After trying to score a goal but unfortunately missing, he was completely without a football manager last year, and has continued to do well every year since 2004. However, sometimes winning the game is more important than losing points. Fortunately, football manager 26 is on the pitch, and to celebrate, you can get it at a pre-launch discount and get early access to the boot.
EA FC is still one of the best sports games out there, but let me be the first to say that I prefer Football Manager 26 and other series. The deep management aspect keeps me hooked and makes winning and losing matches even more impactful.
Football Manager 26 can be overwhelming at first. The UI feels a little cluttered, and the tutorial is more of a teaser than a true “instruction manual,” but things get more interesting as you dig deeper into your role as a manager. The matchday atmosphere has been improved, the perfect goal is more relatable, and the visuals have improved significantly thanks to the switch to Unity (and increased development time due to skipped entries).
While looks certainly aren’t everything, the hallmark of a good simulation game is how accurately it depicts whatever it is it’s simulating. The animation closely resembles the intensity of an exciting football match, and the charm of perfecting your team is as captivating as ever.
As if that wasn’t enough and I feel like I’ve got a lot of positives to share right now, we’re introducing women’s football in a new league, adding fully licensed Premier League kits, clubs and more to give you a more authentic British experience. Normally you would have to wait until November 4th to get in on the action, but the early access period has already begun.
