Challenges,” and an extension of the last 24 hours of the transfer market.
FIFA Manager 12 features improvements to virtually all areas of the game,
including major enhancements to the 3D mode, finances, transfers and the
calendar. Changes to the 3D mode create a more realistic experience, and include
new logic, new player artificial intelligence, and marked improvements to
tactics, substitutions and the conduct of opposing managers. In addition, a new
intuitive user interface makes it possible for players to retrieve all the data
relevant to the game within seconds and to issue precise tactical instructions
to their teams.
The financial mode is now more authentic with on-the-pitch success impacting
revenue, and realistic differences in revenue generated through jersey sponsors
between clubs. In the transfer section, managers can now field players in trial
training and in real matches. Managers can also commission a detailed analysis
of the squad so the team's weak points can be specifically eliminated. A whole
range of new options will be available in the calendar, from the charity gala to
direct friendly match queries, and training can once again be planned and
implemented on a daily basis.
FIFA Manager 12 also contains a host of improvements to the online mode, all
premium features from previous years are now included and available to all
players. Online improvements include an extensive avatar editor, the option of
creating fantasy leagues, and a large number of new statistics.
Features
3D match
A special highlight this year is the 3D game option of FIFA MANAGER 12. This
area of the game representation is a matter close to the heart for a lot of fans
of the franchise, so that this year a whole team consisting of designers,
graphic artists and programmers have put the entire logic of the 3D mode to the
test and completely reprogrammed large sections of it.
A new player AI, for instance, and marked improvements in terms of the
substitutions, tactics and the conduct of opposing managers, e.g. after players
are sent off, results from this. The new intuitive user interface makes it
possible for you to retrieve all the data relevant to the game within seconds
and to issue precise tactical instructions.
New club facilities
25 buildings with a total of 289 configuration levels are reproduced in detail.
In addition there are up to three stadia with up to 120,000 seats directly on
the club grounds.
Buildings age and have to be renovated. Each configuration level has specific
impacts in other areas of the game. As a player you are thus constantly faced by
decisions to make and must develop a genuine strategy in terms of how you want
to set up your club in the future.
Finances
The financial sector in FIFA MANAGER 12 is also entirely new. Cubs and players
have to first gain the trust of the financial markets through sporting
successes. Realistic revenue of the main sponsors help to exactly reflect the
large financial differences between top clubs and a smaller club in the game.
A stock exchange with club shares should, of course, not be absent. In the
sponsorship sector there are also numerous improvements, such as the sponsors‘
pyramid or sponsors’ campaigns to obtain new partners. Moreover, there is the
option in FIFA MANAGER 12 of much more intensive interchanges with the main
sponsor, who wants to be kept happy.
Transfer market
In the transfer section you can now field players in trials in test matches or
commission a detailed analysis of the squad so the team's weak points can be
specifically eliminated. Due to the fact that all the AI managers make use of
these squad analysis options, the transfers will once again become even more
realistic. In this way AI clubs can also cash in expensive stars who do not want
to extend their contracts just before their contracts expire.
Classic areas in a new look
A whole range of new options will be available to you in the calendar. From the
charity event to direct friendly match queries and extending to lactate tests,
no wishes are left unfulfilled.
In FIFA MANAGER 12 the training can once again be planned and implemented on a
daily basis in individual units. The player development was made more realistic
here which makes the games even more challenging especially at the higher
difficulty levels. A special fitness coach will now also offer you his services
from the start of the season.
In the Weekly Progress sequence that can now be configured you can select your
favourite statistics in a targeted manner and, for instance, precisely track the
training or the building progress on the club facilities.
The instant calculation, the cooperation with your Board, the player talks,
interviews and the Personal Life feature were also extended.
Your feature!
The fans have been able to directly influence the content of the new FIFA
MANAGER game for the first time due to the "Your Feature!" campaign. In seven
ballots several thousand participants have, for instance, opted for features
such as “Pre-match Speeches”, “Hosting a European cup final match”, a “Trial
training day for hobby players”, and the revamping of the “Final 24 hours of the
transfer market”.
The "Manager Tasks” have also become particularly exciting. Here you as a
manager are constantly presented with new tasks in addition to your day to day
business so you can gain additional points and achieve manager levels. You can
then use these for instance for more effective team talks.
Online mode
The online mode that was successfully launched two years ago should also, of
course, not be absent in FM12. All the premium features from the previous year
were made freely accessible for all players. The players can now exchange
various action items in return for their manager points, there is an extensive
avatar editor and the option of creating fantasy leagues. A large number of new
statistics rounds off this game section.
