FM25’s delay is due to the shift to the Unity game engine. This change promises enhanced graphics and smoother gameplay, though it’s presented technical challenges that need more time to overcome.
The development team is committed to making FM25 the best version yet. The extra time allows for refining features like women’s football and integrating the Premier League license, which will bring more realism to the game.
What is quite rude on the part of Sports Interactive is that they do not respect the scheduled dates nor do they officially announce the postponement and release date.
