Remember the “Offer Bung” option in USM 98? Good times!
I wonder this too. This could really damage them. But miles will still be talking about the amazing face paint they used to have
I think you mean FA Premier League Football Manager, aka FAPLFM
The FA Premier League Football Manager 99 to be exact.
No official FM24 update. Sit and wait for 25.
It's negative announcement after negative announcement 
They had 3-4 years to get this right, while releasing versions with little to no growth under the guise of “focusing on the new engine”
A little bit of goodwill goes a long way in situations like this.

All they have to do is show ten seconds of the new match engine. How hard can that be? I mean, really. Ten freaking seconds. It's nothing. Absolutely nothing. You can't even use the "it's not ready" schtick, because you should be able to produce a tiny clip of what the 3D match engine looks like visually and in motion by now.
From experience if a company is completely unwilling to show anything it’s because it is either broken or terrible.
Maybe one of the devs hard coded ‘Miles is a knob’ into the advertising hoardings around the stadium.
Will Football Manager 2025 be discounted?
A release two months before the season ends.

It's more that it's 6-7 months before 2026 is due to be released if they plan to get back on their usual schedule. Furthermore, they tend to need a patch or two as well, so I don't know how they expect to be able to dedicate enough resources to both versions.
It will be FM26 that suffers, I don't see how they will manage to make that anything more than a facelift of FM25 if they insist on meeting their usual release window.
If they are just honest about that and price accordingly, it won't even be an issue to most......but they won't do that.

If they are negotiating licences and stuff I'd personally try to negotiate a two year deal so FM 26 is a version that lasts until FM 28, and they skip FM 27 and just consistently work on trying to make the new games better.
Hate that I'm doing it to myself but I'm ready for this now...and we were told we would start to hear things at the end of January...
Did they confirm it would be January 2025 though?
Will a lot of people just not bother with 2025 and just go straight for 26? Any bugs from 25 might take a few months to fix and 26 will likely just be the same game but with updated squads and bugs fixed?
Apparently they've added a new hidden attribute.
Shithousery.
Just so Arsenal fans can realistically recreate their own teams' identity.

Feel like they are going to have to work incredibly hard to create hype for this.
I've been a FM player for 20+ years and I'm not really arsed about it with the way it's all been botched. I keep forgetting that it's even due out relatively soon.

Same and I think genuinely with the season half done so many will just opt to wait for the next one and keep playing 24 rather than take this for a few months, they also mention this "This additional time has not been sufficient to ensure the game quality and experience meets your expectations and our very high standards. " on their roadmap on the website which makes me wonder what additional content/ functionality this will even have.
Anyone remember reading in the PC World magazine the first ever photos of Championship Manager 2?
What a night and day jump in production and graphics. After getting used to the CM93 visuals, CM2 photographs looked insane. I remember looking at them and getting out the pen and pad and writing down potential formations.

To be fair, that’s FM for the past few years.
How old are you?
43 just turned. I got hooked on CM'93 as a fresh teen.
Still can't believe that the actual plan there, up until the last minute, was to release a completely unfinished shell of a game two months ago.
They still haven't been able to show anything worth seeing even now.

Didn't they even announced the date a month prior?
