@DoctorBenjy What was broken about it? We were trying to play a week or so ago and some people would get freezes mid game if they weren't the host. Seemed less frequent recently though
English

@DoctorBenjy Any news on if multiplayer games actually work yet? My experience is that anyone who isn't the host just freezes during the first half of a match
English

@DoctorBenjy It's not acceptable that network games/multiplayer games are still broken
English

'This update delivers over three hundred fixes and quality of life improvements, with the most notable enhancements outlined below. Key highlights include new preferences for adjusting attribute colours, a preference to turn off/alter the speed of UI transitions, as well as a 1.5x Match Speed option, all introduced in response to your early beta feedback' #FM26

The Patch is out #FM26 We're going through it live
English

@BigMeatie It's about the quantity and prevalence of bugs that everyone is experiencing, obviously
English

One thing I'm noticing about the criticism of the #FM26 release, is a complete false memory of previous FM releases.
To my memory, every FM has released with major bugs. Be that UI, match engine, or crash issues. Bugs and issues that continued well into the March patch, and unfortunately beyond, too. There are likely still issues with FM24 that never was resolved, and was just accepted as that was the final state of the game.
Does this mean that Sports Interactive should get a free pass for the state of the game on release? Absolutely not. But lets not pretend like this is a completely new phenomenon.
The memes are great though, keep those rolling.
English

@WorkTheSpace This visual is exactly what I've wanted for so long, too much time spent on FM24 just trying to work out wtf my players are moving to and when
English

Just on formations in #FM26, I've seen a lot of confusion.
Whilst I'm using a 4-2-3-1 here as my in possession formation, it's just my starting shape in attack. Player roles will still massively determine how players move during play. The visualiser is great at showing it.



Jack@WorkTheSpace
This was the tactic I was using. ♟️ A very fluid 4-2-3-1 using a Free Role and a Box-to-Box Playmaker to create overloads with a False 9 dropping deep. Wide forwards provide a direct scoring threat. We form a narrow 4-4-2 to press high, aiming to funnel teams wide, but will drop into a compact 4-2-3-1 when defending deeper. It was a lot of fun and produced some really nice passing goals.
English

Getting early access to FM26 means you’re trusted to help improve the game - not leak it for clout.
And giving those leaks attention doesn’t help either. It just rewards the ones who broke that trust.

@Elite5002 @lol_vladmidir CAN ONE OF YOU PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHAT RUNES ARE ALWAYS GOOD TO GO ON THIS BIPOLAR CHAMP
English

@DoctorBenjy It's unacceptable that SI hasn't booked out and invited us to a stadium for Miles to announce the beta release date on stage in a black turtleneck
English

I do like how everyone says 'SI aren't communicating'
They've never communicated an early access date, and why would they bother when Epic appears to leak it every year anyway hahaha
Ben Carr@DoctorBenjy
Not today, obviously.
English

@DoctorBenjy @ArmstrongFM7 @HowWeRollEoghan @FootballManager Yeah I mean fair, I understand that you have a vested interest because of the streamer showdown and some communication would be nice considering other communication issues that happened recently lol
English

@ArmstrongFM7 @TheHolyWACK @HowWeRollEoghan @FootballManager What's misleading, is FM not tagging their fucking game properly for new and existing players. Your frustration is so misguided here folks.
English

It is mental to cause panic like this based on just the tags! Most basic search will tell you it is the same on FM 24,23,22,21, etc.
I am not here to defend @FootballManager but there is better stuff to use to get engagement.
Can we all just settle down & chat facts please!
Ben Carr@DoctorBenjy
There has been no official word on Multiplayer in FM26, Steam however indicates that it's a 'Single-Player' game only. Games with Multiplayer often indicate online functions here, hopefully SI just 'forgot', and Network Games are there at the very least.
