  • Description:
    Quote:

    The latest iteration of the successful Football Manager series (successor since 2005 to the Championship Manager series) boasts quite a handful of new features. Football Manager 2010 was a rinse and polish iteration as Miles Jacobson (Studio Director of SI) had said, so this year they had the chance to add many new features, most being requests from the people that play the game.

    Highlight new features (with other features TBA) include:
    * Contract Negotiations - making its debut in Football Manager 2011 is a new live contract negotiation system, with a host of new contract clauses. Learn to deal with different types of agents as you try to secure your next big signing.
    * Re-vamped training system - including more basic training schedules and individual training focus where players can be in trained in 14 different skill areas. Plus, a new match preparation area, where you can get your team to concentrate on special focus areas, and train in specific tactics, in the lead up to a match.
    * Improved Interaction - new board request and backroom advice options as well as a new player interaction module allowing you to have private conversations with your players, including lots of options never seen before, taking interaction to a whole new level.
    * News subscription service - expanded to make the way that news and mail is distributed even more user friendly and immersive. Dozens of additional news items and a new module written to add more intelligence in the news items themselves.
    * Match View - play under the glare of the floodlights for the first time with night matches and over 100 new animations including player models, stadiums, goal celebrations and much, much more. Not forgetting improvements to what was already the best match simulation on the market.
    * Dynamic League Reputation - a new feature meaning as teams get stronger and perform better on a continental level, the league they play in will also get stronger, attracting more players to want to play in the league and a more accurate modelling of the changing face of world football.


  • Multiplayer: YES (hotseat or network)
  • System requirements: TBA
  • Protection: Not available yet
  • Multilanguage: YES
  • News article/s: To be added
  • Preview: To be added
  • Review: To be added
  • Demo: To be added
  • Screenshots: Official website
  • Trailer:


Personal comment: The new features sound really exciting. Really, really exciting. With the improvements on the Match Engine, the only thing that worries me is the amount of hours and days I'm going to spend playing yet another iteration of Football Manager. But release date "Before Christmas 2010"? They're killing us.

Yeah, I have to agree. I'm usually playing the Greek league, and even though my team has reached the 7th spot in the UEFA rankings, the reputation of players I can sign remains similar. Also, it's very hard to keep players who have proved to be great talents at the team, even though the buying team hasn't entered the Champions League in years. Reputation should be a dynamic thing, and teams shouldn't just remain -great- by their pre-determined reputation, no matter how they're doing in their league.

Dynamic League Reputation will definitely fix this.

I really think footy manager needs to add an option where you can build upgrades to your stadium and surrounding areas?
Or something along them lines?
I hardly played 10 and this doesn't seem nothing spectacular imo for the purchase.

As with every FM game, this will be a slight upgrade over FM2010, probably fix bugs we had in FM2010 even after a year and 3 patches but will also come with its own bugs, that won't get fixed in the 3 patches we get and then we have to suffer them until the next "expansion" next year.

FM franchise is a disgrace and those guys don't deserve a penny, they bring out small upgrades over the previous title year in year out and fail to fix bugs while giving us 3 retarded patches that do pretty much nothing.

I used to buy FM games but no chance of that now, hopefully this is playable without needing to wait months for a patch like we did with FM 2010. Why the hell it takes them over a year to bring out the games that are not much different to the last FM is beyond me.

kingpug, you haven't even read the announcement, have you? This time they focused on features, with the highlight ones having already been announced, and many more yet to be. And I understand what a complex game FM is, so I've learned to appreciate the work they're putting into supporting it by ironing out as many bugs as they can. I have yet to encounter a game-breaking bug, but I guess you have.

The support SI offers and how much they respect the community is much more than many other developers and publishers do. At least SI takes notice of all bug reports and makes sure to do their best to fix them, instead of getting out patches that do nothing or even leaving the game with no support post-release.

Calling the FM franchise a disgrace is just unfair. I believe they've done a pretty good job, FM is a really, really complex game and the time I spend on it each year is more than the sum of the hours spent on all the other games that come between FM releases.

Now we just need one more feature: selecting more players at once to scout them or introduction of keyboard shortcut for scouting a player. Selecting every time different player in those U-xx teams to scout them is so annoying.

Football Manager 2011 demo out Thursday
Quote:

According to our chums at PC Gamer, the demo will come in two flavours; the 'strawberry' version will feature 12 playable leagues including England, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

The smaller, 'vanilla' version will contain the English and Scottish leagues, for those of you who can't be arsed to download gigabytes of Swedish fullbacks.

The strawberry demo will hit Steam on Thursday, with both the strawberry and vanilla versions becoming available for direct download from the Sports Interactive and Football Manager sites on Friday.
