Being a fan of previous Football Managers, upgrading to this years version was just a formality for me. Still, I was keen to see if it had improved from what SEGA and SI had given us before, or if it was just another FM game with a new case. With a new threat from Championship Manager releasing this year, it was obvious FM would have to prove its worth.
Firstly, the UI has been improved. Though at first it may look a mess, after a few hours of playing the game you realise how much easier it is to navigate. Match analysis has been polished, and more player feedback options have been added. A new match analysis tool has been created which lets you judge every player and see what they did, and a tactics creator also makes the game a bit simpler for new players.
As all players of FM2009 know, the new 3D engine was a bit of let down. It has been improved upon this year, and more player animations have been added, but it still looks bland and pointless. I found myself using it for 2 minutes before moving back to the traditional 2D view. FM is known for being slow and laggy, and though it has been improved this year, it is still not as smooth as I expect it to be. The multiplayer aspect has been worked on, but when I play it, I can’t help but feel like SEGA don’t want you to.
