I agree. been playing since the Championship Manager days, but for whatever reason SI have killed they,re golden goose. FM26 is unplayable. I never minded that the graphics were not state of the art. it was the gameplay that set it apart. the rot started when they introduced monotonus media interaction and interviews. time wasting drivel. But this game seems as if they have let loose a gaggle of coding geeks, with no interest in football, and they've gone down the washing machine route, to show how clever they are. you know when you get 64 different wash cycles, when 3 will suffice ! Well they have fleeced me this year but never again, and I will advice my considerably large group of family and friends to avoid at all cost.
