Going forward, a game status screenshot will mostly be required from content creators. When it comes to style emulation or new users, a common-sense approach will be applied.

Regarding the use of editors, I do not have the required knowledge. However, Stam mentioned that FMLE26 is not shown. I would assume it is the same with FMRTE, as they operate on a similar concept.

Stam has also introduced a voting system for tactics, so people can share their opinions that way as well.]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:22:33 -0000 2026-02-25 16:28#309776 gimn85 : Out of interest, does it indicate in the Game Status if the new Live Editor 26 is used?

After discussion with luk4sh31, Stam confirmed that it won't show if FMLE26 has been used. The assumption is the same with FMRTE but no confirmation on that (yay, that none of us use third party editors, I suppose).

I have also been informed that there is a desire to stop this post going as we want to move on from the problem. If so, please can we get confirmation on that, as I would hate for someone else to think this is still an active discussion.]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:07:57 -0000 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:28:55 -0000 I had a strange problem too even if I don't allow fm editor when I created the save game the game status said editor allowed yes editor used no exactly after I picked up my team. I wasn't using any mod except a skin.
I tried again to restart the game , recreate a new savegame and it was ok, don't know what happened]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2026 15:28:26 -0000
The thumbs up/down system will also be debuting (Steam reviews style), alongside a views/downloads ratio metric.

@TFS: Let me know if this is caused by the stadium mod or the custom skin.]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2026 15:00:16 -0000 2026-02-24 18:03#309764 Knap : Game status also shows
Date created and
Game time
Editor used

These should indicate a long term save rather than a tactics test.

It should be obvious if more saves are needed or a test stopped for any reason.

Providing a game status screen is only 1 additional screenshot and not an onerous request.

As I have stated the editor being used is not perfect as I can load up a game right now and it will say yes. Thats within 1 seconds of picking my team.

I suppose a way to combat this is check game status as soon as the game starts to see it says yes or no.]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:48:36 -0000 Date created and

As it would also be for someone who only gets an hour or two to play each night, so only plays a couple of games between saving. But come - let's say - May, they might have a tactic they want to share that is the result of love of the game, many seasons of a career, and many occasions of clicking save before going to bed for the night. If they come here and see people demanding game status screens and judging people based on the number of saves, they're not going to bother uploading. It doesn't matter if you'd treat them...]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:06:49 -0000 2026-02-24 12:32#309753 luk4sh31 : I think you have misunderstood me. When I was referring to my save policy, it was about manual play, not holiday testing. But if your intention was to point out that I could still play those five matches — yes, I could. However, it is harder to win those five matches again than saving before each game (manual play). This is quite important when you look at cup matches, where you can only play one match to get to the next round.

This is my personal preference: I would rather lose five finals and win one fairly. I actually recorded my last episode from my...]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:40:47 -0000
You make a lot of good points here and I particularly like this one "As someone who has spent years playing this game, I just want people to understand — especially the children who are looking for help. It should not be about instant results or a way to capitalize on them."
It's easy to use editor and get results, and this is just me when I play I want to manual play and get results based on what I built and accomplished all that goes out the window if editor is used to manipulate the players CA & PA and game, again this is just me.

I have struggled immensely with FM26 in the...]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:26:05 -0000 gimn85 accurately described the situation), which caused angry comments.

Several good ideas were brought on the table and I feel progress was made towards improving the transparency for tactic submissions and establishing a discussion framework that doesn't tolerate abuse while encouraging critical feedback.

As you might know, I despise drama and seriously value peace of mind. Therefore I have no interest in addressing speculation...]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:25:25 -0000

I was testing how easy it was to run a clean save.

The other use of game status screen is to show editor has not been used.

As I constantly rate tactics by performance trying to artificialy improve results would be detrimental to my comparison table.]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:08:05 -0000 2026-02-24 07:25#309744 luk4sh31 : I have recently had five crashes within the Dover game. It was that issue with the assistant manager which was patched recently.

When the game crashed, I had to play those matches all over again, as I have a policy of saving roughly every four to five matches or after a month if there are no matches.

For me, when I see too many saves, it is a red flag for save-and-load gameplay.
