As Euro 2024 is fast approaching, Tony Jameson and RDF Tactics ask the question 'How can international management be improved in FM25?'
Its not a game mode that is particularly popular, and with FM25 on the horizon, we wonder what can be done to make this more immersive. Does winning a World Cup feel special? Does qualifying for your first major tournament feel like an achievement? Why is the Nations League essentially just a bunch of friendlies?
