I wanted to share this article on the evening when the Euro 2020 matches started. Football, which is the most followed sport in our country, has managed to create a culture unique to countries over the years. Since football, which even those who have nothing to do with it, is aware of the big derby matches, has reached such a size, the players of our country have a special love for football games. In addition to the FIFA and PES series, players who are interested in the roots of football and ponder the mind games of this sport add the new game of the Football Manager series to their libraries every year without skipping. Even though I can't spare time for this series, which ate up my hours during my student years, due to timelessness, I still haven't been able to break away from career mode.
The Football Manager series, which has become more detailed in each game over the years, has now reached the dimension of managing a real club. We've even seen real-life players running clubs through Football Manager a few times. As such, the Football Manager series has made the bone mass it has held over the years more niche. The Football Manager series, which contains dozens of details apart from tactics and transfer, wanted to put a stop to this trend in its new game. In the new game, before starting the career mode, the game starts you sequentially by introducing the game. If you have played FM 2019, you will understand what I am saying much more clearly when you move on to 2020.
Pros
+ Revamped match engine
+ Club vision system
+ Your manager profile now has a greater impact on your career
Cons
- Technical errors
- License problems
Platforms
Mac - PC
When you choose your club and start the game, you get little briefings on the club's traditions, history and how it works. You can enter the game by introducing yourself to the team and more through the captain of the team. Even if you give a negative answer to the experienced manager question in the introductory part of the game, you will encounter a less detailed gameplay. This feature, which exists for players who do not like the tiny details of the game, recalls the players who are offended by the series for this reason.
If we move on to the prominent innovations of the game, we see that the developers are now getting their hands on the reproached match engine. The fact that the stadiums change according to the weather made the game more realistic. Now, if you are playing a match in rainy weather, you can notice this graphically. In the renewed match engine, the angry states of the players as a result of goal celebrations and missed goals were added in a renewed way.
In addition to all this, although there is not a radical change in the new game, the club vision system presented a new challenge for the player to overcome. The goals of the team you started coaching in previous games were based on certain rules. In the new game, club managers can now be more flexible and make decisions about the situation. In this way, while the new system is pushing you harder, you are left alone on the ground where you are comfortable.
At the beginning of the minus sides of the game, unfortunately, comes the license problem. Many clubs' logos, even their names, appear differently in Football Manager 2020. Due to the agreement with PES this year, especially Italian clubs have been added to the game with different names. On the other hand, the problem that many players like me experience, that the decided tactic is not implemented in the match can be annoying. For example; When you teach your right and left-back players fast attack and crossing tactics, your players don't listen to you. With a little research, I discovered that this problem is with most players and it is a technical error due to the game. I hope the developers will release a technical patch to fix such bugs soon.
When we come to the end, Football Manager 2020 has come up with a structure that will please the fans of the series. With its risk-free structure in terms of change, the producers who do not change their already working mechanics and add innovations to it in terms of detail, let's see how much more detailed the game will be in the next game?
