Football Manager 25 Axed: Fans Disappointed

Sega's Unexpected Announcement: No Football Manager 2025

Sega and Sports Interactive have delivered surprising news to fans of the Football Manager series: there will be no new installment for the 2025 season. The decision, announced in an official statement, cites the game's unfinished state despite two prior delays. The developers aimed for a significant technological leap, a goal they've acknowledged they couldn't meet at this time. This candid admission is refreshing, contrasting sharply with some other sports game franchises known for minimal changes between releases.

While the honesty is appreciated, the news remains disappointing. Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update, impacting players who rely on the game's up-to-date rosters and statistics. This is particularly concerning given past instances of successful virtual managers securing real-world football club positions based on their in-game achievements. For the coming year, only the outdated Football Manager 24 will be available.

The future of the Football Manager series remains uncertain, pending further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive.
