FM2007 - Favourite new features - part 1 of many....
Current mood: busy
Category: Games

For today's blog, I went through to the test room at SI, and asked a few of our testers what their 5 favourite new features are in Football Manager 2007. This is the first part of an irregular series, as is re-typed exactly as it was written.

Vlad

1 - Scouting overhaul - Much clearer info on players - especially like the ability of scouts to predict the asking price

2. Board intervention on transfer offers - the board accepting offers they deem too good to turn down.

3. Players wanting "matching pay" with a team mate

4. Feeder clubs, particularly merchandising links

5. Clubs being able to build a new stadium

1. Opposition instructions - being able to single out opponent's dangerman and force him into mistakes and take him out of the game..

2. Improved match engine - more realistic. More and more like watching a real match.

3. Feeder clubs - massive upgrade in youth development and encatchment. The different affiliate types all offer something every player can use.

4. Player Interaction - able to ask your players opinions, comment on opposing players. More day-to-day management

5. Improved media - fake transfer rumours, goal droughts etc all make you feel the in-game world around you.

1. Media - Media interaction has always been an important aspect in FM, increase of media communication has definitely made reading news more exciting and realistic.

2. Feeder clubs - Adding in the feeder club feature has also been a huge step to extending FM's knowledge as a true football game. Definitely gives the user an opportunity to develop young talents into decent players.

3. Player tutoring - young players being able to learn from senior players has definitely added more excitement to the game. Young players can improve from players such as Shevchenko - just wish it was me! Great addition!

4. GUI (Graphic User Interface) - FM2007 has managed to excel within the GUI department. Having a graphic background in the games industry, I can comfortably state that FM2007 delivers the goods. A huge improvement without a doubt.

5. Richest clubs - this feature adds a more comfortable way of viewing a clubs success. Definitely a nice little feature to look out for.
