The 3D match engine has also had a significant upgrade. You’re also shown a little pitch diagram that shows where the assists have come from so you know where they’re most vulnerable and most potent. You’ll get to see at-a-glance percentages for when goals are scored – for and against – and what formations they’re most successful with or vulnerable to. There’s also a bit more statistical information in your inbox when the next opponent is scouted. Click that and the assistant sets up the instructions he thinks best. Now that notification has a simple “apply advice” button right there on the match screen. Making it easier to react to events and situations seems to have been at the heart of most of what the team did with this year’s FM, lots of the ostensibly minute changes have altered the ease with which you can play the game exponentially.įor example, the dialogue boxes that pop up during matches, where your assistant tells you we’re not getting enough shots on target or a certain opposition player needs to be closed down, used to give valuable information that you then had to dig in to instructions in order to act upon. You can also suggest terms of a negotiation and get feedback before you submit the offer, making transfers and loans much swifter topics of discussion. The attitude selectors (calm, assertive, etc.) are now a little less vague than they had appeared in the past, with the reciprocation of the person you’re talking to becoming a little easier to predict. Those conversations, including the staff and player conversations, have had a bit of an overhaul and some streamlining too. You can also respond to transfer offers, press conferences and reporters questions directly in your inbox, saving you that transition. The calendar that displays as the game is processing other fixtures is a good example – things like fixtures and milestones are displayed, with news headlines popping up as they happen. The game has become much more capable at giving you a bit more information in the places where it’s most useful to you. There’s an option to increase text size so it works well with Steam’s Big Picture mode too, if you’re viewing it on a more distant screen. It’s not a huge change but the whole interface has had a fresh coat of polish and there have been some useful tweaks to how it works and the information that is displayed by default. The first thing you’ll notice is the overhaul of the graphics. It would be impractical to list every minor change to the way the game works or is displayed here so we’ll just try to stick to pointing out the most striking changes and the things that make the biggest differences to how the game plays.
