    I'll give it a few months, for someone to discover the hidden "Killer" formation, as it seems that every version has had at least one.

    What's Charltons transfer budget looking like? 
    We’ve spent about £11m, how much more do you think we’ll have?


    A couple million for the right player? 👀

    4th November release date according to Steam
    Do you know whether the iPad version will be available as a one off payment or will it only be on Apple Arcade again?
    Website currently suggests it will only be released via Netflix and won't have the upgrades of the other games

    It's not even a new match engine, it's just a new graphics engine so it will remain 4231 gegenpress

    Europa universalis 5 and football manager 2026 released on the same day? RIP my wallet and my marriage.

    Would love to get this but seems as though it will cook my ancient laptop. Don’t think I fancy shelling out £400+ just to play one game.

    I think there are some cloud streaming services that run it.

    It’s basically just Email Simulator. I love it. Been playing it for years. Glad women are in the game now, hopefully it will attract new players

    My partner doesn’t understand the appeal because in her eyes it’s just moving my focus from one database (work) to another (FM). Quite hard to disagree but it’s great

    Think a lot of us would be fired from our jobs if we took the same risks in real life that we do on football manager

    Who's this for though? I don't want any of this. I don't care if there's a shiny match engine, I don't even use the 3D match engine anymore because the actually interesting thing is putting together a new squad, developing young players, taking a club up through the divisions and reloading if you don't beat Crystal Palace. I'm concerned that my potato laptop isn't going to have the specs to run FM26 without catching fire and even if it does they'll have spent two years painstakingly getting the advertising hoardings right instead of improving the things that make FM24 maddening. Is the AI still unable to handle squad building after the first few years? Do players still demand £300k a week from you and then go to another club for £40k a week instead? Are all player interactions still insane dice rolls written by a man who's never not ended a conversation with an argument? That's the stuff I'm interested in, I want the actual management part to run better, not the stick figures running around to be more convincing. I guess we'll see what they've been up to soon.
    I still play FM13 and have the same issues! Also can't build a decent youth set up and international management just seems like a waste of time bar the tournaments.

    The last version I bought was FM21, so thought I'd have a quick look on steam, to see how much I can get 24 for, as 26 is due out soon. They're still wanting £45 for it.

    I'll pass.

    Love the look of the match screen in between highlights. Do find it funny that they’ve improved the graphics and audio loads but the crowd still look like cardboard cut outs though

    If they upgraded the fans in the stadium and the audio it would make such a difference to the game. Feel like they're missing a trick there.
