    May 22 2025
    Football Manager Needs To Be More Simplistic The FM Show Podcast Episode 96 With Football Manager 26 potentially 6 months away, TJ, RDF Tactics and Si Maggio take some time to ponder on what the next instalment of the game might / might not include. We speculate on the upcoming release of the next Football Manager title, emphasizing the need for better communication from developers to the community. The conversation critiques the game's mechanics for being overly complicated and proposes the introduction of new game modes to enhance user experience. We also discuss the balance between realism and enjoyment in gaming, highlighting community expectations and desires for future developments. We express our concerns about the intelligence of AI in the game, the realism of player transfers, and the importance of developing young talent. The discussion also touches on the evolution of tactics and how the game reflects real-life football dynamics, particularly in terms of player movement and market realities.
