Jordo 33 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 SEGA and Sports Interactive have announced Football Manager 2012, due for release before Christmas. This year's edition is said to be an evolution of what's come before, with some "revolution thrown in for good measure"."We're delighted to finally be able to start talking about Football Manager 2012" said Miles Jacobson, studio director at Sports Interactive. "It's another year of evolution, with some revolution thrown in for good measure so we're pretty sure our dedicated communities, and hopefully lots of new people too, get to play and enjoy the game when it's released later in the year."Key new and improved features for Football Manager 2012:Transfers and 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 new 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 – new animations, a whole new crowd system, improved weather system, more stadiums, plus two brand new 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 new level has been added to team talks and conversations, with the new 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 new adaptive layout system, which means the higher your screen resolution, the more info is easily at your fingertips. The new interface also contains new filters, customisable columns, a new tactics screen, and lots of new overview screens.Brand New Tutorial – standing separate from the main game, a mode to help new 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 new in-game "how to" system.Other areas which have reportedly seen big improvements are the media system, press conferences, the youth system, newgens, social networking options, friendlies, international management and more. Many of the new features will be detailed in video blogs released in the coming weeks.Release around November time as always. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 110,351 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Being able to toggle the playable nations sounds good.I would say so. However you must be shit hot at this game considering all these crazy players you link with us on a daily basis Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raligt 2,541 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Being able to toggle the playable nations sounds good.Yeah that sounds excellent. It's been a big blip for me for years. I would love to just switch around the world on one save instead of starting a new game each time. Ahh bliss... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 110,351 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'll get really into it for like a week, then go off it completely for a month or so.Im the same mate when i was 12-18 i loved it and then i didnt like the change come FM 08. When it was the both companies doing cm it was the bees knees. I only downloaded this years to give it a bash and play maybe 3 or 4 times a week then dont touch it for months Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzareyes 220 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Switching the playable leagues is something that should've been in years ago, i would have really liked it to be at the stage now where you load up a game and just pick any team that you want, surely the pc's and laptops must have the spec for this to happen.Still it is a step in the right direction, maybe one day it will be a fully interactive game environment were there is no boundaries on which club may offer you a job.

50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Need to lower agent fees and wage demands from decent players! It's ridiculous. Also asking prices and what clubs want needs improving. Having to bid £5M for Goodwillie when he's valued at £1.5M is mental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 10 was my first FM, and although the backroom side of the game is brilliant, and I loved every aspect of it, I despised the matches. Watching my midfield and defenders stand there as Danielle Bonera walks through from his own half to score makes you sick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watp72 54 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 It's no CM01/02 is it though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I didnt see anything in the new features about what new bugs will be included in fm12. i love this game, but theres nothing worse than enjoying a nice european cup final with millwall, when your game crashes. sort it out sports interactive!

philiprfc 1,799 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Pain in the arse that it comes out in November... Just about every good game is coming out then and I've got exams in early December. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
demise 3,581 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I agree with Drewboy here. I remember when trying to buy Griffiths, he was worth 160k, i had to bid 1.3m for them to accept and finally he didnt wanted to come. Bastard. Well, then i added a new manager, joined Wolves and put him on the transfer list, so i bought him anyway. Bargain. Would be interesting to see the 12 version, i cant wait. Rangers with some cash to spend and lots of new faces, brilliant. Also, when i sell Whittaker, McCulloch, Broadfoot, Edu(if im lucky enough to sell them) i will have some more cash. I just hope Jelavic is better in the new version, cause everytime i started in FM11 he was shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allzo 91 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Game is gonna cost me 4 or 5p if it's £24:99 in GAME. Got £18 in a trade in thing, £4:25 on a points card and I get 10% discount in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
