I really enjoyed previous FM years, but 26 is a rough one. I’m playing on both Mac and iPad, and the experience is the same as are the bugs. There are lots of bugs and some crashes so be forewarned. One of the worst if you intend to cross play is when you manually save. Sometimes you’ll get a hard lock in the game as it throws a save error to iCloud, presents and Ok box to close the error, and then locks out any interaction. You have to force quit on the Mac and kill the app on iPad. Also your save gets lost and you need to restore from a previous. So change your auto save to daily or risk losing all progress randomly when you save on quit. Another annoying bug can be when subbing players. Sometimes you’ll click Sub-Out on an active player, and you’ll see your full list of subs, sometimes the relevant ones, and sometimes random players (I had a GK show up for ST). There are loads of UX challenges as the game tries to maintain the same interface between devices. So be prepared to do a load of clicking/tapping to get to buried menus (ex: Finding your affiliate teams like youth team lineup can be an exercise in 4-5 clicks). The In and Out of possession tactics is nice, but you get little guidance on how to best setup your team, so investigate who is going where because you may be sub-optimized. Oh and the Mac version honest work with community mods, at least not that I’ve seen. Instant crash. I hope there’s a lot more bug fixes and improvements coming.EDIT: With the latest update the lock/corrupt on save problem has gotten worse. I can’t go more than 2 matches without it hitting and ruining my game. Also there are now players getting randomly moved around in my formations.
We've just released an update to fix a bunch of crashes and bugs. Can you please download the latest update 1.5 and try again for me please?
