Sports Interactive has released update 26.1.1 today and one of the biggest changes that has come part of this is a more detailed halt time and full time match report screen. Prior to the update, this screen would give very basic information showing the score, goalscorers, one teamâs player ratings and match stats. The new screen show shows both teamâs player ratings, all the scores from around the league, and a better live league view. There are also a lot more match stats in the stats section. You can see the new screen below.
The Football Manager update 26.1.1 has also addressed different logic issues, with these relating to player and staff contract renewals, the assistant managerâs creation of mentoring groups, and expanding the active recruitment focuses to cover all active competitions in the game. You can check out the changelog below.
