@utdmax0 James Milner. Easy

A new game breaking bug @FM_Assist #fm26. After the newest update players randomly getting set as surplus to requirements and offered out after each game, ffs

[Adam Read @adamread]

@nocontextfm1 The most infuriating UI feature is the fact you can't see whether a player is interested on the scouting card without opening the full report.

[Adam Read @adamread]

New update and suddenly my unbeaten team is getting smashed left right and centre. I thought you improved defending? My team literally trot around watching the AI pick holes or play wonder passes over the top. Thanks a lot @FM_Assist @FootballManager #clowns #fm26.

[Adam Read @adamread]

Awful work on the match engine @FM_Assist. AI is now even more lethal than before. Every shot on target against me goes in with Diogo Costa in goal. My full backs are now terrible going forwards. You fixed crossing and made everything else worse. Top marks #fm26

@SecondYellowCrd @DoctorBenjy Hmm. Mine must be bugged then. It also seemed weird that my chairman was saying he was preparing these requests, but not my director of football. Guess I'll delete and try again. Cheers for replying

@DoctorBenjy @theoldzealand @WorkTheSpace @lollujo What's one feature removed in FM26 that you'd want SI to focus on bringing back asap, and what's one brand new feature you'd love to see released in FM27?

[Adam Read @adamread]

@DoctorBenjy 1) sort out the match engine. Woeful defending, strikers can't score. 30 shots a game and I'm lucky to score 1 goal, but then the next match it's 8...all the while the AI scores every chance.
2) Single click to set all players to train the current in and out of position roles

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FM_Assist Appreciate the honest post. Game is still enjoyable and I believe it'll get better through upcoming patches. Hopefully the team can get through the bugs and have more time to listen to feedback and work on the polish

[Adam Read @adamread]

@zonkilo00 @FootballManager This only happened for me once I downloaded a Knapp tactic. My team was awful before 🤣

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FootballManager Also the AI doesn't seem to struggle with this, even League1 players are lethal against me. Pretty much every attack by the AI ends in a goal. My defenders seem completely clueless even though they're far too good for the league & playing in familiar role/system

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FootballManager Goals seem very hard to come by. I'm getting 30 shots in a game and struggling to win 1-0 or 2-1. Finishing seems broken to me. Players with finishing stats of 14 should be able to hit the target more often than not.

Balance of the match engine needs some work.

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FM_Assist Online play is so broken, which is a worry so close to launch. Constant in-game freeze crashes. First game we played against each other would not get past 25 minutes. After 3 attempts we had to instant result it. Couldn't even do that without someone exiting the game. Dire state.

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FM_Assist I am hosting a private FM26 game, my friend was able to join several times over the last day, and now cannot. Hosting via Steam, both have latest update, timezones are correct. Don't have an option to invite via Steam either. Any ideas?

[Adam Read @adamread]

@WorkTheSpace Just find it frustratingly clunky amd over engineered. Trying to use the little arrows on the team/player instructions, and then thry move so u click the card. Sigh. Also having to continue before adjusted budgets can impact contracts etc is just poor.

[Adam Read @adamread]

@has17__ @Chrizzmeister @WorkTheSpace +1 to this. UI was fine in fm24, with the flexibility for personalisation via skins. I get the desire to move to Unity, but they should have just rebuilt it with the same or tweaked UI

[Adam Read @adamread]

@WorkTheSpace @FootballManager It's live

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FootballManager It's live. Restart steam everyobe

[Adam Read @adamread]

@FootballManager Watch steam bottleneck the crap out of the download if it does even drop tonight...
