A few things that I really dislike about FM26 :

• You get less 3D from the games than in FM24, and receive more 2D instead
• More clicks and more searching to go where you want to go
• The add-ons like logos, faces etc and not working
• The overviews are worse than in FM24, they are overwelming and require more clicks
• Only 4 colour combinations possible fort he attributes.
In FM24 you could choose your own preferences
Conclusion :
for me the only things that have changed in a positive way are the match engine, WHEN IT’S 3D, and an update from the database. All the other things were better in FM24. Even the Newgen faces generated by the game itself are not better than in FM24 in general.
Don’t know if I will buy the next version of FM, unless there are some serious corrections that make the game a lot better.
Unbelievable we had to wait for 2 years and receive a worse game than the one 2 years ago !

For the ones who are using the “In game editor” :
• A lot more difficult to make changes
• More cliks needed to go where you want to go and to adapt
• Not possible to copy or introduce attribute templated, tactics, …
• Can not change hair colour anymore from New Gens
Hi,

I have move graphics folder form fm 24 to fm 26 and got all the logos, faces working fine.

I enjoy the tactical improvement.

Annoyed with click, inability to add your own shortcuts (this will improve gameplay). You see less info on the screen as the boxes are smaller and can't be use in full screen.
You've got plenty of 3D and matches highlights depending on what you want to watch, key highlights works perfectly fine for me, i have between 10/20 sequences a game depending on who i play with. And i'm not in Dynamic mode.

Logos, faces, kits are working just fine, you probably did something wrong in the way you sorted it or in your game preferences. Maybe try following a tutorial for FM26 cause some things changed from the previous versions.

I'm agreeing on the fact that the attributes colours are just lazy and i hope they make it so we can choose just what we want like previously.

For research i only use the favorites i have and the search bar, you can access everything from there if you set the game like you want to play.
The first issue from the OP is simply not true, you can select the dynamic mode and you have a lot of 3D to watch. Also not true the third issue, all graphics are working just fine. The rest I agree, FM26 has several bad decisions made "by design" and several missing features that SI was unable to improve, so the decision was simply to remove them.
After Installing all the updates on FM26, I find the whole set-up very painful, especially around game day, match speed constantly buffering and ability to place new signings in the training camp. All honesty, back to FM24 and enjoy updated current squads.
