Football Manager 26

Football Manager 26 is a good step forward when it comes to engine and tactics, but it can frustrate many long-term fans. I like the dual approach to tactical choices, and I feel that the title reflects real-world trends. The match day experience is good, and the integration of women’s football adds a new dimension to the sim. Learning where everything is in the new interface, especially for the less-used options, will take time. Graphical glitches and some weirdness with on-pitch movement will probably be eliminated by patches. Football Manager 26 requires time and patience, but it will give football simulation fans hundreds of hours of fun, regardless of whether they are playing a superpower or an underdog.

Football Manager 26 is a revolutionary change to a longstanding franchise that has more than enough great updates to overcome a few small warts. If Sports Interactive can iron those out over time, Football Manager 26 could easily go down as one of the best in the history of the franchise.

Football Manager 26 marks the beginning of a new era. Unity brings with it a breath of fresh air, but that step forward has led to two steps back: the UI is dispersive, almost unbelievable in its capriciousness. In a management game where control is everything and analysis is also crucial, appearing with such cluttered screens is problematic. We're already in 2027, with all our tactics and strategies to create a winning streak that would make Xabi Alonso and Pep Guardiola shudder, but it's clear that there are many improvements we expect for next year. Football Manager 26 is still a solid product, but after a year off, we were hoping for a fresher, more refined game.

Football Manager 26 delivers the biggest overhaul the series has seen, pushing toward a more modern presentation with improved visuals and UI that clearly aim to welcome new players. But those sweeping changes come with a cost: missing features and an overwhelming number of bugs make it a frustrating experience for longtime fans.

Football Manager 26 is for the diehards alone for this reason. It’s frustrating to deal with the bugs and UI changes, even if the core game remains basically the same. If you were to imagine this game without those issues, however, the new ideas and enhancements that are in the game are universally good and, whether it is just a matter of patches or waiting for Football Manager 27, there are very good reasons to get very enthusiastic about this series again.

FM26 delivers meaningful tactical upgrades and smoother on-pitch action, but sacrifices too many beloved features in the transition to a new engine, leaving the game feeling promising yet noticeably incomplete.

Football Manager 26 is a disaster few could have imagined. An overwhelming number of bugs combined with a downright atrocious user interface turns this supposed new beginning into a barely playable mess. Amid the chaos, there are brilliant and irreplaceable innovations that make returning to previous installments unthinkable – which only makes the whole thing all the more tragic.

It will become better with updates, took a few hours to get used to but really starting to enjoy it well gme play is actually really good and navigation keeps geting more comforabtle

Plus de 500h sur le jeu... je peux vous dire qu'effectivement le jeu est actuellement pas fini, il n'est pas parfait du tout, mais au fil des mises à jour, le jeu devient bon, sport interactive bosse et je suis optimiste pour l'avenir de notre FM ...

Fm26 est un bon jeu, pour moi l'interface est un peu difficile à prendre en main si on est un habitué aux anciens opus. Le gros point négatif du jeu est la nouvelle interface qui est dure à prendre en main est qui est plutôt lente comparé à celle de Fm24. J’ai du installé un mod pour la rendre plus agréable a utilisée.

Don't get me wrong – it's not a bad game, it definitely has some potential. However, the state in which this game was released is pathetic. There are tons of bugs (some have been patched, but many still remain). And don't even get me started on this horrible UI. I've spent hundreds of hours playing previous installments, and after a week with FM26 I still struggle to find certain views. That's just crazy. I honestly thought they skipped FM25 to release a polished product the following year…

新的UI导致了巨大的问题，老玩家开始不知所措，而且有严重的各种bug，再补充一点，不知道费劲巴力加入女足是什么意思，关键是，你两年的工作，带来的却是无尽的bug和操作逻辑混乱。
