That doesn't sound too great. Are you still having fun? As you mentioned you don't care about some of the stuff that's missing, or is it too broke for even that?
I'm still having fun, yeah. The game is frustrating at times because the bugs and lack of features are so plainly obvious that it feels like no one at the studio bothered to play the game prior to release. However, despite all that this year's FM has made progress in all the areas I care most about which is unusual. I've been playing the series since 2004/05, so when I got hooked it was a much simpler game. I dont need a lot of the broken stuff to have fun.
EDIT: I should add for context: FM 25 was actually cancelled because they couldn't finish it in time, so this year's game has been worked on full-time for at least two years. The big transition to Unity they've had so many issues with has been planned since 2022, with part of the team working on it since then. That's why the state of FM 26 is kinda shocking to everyone.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the context. And glad that you are still enjoying it.
