Football Manager 2022: Successful formula is being developed

Football Manager (additionally referred to as Worldwide Football Manager in North America from 2004 to 2008) is a collection of football management simulation computer game created by British developer Sports Interactive and also published by Sega. The game started its life in 1992 as Championship Manager. Nonetheless, complying with the split of their partnership with initial publishers Eidos Interactive, activated by the mess launch of CM4 in 2003, Sports Interactive shed the identifying civil liberties to Eidos Interactive, but maintained the game engine and data and also re-branded the game Football Manager with their brand-new publisher Sega. The most recent variation of Football Manager, titled Football Manager 2021, was launched on 10 November 2020 (Early Accessibility Beta) adhered to by the complete launched on 24 November 2020. As of February 2021, the collection has marketed over 33 million duplicates.

This year, too, a new Football Manager (FM) of Publisher Sega and Sports Interactive (SI) appears, which dominate the genre with its annual franchise. Similar to other sports games, the new offshoot of FM promises minimal changes at the usual game as a gameplay revolution.

This is also the case with FM 22. game Esport could play an early alpha version of the game and can confirm: The latest part of the successful manager series is a consistent further development of the successful formula.

The game remains the same

It should be a matter of course with an annual series that partly part of part change a few basic elements on the game This is also the case: Anyone who has played a Football Manager of Si in recent years, is also fast in FM 22 find their way. The manager simulation is still the genre primus. Who wants to play a complex and complex representation of the football manager everyday life, is here at the right address. Take a club as a manager and coach and leads him to success. The formula is known.

FM 22 remains loyal, and still offers a sheer endless number of options and tasks. No matter what the football fan can imagine, from entrance rates above the field length to the width of the five-chain, all this can be set here by the player. This is the football manager in terms of claim and complexity still a class for itself, FIFA or We Are Football can not quite keep up. However, from the new competition from Germany, SI could learn something in terms of speed: In direct comparison, the alpha version of FM 22 seemed a bit trimmed, which can lead to frustration.

New data center as a meaningful innovation

One of the biggest innovations is the data center. It is a new sub-item in the main menu and represents a meaningful extension for your work as a manager. In this area you can see all the important data to the playful performance of your team. Anyone who can not have enough of Expected Goals (XG), passes per minute and possession per sector will be fully operated here.

How much you interact as a manager with the new headquarters is left to you. You can decide how much information and what data you want to see. These data are also used to generate reports on coming opponents and suggestions on the preparation of your team.

Although the menu has overloaded as soon as you get used to the different facets, it is a useful and beautifully presented tool for all managers. Data collection and processing are intended to be more detailed and sophisticated in the further gameplay, the quality of your analysts also plays a role. In our previous play-time, we could not capture the full extent of the new database yet.

Graphical representation of games still under FIFA level

Another innovation, which was announced in the run-up to Sega and SI, concerns the engine with which the successful football matches are displayed in 3D graphics. This should have been revised in this year s offshoot to present the action on the lawn more dynamic and more realistic. However, there is little to remember in the advance version. The 3D simulation is a nice variety to the sea on tables and menus, with which one deals constantly in FM. However, graphically, the presentation is still too chunky and by far no eye-catching.

However, since the ALPHA version played does not yet correspond to the final state of Football Manager 2022, it remains to be seen whether until the publication is still changing. Fun makes the game so far, but all. The virtues of the series were reappeared well and carefully, the new data center is a meaningful extension of the previous repertoire. Whether it is worth to access this year with Football Manager 2022 will be decided once the game on November 9, will appear for PC.
