Pick a Continue Flow
Choose a preset when you begin your first career. Streamlined suits fast seasons, and Comprehensive shows the most.
FM 27 UI and Navigation
The FM27 UI splits the game into six primary sections, moves navigation out of tiles and into top menus, and adds Large, Medium and Small scaling on 1440p and 4K screens. Four Continue Flow presets then decide how often the game stops.
6 Primary menu sections
3 Scaling modes
4 Continue Flow presets
4 Customisation tools
Set up the interface for your first save
Five settings make the biggest difference to how FM27 feels. All except the first are reached from Preferences or on screen.
Set your scaling
On a 1440p or 4K monitor, try Medium or Small if you want more information on each screen.
Move your landing screens
Send Squad straight to the first team, for example, instead of the overview.
Remap shortcuts
Edit the in-game keyboard shortcuts to match the screens you open most.
Label your bookmarks
Pin your key screens, add text descriptors and reorder them for each phase of the season.
The six primary sections
In FM26 a tile both showed information and took you somewhere. FM27 refocuses tiles on information, and almost all navigation now sits in the primary and secondary menus at the top of the screen.
- Portal
- Carries news and tables, and selected tiles can be swapped for another of the same size.
- Squad
- Opens on your squad, and its menu covers first team, youth team, dynamics and loans.
- Tactics
- Takes you straight to your tactics, with Tactical Effectiveness gauges in view.
- Recruitment
- Agent Offers stay visible here for the whole window, beside budgets and staff advice.
- Training
- Promoted to the primary menu, so you can switch to it from any screen.
- Club
- Shows a side's identity and history, its manager, top scorers, latest transfers and news.
Control panels and full-screen cards
Main screens now gather their key actions in a panel below the menus, so you act without leaving the page. Many former cards also open full-screen, which means fewer windows to close.
- Squad panel
- Holds actions such as calling a team meeting or delegating responsibilities.
- Recruitment panel
- Holds actions such as adjusting your transfer budget or reviewing staff advice.
- Secondary toggle
- The returning toggle button switches between screens in an area without going back to the overview.
Scaling and ultrawide monitors
The UI now reads your screen size and resolution, then rearranges screens to reduce empty space. Tables show as many rows as fit without scrolling, and fonts are larger across the game.
| Screen | Scaling modes | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Below 1440p | Default layout | Larger fonts and adaptive tables |
| QHD and 4K | Large, Medium, Small | Choose how much information loads on each screen |
| Ultrawide | Applied on load | Wide tables rescale to fill the extra space |
Continue Flow presets
Continue Flow appears when you begin your first career and sets how often the game pauses. Clicking continue also lands you on more screens outside the Portal, and every option can be changed later in Preferences.
Streamlined
Fewer breaks, for managers who want to speed through the weeks toward match days.
Balanced
A middle setting that stops for more insight and information than Streamlined.
Comprehensive
The fullest preset, for managers who want information as it happens.
Custom
Set how often the game stops for messages, results, fixtures and news updates.
A separate setting decides whether the Continue button works through your messages or moves on with messages still unread.
Customisation tools
Four tools fit the interface to your habits. Landing screens and shortcuts live in Preferences, while bookmarks and tiles change on screen.
Landing screens
Choose the page each primary menu option opens, so the area you use most is fewer clicks away.
Shortcut remapping
Reassign the in-game keyboard shortcuts to whatever suits you.
Bookmarks
Add text labels to saved screens, and rearrange them on the bar as the season changes.
Tile swapping
Swap the Transfer Window tile on Recruitment for affiliate clubs or transfer history. The Match Day Interface has tile swapping too.
Messages and reports
The inbox now holds more of the information you used to open elsewhere, and colour coding by topic shows what matters first.
- Colour coding
- Each topic has its own colour, and messages make better use of the space.
- Scout reports
- A scout report message now contains the report itself.
- Transfer offers
- Several bids for one player land in a single message.
- Tooltips
- More of them explain details such as staff attributes and medical reports.
- Monthly reports
- They now cover finances, young players on loan and how the board and fans rate you.
Frequently asked questions
Does FM27 support ultrawide monitors?
Yes. Support starts as soon as you load in on a relevant monitor, and tables with many columns rescale to use the extra width.
Why can't I find the scaling modes?
Large, Medium and Small are only available on QHD or 4K monitors, which means 1440p and above. Look in the Preferences menu once you are on one.
Can I change Continue Flow during a save?
Yes. You can alter the preset and the Continue button behaviour at any point from Preferences.
Does FM27 have fewer cards than FM26?
Yes. Many of those information points are now full-screen views, with clear guidance on where to go next.
