Everything on the pitch looks more realistic from the stadiums, the players' movement, intelligence, and the way the ball moves through the air. The 3D match engine has seen huge improvements this year. You're in the hot-seat, which means you decide on who plays and who sits on the bench, you're in total control of tactics, team-talks, substitutions and pitch-side instructions as you follow the match live with the acclaimed 3D match engine allowing YOU to make the difference!Īs well as some landmark new features in the Career Mode, there are now new ways to enjoy your Football Manager experience.

Football Manager 2013 celebrates 20 years of games from the people at Sports Interactive by introducing an array of new features. If you're patient enough for the full fat experience however, you can find Football Manager 2023 via Steam and Epic for £45/€60, or via PC Game Pass for the price of your monthly subscription.Football Manager is the best-selling, most realistic football management series ever made. This year, it's available on Nintendo Switch and iOS devices via Apple Arcade. That edition was renamed Football Manager Touch and more recently has not been released on PC. More recently, I've played it most in its "Classic" edition, which stripped back much of the modern faff of digital management - press conferences, training sessions, more press conferences - in favour of a version more closely aligned with the Championship Manager of old. I've played a lot of Football Manager over the past, oh no, 26 years. I'd rank this year's collection of updates as marginally better than that one year they made a big deal about having burger stands outside the stadiums.


As a collection of features, it's not groundbreaking - but Football Manager never is. From here, you can theoretically make decisions about recruitment, spotting that your right-back position will need reinforcements 18 months in the future and directing your staff to start scouting replacements or developing youngsters.įM2023 also brags that it has improved AI managers, new player animations, and a new "fan confidence" rating to go alongside the longstanding "board confidence" meter. This is a new screen that gathers together information about your squad to allow you to see at a glance how many players deep you are at each position, and what the squad might look like one and two seasons in advance. This year's new features include a "Squad Planner and Experience Matrix".
