sure what's up with Hoffman - maybe the Only Show Interested filter is on? But I'm not really sure. I probably need the save file to investigate it further (you can DM it to me if you like).

This isn't that easy. I was originally going to make it portrait, but there's too much info in the table views to fit easily. I can get clever and show different columns for different widths, but that's a later thing.

So... not in the short term sorry, but in the longer term it's on a long list of things to look into.
