HM786 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Any reason @Alex Pitt @Desmond Richardson @Neil Brock why FM touch isn't considered for Android quite a shame that it specially when there's a similar thing to Apple card on Android Google play pass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond Richardson Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Our decision to not release a Touch game on iOS or Android in 2021 was a difficult one to take and a disappointing one for some of our fans. Football Manager 2023 Touch is launching on Apple devices because we've signed an exclusive partnership with Apple Arcade, a move that makes sense for us as a studio and for the wider FM community. If you're looking for a similar gaming experience on your Android phone/tablet you can play FM23 Console via Xbox Cloud Gaming if you have an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

What are the plans for FMT returning to Android in the future? As a long term fan of FM (as far back as CM days), and as a tablet user with a job, wife and kids (i.e. no time or room for a laptop or console), it really is gut-wrenching that FMT on Android has been left in the shadows particularly when you see FM appearing on consoles!!

Desmond Richardson Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 As for the FM23 cycle, as I've mentioned, there are no plans to release FMT on Android for this year. With that being said, game development is an ever-changing landscape things may or may not change in the future. Never say never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtneedsaride Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks for the responses @Desmond Richardson. As an iOS user, I thought I had said goodbye to it forever on my iPad and lost hope for it ever gracing my iPhone. Then THIS happened! Maybe next year they’ll get a deal with both Apple and Google. Now, I’m a little more hopeful for all devices. But @daherlihy, i know how you feel. Last year I played FM the least in a long time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is if you pay monthly, You will pay £60 for an IOS game. You’d need the game to be a lot more regular updates than before unfortunately, as £60 is a huge amount of money. 😂 Edited September 15, 2022 by zakbrown96 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate - as jealous as I am of seeing FMT back on iOS and the FM on consoles, the former does offer a glimmer of hope. I am absolutely positive that there are more FM fans on Android and that will play it on Android then there will (be) on consoles. 11 hours ago, zakbrown96 said: My only concern is if you pay monthly, You will pay £60 for an IOS game.

That's correct. By subscribing you would be able to access the entire Apple Arcade library. You can also share your Apple Arcade subscription with your family too, with up to 6 people.Apple One is the ultimate collection of Apple services bundled together for one price. So for those of you who may pay for additional iCloud storage and Apple music separately etc, you can bring it all together under one umbrella.

I get arcade on my EE plan thankfully, never used it before now. I’ve got something to use it for, it would also seem you can pay for a years subscription at £50 which saves you about a tenner if you don’t want to pay £5 a month. Shame that no beta like full Fm as would have meant, People could’ve helped with bugs ready for full launch.

Why FMT is available on SWITCH,but unavailable on mobile phone? Mobile phone has enough performance and enough size of screen now.Most of them are bigger than 6.2,size of SWITCH's screen.

Let's be frank streaming is in no way "a similar gaming experience" and while the issue with the broken menu was belatedly fixed it is still a subpar experience. The entire point of FMT on portable devices was to enable FM to be played on the go which is curtailed by the streaming requirement. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malicious Penguin Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I'm assuming the fact that Android is much harder to program for given the wide array of tablets/phones played a part in this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guthrie Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Yet it doesn't stop countless other developers from achieving it. Some honesty from SI is required here. If they don't want to bother with Android (for whatever reason) then just say that. Stop with the BS crap about Xbox Cloud Gaming as it is not an equivalent experience.

Maybe just maybe Apple paid a big premium to have it exclusively as an arcade game whilst also offering staff to help make it, I might be completely wrong. But again we don’t have the numbers of sales as well from previous years. Edited September 18, 2022 by zakbrown96 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot easier to develop a game on a closed platform where it’s only on one console, than having to do loads for android, and the fact you can use the tv for a bigger and better experience, using the switch controller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
