Football Manager 2024: A Complete Overhaul
Football Manager 2024 is set to revolutionize the popular series with a complete overhaul. We had the opportunity to visit the Sports Interactive offices in London and get a sneak peek at the game, which promises to be more than just a roster update. With the new era 'Project Dragonfly' on the horizon, here are some of the biggest changes you can expect.
New Leagues and Features
One of the major additions in Football Manager 2024 is the inclusion of the J-League, marking the series' debut in Japan. This expansion is just the tip of the iceberg, as the game also introduces smarter transfers, intermediaries, market platform Transfer Room support, individual player targets, positional play, and set-piece coaches. These new features aim to enhance your managerial experience and provide more depth to your tactics.
Choose Your Starting Database
In Football Manager 2024, you now have three options for the starting database: original, real world, and your world. The original database begins with the season transfers already completed, impacting your team's budget. The real-world database starts with last season's roster and allows you to make transfers based on real-world dates. Finally, the your world database lets you interfere with negotiations that come your way, giving you more control over player transfers.
On the Pitch Improvements
While there are significant changes on the management side, Football Manager 2024 also brings some tweaks to the gameplay. Set-piece coaches add small variables to the opening gameplay, which can have a big impact later on. The ball physics have been refined, resulting in more polished movement, and the lighting is now more responsive to the time of day. These improvements aim to make the on-pitch experience more immersive and realistic.
A Glimpse into the Future
Football Manager 2024 acts as a stop-gap before the highly anticipated Project Dragonfly, offering players a taste of what's to come. While injuries and transfer market prices may not have changed significantly, the game still manages to captivate with its new pre-match animations and improved visuals. Football Manager fans can look forward to a truly enhanced experience with the upcoming release.
