Not only can you win friends and alienate people with words, but now with gestures. They say knowledge is power and if you can find out that chasing a player is a waste of time, then you can focus your efforts elsewhere. This allows you to talk to the agent of a player to find out if they’re available and if they’re interested in joining your club. One of the best is the Agent Availability option on scouting reports. In saying that, there are some new features added to this year’s release. Like any good manager, you can delegate these tasks to other members of staff but this is best left for unimportant decisions. You will take press conferences, engage with players and handle contract talks and more. You will be in charge of everything from training to scouting, recruitment of both players and staff as well as the financial side of the game with a bit of PR for good measure. Most of your time will be spent in between matches, much like in reality, micro-managing every aspect of the club. If you’ve played any Football Manager game, then the basic mechanics will be familiar to you. The gameplay of the 2021 edition has been left relatively unchanged. The real meat of the game, actually managing a team, is still just as engaging and immersive as it has always been. Football Manager still technically works if you were to look at dots moving around the screen like the games of old.
It is a simply a means to convey the game. Luckily, the visuals were never the focus for Football Manager. The lack of licensed badges and kits does make the game less authentic but this is a minor bugbear. It doesn’t go down the PES route with made up names save for the clubs who have exclusivity deals such as Juventus. So unfortunately, most of the big teams will not have their correct badges and kits. Football Manager does boast some licensed leagues with the Bundesliga and English Football Leagues (not the Premier League). Having the rights to players, leagues and competitions is its own selling point. Licensing is a huge part of football games. They look more like a waxwork and a mannequin who often venture down uncanny valley. However, the character models still look more like Subbuteo players than human and the faces of managers and regens can be hilarious. There are fewer jarring animations from players and as a result the game flows more than previous releases. The match engine has had some improvements. To be fair, it has never pretended that it is going to stand up to games like EA Sports FIFA, but it is the weakest aspect of the experience. Visually, Football Manager is not going to blow you away. It feels unintuitive and is an unnecessary hindrance. This means you will end up starting players with a lower condition than you would like. While this sounds ok, it doesn’t give you the exact number.

A full green heart means the condition is between 90-100%.
Whereas before you would see their condition represented by a percentage, now it is a heart. The biggest offender is how a player’s condition is indicated. Disappointingly, not all UI changes are positive. It does take a bit of getting used to as a returning player. Now, during the course of the match, you will see how many goals you’re expected to score, your assistant’s suggestions pop up in a large box in the middle of the screen and your line up is along the bottom. One of the biggest changes is the matchday UI and how the game presents information to you. They still look like themselves but ever so slightly different. If you’ve played a Football Manager game before, it feels like returning to an old friend who’s had a facelift. I can still tell you my starting XI from Football Manager 2013 as the team who went on to dominate English and European Football. The bizarre, asymmetric formations, the regens (game created youth players when they’ve run out of real people) and the individual matches are all experiences that stick with you. There is nothing as rewarding as taking a semi-professional team from the dregs of non-league football to Premier League and European glory. You essentially get to write your own footballing story and it is one of the series’ biggest strengths.
It immerses you in the world of football unlike any game on the market. It offers football fans the ability not just to manage your favourite club, but any club you desire.
