I like to start a new career and go online to find the best players to purchase for a bargain but with high potential. I can't find any. I think they use a smaller database of players for this version of FM. Doesn't fit the way i like to play it.
FM26 Touch is an insult to the customers
FHABFAKWCSJS SH
Game doesn’t even work without unreal lag, many screens are completely unresponsive to touch information, hundreds and hundreds of bugs, random crashes, missing features. The experience of playing the game is overall dreadful and its an insult to all paying customers from Apple and SI that not only FM26 Touch was released in this state, but there has been no emergency hot fix for the hundreds of bugs and basic issues that makes playing the game impossible like how scrolling through screens is genuinely impossible, or buttons vanishing off the UI when you swipe or scroll a specific way. How there is no communication about the current condition of this game let alone no hot fix. Its a complete disgrace, its slightly close to tolerable when playing on Mac but this is unacceptable and a disgrace from SI and from apple for allowing customers to pay a for a “game” so far from being close to functional let alone enjoyable
Totally Frustration !!!
Edvad
I’ve been a huge fan of FM games and after such a nice FM24 version I waited all that time to be released of the new version of the game but the FM26 is worse than Fm24 at many ways. I feel sorry to say that to people who is working hard to develop for this game but I have to say it as a final user. The game full of bugs, UI is so complicated and non-user friendly, graphs are literally makes headache. And finally last event brings me here to give this review. I’ve spent almost one and half hour to enjoy my night with a champions league quarter final game, I’ve set all my tactics. My team played a great game and won 4-2, then the game crashed and kick me out of the main screen at the end of the game. I’ve shocked. Totally waste my night. Every update it gets worser. It’s sad to say but this game is not FM fans was waiting for. Full of frustration!
Forewarning on the experience and bugs
Joepez
I really enjoyed previous FM years, but 26 is a rough one. I’m playing on both Mac and iPad, and the experience is the same as are the bugs. There are lots of bugs and some crashes so be forewarned. One of the worst if you intend to cross play is when you manually save. Sometimes you’ll get a hard lock in the game as it throws a save error to iCloud, presents and Ok box to close the error, and then locks out any interaction. You have to force quit on the Mac and kill the app on iPad. Also your save gets lost and you need to restore from a previous. So change your auto save to daily or risk losing all progress randomly when you save on quit. Another annoying bug can be when subbing players. Sometimes you’ll click Sub-Out on an active player, and you’ll see your full list of subs, sometimes the relevant ones, and sometimes random players (I had a GK show up for ST). There are loads of UX challenges as the game tries to maintain the same interface between devices. So be prepared to do a load of clicking/tapping to get to buried menus (ex: Finding your affiliate teams like youth team lineup can be an exercise in 4-5 clicks). The In and Out of possession tactics is nice, but you get little guidance on how to best setup your team, so investigate who is going where because you may be sub-optimized. Oh and the Mac version honest work with community mods, at least not that I’ve seen. Instant crash. I hope there’s a lot more bug fixes and improvements coming.EDIT: With the latest update the lock/corrupt on save problem has gotten worse. I can’t go more than 2 matches without it hitting and ruining my game. Also there are now players getting randomly moved around in my formations.
