Discussion: The differences between each FM26 game across platforms

For the more popular variations, things are not looking good at all. Besides the fact it's riddled with bugs, it also lacks the immersion that FM always had. We can only hope hotfixes will keep coming to at least iron out most bugs and restore missing quality of life features.
@HannaHer: How am I overselling? This is merely a comparison between the different variations of the game across platforms.
Refrain from shouting with all-caps, it's against our posting rules.
SI and Miles should be ashamed of themselves for putting this out and hyping it up.
The message from the players are loud and clear when the majority on steam, reddit and other fm forums give it negative feedback.
If SI don’t do anything radical and turn this around FM 27 will be a flop in sales and I seriously think FM as a game is at risk going forward.
THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENT!
