A REVIEW OF FOOTBALL MANAGER 2023 The biggest signing FM has made so far is a Champions League license.
Even though the World Cup is approaching, the release of the new Football Manager game is what many football enthusiasts have the most to look forward to this month rather than the sport's premier championship.
It's also for good reason. Football Manager has developed into a massive franchise since it split off from the Championship Manager series in 2004. Its constant updates, updates, and tweaks have made Football Manager the best football game available in all formats.
However, updating a game for a yearly release with new features and formats can be a challenging task, especially for a game that isn't overly dependent on graphical splendor as the core of its offering and consistently scores highly on playability.
If there is one thing that Football Manager may be criticized for, it is that there is still a small amount of a "spreadsheet" component to the game. That is to say, the presentation has come across as clumsy and not really captivating. Only names, numbers, and subtle color variations are used to differentiate teams from other teams. If you're looking for immediate action, stick to first-person shooting games.
Practical aspects can also lag at times. Simple actions like scouting a right-back required some user interface surfing before you fully understood what you were doing, especially if you were a new player.
However, there are a few enticing new elements for this season that undoubtedly hint to the creation of a very svelte product moving forward in the series.
The achievement of the UEFA license to host the three major tournaments, including the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League, is the most noteworthy development this year.
FM players have found it amusing how far some fans will go to customize their matchday experience throughout the years. The oldest of them might put on a suit and play the FA Cup final on your laptop, while others would have the Champions League music ready to play on European nights.
Sports Interactive is currently not giving away free suits, but they are filling in where there are holes. The Champions League anthem and the iconic scene of players entering the field as the competition's logo is projected in the center circle are both now included in the game. No matter how often you hear about or witness something, it never gets old, does it? To skip it would be a sin.
Additionally, there are recognizable Champions League graphics on display, which truly helps the game look more polished than it ever has.
It has never been more tempting to attempt the long-term project of getting Notts County to walk out to Champions League music in a Bianconeri derby versus Juventus at a renovated Meadow Lane.
This beautifully sets up the topic of aesthetics, as FM boasts brand-new animations for the live matches in addition to enhancing the AI.
According to who you support and how highly you regard your club's manager, you can view the AI update that made opposing managers wiser and better at manipulating a scenario during a game as a welcome realistic upgrade or as wishful thinking.
This year's "supporter confidence" section is a much-appreciated new addition. In previous additions, your performance was mostly evaluated in light of the requests made by the club board, with supporters playing a largely insignificant supporting role.
This year, everything has changed; they are making demands of you on their own behalf, and depending on the club you manage, this may have a significant impact on the board's thinking.
