Football Manager Series

Launch patch notes (source):

Technical
  • Various crash and stability fixes
  • Updated in-game translations for multiple languages
  • Continue button no longer freezes after ticking/unticking ‘attend match’ when on specific European Competitions
  • Fixed a Soft lock that would sometimes occur on the Opposition Report message when using 1280x720 resolution
  • The Japanese (Men) national team is now playable

User Interface (UI)
  • Newgens in Denmark will now have parity between display name and full name
  • Stopping Centre-Back now displays the correct role description
  • Correct frequency options now selectable when creating set-piece routines
  • '(a)' now shows for away fixtures in the UEFA Champions League draw message item
  • Fixed an issue where adding columns to a table would hide the default columns, preventing them from being re-added until the number of columns was reduced
  • Navigation tabs no longer have a colour clash when manging both Club and International Teams that have White set as the team colour
  • Place of Birth menu options now display correctly after backing out of new game/manager creation

Match Engine
  • Adjusted the number the number of pushes giving away fouls and yellow cards
  • The goal replay camera no longer gets stuck at the corner kick angle
  • Player is no longer able to cancel a forced injury substitution, which would leave them with 10 players

Gameplay
  • Spacebar now cycles through Unread messages by default
  • Added a 'Acknowledge All Advice' button added to the Staff Advice screen
  • Clicking on messages or performing an action within a message will now always take you to the desired screen, instead of instances of moving to the top of the message list
  • Fixed a rare issue where the assistant manager would answer press conference questions as if they were the first team manager
  • Fixed an issue where the Progress Report news item would describe a young Newgen as ‘past their peak’

Following this, the first post-launch update is set to arrive later this month. A key focus of this update is addressing some of the common player feedback on the 3D match engine, which includes defensive behaviour and attacking patterns of play. Alongside this, we expect to be able to include the additional scaling options for 1080p monitors, further UI improvements, AI transfer behaviour tweaks etc.
 
I just downloaded this and as someone who is just a very casual player , this is an improvement over '26. I uninstalled '26 after a few days. This one, at least UI and information is much improved. Games don't last 10min now.
Justdid a few weeks / games so Im sure there will be some quirks later. This was on pc. Will try on xbox to see performance as even after 6 months last years game was atrocious
 
Currently away with work and 900KB internet in the Premier Inn, so can't do anything.
I will add all the 2027 files tomorrow morning.

Most graphics have been released and if anyone thinks there should be anything added then please state and I will upload.

Thank you for this. Im almost sure but all of this wont need a restart in a career mode right?
Also, stupid question, I see you have the 3D kits in the folder, are those for most teams? As the size is kinda small. Do you have 2D kits for when you are in the menu?
If I move kits folder from 2026 , would that still work? (I know they wouldnt be updated

Again , thanks for the onedrive folders

The graphics you won't need to restart a career mode.

If you use the tools - So data update and licenses fix - These DO require a new game to be started to take effect.
If you have started a career already and enjoy it, then don't worry it too much.
 
My god the UI is absolute dog sheet.
Started playing the game properly tonight for the first time and so many things wrong with the UI and I am just trying to hire new staff.

The back button on your mouse always takes you back to the 'Overview' and not back to the page you were.
The main staff page you can't click on the staff member even though they are named you have to click Coaching Team and then click the member of staff, then you click back on your mouse and it takes you to the page you were then on.
The UI is absolutely confusing.

The logic in the decisions for the UI is mind boggling - Maybe it works for console players but for me it is awful.

Will try and get used to it but my god the UI sucks.

Try a skin with a sidebar.

I've seen lots of people on Twitter decrying this and saying "omg just get used to the top bar". But it's nonsense - every week or two, I want to move through quite a few different areas, and they can all be accessed instantly with a single click on the sidebar.

With the top bar, you need to open a menu, then click on a submenu, and even then you might not find what you're looking for. I can just work down every item on the sidebar one click after another to make sure everything is as expected (e.g. finances).
 
So been playing the game now for a few hours and 10 games in with Man Utd.
It seems the difficulty has not been changed.

Comfortably top of the league with 28 points.
Won every Champions League game and progressed in the cup.

Will need to change to another club now but this is the one of the reasons I stopped with FM 26.

There is also some massive bugs in the game when if you are like me and delegate your tasks to staff.

All you do is go on about how easy it is, I don't find it easy at all and I know loads of others are struggling too. Not really sure what to suggest to you!

I did try telling you the game was dead last year and you called me dramatic.

Hey thank you for this. I don't see it in the folder, but I would also recommend adding the 2D kits folder.
One huge favor to ask, would it be possible (if it's not too big in size ) to add the folder of the logo competitions? I know it is included in the 5GB file, but I just moved my FM24 Logo pack and it loaded all except the competitions (Serie A, etc) and don't want to download the entire pack for it

I will add more stuff as and when it becomes available.
I will have a look at the Logo files but when you open the zip file you only have to extract what you need from the file.

I think it seems the match engine has barely changed from last year but there is a patch coming soon which hopefully will stop the usual high intensity formations from being overpowered.

I used the below link and got the 2d kits in case you want to check it out/add them, so the real kits show in the menus

https://www.passion4fm.com/fm27-2026-27-kitpack-by-franklyfm84/

Thanks for the logo files, I meant if you had the unzipped folder easily accessible so I don't have to download the entire 7.88GB zip file. But it's not a big deal.

I compiled a list of the mods I personally use the other day, I'll post it here too.

I would personally recommend, for the kits, using FMKitsHub (which adds a button to the start screen of the game and allows you to download some decent quality kits, both 2D and 3D, with the click of a button). It's so much easier than having to maintain loads of different sources and/or visit a web page to see if everything is up-to-date.

As for logos, the TCM Logos pack is the best around IMO and it includes competitions.
