You can do this by setting your coaching licence level and your playing experience and then using a slider bar to determine your focus. You can set the abilities of your manager by determining if he’s a tracksuit manager (a training specialist) or a tactical manager (a specialist in working on the touchline). ![]() One way that bridges the new player friendliness while also giving gamers a bit of a self-administered difficulty curve is the new manager ability setup. This wouldn’t work or be necessary for all games but I think that this is a tool tip system that more PC games should consider poaching because it’s very new user-friendly which isn’t something that I would have considered saying about any aspect of last year’s FM. Some have question marks to indicate they’re tool tips but some are numbered to walk you through the steps you should take on the screen. Clicking on the circles removes them so you don’t have to worry about tool tips clogging up your screen. They’re all available by scrolling over conveniently placed yellow circles. Right from starting a new game, you can choose how many tool tips you want. In terms of new player friendliness, tool tips are plentiful. That’s how I prefer Microsoft Office but the ease of movement in FM2015 starts it on the path to being more user-friendly. Last year, it was all hidden in dropdown menus from the top. Bouncing from my inbox to the squad to the calendar to the training menu was all quick and easy. I much prefer this setup as the key manager controls and information are always at your hands along the right (except in matches) so you never really get lost on your way to or from anywhere you want to go. ![]() The first change that you’re going to notice from FM2015 is the updated user interface. The important links to the various aspects of the game that affect your job the most are along the left sidebar with a search bar at the top (that doubles as a title bar which is what I thought Chrome was going to for a while) and a contextual sub-menu for that screen just below the top search bar. Basically, you are tasked with being better than David Moyes or Louis van Gaal rather than a better Robin van Persie. You’re still the man running a football team from the touchline and front office rather than being the superstar on the field. I detail the game in that review and I really want to focus on this year’s changes and my impressions of this game rather than going over the basics again. ![]() There are a whole host of changes to the game that I think makes it a bit more new and casual gamer friendly as well as a few tweaks for those who are far more into the minutiae of football than I am.īefore I start, if you don’t know much about Football Manager, you should check out last year’s FM review. Having played Football Manager 2014 and comparing it to this year, there’s a bit more to this year’s update to Football Manager than the rosters. Sports franchises have a reputation for being an annual roster update and not much more. Most gamers look at the likes of Assassin’s Creed or Call of Duty and write them off as being a fresh coat of paint and a change of venue but not much else. It’s not often that I will follow an annual franchise through year-to-year but it’s interesting to see what work goes into a franchise as the developers change calendars.
