Does anybody actually know what they are adding on fmm26?

[Melvinger]

I think we have no clue until 4nov 😭

[DanEnglish]

Confirmed

• Still on Netflix (exclusive)
• Launch Nov 4th
• Updated database - with the latest squads, transfers, wonderkids, etc like normal
• Women’s football - it’s across all FM versions (inc. Mobile) for the first time
• A new language (Indonesian)
• New official licensing - including the English Premier League and the World Cup (you can probably see the full list on SI’s website)
• Forward save compatibility with FMM24 saves

Likely (but not confirmed yet)

We don’t really know what else (yet) BUT there are some things which are likely:

• Tweaked roles - don’t expect too much here, but as an example it’s likely we’ll have a more attacking Libero for the first time!

We don’t know yet if Mobile will have any new men’s leagues 🤷 and we don’t know how many leagues you’ll be able to load 🤷 and we don’t know what UI / menu / visual changes have been made 🤷 

‘No’

It’s confirmed for FMM / Mobile that:

• Mobile is NOT moving to Unity,
• Mobile will NOT have a 3D match engine .
• New - Mobile will NOT have in/out possession roles like full FM26.

Have I missed anything else?
Sports Interactive typically don’t reveal Mobile features until much closer to launch 🔥

Let me know if any of this is incorrect

It’s confirmed that Mobile is NOT moving to Unity, and it’s confirmed there’s are no (short term?) plans for a 3D match engine.

Great conclusion, thank you.

I wish they could make a one-time purchase version for this time. Love playing the game completely offline.

Me too. Especially as I refuse to get Netflix. I’m still on FMM23 <cry>

Confirmat

• Încă pe Netflix (exclusiv)
• Lansare pe 4 noiembrie
• Bază de date actualizată - cu cele mai recente loturi, transferuri, jucători minune etc., ca de obicei
• Fotbal feminin - este disponibil pentru prima dată în toate versiunile FM (inclusiv pe mobil)
• O limbă nouă (indoneziană)
• Noi licențieri oficiale - inclusiv Premier League engleză și Cupa Mondială (probabil puteți vedea lista completă pe site-ul SI)
• Compatibilitate cu salvarea anterioară cu salvările FMM24

Probabil (dar încă neconfirmat)

Nu știm cu adevărat ce altceva (încă), DAR există câteva lucruri care sunt probabile:

• Roluri modificate - nu vă așteptați la prea multe, dar, de exemplu, este probabil să avem un Libero mai ofensiv pentru prima dată!

Nu știm  încă dacă Mobile va avea roluri pentru jucătorii în posesie/sine posesie 🤷 , de asemenea, nu știm despre noi ligi masculine 🤷 și nu știm ce modificări au fost făcute la interfață / meniu / vizual 🤷 

'Nu'

S-a confirmat că Mobile NU se mută la Unity și s-a confirmat că nu există planuri (pe termen scurt?) pentru un motor de potrivire 3D.

Am omis ceva?
De obicei, Sports Interactive nu dezvăluie funcții pentru mobil decât mult mai aproape de lansare  🔥 

14 licensed women's leagues:

• Barclays Women’s Super League (England)
• Barclays Women's Super League 2 (England)
• National Women’s Soccer League (USA)
• Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany)
• WE League (Japan)
• Serie A Femminile (Italy)
• OBOS Damallsvenskan (Sweden)
• Elitettan ( second league Sweden)
• A-Liga (Denmark)
• A-League Women (Australia)
• Adran Premier (Wales)
• Premiere Ligue D1 Arkema (France) 
• Primera Division Liga F Moeve (Spain) 
• Segunda Division Liga F (Spain) 

For FM 26, 5 new leagues have been licensed, namely: Gibraltar, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden & the United Arab Emirates. Given that the top 2 women's leagues in Sweden are licensed, I expect that this will also have the top 2 men's leagues licensed on mobile. I don't expect to have the previously mentioned men's leagues on mobile, but I believe the Swedish league could be one of the new men's leagues or perhaps be the only men's league this season.

We will have two databases (the men's league will not be mixed with the women's one). When choosing a women's club, we will probably also be able to choose a national team (men's), being able to successfully switch between the two databases, but this is only a guess, not a certainty. I expect us to have licensed women's national teams because a partnership has been signed with FIFA for the FIFA Women's World Cup.

They will probably reveal partial information on October 28th (a week earlier), I don't expect them to reveal all the surprises at once. 

[DanEnglish]

Update!

Confirmed that Mobile will NOT have in/out of possession player roles like FM26.

Personally I think this is a good idea to not include it yet (the Mobile hardcore would likely want it, but it’s a good idea to keep it simpler for all those Netflix newer players)

What is confirmed is the women's league, I'm actually looking forward to this, I have no clue about women's football, couldn't even name a player 😳 Leeds women I'd start with haha 😆 😂 be interesting to see if you can switch between the 2 during your 30 year career. I think it will massively help our community. With giving the option of women allowing to now play the game. I'll have to download the women's pack for pictures haha 😄 😆 😅 😂 I think the beta has just come out for the PC, not played the PC version since, I think FM 17! I am mobile all the way now

[leedsunited87]

I have to this to Marc, he tries his best, he made the one and only CM 03 04 

Hello Marc, I'm off FMVibe. Think we have spoken before. I remember the good old days, when you made,which I still say to this day, is the best PC game I have ever played. CM 03 04, it was just perfect. I somehow managed to get it working in my old phone (s20) brings back great memories. I played the Full fat FM, right up to I think FM 17, might of been 18. Anyway, I moved over to thr mobile game. Been playing this for around 7/8 years. I am a massive fan of the mobile game. I personally think its the best mobile game out there. Reminds me very much like CM. I work alot of hours a week, so I don't get time for the Full fat FM anymore. I would like to say, I think its a fantastic move to introduce the women's league/Leagues. Could open alot of door Marc. I personally don't think it needs completely revamping. It's already a fun/addictive game for myself. I think I do over 150 hours a week on it. What I'm most interested at, will I be able to swap between the both? So say I do 3 years with Leeds ladies. Then I decided I want to go and manage say. Leeds United men, is this possible? One thing I would also add, only a small detail. Is B teams, Germany have a load, Spain, Netherlands and a few others, is this going to be tweaked so that the academy players get a fair training boost? I think it's been quite neglected for a while, that would be my only punt on FMM. Also would love at some point, more then 30 seasons. My phone is still pretty fast and can handle the later years. Also would love to see Iceland made playable, used to mange those little teams in the Full version. But yeah, that's about it. Sorry for the long rambling

Has the amount of leagues we can load in a save been expanded

We don’t know yet 🤷 the good news is that we will know soon!

[kidthekid]

I know we wouldn't get instant result as Marc doesn't like it for some reason, even though how people choose to play the game is up to them. However, I am still hopeful that one day, we get it.

I don't think we need instant result. It's pretty fast, takes me around 2 mins if that per game

I tend to play outside of the big leagues like Wales or Ireland, so when my team gets really dominant and wine very domestic game, I just want to breeze through domestic games and focus on Europe.

Or when I start with a really bad team, and it's a long term save, I don't actually want to watch my team play until we get better. I used to do that a lot in the PC version, when I take a team from the lower leagues to European success. If you have a long save in mind, instant result can help you get there faster. I don't see why it can't be an option. 

Also,  some people may just be more into squad building than playing games and going on holiday is kind of terrible in mobile.

Why not just holiday over the game? 
Same result as a instant result but doesn’t use your picked team

From my understanding, instant result doesn't really use your tactics as intended. That's why when people post results of their tactics using holiday, people ignore it. I don't want to make this instant result thing a big deal but if you want to give young players game time, holiday mode may not allow you do that, since it's just going to play your starters.

Yeah , it uses same formation but instructions and players selection are done by assistant manager.

If you have seen the new features of FM26 Mobile there is going to be a ‘retain selection’ and ‘retain tactics’ so we can put players in certain positions that we want to play every game and they will play and also use the same exact tactics. This will be great as for some saves that get boring can just simulate and see the same success we would have .

But will you consider getting Netflix for fmm26 since it has all these brand new features?

Confirmed by SI that holidaying keeps team selection and tactics now.. massive update
