@jasonpike1981 @nocontextfm1 I did try to play the game but just found it a bit naff so instant result’d and yes I did indeed lose 😂

@eley_callum @nocontextfm1 Played one friendly, lost and quit is the translation 😆

The Football Manager World Cup mode has been out for a few hours now… How are you finding it? 🤔

@AlisonC24426188 @Mick_O_Keeffe There’s a black dude holding him down too, knee to the neck not good but it was for 3 seconds. I can’t imagine that would have killed him.

@Mick_O_Keeffe Looks like a bunch of old white guys mistreating him, the one on the left knelt on his neck - WTF? Did they learn nothing from the incident in America?

Bertie was right! Congolose man Yves Sakila was allegedly caught shoplifting in Dublin and then went on to assault a pensioner as he attempted to escape. He was caught and held by security, but then he died in hospital after becoming unresponsive on the scene. This is already being used to whip up George Floyd style anger, with protests planned for tomorrow afternoon in Dublin. Ebun Joseph (Ireland's racism czar) and a number of NGOs have already pounced to label this as "systemic racism." Here's the video of the incident.

@FootballManager Nope, the game is gash.

@BasilTheGreat @TRobinsonNewEra He still had the national anthem of the UK sang for him though. He’s got roots in Nigeria and people are being murdered over there, maybe it’s a solidarity thing like the Palestine flag.

Anthony Joshua decided to sport a Nigerian flag 🇳🇬 in the ring instead of a British one. So sick of this shit.

@I_amMukhtar George did a good job!

This Reform Councillor is fighting for his life trying to defend Reforms' new Bangladeshi candidate who's running to become a Councillor for the CentralSouth Sea ward in Portsmouth.

@nocontextfm1 What an awful decision. How much of a downgrade is that

Comparing the loan screens in FM24 and FM26… 😬

@SiMaggioFM You seem very bothered by the reviews it’s a bit strange.

FM26 steam reviews have already moved from 22% to 26%. Slowly redeeming itself? Also interesting is the language breakdown. German and French now about 40% while Korean and Chinese at 7 and 5% #FM26

@SiMaggioFM @BigMeatie They just left the game open.

@BigMeatie Dan, I don’t disagree, and you know that. But there’s a difference between 30-50 hours and 140 hours. Thats 10+ hours every day since release.

The hope that the game would be what they said it would be by launch probably kept them invested. Finding out that they've released an unchanged BETA that has thousands of bugs and issues is why the negative reviews are coming through. Instead of criticising people for investing their time into a game they had hope for, maybe see it as the final straw being dropped on the back of the game. The patch this afternoon really needs to be a substantial one that fixes a lot of issues, not even before we discuss the reintroduction of pretty vital QOL features. Otherwise, even more trust will be lost, at a time when trust is at a minimum.

@Andy_AVFC_Hanna @FridayNightFM Me too. It’s the immersion, lack of flow around the game world.

@FridayNightFM Going to try again today but i cant seem to get going with a save , played 7 or 8 hours so far but an hour or so each time , got no issue with the new stuff or hownit looks just csnt get in to it , no idea why and im gutted

SundayMorningFM - first notepad session of FM26 🫡

@arcondoz @bassyboy Now that looks decent

@bassyboy lovelyyyy

Apologies for the brightness so late, but👀 #FM26

@FootballManager “That’s really intuitive” He must be on about a different game.

Revamped Search Function 🔍 Search helps you find everything in one place - from players and game screens to information in the new FMPedia tool.

@nerdphonic Maybe that’s why it feels really poor for me too then. FM24 was so good on Mac

I spent most of yesterday testing FM26 before I start running benchmarks. The graphical side of the game is really poorly optimised on MacOS currently - tested on both Tahoe (26.0.1) and Sequioa (15.7.1). I get crazy frame drops on my base M1 MacBook Air (the recommended spec suggested by SI) and my significantly over recommended spec M3 Pro MacBook Pro. Considering the vast difference in hardware between the two laptops, the M3 Pro MacBook Pro struggles to reach the 60FPS cap consistently when that shouldn't be the case. These frame drops occur even when viewing static pages outside of matches. Switching between balanced and high doesn't make a huge amount of difference to frame rate either (~5FPS). Game is currently locked to 30FPS on very low and low, and 60FPS on anything balanced and above but there is intermittent screen tearing likely due to the inconsistent frame rate. There is a bug where the 30FPS lock is arbitrarily applied even in the higher graphics modes. If you start or move to the very low or low graphics preset in-match, you will then be locked to 30FPS even if you switch to a higher preset until you close and re-open the game. The hotfix released around midnight on 25/10 hasn't changed any of the above. I don't believe this is an issue or limitation with the hardware, I'm able to run more demanding games running on UE5 with higher resolution textures at higher and more consistent frame rates. I hope this improves over the beta period because this is incredibly disappointing in comparison to how well FM24 ran on Mac. I'll likely put off making the video I was planning to make on hardware recommendations until after full release in the hope the above is ironed out by 4th November.

@SiMaggioFM The only annoying bit is if you add England and some other countries it adds the woman’s leagues too, and you have to manually de-select each one. Not a massive issue but means more clicks!

Are people still angry about the removal or weight or addition of women’s football? At least the discussion moved on 😂 #FM26

Retweet this tweet if pressing Spacebar should take you to your next unread message, rather than just advancing the game forward whilst leaving unread messages.

@SiMaggioFM Feels a bit clunky, that tactics screen is gonna take some getting used to. It looks like FM Touch

I am not the UIs biggest fan either. I think theres too many clicks in some places, not enough customisation, and things missing like attribute colours. Plus bugs obviously. Its still FM and I like it overall.

@fminside Not keen, but will persevere

So! First couple of hours on the #FM26 BETA.. what are your first thoughts?

@tafaelshafa_21 @fm_console Really, that’s disappointing

@fm_console Looks like they changed how staff attributes atefrom 1-20 to poor - exceptional, similar to facilities

So just been sent this from another #FM26 leak this time via Youtube! So these images are very clean There's no gameplay its in portuguese but is dubbed but still !!

@nocontextfm1 Look like drug addled serial killers

These are the first ever women regen faces in Football Manager history! 🙌

@MooonoStreams Never has an FM release been met with such moaning about other people. It’s a constant theme amongst all the content creators.

B-b-b-but I thought they didn't do anything to the match engine because of the women's game 🥺🥺
