Despite fears of an impending video game crash fueled by high-profile game cancellations and layoffs, the cancellation of Football Manager 25 is more about timing than demand. Sports Interactive aimed for a significant enhancement in the game but recognized that releasing it mid-season would undermine its success. The company emphasized that the decision was made to meet quality standards rather than due to poor sales projections or insufficient interest.
The Football Manager games are usually released in November, early in European football seasons. Releasing one halfway through the season would be terrible timing for a football game.
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.
