Press conferences are still terrible

Football Manager can often be a difficult series to get a handle on. Most years, you’re looking at having to get 100 hours deep before really u💟nderstanding the minute changes gently thrumming under the hood that make the game tick. Not so with Football Manager 2019. The differences are apparent almost immed🌺iately and it’s all the better for it.
This is a game that takes a smart, flexible approach to tweaking what has (and hasn’t) worked in the past, so you’re essentially playing an entirely brand-new, fresh instalment at the peak of its powers, rather than simply an incremental roster update. Training and tactics are now different, comprehensive beasts; new technology has been brought in ღand off the pitch, and there’s so much more besides that. It all revolutionises not only the way you approach each and every game – no going on auto-pilot here – but acts as a welcome revamp after the stagnant efforts of previous years. So, say goodbye to your social life: this is, simply put, the best in the series by some distance.
So, let’s start with the big stuff. Both training and tactics have been completely overhauled. Tactics, a bugbear of many a wannabe virtual manager, is now streamlined thanks to the ability to place a👍 series of presets based on world-famous playing styles onto your team. Want to give Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool a taste of his✨ own gegenpressen medicine or out tiki-taka Barcelona? You can, to an extent. Simply click a button and your team will be set up to play that way… in theory.
I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer 🐻here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and🧜 providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
