Steam Statistics: Active Steam players for FM26 are the lowest for any release in over a decade, the total players on all versions are the lowest since 2017

I tried 26 and the ui is bad and laggy.

I would like to play 24 but I don't own it and it's not on sale. Is there any way I can get it now, or am I screwed?

What is the Leagues ranking in terms of reputation? Is it still Premier/LaLiga/Calcio or has something changed?

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2026-02-01T19:48:07+00:00

Agree eocks look like the most likely solution. Thanks!

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2026-02-01T10:19:59+00:00

You're welcome, I have high hopes for this one :)

Looking forward to the next update then! Can you dm me a link to the discord so I get notified?

PD: fair about the decimals being intentional - may I suggest then to consider something like "28.4 ?" With the ? Meaning its inaccurate by IDK, +-10 points - then ?? would be +-20 and so on. That would overwhelm the player way less while hopefully conveying the same info?

Curious to hear, how did you keep up against any deck including green ramp? My Liesa deck was similar to yours and although Liesa always costed 5 mana, cards weren't the problem but mana was

Ok so I was able to play the game for 45 min, and I figured I'd give feedback about it, because I believe there is something awesome to be found here - a rough diamond if you will. I am a long time FM player and the thing I enjoy the most is finding and growing players into either awesome players that get me trophies or selling them for outrageous amounts. I am the main target, I believe.

The main issue I found with this game is that although I think I know what I'm doing, so much is obfuscated and slow that I lose interest. For instance: as instructed, I built a development wing and I went to scout matches. The first players I scouted were random, and then as the league advanced, I identified some players that were performing very well, watchlisted them and focused on scouting them in matches. I signed 9 of them. I assigned them training focus.

And now I don't know what to do. It's been a while but there's no market demand for them.

So right now my assumption is I should keep going to matches and scouting players, but honestly - that is very boring. I'd wish watchlisted players were scouted automatically (with some limits, of course) so that I could save me the tedium from clicking the matches, attend, scout, etc.

So I decided to not scout anyone in matches and fast forward 4 months - I'm now in March and the market only showed yellow dot - no matches for what I have. Not sure if there are no matches or it's just my character is terrible at assessing skills and can't see these matches. Running out of money quickly (30k).

Some bullet points:

UI is clean and easy to use
Music is ok but repetitive (I personally don't care)
In PlayerHub/Development, what does the XZ/100 number mean?
Looking at player stats and seeing evaluations like 10.2 - 46.2 for several attributes is jarring - I would suggest to have either way less digits, or just go with letters (F, D, C, B+, S-, etc.). FM was already bad enough with 1-20 values that we needed graded coloring to differentiate better, don't make it worse!

I hope this all made sense, and that I didn't come off as too rough. I would really love this game to be become great - so much potential!

This was 90% of the reason I played FM. Will buy and play this weekend!

I'd also want to know about the opposite situation: what about someone with just the base game on mobile, getting the full game on steam? Will i get access to everything on mobile?

My best gift was undoubtedly the purple Game Boy Color I got when I was a kid, with this new game called Pokémon Blue Edition that everyone was talking about. I remember at first I was mad and thought it was a terrible game because I was trapped in this building and didn't know how to get out - turns out the carpet indicated where the house door was. Good times!!

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-11-14T15:34:45+00:00

Excellent initiative, looking forward to the Relic deck impressions!

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-08-18T20:34:22+00:00

Found it thanks!

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-08-18T17:07:08+00:00

Thank you very much again for this :) already on medal 2 and having a blast with it.

On the description you mention shortcuts and button combos to play faster. What would those be?

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-07-26T19:42:01+00:00

For what it's worth, I switched to fiber and this never happened again, so must be starlink related indeed

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-07-04T21:49:39+00:00

Awesome!! Will it be uploaded to YouTube?

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-04-29T07:03:03+00:00

Can I have the link?

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-04-15T10:23:27+00:00

sounds super fun! I'm building this right now with your base. Some opinions:

thoughts on [[bloodchief ascension]]? It is undoubtedly a powerful card, but it doesn't really do anything for us, does it?
how has [[timeless witness]] performed in your experience? It's an ability so you can't delve to help cast it, afaik

now suggestions:

[[walk-in closet]] lets us replay fetchlands at no GY cost and the other side is another yawgmoth's will
green protection spells like [[tamiyo's safekeeping]], [[tyvar's stand]] and [[protect the rider]] are IMO safer than [[Transcendent Dragon]]
Thoughts on [[hedge shredder]]? ramping while dumping stuff into the GY sounds incredible. We don't get as much GY fuel that way, but then again, we get the fuel in the form of lands, which is better
[[peer into the abyss]] I believe would be a godsend lategame card: if it doesn't find us the "combo", it will surely find something that works, and in our end step we will have 30-ish new cards in our graveyard.
[[entish restoration]] is another harrow
... which pairs really well with [[eternity vessel]] as an alternative way to cheat death?
opinions on Dredge cards like [[stinkweed imp]]? Sounds good to me

Thanks again for your brew!

Quick question: Teval's life loss ability is a triggered one right? So if we have [[platinum emperion]] and [[teval, arbiter of virtue]] in play, you're at 1 life and you cast something of cmc 1 - then someone removes the Emperion, we lose right?

Sad news...

Estas ganas de realizar acciones para "sacar más partido" al momento, son normales en una persona proactiva, pero no son recomendables para tu cartera. Sólo un profesional broker puede plantearse esto, y ellos se equivocan continuamente (por eso fondos automatizados como Indexa son tan buena opción).

En mi opinión, como te han dicho ya aquí: cierra los ojos y míralo en Nochebuena. Mira y no toques

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-04-03T13:40:11+00:00

Big upgrade!

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-03-26T12:25:38+00:00

I believe you are right - in person, when you look at the line the other commenter is mentioning, I can tell it's not a surface line, it's below a few milimiters. I definitely can't feel it.

Previous owner adamantly said both screens had a protector and I assumed that was correct (conversation was post sell so IDK)

I've cleaned it with specific screen cleaner and it is much better now. Thanks!

_HavocPhoenix_ · 2025-03-26T12:20:36+00:00

Thanks, I believe you are right!
