just installed it. fairly easy to do, its basic in terms of a skins, but fantastic in that it gives lots of potential, but it does help the game a lot visually, even just with a background it feels so musch better, and obviously a better colour

its A good start, let’s hope things progress from here

Great work Ben, looking at those boot images you can see why there are so many injuries these days, no protection

Graphics that work on FM24-all of them ;-)

 

i gave up with 26 as i dont want FM Mobile on my high end PC, so got a refund which i will use to donate to people like MetzFM when he updates his commentary files for 24

after playing since the original Domark game, this version is a dog.

 

it feels like im playing the mobile version with some 3d graphics

 

we live for the detail, the stats, the immersion-FM26 has none of it

 

i have processed my Steam refund im sad to say, and will continue with my FM24 jourbey, with all the faces, kits, commentary, adboards, in stadium sounds and chants, the new balls, the stadiums, the backgrounds, the crowd colours, pitch textures, new cameras etc all thanks to the dedicated community

 

none of the above i can enjoy in 26

Snagging Issues for me, hopefully someone can put my mind at rest. 

  • In Game Editor - will that come out with the full version?
  • Max Dowman - Not in FM26 Beta, will he be in the full version?
  • In match commands, I couldn't find this in Beta. Have they removed this feature?
  • Managing international teams. Will they bring this in at a later date as a patch/update?
  • Create-a-club - Loved this feature in previous versions. Will they bring this in, in future updates?
  1. yes-£6.99
  2. No-he is Under 16. a modder will need to add him
  3. Removed from what i recall reading
  4. No-there is a world cup module / add on coming around Mar 26
  5. again, removed from the article i read

all is a major step backwards-SI just dont listen / or care

MY FIRST FM26 COMMENT

Well... unfortunately, we waited two years (!) for the new version of FM, and it's a disappointment. 

In my humble opinion, the only real improvements are in the game engine (I liked the players' movements, which are more realistic and have more technical details), the idea of two tactics (with and without the ball) and dynamic TV. 

 

The graphics were a complete disappointment. It's not attractive, full of bugs, confusing, ridiculously small boxes with too much information, too many pop-ups, a ridiculous scoreboard, as well as the pop-up that appears when there are goals and many, many more things that are wrong, uninteresting and meaningless... The inability to reload the skin/game without having to exit and re-enter the game when we did a change in the graphics folders is a shame. 

 

The inability to customise skins is an affront to the FM community! 

 

And the logos bugs (many don't appear because of the already reported conflict) make me wonder what kind of shitty testing was done. 

 

Sometimes I wonder what leads SI not to consider the feedback that FM fans have reported and suggested over the years. 

Why not ‘dialogue’ with reference sites (such as Sortitoutsi or FMScout) about things that are mentioned every year by FM fans and would improve the game and immersion in it? 

Now they've changed ‘everything’ and ‘ruined everything’! 

And anyone who, in the future, if possible, dedicates themselves to improving the graphics (skins) will certainly have a Herculean task ahead of them (and it remains to be seen whether they have radically changed the code itself...). 

 

For my part, I don't think I'll be able to take on this task - the years are weighing on me and relearning everything from scratch doesn't appeal to me, and I don't know if I have the knowledge to do so (as I've always said, I'm not an expert - I've learned about the code over the years, through experience and, often, through trial and error). 

 

We'll see... I can only hope that new skinners will emerge, with the willpower, energy and knowledge to help us make the game more interesting. 
 

It was good while it lasted! But I believe (at least for now) that FM26 closed a chapter of  my life, full of challenges and pleasure which helped me to deal and, by moments, to "forgot" the real daly problems of the life.  


A big hug to everyone who has always supported my work, which I have always done with enthusiasm for over ten years. Let's keep in touch here and all the best to you all!

 

Always yours

Flut

 

 

Flut, your words are so true.

 

Miles and team have taken the game backwards by at least a decade or more. I have every version since Domark original and have have never felt as let down with a new version.

 

the game is no better than the many free offerings on the Apple Store, there is no feeling of immersion or realism at all.

 

SI should be embarrassed by what they have produced (I doubt they care) they have taken 2 years to produce this appalling effort.

 

they have been obsessed with the women’s game, the of audience of which is miniscule, I have been a football addict for 48 years, holding a season ticket with Leeds since 1981 and would struggle to name more than a handful of female players, I’m simply not interested, I suspect like many others.

 

in closing I wish you and your family well and personally thank you for the many excellent versions of Flutskin, which made the game so much better (I’m sticking with my near perfect FM24 for now)

 

take care and god bless, your work will live on

I've put this in the editor data folder and gone to reload my game and it still shows the old game. Is this one where it's only relevant with a new save

 

All editor data only works with new save

after playing 1 game im reverting back to FM24 until they sort the mess out, the much heralded 3d graphics are very average

 

all the customisation has gone, there is no substitute button, only way i could find was to go into tactics and drag players

 

so much wrong with this, it looks more like the mobile version on a grown up PC-so very sad

 

imagine how bad FM 25 would have been!!

Hi, i couldn't find the “skin” section to add the logos in the game, the interface tab doesn't show it on FM26. How can I do it?

 

There is no skin section

 

logos just go in graphics

Having played the game now for several hours I am left feeling very dissapointed.

 

I haver played these games for a long time, since early Championship manager games etc


Now don't get me wrong some of the new version is very good but overall  I get a feeling of sadness at the way the game is heading.


It feels and looks to me like a cheaper version, a completly different game infact, like a poor competitor to FM.

I keep expecting a popup saying “buy more finances now” it seems like a mobile game to me, one I wouldnt touch usually.

 

Will I stick with it ? probably but overall as I said, I feel underwhelmed.

To me FM24 is way better but its early days, hoping it grows on me a little more when fullly released.
 

you read my mind, see my post on flutskin FC12 kits

Ok, a quick message  regarding these kits.

As you may know we dont have the option yet for skins on FM26 so these kits at the moment are redundent for the new FM26.

 

For me I would like to keep these going for FM24 and earlier but what do you all think ?

 

personally its a yes mate, as we will hopefully at some point be able to use when/if @flut is able to get the game to look how we all want (this looks like a big ask atm)

 

appreciate all the modders great work as ever, but this year looks like a real challenge, its hard to be overly positive about the new look in 26 when we had 24 pretty much perfect as a game. SI have clearly worried about implementing the womens game over everything, which is a real shame as the game now looks like a generic “manager” game that are ten a penny on the App store, most of which are appalling

 

Keep it up matey

best to wait as they are aware and will fix, if you do workarounds you will have to undo it all in 10 days

Has anyone found a way to add a personal photo to your manager profile like you could do in previous games? 

 

No, if you recall they had to fix it on fm24 release

 

there is so much wrong with the game I’m just going to wait until full release before I do too much modding

getting graphics to fully work is tricky and trial and error (suppose that is what Beta time is for)

 

im hoping when they sort skins they also add back the change manager profile option, my guy looks like a nonce from the sims
