As it moves to new engine
“For those of you who are not familiar with gaming technologies – in simple terms, FM25 will have a significantly better looking matchday experience - both on the pitch and the supporting stadium environments, alongside a vastly improved user interface that will dramatically improve how you navigate through screens and access all the information available to you as manager,” writes Jacobsen. “We’ll also have new technology for Newgens and manager creation which are already looking really promising at this early stage.”
I’ve played Football Manager (and its predecessor Championship Manager) on and off for nearly 30 years at this point, and the relatively paltry collection of new features in certain sequels has often been a frustration. That said, it’s never been the 3D engine or the animations where I’ve craved updates. I’m instead hoping that a switch to Unity increases development efficiency more generally, and therefore allows for more experimentation, more modes, the return of FM Classic to PC, and so on.
