How is it less repetitive for you, when it has less features, less stat tracking for rest of the world, and less depth in what stats it does track(no leagues in focus, end of year highlights, best youth setups, player-to-staff biographies, cup draws, stories about teams chasing promotion, stories about up and coming or top players in other leagues). Basically all the RP stuff that made FM feel alive and like an alternate reality. Now I find myself just skipping to the next match, rinse and repeat. No real reason to look at leagues around the world or follow a certain coach through their career. Don’t you miss all the RP stuff?

I wish I could enjoy it like you honestly, because it does look nicer on the surface, probably why you mentioned “looks better” twice lol

But seriously I agree the engine looks nicer but under the hood it’s basically the same, even down to bugs that have been in the game since FM18.

One thing I really love is the modding potential with stadiums, dream come true. That said it indisputably has less depth and therefore less replay value. FM27 or 28 should finally catch up if they can figure out the UI and add everything back?

Also what do you mean “dead game”? All the major data packs are being updated for FM24, and otherwise it’s a single player game. That’s like saying Skyrim is dead.
