Now that all of their club's fixtures are in the diary, there's only one date left that real football fans need to know. With over 2,500 real clubs to manage and over 500,000 footballers and staff to choose between, this was the biggest Football Manager yet, but you had to be careful when selling a potential inbound player on your 'project' - fail to convince them and you could end up in a protracted transfer saga. And if your team was losing, you could check in on a delightful new social media feed to see how the result was going down. FaceGen technology allowed you to scan your own face into the game, so you could admire yourself stalking the touchline.

You no longer had to go out of your way to perform little tasks, buried many menus away, and together these tweaks could add up to a few extra points a season.Īway from your inbox, the 3D Match Engine was improved with over 1,500 new motion-captured animations, better AI decision-making, improved stadia and realistic LED ad hoardings. Now you would receive messages that were more intuitive, contextual and relevant, with advice from staff that could be actioned without leaving the inbox. But what if the in-tray was smarter and more actionable, rather than just overflowing? For Football Manager 2017, we made sure it was.

We've heard it a million times: the new manager will have lots of things to worry about in their in-tray.
