There's also a brand new player role, the Wide Centre-Back, à la Jack O'Connell, which gives players even more tactical options and is a really interesting addition to the game. Players will now pass backwards more often, misplace passes, mess up their first touches, make better decisions on the ball, will produce cutbacks and make more passes overall as a team, with the game slowed down to more realistic levels. You'll see things that you just wouldn't have seen before in an FM game. Players now take much more varied and definitive touches on the ball and can dribble in more ways than ever before, leading to more variety and even the odd Cruyff turn! Having been very familiar with previous FM match engines, the match engine in FM22 looks and feels very fresh with more variety in almost every situation on the pitch. Player movement is more realistic than ever, and that goes for every part of a football match including dribbling, passing, shooting, running, slide tackles, headers and more.īut that's only half the story because the overhaul of the animations has led to huge changes to the match engine and the match AI, with players now able to do more and in a more realistic way. I still revert to 2D when trying out new tactics or am trying to figure out tactical changes in-game, but other than that, watching the match in 3D on FM22 is a great experience. Personally, I have watched FM matches on 2D classic for as long as I can remember, but honestly, the improvements to the animations have converted me to 3D. The new animation engine is built around the new addition of root motion, which means that the players move off those 2D discs, and the 3D model movement is instead now based on the animation of their skeleton, allowing for much more realistic movements.īut the new engine is built around the new addition of root motion, which means that the players move off those 2D discs, and the 3D model movement is instead now based on the animation of their skeleton, allowing for much more realistic movements. The previous FM animation engine actually tied players to the 2D discs that formed the basis of our switch from the 2D to 3D view, restricting real-life movement and motion.
Sports Interactive also decided against having COVID-19 in the game, so players can't be ill and won't be isolating, which was the right decision in my view, as FM is supposed to be an escape from real life!īut when your first game comes along, it's here where you notice that there have been some huge changes under the hood, specifically in regards to animations and Match AI.įor Football Manager 2022, the guys and girls at Sports Interactive and Sega have overhauled the animation engine, a change that will be the basis for Football Manager games for years to come.

One detail that is different though is the introduction of a new weekly in-depth staff meeting, which is handy and can give some really good recommendations.Īpart from a few select clubs, like Newcastle United, you'll find that transfer budgets have been lowered significantly compared to previous generations of FM, for obvious reasons, but a few seasons in, they do return to normal, thanks to full stadiums. One detail that is different though is the introduction of a new weekly in-depth staff meeting, which is handy and can give you some really good recommendations. When players load up FM22 for the first time and start a new game save, they'll have a very similar experience to the last few FM games, aside from the added manager customisation options and fresh press questioning, it feels very familiar and very FM-like.Īnd as does the general day-to-day managerial experience within FM22, there are the usual tasks of squad management, tactics, training, friendlies, transfers and more are on your to-do list when you first start.
