What are the new features in Football Manager 2024?
Packed with exciting features and enhancements, FM2024 elevates the gameplay experience. Notable upgrades include enhancements to matchdays, tactical strategies, set pieces, and transfer dynamics. The game's immersive match experience is further enriched by improvements in player movement, ball physics, and lighting.
Smarter transfers
FM24 introduces a streamlined player selling process through intermediaries, simplifying the offloading of players. The option to consult a player's agent for insights on their willingness to move adds a realistic touch. Additionally, FM24 embraces the Saudi Pro League and marks the official debut of the J.League, expanding its representation of global football.
Individual player targets
In the current landscape of contract negotiations, managers can now set targets for players, adding a layer of dynamism beyond simple promises. Players themselves have the ability to raise queries about these targets. Furthermore, if a player falls short in training, managers have the option to specify performance thresholds before considering them for the team.
New modes for the game
For managers seeking a customized experience, the option now exists to commence a season without real-world transfers. Alternatively, for those who prefer realism, allowing transfers to unfold in real-time is an exciting choice, ensuring that midseason deals align with the actual occurrences. This feature proves valuable for gamers who might want to diverge from their team's transfer decisions during the window.
Transferable games
Breaking new ground, gamers can now seamlessly transfer their FM23 journey into Football Manager 2024. Studio director Miles Jacobson shared, "Upon launching Football Manager 2024, you'll have the option to seamlessly continue your FM23 narrative, picking up right where you left off—empowered with the fresh features and enhancements FM24 brings." This feature isn't exclusive to this year's version, as the plan extends to allow saved games from FM24 to transition into FM25, promising continuity despite the significant changes in FM25.
Will Football Manager 2024 be the last one?
Despite Miles Jacobson's enigmatic declaration of "the last of its kind," it merely points to FM25 taking a completely different direction. In June, Sports Interactive confirmed a groundbreaking shift for its award-winning Football Manager series with the upcoming release of FM25. The game is poised to integrate women's football into the singular game universe, and the match engine is transitioning to Unity to enhance overall graphics and in-game animations.
Jacobson expressed, "Football Manager 2024 marks the 20th game in Sports Interactive’s Football Manager series and signifies the conclusion of its current form." He continued, "It serves as a tribute to football and the FM series as we've known it. FM24 signals the end of a chapter after two decades of reigning atop the management simulation league. However, it's by no means the conclusion of our story…"
