Double D doesn't arrive until mid september for some reason!

That is a bug rather than a data error, because he is set to return in late July in the database.

It's like no longer having a next unread button for messages.

You mean this big purple button that you click and it brings up the next unread message?

It wasn't an unreasonable request.

- You claimed the game was dumbed down.

- You were asked what about the game was dumbed down.

- You refuse to do so.

Half the features from 24 are missing. Where is youth development, touch maps, heat maps, there is little to no skinning and modding available. It's a console game and everybody knows it. 

A slap in the face for everybody who has bought the game year on year. Surely you can't defend it?.

Tried the demo, it wasn't for me at all.

Clunky horrid interface that we can't change with a new skin. Back to FM24 for me, and I hope FM27 is an improvement.

Found another great bug. 
 

Started a new season with Saints on beta 2.0 release day. 
 

Won the league on the last day of the season, no trophy lift, no celebrations and the post match team talk options were all about losing the title and not getting promoted and how they had let me down  

 

Great game 10/10

Are you reporting the bugs you find?

Game breaker for me just hit...In March of first season, get to a match day, the tactic is all corrupted with only three players showing on the graphic, i select a team but it wont let me go to the match because it says i have not selected a GK. 

Closed/Reloaded

Gone back a save point and get to same game to same issue. 

10/10 release.

Can you go on a days holiday to get past that game?

I always laugh when they release beta codes for fans a month or so before game release, yet only three people get them.

Take EA for example, you get absolute mugs that pay for early access a week before and the game is littered with bugs.

You basically pay an extra £30 to be a glorified beta tester a week before mass release.

There is no extra cost to get FM early.

They took the report bugs feature away when they pretended the game was finished and ready for release.

Are you on version 26.0.4?

Have you logged the bug on the forums?

You can report bugs on the forums, here...

If you keep them to yourself they might not be found as it is a game with so many variables.

I’ve not said that. I used EA as an example.

I’ve stopped buying a lot of the games until a month or two after release, that way a lot of bugs are generally ironed out by then.

I must admit from the early reviews I’ve read of FM26, they’re very mixed

I might be sad enough to post on a saints forum, if you think I’m joining an FM one you better think again.

Got to say I'm disappointed with the "all new" graphics. Not the most important part of the game, granted, but I'm guessing it was a big part of the delay and it still looks like the players are waddling around with shit in their drawers, no accurate animations. 

But at least they've put in the womens leagues... fuck sake
