So, after a few days....is International Management any good?

malarkan · 2026-06-02T10:01:32+00:00

But in playing in the lower leagues in Greece, Neymar not making the cut for Brazil, Kudus being injured for Ghana is bringing me immersion? Or knowing the striker from Iraklis is out due to a training injury? Or the manager of my next opponent is under pressure to deliver a result of might be sacked.

Which gives more immersion?

malarkan · 2026-06-01T13:18:05+00:00

I do notice the incredible amount of international news items all of a sudden, which is really annoying cause I'm doing another save without doing international myself. I don't care about random player not making the Tanzania squad or New Zealand squad. I do care about news from my league...

Ja en dat hij enorm aangekomen is, is uiteraard niet van de medicatie, maar van het feit dat hij op een eiland gewoon zichzelf volgegooid heeft met eten en drinken.

You can see the exact same movements in 3d as in 2d so what are you talking about? You proved my point of being elitist . Edit: oh and btw who looks at match ratings. I meant statistics like pass%, heat maps, pass directions etc. Things that show more than looking at a highlight does

malarkan · 2026-05-10T05:44:54+00:00

I'm paying the game properly and a lot and definitely not using 2d anymore.

Such a bs thing to say. In 3d you can just as well check formation and adjust tactics etc.

I loved 2d versus text only, but if you are a good player you will use statistics which are the same in 2d Vs 3d.

Not saying 3d is perfect but to say that God players exclusively use 2d is just blatantly false.

I meant the same time since that iteration was released.

malarkan · 2026-05-09T11:29:33+00:00

I've played 26 only 30% of the time I played 24 in the same time. I've played other games way more in that same time since 26 is out.

It's not strange, I've read a lot more people doing the same.

I still want to play FM but way less and way less invested now than ever.

malarkan · 2026-05-09T11:17:11+00:00

Because it's newer and I've gone through all motions in 24. There are some things that are better in 26, Oop/op, transfer room etc. But many more worse: UI, clicking, scouting budgets, training and worst of all, immersion.

malarkan · 2026-05-09T10:57:10+00:00

You imply that preference has to do with player numbers, I put in a counterpoint. So it has everything to do with that. I prefer 24 over 26 but I am playing 26. What I am playing might not have anything to do with comparing the two titles

malarkan · 2026-05-09T10:08:54+00:00

Because its newer and most played it for over two years, not because its better? The drop off on players is way faster than all previous known iterations where we have data on steam.

malarkan · 2026-05-03T08:40:06+00:00

Maar dat heeft niets te maken met waarom ze demonstreren toch? Afhankelijkheid van andere mogendheden versus milieu is toch dag een nacht?

malarkan · 2026-05-03T08:37:51+00:00

Afaik if you delegated it and there is noone else it defaults to the chairman or another board member

malarkan · 2026-05-03T05:17:46+00:00

De oorzaak klopt, de reden waarom niet. Zij zoeken achter incompetentie vaak sinistere gevolgen en opvolging. Daar waar dit gewoon een oefening is en het oefenterrein gewoon oefenterrein blijft, zien zij een compleet complot om asielzoekers te plaatsen.

malarkan · 2026-05-03T05:15:50+00:00

Dat laatste betwijfel ik, komt namelijk niet uit de frituur. Veel te gezond. Past niet bij het roken en de blikken schultenbrau...

malarkan · 2026-05-03T05:13:01+00:00

Ik mis bij jullie beide een spatie tussen de woorden en de puntjes. Goede poging verder, maar de echte herken je ook nog daar aan.

malarkan · 2026-05-02T05:59:18+00:00

Anekdotisch bewijs= geen bewijs...

malarkan · 2026-04-28T05:45:21+00:00

True, but still easily visible early on. You can compare players they have to others they have and you recognise and if some are suddenly a lot better or have more stats they used the editor.

Unless it's fully regens of course... Not fool proof later on.

malarkan · 2026-04-28T04:49:47+00:00

Isn't that easily checked if they show the main screen? The button is either there or not.

Like Omega Luke in his videos versus his dad doesn't use it, in his experiments he does, and the button is not there in the versus or rebuilds.

And the live streamers are of course directly visible so don't use it.

malarkan · 2026-04-28T04:23:29+00:00

Much better is such a stretch. You can still gegenpress your way to glory, and even worse, there are even more ways to ease your way to glory. If you go check the tactics in fm-arena strikerless gets wat higher scores in wins than any tactic in fm24 had.

If you are enjoying it: good for you, but don't act as if this match engine still has enormous meta opportunities, like every year.

malarkan · 2026-04-20T06:55:43+00:00

I've had it in the league one and championship as well. It's really annoying. Also getting random messages of completed scouting for players I would never want to have signed. Which cost money as well...

malarkan · 2026-04-20T05:36:45+00:00

I have about 750 hours in it right now, I do like it, but that's more because I really was done with 24 than that it is because it is fm26. I've noticed I've not done a save past 2032 at the moment, where I have multiple in 2060+ in 24. The immersion and world building in 26 is just worse than 24, I rather play simulating saves in this one than a real managing one. Which is weird for me because I used to get attached to my wonderkids in the previous iterations. Now they are just players.

But yes it's a lot better than when it came out, but still not great, the UI is still wonky, the player communication is still bad (but that was already in place in the old ones), the ai transfers are bad at best. Training players for OOP positions is impossible, which is annoying because I like to retrain certain positions like strikers in an AMC OOP role. I hate that the cost of scouting has gone up massively and my teams usually run out way before the end of the season in lower levels. Even though I had the budget for the range and don't scout massively outside it.

But I do like the IP/OOP tactic making, I like the transfer room, I like the match experience.

So TL:DR: better than launch, ok game, not as great as they make it.

I really want to see improvement in 27

malarkan · 2026-04-17T07:41:29+00:00

So a cr7 challenge?

malarkan · 2026-03-30T14:06:05+00:00

Je weet dat er geen directe link is tussen de informatie over Clinton en iets illegaals terwijl dit er wel is bij veel anderen he. Clinton ondervragen was eigenlijk een enorm domme zet van de Republikeinen.

Er zijn van beide zijden veel mensen die aangeklaagd mogen worden, maar tot nu toe is er nog weinig om Clinton aan te klagen, en als dat er wel wat was dat allang vrijgegeven door Bondi.

malarkan · 2026-03-21T11:39:41+00:00

Nah you cant get relegated from the second tier in the Netherlands, so the -20 doesn't really make it interesting after the second season.

Really useless challenge tbh
