About the Game

Counting over 800 features, not including changes to the rules of the games 50+ leagues,Football Manager 2012promises to be the most realistic, immersive and playable football management simulation ever for any fan who has ever dreamed of making the big decisions, both on and off the field.

Features

• Transfers & Contracts– significant changes to the transfer and contract systems, including loyalty bonuses, better implementation of amateur and youth contracts, an improved transfer centre and the ability to lock areas of the contract negotiation when you aren't prepared to budge. This helps you to manage your budgets and gives you flexibility in what you offer money hungry players, or agents, as incentives.
• Scouting improvements– using several real life scouting reports, a in-game report has been devised which includes squad analysis, tactics information and information about goals scored and conceded alongside lots of other scouting improvements, giving you all the information you need to prepare before kick-off and throughout the season.
• 3D Match Improvements– animations, a whole crowd system, improved weather system, more stadiums, plus two brand cameras - "Behind Goal" and "Director Cam" as well as all other camera angles being reversible – meaning you can watch and analyse every aspect of every game.
• Manage Anywhere, Anytime– the ability to add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season- meaning you don't have to stay in the nations which are chosen by you to be playable at the start of your career.
• Tone– a whole level has been added to team talks and conversations, with the tone system, which allows you to specify the way you want to say things – be as cool as a cucumber by saying things calmly or throw tea cups around by saying things with passion. There are 6 different tones to choose from with specific comments per tone.
• Intelligent Interface– a adaptive layout system, which means the higher your screen resolution, the more info is easily at your fingertips. The interface also contains filters, customisable columns, a tactics screen, and lots of overview screens.
• Brand Tutorial– standing separate from the main game, a mode to help players find their way around the game easily, whilst also offering tips to experienced managers on how to get the most out of the game, as well as a in-game "how to" system.

On top of these key innovations, there are lots of areas of the game that have had huge improvements, such as the media system, press conferences, the youth system, gens, the social networking options, friendlies, international management and many more which will be detailed in a series of video blogs over the coming months, alongside more information about Football Manager 2012.
