We all remember from FM 2005 to 2008 when you had the so called "lines" or arrows. I would love to have far more tactical control in the game and a tactics editor along the lines of the old player manager series of games would be ace! Where you can ask the players to move with or without the ball and ask them to pass the ball into areas you want and not just what the game says. I would really like more freedom in choosing formation ability to move a player on the pitch to positions other than preset ones. I wanna be able to tell them exactly how they should behave in specific situations.Īnd when it comes to attacking moves, I wanna be able to create specific attacking moves, the FM free-role option just doesn't work, even if your players are Messi, Pastore, Müller, etc.Įveryone who knows something about football knows that the space between the defence and the midfield is crucial, and I wanna be able to use it better FM just doesn't allow you that freedom so much! The defenders often look like they don't know/don't care how to behave in specific situations, like, they just let the opposition attackers do what they want. I wanna be able to train specific game actions with my team, like attacking moves, off ball running, corner/free kick actions, especially movement in the defence! Because that's the most annoying part of FM.

I think it would be good if the match preparation was expanded, and more options were put in such as keeping the ball, counter attacking, playing aggressively, going down easily, wide play, central play, offside trap and then being able to tick two or three of them to focus on in a game. This has been a massive community work and I’m very proud to finally present this list of features here. I intend to keep this article updated with fresh ideas as they come up, so make sure to post your suggestions in the appropriate forums or on our facebook page dedicated to FM2012. This is the whole point of this article really, to sum up all the interesting suggestions our community has expressed. I believe the guys over at Sports Interactive do listen to their loyal community and always look out for any interesting suggestions they could integrate to the game. Normally, we get to see some screenshots of the forthcoming successor in the series around August. And by “thinking” I mean anticipating new features we’d like to see, as well as improvements and fixes to various aspects of FM2011 that have occasionally let us down before. This is the point where we start thinking of the next arrangement in the FM series, which is of course Football Manager 2012.


I guess it happens every year and it can probably happen to everyone. I mean we have had our long runs with a couple of teams and reached a point we don’t feel so attached to the game like a few months ago. Summer is coming and for some of us the urge to play FM2011 is slowly fading. Football Manager 2012 Key Features Revealed
