The much-hyped ‘new era’ of Football Manager is off to a rocky start. This was to be the year that women’s football made its debut in the series. Sports Interactive had also made a rather big deal of the move to a new engine, the usual array of new features, and official Premier League licensing.
Some criticism has been fired at SI during this development cycle for a variety of reasons. Some are weirdly upset at the addition of women’s football, others are irritated by the removal of features that didn’t really do anything anyway, and many complain about everything just for something to do.
Still, as recently as last week, SI announced a release date in late November and their intention to reveal all the new features in more detail over the coming weeks, soliciting pre-orders by offering a discount and early access. Alas, this evening, SI have published a statement indicating that release has been pushed back to March 2025.
The collective meltdown on their forums and Reddit in response is ****ing brilliant.
