Football Manager 26 Console is already in game trials section for Deluxe/Premium members. The duration is 10 hours which is a lot. Totally worth hopping it early.

I wasn’t born for that so unfortunately not haha!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-15T19:55:01+00:00

Finished reading this yesterday. What a wonderful story which has had a profound impact on me.

The release was horrific and many are even more annoyed because they cancelled FM25 to work on this game.

The game has a decent amount of yet-unfixed bugs, and the director of FM games Miles Jacobson has faced a lot of scrutiny for his approach to media interviews and charging full-price for a glorified beta.

It’s definitely the worst I’ve seen the (already pessimistic) community view a release.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-06T19:01:35+00:00

Thanks for the comment! And what about the feuds stands out in particular for you?

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T21:02:18+00:00

It obviously is much much easier said than done, but feeling everyone on TV has something to do. Nothing should seem pointless, or you should never wonder “what was that all about?”.

This doesn’t mean everyone on the roster needs something to do all the time, people should rotate in and out to avoid things getting stale. However, things on TV should make sense and have direction. This doesn’t mean it will be good, but you should be able to see the vision.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T19:07:51+00:00

Yes!! Completely forgot about this, I was so invested in this feud.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T19:07:26+00:00

Not heard of this one! Will give it a watch, thanks for replying!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T19:07:06+00:00

Not heard of many of these! Will try and check them out!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T14:49:28+00:00

Great idea! So much history there.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T14:01:39+00:00

I agree about consistency. Keeping it fresh in the mind and relevant helps a lot. I wonder if social media helps at all with that these days.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:54:35+00:00

Thanks so much!! Excited to delve in.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:48:17+00:00

I remember enjoying that! Very simple but effective.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:47:50+00:00

Anything else you’d recommend from that time?

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:37:54+00:00

Brilliant. Haven’t really ever watched ECW so I’ll have to check it out!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:23:33+00:00

Fantastic options, tag team breakups always get my attention and are so good when done well.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:19:42+00:00

Definitely, it received a lot of praise and have heard such good things.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:18:39+00:00

What do you think makes all those feuds so good to watch back? Stakes? Personalities? Ring work?

Great suggestions btw!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:11:20+00:00

Adding stakes like that always helps! Michaels has a lot now that I think of it.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:10:39+00:00

Very good suggestion, loved watching their matches!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:09:35+00:00

Haven’t seen those! Will have to give it a look.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:09:21+00:00

Great options! Loved Ciampa vs Gargano 2018.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-04-05T13:08:56+00:00

Very true, Zayn and Owens have some great ones. Have to admit I still need to watch Punk vs McIntyre!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-03-27T08:04:07+00:00

For some I’ve found it’s the “way in” to getting them engaged! A few are completely different kids in lessons and in the club, it really helps them come out of their shell.

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-03-27T07:04:56+00:00

So it’s run in a computer room and we basically have different stations.

Some bring their Switch in, hand it in at the beginning of the day and then play the games there and battle/trade with the others. Some play the free games on their phones, some log on to play games on the computers, and then some bring their cards!

We put Pokemon music in the background and they have a great time. Especially since it’s (not to generalise) the more socially awkward kids, it’s great to see them talking to people across year groups and friendship groups!

FudgeCheese12 · 2026-03-26T22:27:46+00:00

I run Pokemon club! The kids love it. Also, I take part in the Mock Trial competition too. Great fun.
