Sports Interactive, the developer behind Football Manager, has made the tough decision to cancel the release of Football Manager 2025 due to not meeting their desired standards. The game was delayed twice and was deemed not ready for release, leading to its complete cancellation. The developer expressed apologies to fans and announced that they will focus on the next release instead. This move was preferred over releasing the game in an unsatisfactory state and patching it later. Fans will now have to wait for Football Manager 2026, with hopes for an exceptional gaming experience.
