As I recall they did branch out. Think it was ice hockey and it didn't work. Cost them a fair bit of cash.

I've not played FM regularly for years. My kids now play it and enjoy it. I loaded up a FM24 save and lost interest within an hour and haven't played it since. My viewpoint will be different from most on here who are proper fans. Id want less messages and less information. Less clutter. Ideally a game where I can feel like I'm involved in the end result and can play lots of games quickly. In my hours play at Bradford i don't think I even got through pre season. I think there's a lot of people put off by the scale of FM but equally for lots of people I guess that's what they enjoy. Good luck to the makers. Sure it'll be popular 👍

Long time lurker but have found this thread and the implosion to be pretty outstanding reading 😂 I remember the original CM upgrades and the Collyer brothers acknowledging they were self taught so the code was a mess and new developers being brought in. They'd come in and do interviews making out CM3 onwards would never have these issues as the code would be built up in a way that meant the code would be amended where needed so it was amusing to read all these years later the FM code is a mess. Traditionally the biggest asset SI has is their online community. It's a shame the game has been delayed but it's a bigger shame folk are being so aggressive. I think it's possible to be annoyed but also respectful to the makers of the game. I think ultimately SI will get it right because the online community will support the game as they always do. I look forward to reading this thread in six months and seeing how it's developed.
