Press release by SIgames on Football Manager 2010
FM2010 is coming out very soon and Sigames are releasing new information on the game all the time so I have taken a look at the new features and will write what I think of those.Backroom advice
Stats, stats and more stats...come on FM players love stats so improvements where you're given more details on your players is a good new feature. How much detail there is I personally have felt has been a problem with FM recently so we're see when the demo comes out but this is a promising feature I think. FM is all about numbers so the more stuff for you to trigger your imagination is a good thing surely?
Improvements to match engine
Sigames have talked about how the match engine has been improved in terms of how realistic it is but not only that they have improved the look a lot from the looks of it. Added are fans in the stadium, the numbers influenced by the attendence (makes sense!), weather affects, crowd reactions etc. This sounds cool and although im sure some will shoot this down as being nothing I think adding things like this is great and will make watching the games better.
New tactics creator
This seems to be the exact same thing added to Football Manager live as I left the gameworld I was in. I have to say I think its a very good feature especially for the casual gamer. It will make them think they're tactical geniuses with a few clicks of a button! It will also be great for people like myself who have short attention spans and want to get it done quickly and create various different tactics quickly. Check out the video below.
The idea is simply that you describe what you want from your team, passing style, where you want a premier league team style of passing the ball around or third division hoof the ball tactic. It breaks down everything to minor details making it easy to describe how you want your team to play, whether they will is another thing all together!
Touchline shouts
At long last! Jeez how long did it take to get something like this added to a Football manager game!! You know what though, not many people have really suggested it either. It makes sense you see if at every game from every manager there is, they shout instructions to their players from the touchline so why has this never been in a football manager game? Other than is being a game where you use you imagination it does make sense to have it in.
I'm going to guess this will be limited being a new feature and will be developed further in the future, just like half time instructions I don't see this being an amazing feature but we're see what they do with this in the future but brilliant addition!
New touchline shouts are:
Retain Possession Get Ball Forward Pass Into Space Pass To Feet Pump Ball Into Box Clear Ball To Flanks Shoot On Sight Work Ball Into Box Exploit the Flanks Exploit the Middle Look For Overlap Take A Breather Play Wider Play Narrower Push High Up Drop Deeper Hassle Opponents Stand Off Opponents Get Stuck In Stay On Feet Play Even Safer Take More Risks
Thats all for now ill continue this with part two shortly
