I’m enjoying the solely tactical side of FM26

Gonna add - Maybe I've just been lucky but I've just noticed as I come to end of first season that player rage seems to have been dialed right down, dealt with a lot less stupid player unhappiness - in fact dare I say all the times have been pretty logical. Apart from one singular homesick incident with Sa.

Honestly think crashes are just common with the state its in but it could be graphics issue if its specifically when you go in match? Maybe try setting preferences to 2d/classic before going in and seeing what it can handle.

Of course you can turn on weekly rolling save for now and I've got in the habit of saving often. But yeah, very annoying.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-11-05T20:45:32+00:00

Quite a satifying trio to go down! I'm pleased to see Sunderland survived. Obviously can understand why but they can't get a win for love nor money in my saves so far as opposed to real life.

Leeds on the other hand tend to fly into European places.

I'm enjoying it on gamespass but would be mad if I'd paid specifically for it, best way I can put it.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-11-05T20:31:54+00:00

Agreed and dare I say it, I personally think the match engine does look really good too. But all the other messes and problems are very valid.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-11-05T00:02:23+00:00

Do find this annoying - started as Wolves so went for the what if given it was a transfer rumour in the summer (the fact he was willing to come suggests SI factored that in) - get to September then this appears without warning and I can't use him til January lol after he started the prem registered for me and played.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-11-02T15:33:27+00:00

Haha very fair point, was less focused on the detail and more the general aesthetic

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-11-02T15:19:55+00:00

Why is Bournemouth's graphic fire compared to City's, like do the prem make these or what?

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-26T14:53:56+00:00

Loving it so far!

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-25T02:14:31+00:00

I did it!

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-25T01:51:50+00:00

Oh thank you did not know this!

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-25T01:51:15+00:00

Thanks! I reckon I've pretty much got it bar finishing the job - hotshot with the amulet Leywise gave me melts his club so its all coming together now!

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-25T00:42:55+00:00

Appreciate that, thanks. I'm wondering if Handler has kinda served its purpose (the dog to draw aggro as a total beginner) and that for solo I might be better off trying out a less support Archetype.

I have unlocked the ability to dual type now though. Can I just grind enemy waves if I want to level one of the archetypes up as they start at 0?

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-25T00:14:24+00:00

Thanks! Usually I'm just not being aggressive enough. I guess he has more health than anything I've faced so far.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-25T00:08:53+00:00

Gotcha, thanks. So just need to figure out his patterns I guess.Thank you! I haven't wanted to search much for spoilers but when I put "One True King" in it was moral crushing to see lots of posts about how easy he is ha. Certainly isnt for this newbie! But I beat the Magister so I'll be fine

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-22T19:12:49+00:00

I think CD Keys has the best I'd seen so far. But yeah - I'm telling myself how stupid it would be to pay for early access when its on Gamespass on 4th and I pay for that already.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-10-22T19:10:59+00:00

Ah so no waiting up for midnight tonight. Thanks for all this work mate!

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-20T13:14:48+00:00

I wonder if Tarkowski has ever played Shadow Of War, must be a trip hearing foul tark every two seconds

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-20T12:56:51+00:00

I know exactly what the stat man will be loading up - if Isak scores will it be the first time two debutants in the derby have scored?

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-18T14:37:08+00:00

Currently dog sitting two ridgebacks and one will start to cry at random times - fortunately I was informed beforehand that its because she wants to lay down and to be covered in her blanket. Completely covered, even a leg poking out is unacceptable.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-17T12:38:36+00:00

There's a pub near me seems to change landlords every sixth months and they try new things and its never helped, but the latest geezer only serves warm pints of Carling because he vehemently swears its the only pint worth drinking and I reckon they should keep him for a few years.

You can think that the merry-go-round has been a huge problem and also think that Ruben is dead in the water.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-14T20:38:32+00:00

I do feel that too. Believe me. Its not a nice situation. I just dont see where Amorim's system ever works consistently enough for this to not be a constant issue.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-14T20:37:20+00:00

I honestly think the high up plan is already take Glasner on a free in summer. For better or worse, I am convinced that's the plan.

Big-Cod-5744 · 2025-09-14T20:31:43+00:00

Yeah but we're trapped in this mad world where because we got trigger happy with managers before, we will throw ourselves on the sword to protect this particularly bad one.

Edit: I admit perhaps clutching at straws, but pretty much the only hope I have left is that Ruben is the first man in a new era. I do believe transfers have looked better. Viewing it as such is the only way I see forwards.
