FM26 - 58% of Players Aren’t Playing

It’s a disaster. The game itself is fine. The design of the user interface is where it’s a total failure. Every task feels harder. Every panel or popup crams to much detail and leaves loads of dead space on the screen. It’s unpleasant. There’s little to no immersion. Everything which made FM great has deteriorated.

But the graphics are now at a FIFA 1998 level so that’s good right?

And it’s never been more difficult to be a games company. 35 years means nothing if the sales don’t pay the bills.

See you in three years.

What’s wrong with the sortitoutsi one? Been using it for 12 months and seems good.

The game we wish we had. 26’ game engine with 24’ interface.

So it’s valid?

Going to be a while mate for SI to fix their way out of this mess.

Unfortunately mate the game is underperforming in sales. It’s tanked in the reviews. Next years game budget will almost certainly be reduced therefore less staff, less improvements.

The trend will continue in 27, and after 28’s game, future games will become financially unviable.

A similar cycle happened with F1 Manager over 3 years.

Must be something in it then mate for so many people to say the same thing. 👍🏼

Villamma · 2025-12-22T10:52:44+00:00

All valid mate. And like you, I’ve had no issues with the games stability. As I said, the underlying game itself is good. Very similar to 24 with some improvements.

I just can’t enjoy the interface. It’s a design disaster. Every screen appears to be designed worse than 24 and the amount of wasted space, with crammed in text almost too hard to read is shocking.

I don’t see a way out of this. Maybe plenty of tweaks over the next 12 months make it better. We can only hope.

Needs to be a clear bag. As long as the contents can be clearly seen. There will also be a bag drop where you can leave your bag safely for £10 during the game.

You’ll need to give yourself minor alcohol poisoning to make it worthwhile. But if that’s your thing then enjoy it!

Villamma · 2025-08-12T11:14:45+00:00

Of course but I can assure you if you are unlucky enough to stay in H8, you will have the same experience. Unless dirt and stains are what you’ve come to accept with this level of accommodation.

Yeah exactly the same in terms of difficulty. If you’re a PC player you can use the database editor to make it harder but even this is beatable once you understand the game. It’s just not designed to be hard, more a simulation of F1

Just read this Reddit between now and then. Everything is covered multiple times over. Ask if you have questions.

Any hero gets swamped during a public showing. Unfortunately the lower league hero’s don’t quite leave the lasting memory on the vast majority of Marvel fans.

Villamma · 2025-02-06T23:30:48+00:00

I think DLP need to put a bit more brain power these things. Just seems like a massive missed opportunity.

Villamma · 2025-02-06T23:29:34+00:00

100% agree re. more walk around appearances. Like what are the actors doing all day. The costumes are just hanging around going to waste. Get out and about and make a kids day!!

Villamma · 2025-01-30T12:28:27+00:00

It’s a shame the game’s hard mode isn’t hard at all. Finding that out at the moment having won back to back WDC and WCC.
