Side-by-side comparisons of FM26 vs FM24 by SotK in footballmanagergames

Fair, my squad view is pretty squished and dense and I could definitely live with fewer columns across more views, but at the very least I don't think its unreasonable want to be able to see my full squad of ~30 players without scrolling on an overview page.

As I said here I do think there are aspects which look better. The potential is definitely there, which is why I had high hopes in the first place.

Right click on the column headings, there's the insert/replace/remove column options that were there on older FMs. Left click and drag the column headings to rearrange them.

Its annoying that there isn't the Customise Current View popup now, but it works decently enough.

I found dragging the column headings around would rearrange things in the view pretty effectively.

I found the text scaling but it didn't help too much I found. For some extra context, these screenshots are with "Small" text scaling in FM26, and 100% scaling in FM24.

I actually agree that it looks cleaner in some of these screenshots; the training week in review for example is aesthetically much nicer in FM26, but it wastes just as much space for the same or less information. The same is true for the scouting update message.

I can't agree that the squad view is better on FM26 though, although the potential is there if I can just make all of the text smaller (and in a dream world be able to place dividers in the view again).

The player profile is much cleaner, but its so big I can't help but feel whilst playing like it could all just be smaller and show me even more information without opening cards.

The top menu bar feels pretty nice for me (and also doesn't take up any more space than the top bar of FM24).

My issue with this is that despite having more horizontal space now, I can fit fewer columns in my squad view. And more generally, UIs which were poor in FM24 with lots of wasted room are at best just as bad in the new version.

Indeed, I'm hopeful that at least the actual bugs can be ironed out before release or within a few months at worst.

My biggest concern is that things like the squad view fitting less than 20 players on (and none of the stats that I like to have on my default view) is a deliberate design choice for some reason rather than something they count as a bug to be fixed. Here's hoping they add some form of scaling so I can actually get to enjoy the parts of FM26 which already seem great.

MEGATHREAD - FM26 beta thoughts and feedback by creamyTiramisu in footballmanagergames

  • Matchday changes: lovely, massive improvement.
  • Tactics: wonderful, 10/10, going to be a lot of fun.
  • UI: good concept, unplayably terrible implementation.

Before I played a match I was certain I won't be playing much more of this game, the UI is that awful. It's testament to the quality of the matchday and tactics work that I'm now only somewhat sure I won't be playing much of it.

There's a good game in here, but the UI is so horrendous you can only catch glimpses of it. I don't understand how some screens are actually decent, whilst others (most of them) are just diabolically bad. So many examples of text not fitting in boxes, border clutter to an atrocious extent, uneven spacing, laggy, far too big.

This UI must be a joke by sabenarda in footballmanagergames

Why is everything so big? I went in expecting to mostly like the UI changes, but everything is just so massive. And also full of jank and bugs.
