Football Manager 2021 main features announced

Sports Interactive and SEGA have announced the new features for Football Manager 2021.

Interactions with players and the media have been overhauled to create a more true-to-life experience and matchdays add a host of graphical and presentation improvements as well as new pre-and post-match events. Additionally, managers will have more power over player recruitment and new ways to celebrate success at the end of the season.

The addition of gestures in FM21 allows managers to express themselves in more nuanced ways whether that's in a face-to-face meeting, in their weekly press conference or while giving a team-talk in a crucial fixture. Also new for FM21 are Quick Chats which give managers the chance to have short, informal conversations around a variety of topics that don't require a full meeting.

Before entering the dressing room, managers will have the opportunity to make any last-minute tactical tweaks and team selection changes in the new pre-match tactical meeting. When the match action gets underway, managers will get a better view from the dugout with a redesigned match UI that places an emphasis on the on-the-pitch action.

Both during and immediately after the match, managers will benefit from better analysis than ever before through a new xG system.

Football Manager 2021 is launching November 24th on the Epic Games Store and Steam for PC.
