This game has two problems. Firstly it is simply not ready. Full of bugs, constantly crashing, game animation stutters, easy to get stuck in screens requiring a restart, the list of functional issues goes on and on. It should not have been released in this state. It is criminal to ask people to pay for a game that is this buggy and close to unplayable. Secondly the game itself (when it’s not crashing) is a poor experience. The UI is unnavigable. Useful functions like customisable views have been removed. Enjoyable features like deadline day have been removed. I love football manager and have been playing it for years. FM24 was a great experience. FM26 could not have been a worse one.

Horrendous

Full of bugs, constantly jittering during matches and the in game simulation is just awful. Not one single thing is better than FM24 and this took 2 years to develop? Massive, drastic update needed ASAP, complete waste of money until then.
