FM Console

@LastManBalling they had additional scouting on FM24 for international management on console that was not on Club management so maybe this is what they mean, but you can assign scouts in PC/Mac too

@fm_console Recruitment focuses for national players is an interesting concept. Like you won’t already know the entire pool?

On the forums we’ve had a bit more confirmation for the following for console on the upcoming World Cup mode on the forums. Also lots of fixes expected to be coming too

The Japanese FM Blog post confirms the missing nation in the World Cup update is the Japan NT. 'Due to licensing restrictions, the Japan national team will not be available to play at launch.'

To be fair it all looks pretty good but it is not just a standalone mode it does have integration into a new save and backwards compatible with existing saves too Summary of what I've seen from the website The first thing you’ll see when loading up FM26 following this update is a new quick start option allowing you to dive straight into FIFA World Cup 2026™ action*. You can kick off your campaign on May 11th in-game, giving you two final friendlies to run the rule over your players and complete your squad selection ahead of the summer’s action. You'll also be able to load your existing FM23 and FM24 saves and continue your national team saves. If you have started a club save in FM26, international management will be seamlessly integrated into your save file. You'll be able to start a new save game or have international management brought into your existing save game, it's entirely up to you. *At the initial launch of this feature, 47 of the 48 qualified nations for FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be playable. We will provide further updates should that status change in future updates. **While we previously indicated that official kits would be included as part of the international management feature, licensing approvals are still ongoing. As a result, not all FIFA World Cup 2026™ team kits will be available upon launch of the feature and some may be added at a later date. footballmanager.com/fm26/features/…

@_MUFCJames its not Germany as they're there

@fm_console Whos the country you can't play as?

@kevmsmith81 I actually did say it in the extended tweet part when I've double checked

@fm_console The article states you can do a quick start save for the World Cup, but that the international mode is seamlessly integrated into the game as a whole so existing saves will be able to take over international teams alongside club management.

Here we go! Looks pretty good !

Wonder if we even get a screenshot this time

Oh here we go then

Apologies to all FMClips Alpha hit one or two snags when moving it to our new website today. We are opening the Alpha registration today the new home is fmclips.app. Alpha and Beta is going to be free but phased you will have: 2 hours free in Phase 1 4 hours free in Phase 2 Beta Shorts will be coming in Phase 2 If anyone's interested please let me know!

@Milesy1991 However If they are using it for free during Beta and found it useful that’s perfectly okay too though there’s no pressure and the limits will be increasing once capacity established

@fm_console If anyone is paying anything for this, they will pay for absolutely anything. Its a glorified screenshot service

FMscans.com Beta is open 100 free scans during Beta or £5/month for unlimited scans if you'd like to sign up A quick, simple tool that organises your Football Manager screenshots in seconds. Player screenshots are supported at launch, with 16 more FM screens coming during beta. And this is just the start, FMclips Beta, is also on the way over the weekend.

@Milesy1991 The process is free for upto 100 scans at Beta, the £5 is there if people want to use more than that imposed limit during Beta

@fm_console If anyone is paying for this, they will pay for any old shit. What the fuck is this nonsense? Paying for screenshots.....

No disagree with you there, this is just a very effective time saving tool for those who have a very specific problem. This specific tool is not targeting the wider FM audience, its just there for a very specific audience, I'm not pretending its a game changing tool for everyone its just a niche solution.

@fm_console Worst FM idea ever btw

Ah well that’s the other dashboard project that’s under construction still where we don’t just do the screenshot system I’ve built the entire cross save library system. It’s still under construction because I’ve moved it to a dashboard but you can check it out on fmconsole.com. It’s not ready for the public beta yet but you can take a look if you want

@fm_console also, i at times wished i took bulk screenshots of my players so i can review them during my lunch break at work. there's just endless possibilities with this.

Yes and again the aim of creating the tool is not to necessarily do it individually it’s easier to do a bulk upload in less than a couple of minutes. As I said it’s beta and an initial limit of 100 so far in its initial launch. The aim is saving time by allowing you to do it in bulk. If you’ve tried it what’s the issue with the bulk process I’m assuming you’ve tried the free model?

@fm_console @BillSplate14 It’s literally so easy to save screenshots without this
