I’m absolutely astounded sports interactive have released the beta in the state it is, it’s horrendous, even for a beta.

The UI is a complete joke, like it’s been made for a tablet/mobile phone. Just non functional and counter intuitive.

Not sure what they have been doing since they cancelled FM25, but it wasn’t working on this game.

A symptom of the industry itself sadly, a good number of games are a “release now fix later” situation and it gets excused.

I have learned this about early access. "The grander the idea, the likelier the bull(redacted)." Even someone like Taleworlds with Bannerlord (who have quite possibly one of the greatest IP's to work with and maybe the most potential of any game ever) have basically memed around with half baked ideas and fixes for a long time. They finally release an interesting expansion (that you have to pay for!) Instead of finishing the product first then releasing extra content. I say this all while acknowledging that Bannerlord is incredible despite not being completed. There is just too much money involved and people lose motivation once they have the cash. Human nature and all that

Your right, but considering they fumbled fm25 so badly I thought they would have done better on fm26. Thank god there are brilliant modders and skin developers, and a great community that love the games.

I can’t play fm26 as it is, the UI is giving me head aches.

Yeah, I bought it as soon as the beta come out, like the idiot I am. Wow. bad.

FM is DREADFUL right now

The tactic improvements are good, but I can’t get to them or spend any time on it as the UI is just killing me.

Considering the game is 80% moving about screens and looking at data etc I just can’t believe they’ve knackered it so badly.

Mine keeps locking me out of being able to progress, or end matches - it’s functionally unplayable and there’s 0 chance they fix this in a week or so

Also McNeil infuriating refuses to leave on mine

Broken mate, just broken. How can you make the UI so bad?

Definitely broken!

It’s awful. Like I said, any improvements are killed by the awful UI.

Bugs can be fixed, I don’t know how they sort the UI quickly.

I think they have got the AI spot on with Dwight there tbh…..

Tried again with FM26, still getting headaches.

Will wait for skins and updates before trying again, godawful.

Halo on PlayStation, not a big surprise considering how bad a job Microsoft has done with the Xbox console the last decade , still a lot of the same narcissistic management who have a lot of the press in their pocket.

FM is DREADFUL right now

It's going to be dreadful for a few years me thinks, new UI is big step backwards in many ways

Mobile/console version of FM, diluted and dumbed down. The ridiculous thing is it works quite well with a x box controller plugged in……seriously, wtf.

Brilliant way to [Poor language removed] your core market.
