terrible game
개 시발 애미 터진 새끼들. 잘 쓰던 UI 개지랄창내놓고 스킨은 또 쉽게 못쓰게 개쳐막아놓음. 도대체 대가리가 있는거임 없는거임? fm11부터 해왔는데 내 진짜 이렇게 화가 나는건 처음임. 사지마셈 돈낭비임 할인해도 사지마셈 돈 땅바닥에 버리기임 절대로 사지마셈 차라리 24하면서 시간 보내셈 실제로 26은 자료도 많이 없음
[strike]官方翻译的人名地名俱乐部名一大堆错误,想要专有名词都用英文显示,结果现在语言设置还没法单独设置。没事闲的为什么把之前那么好的功能给删掉啊?? [/strike] 这个UI藏得这么是怕人找得到吗
经常闪退
bought this only because it was at half price. most of the comments I read online against this game are true. the user interface is the biggest problem. seems like no one from the developer team has actually played a football manager simulator game. some text are also not aligning properly and are cut off if it is a long sentence. [url=steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3756118678] example of text not aligning [/url] also, leaving decisions to your asst manager doesnt mean he takes the best option available like quick pick first eleven or assigning coaches to training ie i have a dedicated 5 star set piece coach but he was assigned to 3 star possession training instead. the best upgrade has to be the instant simulation option before and during a match. I cant think of anything else that I consider an upgrade to past games. my advise: if you really NEED to buy this, wait till they offer at least 50% discount.
es muy buen juego, no se porque a muchos no les gusta
Just brilliant, a massive step forward.
When I purchased the game I had a lot of expectations and hype for it , but after playing it I can say that the experience fell short on my expectations. The game has absolutely changed and is nothing like the older fm games.They have changed the menus , the search of players/staff , the tactics , the player roles, plus the game has a lot of bugs. A change is not always something bad , however at this occasion it feels like I am playing a different game. I am truly dissapointed by FM26 , I DO NOT SUGGEST BUYING and as far as I am concerned the FM27 needs LOTS OF WORK to be done in order to improve this mess
This is the hardest review that I have to do since forever. I knew the game was going to be different but the interface... I can't get used to it, spending almost 30 years on something and needing to change so drasticaly is very disapointing... The in-game engine is beautiful, the game looks great and yet it feels unfinished! I'm sorry... It is my last Football Manager, unless they backtrack on giving us a more intuitive and familiar interface, give us back the 2D game match experience, it feels like it tries so hard to send the original community away from it and embrace new stuff but it was done so wrong... I wish I could give this a score of 5 outta 10 instead of having to recommend and not recommend... it hurts. Oh and only had 1 crash in almost 30 hours but I can't keep going. I feel pushed away by the devs, honestly, just wanted an emersive and familiar game, it runs absolutely fine, but it's all gone. Goodbye Football Manager, thanks for the memories.
