A new version of the massive FIFA Manager 2025 has been released. It's an ambitious that acts as fan-made unofficial mod that continuation of the series abandoned over decade ago by Electronic Arts.
Currently, the Football Manager series has no true competition. However, that wasn’t always the case. A long time ago, Electronic Arts had a rival franchise titled FIFA Manager. Sadly, its final installment was released in 2013. A group of fans decided they wouldn’t let the series be forgotten and for many years have been improving and updating FIFA Manager 14. The result of their efforts is a series of mods that serve as unofficial sequels.
The latest of these mods, titled FIFA Manager 2025, received its first major update just a few days ago.

This mod series delivers what you might expect from official continuations: updated databases, improved graphics, and a ton of new gameplay features and tweaks. Among other things, it introduces new formations and tactics, the option to directly control the team during 3D matches, and significantly expands player data. Bug fixes and improved AI are also included.
The quality of these modifications is impressive. This is far more than just a simple database update. The progress in graphics and gameplay mechanics compared to the base FIFA Manager 14 is massive — best illustrated by the fact that the mod files weigh in at almost 70 GB. All in all, it genuinely comes close to what a modern installment of the series might look like today, had Electronic Arts not abandoned it over a decade ago.
