  • FM 25 cancelled.

    A body blow from which they never recover or just a blip?

    Developer Sports Interactive says the 2025 edition was "too far away from the standards" fans deserve.

    Sounds more like bad planning by underestimating how long features would take to implement.

    It doesn't really have any competition and it's probably a bit of a cash cow so won't be going anywhere

        Yes, I agree.

          They've messed up pretty badly.

          If they'd done the norm for FM25- barely any changes under the bonnet but superficial tweaks - they could have sold it as normal while they got the new match engine ready. They made announcements that they couldn't keep up with and it's a costly error. Not just in revenue but reputation too.

            It'll recover I'm sure. Nothing else comes close. The issue I guess is funding as there's a whole years worth of sales gone I assume. Perhaps they can do an update to the latest one, I don't know?

            It's a huge balls up though.

              They can't renew the licences, SEGA will fund it though, it makes a fortune.

              FM26 has to be outstanding now, though
