Kiepściutko. Brak wielu rzeczy z FM 24. Wygląda to to fatalnie. Jedyny plus za mecze w 3d. Żałosne.
I wish I could give this a mixed review, in some ways it improves significantly from the previous formula of FM games and in other ways it is such a massive step back. Like many other people have said the new match engine is nice, being able to download mods to get proper stadiums like: The Emirates, Old Trafford and more is very nice and definitely adds to the immersion. The new OOP tactics are also nice although I feel like you could already achieve similar results with more specific individual player instructions on previous FM's. Another nice change is with Unity processing and sim speeds are significantly faster I have a MASSIVE database and I can get through the days between matches very quickly which I like. The new match engine improves the visuals significantly the new animations are a joy to watch, its so satisfying watching your tekky wingers beat their man with the new dribbling animations. That's about all the positives I've discovered, but to be honest these 3 things are significant enough for me to not go back to FM24 because I've gotten bored of that style as I've been playing FM since 2020. As many others have stated the UI is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ atrocious, its so cumbersome to click through, theres so many BASIC things missing from the game such as Individual training not showing what specific stats they improve. No match day heat maps or other nice stats. The opposition report analysis is not as in depth as it use to be. The editor is also a straight up downgrade from previous editors and it's a joke they raised the price for an inferior product. The constant barrage of pop-ups does my head into I would rather they go back to the old Screens layout instead of pop-ups galore, you can tell they really tried to Consoleify the game and indoing so they've alienated both PC and Console fanbases. By trying to satisfy everyone they've ended up creating a UI that pleases nobody. Like any FM game the match engine has its own fair share of problems but my biggest gripe is players just straight up ignoring team instructions and individual instructions. I have discourage long shots for the team and I also discourage my Fullbacks from taking shots and encourage them to look for riskier passes and even then they still continue to cut inside and shoot instead of laying it off to someone better. I've scored so many goals with FBs in this game more than any other FM I've played.
too many bugs and the game gets repetitive very quickly
너무 튕김
bug manager 26
Impatto iniziale devastante, ma dopo qualche ora ci si abitua. Tattica molto migliorata (fase di non possesso è essenziale per provare molte scelte tattiche) e anche la grafica che ha raggiunto un buon livello
Quite possibly the worst own goal in sports franchise history. Even if we ignore the bugs (which, months after release, are still plentiful), the design of the UI is ASTONISHINGLY bad. This isn't a case of someone getting over-ambitious but failing to execute (granted, the execution is also terrible, but that's another point entirely). The design decisions related to the interface, which is where 90% of the game is played, were simply bad decisions. The match engine looks nice (but not enough to justify all the delays and other issues) but the rest of the game is, by far, the worst FM ever made. I frankly don't understand how jobs weren't lost over this. It's that bad. Hopefully for FM27, if it even gets made, they go back to the old FM24 style of interface because the new one is simply unworkable. Making it even worse, the actual interface feels a bit sluggish when it comes to performance even on a NASA supercomputer.
fan off the game. But keeps chrashing for me now - doing every fix tips.. nothing works. have to re-install all over all the time.
I play this game since 1998, I can only see this as big improvement, not sure how it has low rating, most likely left from g*y people
