What do you think of FM2026? (125 votes)
Cé l'anno fatta. Sono riusciti ( questi cervelloni) a rovinare un gioco bellissimo. Quello che mi dà più fastidio sono le tattiche di gioco. Non puoi più farne una tua con indicazioni per la squadra e per il giocatore. Tutto schematizzato possesso o non possesso. Che schifo!!! Molto probabilmente non ci giocherò mai.
I honestly do not know how they have got this so so wrong, It’s beyond bad.
2 years. For this. Speechless

They clearly have decided to chase the money and put this out to consoles. Im afraid its goodbye to the long and loyal PC Gamers . Miles can talk till he is blue in the face about how its also for PC users but we are not idiots. Its staring at us right in the face . ITS A CONSOLE GAME !!! You know it and we know it . They are just chasing the casual user for the big bucks but they have shot themselves in both feet now . Alienating the loyal supporters will not benefit them in the long run. Should of had a proper PC Version and a separate Console Version. Too late now the damage is done and when release day comes it will crash around them , Very Sad . This is the first time im not addicted to playing it , no immersion at all.
just give it more time.

another 2 years?

I have played since the original 92 version and Miles and team have ruined the game, he needs to go.

its a mobile game with a focus on the women’s game which very few are interested.

you are biased as your content creation relied on immersion, there is no immersion anymore
Major crash also presented itself in the first day of the full edition release; Without a crash or a unsuccessful save I cannot load either the game nor the save overwrite backup of it and SEGA automated reply was a bullshit "sorry" and that I should have a backup file and no answer to my explanation of the situation after it for over 9 hours
So Far what I've heard doesn't encourage me to by, correct me if wrong, but it FM 24 with slightly better graphics? When are we going to start holding them to account for re-hash after re-hash, this was promised to be as big as change as CM4 was but has fallen very flat?
@dmcgrath82: FM26 Free Demo is available to try the game if undecided.
It's definitely not FM24 with slightly better graphics. To me it feels like a different game that does have better match day and tactics, but mostly everything else is disappointing. Besides the fact it's riddled with bugs, it also lacks the immersion that FM always had.
I'm hoping that hotfix patches will keep coming every week to raise the game's Current Ability (low, say 120) because in theory it does have higher Potential Ability than FM24 (if the last one was 160, this might be 180).

well it was good while it lasted. FM26 is clearly made for console gamers and i don't blame them for it as they are a business and need to make as much money as possible. However, since FM was always PC focused and PC players basically kept it in business when it split from CM in the past, this is a tragic transformation which basically says FU to PC gamers who have been loyal from day 1.

all good games come to the end eventually. best to just keep playing FM24 as its final version and then move on to other games out there. FM26 is officially the end for me playing this series. bye!

The other day, I heard someone talking about the collapse of the movie industry. They said, "Instead of making the movies people want to see, they're making the movies and adding the messaging they want to make. And people are voting with their wallets and staying home."

Maybe the same could be said here. Instead of listening to the fans and making the game they want to play, they've done their own thing in their own bubble - and the result is, FM 26. I, too, am going back to FM 24. The idea of getting immersed in FM 26 seems to be off the table for me.

On second thought, I think I'll try installing it on my laptop later today and see if it has the same issues as it does on my PC. If so, I'm just going to pull the plug and get a refund. Nothing sends a clearer message than requesting a refund. At least I'll be able to download an updated database here on fmscout.com and play the most recent season on FM 24.
