The switch to the new engine marks a huge technical leap: smoother animations, realistic stadiums, and a modern presentation.
Official Premier League license
Introduction of women's football
Management depth unchanged

Sporadic crashes, graphical errors, and slow loading times reduce the smoothness of the experience.
Redesigned but scattered interface
Optimization to be improved
Lack of certain classic features: management of national teams and other secondary content will only arrive with future patches.

Lots of bugs that need ironing out
Needs a fair few patches to reach its full potential
International management is missing, but is returning in a free update in 2026
Some players may lose patience with the new layout

The progress on match day is evident: it was worth the wait.
The sum of new very important licenses, especially the Premier League.
The tactic progresses with formations and roles with and without possession.
Workforce planner and depth in research allow for the construction of longer-term projects.

Interface somewhat overloaded in several sections, such as the main portal.
Some occasional bugs, even though it is in beta phase.
The match is so exciting and fun that you might want to fast forward time between the two too quickly.

Tutorials make it easier to get started.
Many tasks can be delegated to employees.
Despite the new user interface, still a typical element of the series.
Hundreds of hours of gameplay are possible.
Even after many hours, we still discover new options.
There is no more demanding football manager.
Different tactics with the ball and without the ball
Tactical instructions are effectively implemented in the game.
Exciting matches
Tiles are more aesthetic than paintings...

Delicate control unit
With the controller, not all sub-points open.
FMPedia in its current form is useless.
The range could discourage beginners.
Many errors tarnish the gaming experience.
Coaches can be annoying.
Some expensive features have disappeared.
The game crashes from time to time.
Many inconsistencies
Too many aluminum hits in the games.
The second teams are often useless.
...but the clarity is lost
...but not significantly better.
The new user interface is not always logical.
Window not always accessible via the back button
The soundtrack remains disappointing.
