![]() ![]() Staff Meetings are another new feature that help to keep you on track to reach your targets. The thrills and anxiety is present as you make last-minute decisions or enter negotiations with very little time remaining. I appreciated how Sports Interactive has taken the time to make deadline day feel special in Football Manager 2022. You’re given a run down of people’s opinions and the latest transfers, all taking place in its own drop-down menu. Social media is ablaze, much like in real life. Other teams might swoop in and grab a world class player, forcing you to maybe rethink your options. In those final hours, teams might reduce the price of a player. Take this year’s, when in the morning Christiano Ronaldo was on his way to Manchester City, only to return to Manchester United in the afternoon. The drama that goes with real-world deadline days is almost always a thrilling 24 hours. When it comes to the final day of the transfer window, deadline day is much more flamboyant. Agents can be spoken to with more conversation options to get an idea of whether their client is interested or not. When scouring the transfer market, players now have a price range that might fluctuate as the window rolls on. Although it was all nicey nicey in the early stages of my career, I was keen to bolster the squad by finding the right player for the right role. Football Manager 2022: Scout’s honourĪs manager of Chelsea, I was welcomed into the club with open arms. Personally, I didn’t spend a lot of time in the Data Hub, but it’s perfect for the football nerds out there. Going even further, there’s analysis into individual players as well. ![]() It offers a guide to your attacking and defending, general performance, and key findings that give updates on everything from long range passes to the overall momentum during your last match. However, if you’re one of those managers that spend hours working on ways to make as many improvements as possible, this will be like heaven to you. It’s a dense highway of info to help understand every facet of your team’s performance that gives you plenty of areas with room for improvement.Įxploring the Data Hub will send you deeper down the rabbit hole. ![]() It provides tons of valuable information on how your team is performing in every single way imaginable. After you’ve played a few matches at the start of a regular season, the Data Hub opens up. A key thing for any manager is to understand where improvements can be made. Saying that, there’re still some new menus and reports for managers to get their teeth stuck into. With FM21 being such an immersive and detailed game, I was happy to see much of it return this year. In terms of the backroom menus, much of it remains the same. The decision-making of the players is much clearer, and the effects of a loss of stamina are noticeable, especially in the final third of a match. It’s noticeable from the go and a welcome improvement for those who enjoy watching their team actually play. In open possession, players will move into space and get ready for the ball. Players pass to others in open space if they can’t find a clear root on the attack. It’s great to see your tactical decisions in visual form because it wasn’t always clear before. The line of defence press against the counter attack while still holding formation. Occasionally, the keeper would knock the ball out, but a player would take the opportunity to shoot on the fly and get a goal.ĭefensively, the AI will choose to put more pressure on opposing players. Crosses were better placed to land in the best position for a striker to head or boot it in the goal. Some of the long balls my players made would fall beautifully at the foot of a winger. Thanks to a new engine, players are much smarter, and move more fluidly. Dodgy player decisions would see crosses go all over the place, and passes weren’t always played how they should in last year’s. Perhaps the most notable change is how the game looks when matches are playing out. Football Manager 2022: Smarter AI and smoother matchday visuals While there aren’t a ton of changes to the ‘office’ side of things, there’s just enough to warrant you to switch to FM22 and start a new managerial career all over again. Not only do you control every aspect of your team, from backroom staff to youth players, transfers to training, and everything in between. Football Manager 2022 is just as engaging. I played more hours than I care to admit, loving the amount of detail there was in every department. Last year’s Football Manager was like a drug to me. ![]()
