It’s a nice touch that takes into account the different, real-life management styles in world football, but it doesn’t have to be a binary decision. As well as stating your ‘professional’ experience, you’re now asked to decide whether you’ll be a ‘Tracksuit Manager’, where you’ll spend more time tinkering with your squad’s training regimes, or a ‘Tactical Manager’, which has a heavier focus on strategic foresight. When embarking on a career, FM2015 provides more options to help tailor the experience to your own style. If you’re more experienced, then FM2015 can become incredibly complex, and with new player roles and instructions to discover, such as options to allow central midfielders to play with more freedom and new ways for wingers to hurt opposition by drifting inside or exploiting space, you can get really down to the tiniest detail to outsmart your rivals. Newcomers could rely on the advice of their Assistant Manager for team selections and team talks, while I’ve personally always been hands-off with training, happy for my coaching staff to oversee development as I focus on signing talent and plotting the downfall of opponents. With FM, you can go as deep into formations, mentalities, and player roles as you feel comfortable. Such things help speed up seasons greatly. The best of these is in team selection, where dropping a player onto your team-sheet provides a much clearer, colour-coded icon to show their efficiency in the chosen position. For example, some raw numbers have been replaced with visual indicators. More data is squeezed onto screens, but somehow it’s still wonderfully clean, readable, and presented in a manner more user-friendly than before. The rewarding core philosophy of FM remains the same: pick your favoured side and try to lead them to glory by improving the squad, training and managing the team effectively on and off the pitch, and using your tactical expertise to best your opponents.įM2015 reverts to a sidebar as its main method of navigation and, after a short adjustment period with new menu structures, I found that most actions were quicker to get to relative to last year’s version certainly no more than one to three clicks in most cases.
