A Message from Sports Interactive, An Update on Football Manager 25

Sports Interactive regret to inform that, following extensive internal discussion and careful consideration with SEGA, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Football Manager 25 and shift our focus to the next release.

For the large numbers of you who pre-ordered FM25, we thank you enormously for your trust and support – we're very sorry to have let you down. Please see the FAQs below on obtaining your refund.

Development Update: Football Manager 25

We know this will come as a huge disappointment, especially given that the release date has already moved twice, and you have been eagerly anticipating the first gameplay reveal. We can only apologise for the time it has taken to communicate this decision. Due to stakeholder compliance, including legal and financial regulations, today was the earliest date that we could issue this statement.

We have always prided ourselves on delivering the best value for money games that bring you countless hours of enjoyment, that feel worth every moment and every penny you spend. With the launch of FM25 we set out to create the biggest technical and visual advancement in the series for a generation, laying the building blocks for a new era.

Due to a variety of challenges that we've been open about to date, and many more unforeseen, we currently haven't achieved what we set out to do in enough areas of the game, despite the phenomenal efforts of our team. Each decision to delay the release was made with the aim of getting the game closer to the desired level but, as we approached critical milestones at the turn of the year, it became unmistakably clear that we would not achieve the standard required, even with the adjusted timeline.

Whilst many areas of the game have hit our targets, the overarching player experience and interface is not where we need it to be. As extensive evaluation has demonstrated, including consumer playtesting, we have clear validation for the new direction of the game and are getting close – however, we're too far away from the standards you deserve.

We could have pressed on, released FM25 in its current state, and fixed things down the line - but that's not the right thing to do. We were also unwilling to go beyond a March release as it would be too late in the football season to expect players to then buy another game later in the year.

Through the cancellation, every effort is now focused on ensuring that our next release achieves our goal and hits the quality level we all expect. We will update you on how we are progressing with that as soon as we are able to do so.

Thank you for reading, your patience and your continued support. Our full focus now returns to creating a new era for Football Manager.

Must be pretty broken to have to cancel the game entirely.

I hate to defend Hanania, but this is a misunderstanding of the tool. This part just shows a mapping between a person and the NGO they are part of.

If you use the EIN to look at how much he gets from taxes it's just $15.

🚨 NEW TOOL: PRINCIPAL OFFICER SEARCH & USAID TRACKING 🚨
🔎 FOLLOW THE LEADERS. TRACE THE MONEY. 💰
I’ve built a powerful tool to help you track nonprofit leadership and follow USAID grant flows with ease.

Here’s what you can do:

Rightoids use this to find millions of tax dollars going to libtards making more than them

For a real eye-opener on the scope of this USAID welfare program.

1. Run a keyword search via Data Republican.

Example, "Diversity."

2. Find a grant.

Example, "American Councils For International Education"

3. Get Form 990 for the grant recipient.

4. Check salaries. pic.twitter.com/5yMkvOTS7P

But wait. What about looking inward into rightoids receiving money?!

Well someone searched Hanania and found he had an NGO. And also there's someone name "Shlomo Hanania"

But it turns out he's only received $15 So three months of Peepee Hanania's substack somehow made it into some Fed's budget

So you're saying women in the administration should be hidden in the backroom. That sounds a bit misogynisty.Edit: missed word (24)

Ah yes, the condescending "no U are!" comment from the rightoid. Positions of authority are rarely in the spotlight, they are leaders at the local level. Stop acting like a child. I know it's tough when your whole personality is built around it, but I believe in you. (-19)

Thats a LOT more women and POCs to be considered "token" (36)

The way he shoves them into positions of high attention while quietly gutting women and POC from their previous roles of real authority is what makes them tokens. But yeah you got a blonde woman press secretary again, you did it lads. (-28)

Ohhhhhhh. I get it now! It's okay to give preferential treatment to minorities and women because shit was unfair for them, checks notes, fifty years ago. And because there's an unproven possibility that some employers are being racist in one direction, we have to not only allow, but encourage, the rest to be racist in the other direction. Cuz balance. Yeah, man, makes total sense. This is good racism. (0)

My bad! You're so right! I forgot one of the core tenets of the MAGA cult is that you must believe racism and sexism ended the day we put the bill up. RACISM IN THE WORKPLACE?! Not in 50 years my guy! All of the "proven possibilities" died that day! Evil Libs in 1972 were not only building weather weapons, but they were pushing TITLE IX as an anti man bill then! Disgusting! Didn't they know racism and sexism was exhausted by 1970!50 years to educate and mobilize a workforce in a male dominated field. 50 years later there's still men in Blizzard and RIOT making the workplace heck for anyone without a peepee.But yeah. We only had problem's 50 years ago. Lmfao ludicrous. You said it in your last part that you feel the system is racist. And that's fine! I think you should feel a bit outraged that white people are losing opportunities. Every American should have opportunity. But since you admit that there's racism occurring in both directions and still feel necessary to burn the direction ... (1)

Sure, racist actions like this?https://apnews.com/article/c4834e48841d97c5a93312b1bf75302a Trump signs bill restoring funding for black collegesOr would you rather say that something 51 years ago is more relevant?😂🤦 (1)

Not renting to black people for years is always racist no matter when it happened. Especially when he has never apologized. And saying Obama was born in Africa over and over again without a shred of evidence, is racist. It's pandering to racists. Which is just as bad as being a racist. There is no difference. And defending it is racist. You can say dumb things trying to whitewash it will silly language like he was just "exaggerating" or he wanted attention by saying. Doesn't make him any less of scumbag racist. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

God the bee is literally just 90% Trump propaganda now. This is literally used so the right can spread misinformation but when argued by people on the left they can just say "duh you stupid, it's satire". It's exactly like when Tucker Carlson was knowingly spreading misinformation people actually believed, then got brought to court for it, and the argument was no reasonable person would believe what he said. People do believe this shit and it's damaging the country (1)

these birds are so r-slurred. first, which pervert ornithologist named them this? disgusting. boobies, tits, peepees, shags. what is wrong with these people?

second, i HATE that their beak is concealed like that. they look fricked up and deformed. also disgusting. beakless freaks. debeaked. GIVE HIM HIS BEAK BACK!!!

they are lekking birds, which basically means to Get B-words, a bunch of males gather in a group (called a lek) and desperately display for the females. however because they are r-slurred they often forget about the females and start fighting each other.

also, peepee-of-the-rock leks are fundamentally useless imo because there's a single Chad Male that gets almost all the females, and the rest of the incel males get nothing. lmao

I 24(f) was speaking to a man for about over a week now, I've been really insecure my whole life and avoided men entirely. Only just these past few months have I started to go on dating apps and speak to guys, I've not really found anyone I've been interested in until last week. I really got along with this guy, common interests and thought I was beautiful etc. In the beginning of the convo I was very clear that I'm plus size and if he's not into that that's completely fine, and he was bigger himself and emphasised that he was completely fine with my size and attracted to me. I also said that I'm not into being fetishised, he didn't drop any hints that he was into that.

We had a date tomorrow, to get coffee together. And today, after I've done my nails and toes, took a full body shower, plucked my eyebrows, used my hair and skincare that I reserve for special occasions and I was even going to bake him some cookies to try that we spoke about. He then sent me a long message about how he's into feederism and that he understands it's not for everyone and he likes me for me not his kink etc. I feel so humiliated. I feel gross and I feel like all security and confidence I had has just been destroyed. I really thought I found someone that liked me for ME myself, not because I'm fat. I sent him a voice note saying that I was clear I'm not into his fetish, and he had the opportunity to tell me then no? But instead he's told me just before our date.

I really feel like all my trust in potential partners has completely gone. I'm a really sceptical person usually, and it took so much time for him to break down my walls all to end up doing that. I hate feeders, and I hate my body for attracting them too.

Honest to god had two coworkers spout "Elon is a Nazi" and they act like they honestly believe it. Incredibly childish and beyond immature. Say you don't like the guy, sure, whatever, but I think to accuse anyone of nazism these days is truly 🚬 behavior of the worst most normie order. Words simply have no meaning anymore.

Voter turnout for this election was 58%, which is about on par with every presidential election. Around 40% of the country never cares about voting.I know several people who are in this 40%, and asked them why, and it basically always comes down to the fact that they think their vote doesn't matter.

While I did vote this time around, I didn't vote in 2020. Of course this all feels bad. But... it's always bad. No, this isn't saying, "the dems are equal as bad as the republicans." This is me saying that US republicans are such a fricking low bar that being "better" than them could still mean you are absolutely abysmal. Let's call this what it is: Trump is the imperial boomerang flying back home. And while it's going to make things worse for everyone, it has always disheartened me -- and often infuriated me -- how many people in the US won't care about the terrible things a US president is doing unless it's happening to them personally. Many so-called "progressives" will absolutely be progressive about certain things, but in many other ways they are the same old imperial conservatives that republicans are. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, heralded as being "so progressive," used the doctrine of discovery to deny the Oneida claims to their ancestral lands. Detention, abuse during detention, an... (1)

Since I have been allowed to vote I have watch the DNC overflow with obvious corruption. My first election I supported Bernie, and then I watch as the DNC used "super delegates" to completely screw Bernie and rig the primary so obviously. It was blatant corruption to promote one of the another very evil elitist, Hillary who was friends Epstein and she's the queen of Wall Street. I hate Wall Street. The priorities of Wall Street have always been at odds with what is good for the American people. No one ever brings this up anymore. It's like ancient history now, but Bernie won a large majority of the delegates that are assigned by popular vote, but got screwed by the "superdelegates" who can make sure what happens is "good for the party". Right there my very first time voting I watched as the party of "good guys" said "we don't actually give a frick what you want." Then the next election was Joe Biden. Are you fricking kidding me. The same bullshit about lesser of two evils and all this... (1)

Honestly, man.I voted for Gary Johnson back in 2016. In 2020, I would've voted for Tulsi Gabbard, but she didn't make the cut for the Dems. I instead voted for Jo Jorgensen.This cycle, I just didn't vote. No one on any side had any good policies and were panning on sensationalism.I don't feel indifferent, I just feel disappointed that this is the best we could come up with. You either get incompetent democrats or you get corporate owned Republicans.At no point do I enjoy what I see. We have a spending problem. We have a housing crisis. Government keeps declining the quality of education and healthcare. We have a border and national security issue. Our government is way too big, and way too powerful. If they can't tax you, they'll hit you with fees, and if you don't pay the fees, they'll fine you. You can't own or build anything without permits, which is just paid permission. Corporations aren't taxed; they're using loop holes. The ultra wealthy stashes their money in untouchable tru... (3)
