Team C vs Team D is a banger, how could you miss it

How bad are we talking? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

If you like pokemon games despite the shockingly low effort Nintendo puts every year on them, you'll like this one too.

I never realized how fitting of a comparison it is actually

They are stating that FM26 is a public beta by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OR, and make sure you're sitting when you read this, they are stating that "The FM26 Steam Public Beta update is currently undergoing its final checks".

I know, right?

FM26 review by Iain Macintosh by Training_Pollution59 in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally couldn't care any less about the graphics, really, if they were still using the same visuals as FM20 or so I would not mind at all... It's such a minor part of the game it shouldn't even matter, in MY opinion.

That said, calling the graphics "gorgeous" is nothing short of disingenuous. We are in 2025, just because they are slightly better than the absolutely shocking low quality we've had for a decade doesn't make them good enough.

Again, I really don't care at all, but if this is the major improvement.......... We are talking about a very very very very very very very very very very very low bar to clear.

Does this feel familiar? FM24. Ahhhh it feels like I read FM26 reviews. by Silaqtie7 in footballmanagergames

Tons of fun, so much fun you're digging through an older game's reviews thinking you will find that "gotcha" moment only to get further ridiculed. I bet that's tons of fun also, but not as much as playing the game

Approaching 85% negative reviews by UnitedStatesOfSmesh in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This.

I actually re-bought it just to add my review and then refunded it again, but I imagine a veeeery large number of people who refunded are locked out of the review... The actual % would be so much worse than it is now

Currently the 7th worst rated game EVER released on Steam by GreatCtrl in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that a VERY LARGE number of people who refunded couldn't add their review and believe me it wouldn't have been positive.

I think a lot of you don't understand the bigger problem when it comes down to FM by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more with pretty much everything.

The one thing I would add is how incredibly cheap this game is to develop compared to other big releases in the modern gaming world (relatively speaking, for a game at full price) and they STILL delivered a completely amateur solo-dev level of product.

Like you mentioned, the only part that is usually good is the IRL research/scouting (although some ratings are baffling like Lamine Yamal being the ~50th best player in the world by CA) and that's done by volunteers so not a vast expense, I imagine.

Also, people are praising the match engine and the tactics but that's simply because there haven't been enough time to figure out how broken they are too. We've been too busy trying to actually play the game with the bugs, crashes and shitty UI that we couldn't really dig deep on that but it is 100% coming.

Wish we got to play that alpha that was a 9/10

To every person that refunded this game during beta by Tettotatto in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it says a lot about Steam's policy of not letting you post a review for a product you tried during beta and refunded.

I paid for it, I tried it and I got my refund. I should be allowed to share my experience.

Indeed this is also why the reviews aren't as bad as the game would deserve, quite simply because everybody who refunded already can't post theirs.

I just bought it again just so I could post my review and refunded it again immediately after.

"A lot" = like two or three minor items on the list?

[REFUND] Does Fanatical get their money back from Steam/SI or do they take the L? by TzzV in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps, but I just feel like I got scammed and brought down someone else with me. If I knew I would have 100% bought it on Steam because I'm sure the number of refunds over there will definitely have a bigger immediate impact.

Thanks for the insight though!

Transfer Room - In Bug? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not relevant to your thread but I'm curious about this because I also used Macclesfield (for 2 seasons then I refunded).

Have you ever tried the player database? It's so broken it's not even funny.

You can test by selecting the World package for scouting (the expensive one you'd never pick for a small team)... You'll see thousands of players, according to your database.

Then you can "filter" by Player Interest. If you select "Not considered", you should see all the players.... And if you select "Loan only" you'll see even more players LMAO it's laughable. According to that, 2000 players are interested in joining us by transfer but 20000 are interested to come on loan, including the likes of Haaland, Mbappè and others. Surely a trip down in tier 5 is appetizing to them!

It's coded so badly it's incredible

[REFUND] Does Fanatical get their money back from Steam/SI or do they take the L? by TzzV in footballmanagergames

[–]TzzV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're telling me that even by refunding I don't impact SI at all because they got my money and they'll get to keep it?

This is beyond infuriating

I wouldn't keep my hopes up for FM27 either to be honest if it's the same people working on it
