Lovely of them to help folks lose some pounds
Wait, there was a football manager 1-24?
Thanks for the information
Really? That sounds so an awful move. How about spending some time to make international management more interesting.
It feels like all they’ve announced is more cut features for ‘25, the UI looks like they want to simplify and “consolize” the experience to make it more accessible probably to sell more units.
Idk, I have to say I’m a little nervous about 25. Might wait and see. I’m really enjoying my long term save on ‘24 anyways
Oh my God please
Corporate speak in full effect:
>As such, we can now share a change we’ve made to all FM25 player profiles: a player’s weight will no longer be visible.
>Through the creation of our Women’s Football database, we discovered that while the weight of male athletes can change a bit month to month, women’s body types are very different from men’s and their weight fluctuates a lot more, often weekly.
>This perspective encouraged us to review the wider game, much like we have with all other areas, and we’ve ultimately decided to no longer show weight for any players in FM25. A very basic measurement will still be included under the hood, but it won’t be visible on the front end anymore.
Wanting a strong target man…like… Jan Koller 6’8, 234lbs
Ends up with… Peter Crouch 6’7, 165lbs.
I don’t understand their reasoning for removing player weights. Instead it would’ve been a better idea to allow every player’s weight to fluctuate to a certain degree, male or female. While women’s weight can fluctuate a bit more, a male footballers weight may fluctuate depending on what the club’s training regime is. The player may gain weight during off season or other breaks. If they’re between the ages of about 15-22, you’d expect them to be putting on a few pounds naturally as well, as there’s always the chance they’re still growing.
