Preview Football Manager 2022: Will the management game be a revolution?- Jeuxvideo.com

The last straight line

At the first glance, we were not disoriented by this preview version made available: the graphic aspect of the menus is more or less the same as football manager 2021 with viole-black colors, and we canalways model your manager at will.Ditto for the creation of a game, always as complete in the choice of the championship and the parameters to launch part of FM and a great coach career.For neophytes, aid is present to guide you in detail in the anthill of management possibilities, between the objectives to be defined with management, relations with players, press conferences or chat where you speak to journalists and players, the training center or the transfer market to improve your team.

Transfers, let's talk about it.Because the latter integrate a great novelty of the software, "the final stretch of the transfer window".For this final day of the transfer market, often very active for clubs in order to sell or eager to buy players, Football Manager modeled the treatment of this special day like a sports media.A "Live transfer" page is now in order (see screen opposite) with a live minute per minute which lists all the movements of this fair for the purchase of talents or Panic Buy (Urrge purchases not necessarilyrelevant).A rather nice addition to follow while refining your club on its side, combined with an AI which will be more logical on the transfer window at the end of the game.The other notable addition concerns the data center, a new section in the menus incorporates new statistical tables to analyze players' performance.The number of passes made by two players between them in each match, the pressing data, the detailed possession, etc..What thicken the software a little more (which didn't really need it).

Best in the 3D modeling of matches?

Already ultra-complete and sheltered from reproaches in management, Football Manager is finally observed for its progress on one point: modeling of 3D matches.The matching in match has already been improved last season, we expected more than graphic improvement or in animations.Unfortunately this year, Sports Interactive has not changed the 3D engine for its matches, but joins some new animations for its players.So, yes, the difference with last season is very fine, but hardcore players who use this 3D modeling will notice these little details.We may still find ourselves this year with a 3D engine below the crazy density of the rest of the game.

The other new products to come

To our great dismay, we could not judge one of the big novelties to come in the license, the addition of the female championships.Absent from the Build Alpha, this novelty will necessarily increase a little more the realism and versatility of football manager in the future, but this absence has worried us a little and we hope that the feature will be present on November 9.Miles Jacobson, Director of Interactive Sports had already talked about the thing last July, explaining that the integration of the female championships will not be a simple copy and paste of their male inclination and will have specificities in management.However, the thing has still not been formalized for FM 2022.We were also able to see that a "mode versus" was planned for the title via the main menu, face-to-face with an opponent (probably human).But it should not be born only a few months after the official release of the title, in 2022 and remains quite enigmatic in its operation.

As a reminder, the title will offer four different versions: Football Manager 2022 on PC and Mac via Epic Games Store, Steam and Microsoft Store, which will also be playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series via the Game Pass.This version will be available in early access two weeks before the official release of the game for those who have pre -ordered it.Football Manager 2022 Xbox Edition will be released the same day on Xbox Series and One, and will be playable on PC via the Game Pass.Football Manager 2022 Mobile will be released on iOS and Android, the same day.Football Manager 2022 Touch should also go out on Nintendo Switch.
