Sega's Unexpected Move: 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 an unfinished game 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 a refreshing change compared to the often-lackluster updates seen in other sports game franchises.

While this honesty is appreciated, the news remains disappointing. Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update, potentially impacting players who rely on the game's up-to-date rosters and statistics. This lack of updates is particularly concerning given the game's history of helping virtual managers secure real-world coaching positions. For the coming year, players will only have access to the older version.

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