You are not one of the craziest football fans if you don't keep up with the updates about the Football Manager game, which unleashes the coach inside us and lets us take full control of the very minute details of a football club.
Football Manager, a game which is developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega Enterprises, gives a user the near-perfect football management world simulation at his fingertips. The game started off as Championship manager in the early 2000s, but slowly as the stakeholders and promoters to the game increased, it got worldwide recognition as Football Manager.
The Franchise's new edition, the Football Manager 19, releases on November 2, 2018 and just today, the developers have dropped some of the upgrades the game has received from the 2018 edition which was launched last year. Trust me, the overhauls are huge. So, without much ado, let's head straight to the Top 5 New features announced today!
#5 Fresh New User Interface (UI)
As the tradition goes every year, Sports Interactive make some overhauls in the User Interface in every edition that's released year on year. Football Manager 19 is no different, the UI has been revamped to an even fresher look. Check it out.
The User Interface looks totally revamped even if the earlier edition, Football Manager 2018 boasted the biggest ever changes to the UI. FM 19 looks even sharper.
The Player Profile pictures are updated and reflect real life pictures, the club logos look more bright, and the jerseys are 3D now. Nice job, Sports Interactive.
#4 Official Bundesliga License
Sega and Sports Interactive have been chasing the Bundesliga license for Football Manager for over a decade now, and it's finally here.
Football Manager 19 features the official trophy names in the German league, official club names, player names, player pictures and much more to give an immersive experience to the manager who is aiming to make a career in the Bundesliga in the game.
More pictures from the in-game footage:
One thing's for sure, we might definitely see all the global league's licenses in Football Manager in the coming years, and Football Manager 19 leads all the editions, launching this year.
Bundesliga, Hier kommen wir! (Here we come!)
#3 Tactical Innovation
Want to control your team more on the field? Well, if you want 100% control of the game, you might go for FIFA 19, but if you want 99.99% of it and without even having to play the game yourself, go for Football Manager 19.
One of the craziest feature drops this year, is the Tactical Innovation in Football Manager 19. It takes the game to such deep levels that you can control your team's formation, approach and game style when you are in possession of the ball, when you are not, when you are either defending or you are attacking.
You can even give individual player instructions in all these different scenarios, isn't the control being given in your hands by Sports Interactive crazily good? You bet.
#2 Training Module in Football Manager 19
Have a match this weekend? Grab your tracksuit and hit the ground running, in the all new Football Manager 19 Training Module. Here are some of the notable changes in the revamped Training functionalities:
If you are playing a team next which is good in aerial battles, you might specifically train the squad the whole week in aerial duels., take a look:
Managers can define Mentoring groups to create a better team chemistry within the squad and also help the youth players learn under the tutelage of the senior squad.
It will be mind-boggling to have worked on some specific training routines to prepare for a match on weekend, and then actually win the fixture by goals which were built using those same training routines.
The Game cannot get more realistic.
#1 VAR and Goal-Line Technology is here!
Talking about the game being realistic, the biggest feature drop of this year's edition of Football Manager is none other than VAR and Goal-Line Technology.
As seen in the above video, referees might stop the game if they want to refer to the Video Assistant Referees (VAR) and then can make some really game affecting decisions. Goal-Line Technology is another feature which impresses, as there won't be an type of prejudice with any player if the ball crosses the line and the referee doesn't notice.
Given the fact that it's a game after all, and when the matches are already covered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), there may not be many cases where the VAR and Goal-Line Technology might be used. But, it does make the game look more appealing.
Football Manager 19 releases on November 2, 2018 on PC/Mac/Switch/Smartphones.
