The wording on FMM is so ambiguous its hard to work out
Is it gonna be Netflix subscription only?
Or can you still pay the one of fee on the appstore?
If its netflix subscription only they have signed their own death warrant IMO as i doubt even 50% of current FMM players have a Netflix subscription
You’ll need a Netflix account and subscription to play FM24 Mobile.
A weird collaboration, I assume Netflix have paid Sports Interactive a decent chunk of money for the rights to help them launch their gaming offering. So it’s unlikely that Sports Interactive will care too much about how many people actually play if they’ve already been paid for what is essentially a side offering to the main game.
“If you’re an existing player with a Netflix membership, you'll be able to find and install FM24 Mobile through the Netflix mobile app when the game launches in November. It will appear in a dedicated Games row on Apple phones and a separate Games tab on Android devices*.
Players can still find FM24 Mobile on the App Store and Google Play, but you’ll need a Netflix account to login and begin your next journey to footballing greatness.
If you’re not logged in to Netflix on your device, you will receive a sign-in prompt upon reaching the game’s loading screen. At this point you’ll either need to enter your Netflix account details or sign up for a new membership.”

So you will need an active subscription
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Might not care about the money but surely they will care when they have half the amount of downloads/reviews gameplay hours, people tweeting about FMM24
Used to be a one of payment of £8.99 now you need to pay a monthly subscription for a mobile app, doesn't seem right to me
Hopefully FMM25 they realise they messed up and revert to normal so i only have to go 1 year without
It’ll usually come down to the benefit they get from adding a league. To do so means they need better research and put resources into making it playable and testing it. There’s probably not a big enough market for selling the game in Saudi Arabia. I can’t imagine a significant enough number of users playing in that league to justify it either.
I’m sure Saudi clubs in game will behave more like they do in real life, they always aim to reflect things like that which are are changing in the real world.
League has only really become a thing in the past couple of months, so there's no way they'd have had the time to research the league properly and get info on all the players and staff at all the Saudi clubs in time for the launch.
If it continues to grow with loads of big players going there then i'd expect they might have to add it at some point.
So I'm guessing Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in the game? I kind of like the appeal of managing a Saudi team taking on all the old has beens for inflated amounts of cash.
