WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR FOOTBALL MANAGER?
While Football Manager 24 was well received and praised for the changes that Sports Interactive made, Football Manager 25 has been plagued with problems. The company announced in November 2024 that it was delaying the launch to March 2025 while the gameplay would be released in January 2025. However, with January having come and gone, fans of the beloved franchise are now worried that the game may be delayed yet again.
