Thread: FM 25 cancelled.

  1. #1

    FM 25 cancelled.

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

    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
