What is the most addictive game among football fans? Some say it's FIFA (now EAFC) but as an older person I feel it's the Football Manager series. It's the most realistic football manager simulation game using a variety of real-world data. For those looking forward to Football Manager 25, the bad news is that Sports Interactive has cancelled the game.
FM25 was supposed to launch in November 2024 before being delayed to March 2025. Various issues during the game's development forced Sports Interactive to postpone. Among the new features introduced were changes to the Unity engine and the introduction of a women's football team for the first time.
Sports Interactive felt that the various issues that still existed forced them to cancel FM25 because they did not want to release a game that did not meet their quality and also the fans of the series that has been released every year since 2004.
Therefore, the focus is fully on the development of Football Manager 26 which will be released in November 2025. Money will be refunded to those who have pre-ordered the game.
