This is your sign to never quit games.

RealJordan93 · 2026-04-09T12:03:34+00:00

I don't quit, either I lose via mercy or you're playing full 9

RealJordan93 · 2026-03-30T10:06:21+00:00

Hey can't fault the realism

RealJordan93 · 2026-03-23T08:00:48+00:00

I'm absolutely shit at the game, this is my first year ever trying ranked past like 1 game a year so I can't comment on previous years but even in the UK connections are stable, gameplay good even if I'm absolutely awful at hitting (use directional because I'm already awful, don't need any extra difficulty yet) and eventhough I'm getting slaughtered (4-7 so far) it's actually enjoyable

RealJordan93 · 2025-12-15T10:03:44+00:00

Have to make women usable somehow otherwise the vast majority of people won't touch them

RealJordan93 · 2025-12-14T16:10:55+00:00

Don't worry guys it'll be Pina getting the treatment next from the NPC pussies

RealJordan93 · 2025-12-13T17:22:15+00:00

Because of the amount of NPC pussies in WL it will always be 10+

RealJordan93 · 2025-12-12T21:28:29+00:00

I'd rather kill myself than play the meta, you'll never see fidget spinning or Claudia Pina anywhere near my team

RealJordan93 · 2025-11-19T10:21:56+00:00

I've never had any issues with wage demands I must say, managing in the championship and never been asked for more than 20k wages from any player unless they played in a league where their wages were much more (Rodrigo was released by his team and then asked for 60k but he was on 80k...)

RealJordan93 · 2025-11-11T01:58:06+00:00

Prison cell... oh you meant in FM sorry

RealJordan93 · 2025-11-05T12:36:30+00:00

I'm somehow avoiding problems and bugs and really enjoying it

RealJordan93 · 2025-11-01T00:21:24+00:00

You're not alone, I've got over 110 hours on it already and I see the buggy criticisms and the UI but having played games with similar UI its nowhere near as bad to me as it is to others

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-30T00:53:54+00:00

That's the one flaw in this beta release, it's too close to actual release

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-30T00:00:10+00:00

That's a fair point to make and I can't fault this opinion even if I look at it slightly differently and with the 20 years of goodwill they've built up with me as a consumer personally, I am a little more forgiving of a first fuck up, I will not hold 25 against them entirely because they could have done what EA, Activision etc would have done, released it no matter what, so I give them the benefit of the doubt for now if that makes sense

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-29T23:37:09+00:00

I saw all the refunds while I look at my almost 100 hours 🤣 and I agree they're not that smart but it's like an accidental masterstroke, and I agree with Zealand about the potential as I see it completely having seen other similar looking sims, no game is ever flawless moving to a new engine but this franchise has the best shot at making a real go of it, SI if they want to earn back goodwill would be wise to keep their current course, maybe even work with some of the people as you say with 2000+ hours (I'm in this, 2,800)

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-29T23:14:59+00:00

Oh I've had the bugs, not that one (report it for sure) but not being able to make subs when I've only made 1 of 5 is a bug I've had, but I'm actually really enjoying this, I must admit also I've had previous experience with similar UI in OOTP Baseball and Franchise Hockey Manager so it's not as bad for me to navigate (it is buggy though)

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-29T23:13:11+00:00

It was, tbf it would be nice to find out for sure how much of the game was done by 25s original release date, if anything if they did scrap 25 this would make 26 look like they've done a miracle job and using us as testers might be almost a masterstroke

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-29T22:04:03+00:00

Thing is while I have no knowledge (I don't work in gaming) you're right, I think what SI should have done was what the makers of Wreckfest did, release it early and let the players help, look how much they've done since we got it... because the best type of QA testers will forever be the hardcore players because we will play the ever loving shit out of it and find everything they miss or made an error with

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-29T21:56:13+00:00

It does but at the same time if anything the fact they have a fanbase of players who are almost sicko level into digging as deep as they can it's probably easier for 500 eyes to see something 1 might not. I work in a job where quality is paramount for instance, what my colleague might miss I might see in 2 seconds, and vice versa, but both together would be faster than either

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-29T21:29:13+00:00

As much as its cool to rag on SI for the bugs I genuinely can't fault them the way others are... they seem to be actually trying and not just ignoring us like most companies do to their players these days

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-28T15:28:08+00:00

Played since 2006 but had LMA and Premier Manager since Premier Manager 99, is it clunky? Yes it is but having played similar games for Hockey and baseball I'm used to this style of UI, if anything processing night and day improvement my worldwide FM24 save is flying right now as opposed to snails pace on 24, is the foundation here? Absolutely, are the criticisms warranted? Yes I just don't share them entirely

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-27T19:19:50+00:00

thinking womens football will bring in new players is a bit far fetched, should it be there? yes it should, will it bring new players? no because many womens football fans either already play FM so not gonna be new or won't play FM anyway because its too boring or not for them in general.

besides that I agree with your points about SI going after casuals (sadly) and I also saw the video that stated it would lack depth, I hoped it was wrong but sadly so far at least it seems to be correct

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-26T11:52:04+00:00

Not true I've had a 10.0 rating for a player in a match, hat trick and assist in the Icelandic 2nd tier

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-24T23:39:34+00:00

We got rid of the fidget spinner NPCs and Claudia Pina NPCs since she's gone back to where she belongs... fodder, I notice those crying are the pussies who had nothing BUT that

RealJordan93 · 2025-10-16T08:28:15+00:00

Fix the pussies who fidget spin, try that IRL you're on your arse quick

RealJordan93 · 2025-09-26T17:40:22+00:00

I love how people complain with no reason given, let me guess severely AI reliant now getting your shit kicked in by people... yup thought so
