  1. I've bought every FMM since, Idk, back when Bobby Zamora was a goal machine. For the first time, I am seriously doubting I'll buy the next year's installment. I don't think a blog post explaining why the decision was made--unless there is some AMAZING, unheard-of benefit to gamers--will convince me. It adds an unnecessary step in getting the game, seems to lock me into a broader Netflix subscription, and is a bad direction.

    It's also bad PR to just promise a blog post that will solve all doubts as if you can't tweet more than once.

    And, frankly, how many threads here hit 3 pages this fast? People have serious questions that do not seem to be taken seriously. That in itself is a bad sign.

  2. I am coaching Tamworth in the VNN. The season is going great (lost in FA Cup but progressing in the FA Trophy, #1 in the league, good squad morale and excellent finances), but after a Championship side offered me a job, which I declined, my Board Confidence tanked. It is currently an overall "D" (it was an "F") last month. Granted, "Rich Benefactor" is unlocked, but I'm wondering if this is a bug as I have always had good marks from the board (screenshot of recent results for a sense of how the season is going).

  3. Has anyone else found being unemployed at the start of the game harder? I've run through 7-10 starts with different leagues, but jobs opening up are much rarer in this version. Like, there is 1-2 Premiere League jobs open in the first year in about 2/3 of my tries (the other 1/3 being none, or 1 at the end of the season). This seems not only unlike the actual league, where there is a lot of turnover, but also a lot less fun!

  4. What is the icon by a player listing that looks like two circular arrows?

    I am familiar with the icons like the exclamation point indicating something going on with the player and the arrow to indicate someone is interested in them, but I have not seen this in earlier versions, nor can I find anything particular in their Personal, etc. tabs that suggests it is tied to something specific. I've googled and looked through the manual, so I figured maybe someone here can be like, "duh, it's BLANK"!

    For clarity, here's a pic with my team and it's the icon on Buur, Jordão, Traoré, etc.

  5. Is Sugar Daddy unlockable this time around?

    I'm currently at the start of the 2026-2027 Season with Wolves and have not received the option to let the billionaire takeover happen (though I did get the "owe you one" last season). In the meantime, I have won:

    EPL x5

    FA Cup x3

    CC x3

    Champions League x3

    Europa Leage x2

    CWC x1 (oddly the weren't held for a couple of years?)

    Euro Super Cup x2

    Comm Shield x3

    And, if it matters, I have also been managing national teams for most of my time as Wolves manager.

     

  6. As a long-time player, I really enjoy every year's improved version. My wishlist largely consists of things that improve long-term play and promotes nuanced relationships with players, press, board, and staff. I love the game, but tend to get bored by each game after about year 2 or 3. That said, I'm still playing 14 nearly every day and it's almost August!

    I would most like to see:

    1. More board/press dialogues that have consequences regarding funds, team spirit, board confidence, and other managers/teams.

    2. An ability to search for particular staff, with an appropriate budget.

    3. Failing that, more infrastructure than just training ground + academy + stadium!

    4. I think there's been some talk of this, but a kind of in-season challenges. Some rewards/consequences for getting through particular difficulties and crises.

    5. I haven't noticed the fan reactions mattering much. It'd be great to see that more prominent.

    In general, anything that makes my job harder would be great!
