Working on a blog for FM content - feel free to check it out, I am almost certain some of it doesn't work :D

Plenty of time now!

Unfortunate - but likely for the best long term.

Content creators who rely on the game will struggle - but if they are good enough at content they’ll get by.

Idiots asking for compensation - you’ll get a refund, you’re owed nothing more.

Don’t worry. I’ve just deleted FM24 and all associated files to clean up my PC - so we will get news now.

For sure. Alexa at 30 would have slapped.

Stay tuned for The Rock at 31 in the men’s. Very ‘final boss’ kinda move.

I was expecting becky. I think AJ is just fans fantasy booking haha. Would be awesome but she has said lots of times she’s done.

No pop. Haha.

Although Alexa got a good pop.

🤣

Yeah it is odd. But it’s SI, so not as odd as you might think.

They’re notoriously bad communicators - it’s the thing they need to work on the most.

My assumption would be that they’d like for people to give what they reveal undivided attention. Maybe they didn’t think they’d get that bang for their buck while competing football transfer market news.

Just a theory - probably equally as solid as what others are assuming. Lol

It may have been in place - and then the delay may have impacted it.

What I know for sure is we don’t know until we are told - until someone from SI announces it won’t drop in March, I’m prepared for March.

The delayed comms could have something to do with the real life transfer window.

May also be that there is a licensing issues - which some people are saying (despite likely having no clue).

There’s definitely a reason for the silence.

It’s like I said to someone else - if they were to say ‘sorry not quite ready to show anything’ to which they’d see the same middle aged man meltdowns.

Why bother?

I did.

The fact you’d mention critical thinking after your emotion driven dribble is also wild.

Very reasonable.

They’ve never been good with communication.

Some of the people posting about it though - goodness me. I don’t think they’ve seen real grass in years.

Why terrible? Cos they didn’t say anything at a timeline that they mentioned and the community held them to as though it was legally binding?

Wildly entitled.

We are 10 months out from FM26.

Even at the end of March it will still have 8 months.

Your statement is devoid of any logic.

They’ve never been super good with communications.

You’re right. It is none of my concerns.

Pretend outrage and people ‘sitting this one out’ dominating my newsfeed on multiple platforms - that is my concern.

I truly hope you do sit it out becuase the whinging that is sure to follow the release when things aren’t as you wish is also predictable

I just - as a grown adult with a wife, house, job and life - find it hard to relate to the angst associated with this.

When it comes it’ll get 1000 hours of my time for sure but I guess I’m just too busy to get myself wound up and start checking fiscal outlooks and profit and loss data.

The ‘missing a deadline’ thing is a storm in a teacup.

I think it was only a deadline to some - to others a guide.

It could be that SI make a loss a lot of years.

Big businesses and tax - lots of ways to get around paying it.

And you know this because you’ve tested the release day game?

I’m 99% sure that you, and most others like you who hold these opinions will also purchase the game when it comes out. Which is why I’m always baffled at the performative way in which people behave around delayed video games.

Release isn’t cancelled.

Unless I missed a wild announcement about cancelling it in the past couple days. As far as we know it’s a March release.

Did they factor in the profit/loss of SEGA?

I just want them to drop the game so people are too busy for super sleuth Sunday accounting. Lol

Not worth releasing it 10 months out from the next?

Wildly silly take.

Yeah. It’s a repeat of when the game got delayed.

I understand content creators being outraged - it is their living, also they make money off the outrage and then off the release.

Normal folk being outraged - just play another game.

How does this person know this is the case? Like, who did he hear it from?

Feels like make believe.

That there is a meltdown happening at all is pretty laughable.

People mustn’t have jobs or lives.
