You can make a career mode with a women's soccer team.

Pretty big development; in the past it was only men

EA was talking about putting ads in games, if it's ads like these I'm perfectly fine. It makes it look more realistic

I like football games and I love Ultimate Team (especially since moving to full First Owner a few years ago).

The game isn't great (menus are horrific), but I'm still enjoying it.

Already packed Kane, Odegaard, Lewandowski, Fernandes, Marquinhos, TOTW Kvartskhelia...

Rush is a good time, but man does it suck to play drop ins.

Would love to do Rush (and honestly regular Co-Op) with anyone who's interested.

I went to go look for a FIFA game on the cheap in the PS Store only to find them all removed, apparently they can't even sell the old games anymore, lame. Guess I'll stick to FM Mobile 22

How is FIFA25 compared to FIFA23... ?
2023 felt like .... cant think of an analogy but it played terrible. Please tell me 25 is _nothing_ like 2023....

fifa 17 is the only one i can stomach.
Will keep playing PES 2021 SU until the end of my days it looks like.

Kind of no lifed the game this weekend since I had no plans.

Rush is fun but the connection issues are brutal. Thankfully don't have them in other game modes.

After making it to Elite last year I started Rivals this year in Division 5, but got promoted to 4 last night.

Tonight I played my first Playoffs, and qualified pretty easily, going 4-1. Was the better team in all 4 wins too.

Scored a couple banger free kicks in my 5 games too:





Full first owner is just really fun. I don't worry about the market, and it gets me excited for every decent player pulled.

Got Rashford, Saliba, and Barella in the last day.

I don't have my hopes up for this but will definitely check it out. We need more sport games in general, got to light a fire under EA's ass.

Looks like there is some momentum gaining. Reviews are a little better this time around.

EA make shitty game but their content and league rights will always have more appeal.

For sure, it's tough to overtake any sport when you can't put real teams in.

We should hear news on the new FM25 today, but i believe the game is cancelled. The good signs has never been there. Im 99% sure they have moved on to FM26 instead but i also believe this is the end of the series

 

[Evilo]

Why would it be the end of the series?

 

[KlausJopling]

They have massively messed up the FM25 launch. Trying to move to a new engine, not providing any info, delaying the game, and now pretty much being in radio silence for 6 months. For most series it would kill it, but not FM. They could go 10 years without releasing a game and would probably have a really strong player base still playing FM24, just waiting to buy the next version.

The only thing that would mess with the series is if Sega decides to close the studio (or not support them through a year without much revenue. Don't think they would since FM is a pretty solid series for Sega.

 

[robertmac43]

Series ending - no.

Will they move straight to FM 26, yeah I think that is more likely.

So you think FM26 will be the end of the series?

beginning of the end

Everything has an end. SI has very unserious developers, the game hasnt been upgraded in many many years. And now SEGA have limited their financial support. (source trust me bro) Hope for a new competitor that can make us a GREAT match engine

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

They should have pivoted to a paid "official" roster and kit update for this season and just pushed the new engine to 26. Enough players would have paid for that, since there hasn't been a massive year-to-year evolution for the series lately anyway, and they would have avoided the negativity over cut features, etc... for a game that's now not coming out.

But I think a lot of the design choices, priorities for implementing/cutting, and dev responses have really left a sour taste in the mouths of the fanbase

Part of the lack of upgrading, as far as I am aware, is the underlying engine code is so old that it is very difficult to make major adjustments without breaking other components. Part of this shift to the new graphics engine was also seeking to finally address that, and has obviously just been far more than even they bargained for.
