A feature that has always been a bit boring, and something you can do without after a while. I can already see how this feature can be expanded for the next game.Īfter the first new player has been signed it's time for a press conference. It's not really all that deep, but definitely something that should have been in there a long time ago. New formations can be practised and you can opt to focus on a specific component.

It hardly goes a day without a message from these telemarketers of the football world.Īnother great addition apart from the agents, is the option of preparing your team for a match.

In the real world, big clubs are approached all the time with letters, mails, videos from desperate agents trying to find new homes for their players, and this trend is very apparent in Football Manager 2011. This also adds something else, the constant nagging from agents hoping to find new clubs for their players. In addition to this you can also regulate the amount of money that goes to the agent. Some are more patient, while others are more erratic. The negotiations may vary depending on the behaviour of the agent. This is what the players wants, something that most of the time is more than you can afford to accept. In negotiations you are first given a wage demand, that needs to be handled with a grain of salt. Next I got stuck in with the new obstacle Sports Interactive have put in place of transfers - agents - and that was a positive surprise. It's easier to take in all the information you are bombarded with. The same is true for the rest of the interface. It looks a bit like an actual inbox and it is much easier to pick up the information you need than it was in the previous menu system. The first thing that caught my attention was the new news system. Therefore my expectations weren't sky high as I got busy with Sports Interactive's latest offering. Last year Football Manager was a quality experience, but with few new innovations. If you've played Football Manager before you know you run a risk of spending hours and hours in a digital fantasy world, when you should be focusing on your studies or family life.
