GENRE : SPORT/MANAGER
FIFA Manager 11 is the 10th edition of the franchise, featuring a vast array of all-new
features. Hundreds of improvements to the game have been made across the board with a
special focus on its core areas. Introduced last year it also includes a separate
online mode where up to 8 players can play against each other over the internet. The
manager still has full control over the management of a football club. In the game you
are responsible for the line-up, the tactics and the training of your team – as well as
for signing the right players, improving the club facilities and the stadium. Special
highlights are the FIFA 3D engine, more than 13,000 original player pictures, the
player manager mode, the national team manager mode, the Create-a-Club mode and the
Match Prognosis Tool.
Features:
* Line-up and Tactics: The tactics area in FIFA Manager 11 is completely re-designed
and now offers a unique complexity. Target positions for every single player in
offensive and defensive play can be set directly on the pitch (even in Full HD). The
manager can now also choose between several variations for goal and corner kicks.
Various tactic presets and formations can be defined and easily selected before a game
with just one mouse click. A new formation assistant guarantees optimal adjustment of
the manager’s line-up in case of bans or injuries without permanent efforts of the
manager. For beginners the new Tactics Wizard makes life really easy. Before its use
every tactical option is explained in detail and the manager can make informed
step-by-step decisions.
* New Rating, Skill and Morale System: FIFA Manager 11 will use a new system to rate
its about 40,000 players and to make the differences between the players more obvious.
Every player gets a playing level for every position, and the skill differences between
the positions will become a lot more realistic. Players will be more flexible to learn
new positions, and experience becomes more important. The game also introduces a new
morale system, which makes it more challenging for the user to keep a high morale for
all players, especially in strong teams with a lot of competition between the players.
* Transfer Market: For many fans the transfer window in summer has now become more
exciting than the actual season. The realistic implementation of this period, surely
the most stressful for any manager, is another focal point in this year’s FIFA Manager.
This core feature of every football management simulation now confronts the manager
with all the challenges real managers have to face. Players and agents will now tell
you what they expect from you ahead of the talks and the AI clubs will become a lot
smarter and use all the tactics we know from real-life, e.g. they make offers to
players just to weaken the direct competition. Life at a small club also becomes much
harder and if there is only a 1-year contract left it’s often only the decision between
the money or an unhappy player for one last year. The clubs will now have long-term
strategies and will immediately react if a season went not as good as expected.
* Just Football! FIFA Manager is well-known to simulate all aspects of club management.
This year a new mode allows the user to just focus on teams and transfers. Other
features that make the game more accessible are a new Search feature to find clubs,
players and league data a lot faster and a new Links Widget to quickly jump to the game
areas used most often.
* Separate World Cup Mode: It is possible to replay the 2010 FIFA World Cup South
Africa directly from the main menu. This is a quick game mode that takes 20 minutes to
2 hours to complete, depending on the manager’s success and love for details.
* Community Wishes: FIFA Manager 11 comes along with a series of community driven
improvements, e.g. a special presentation of local matches, new cup draws, the
possibility to set the clubs for all “Found a Club” leagues, more transfers in last 24
hours before the transfer market closes, thousands of new lines of text in the Live
Ticker, new FIFA player faces, youth player contract negotiations, and many other
advances in practically all areas of the game. New pre-matchday screens give the
manager additional information on the next opponent, important other matches, historic
results and on the cities and stadiums.
* Extended Online Mode: FIFA Manager 11 also includes an extended Online Mode which has
been successfully introduced last year. Amongst other features, a new action-card
system has been implemented, allowing even more direct influence on the match action.
* A draft for youth players
* New auction types and regular sponsor missions, which let the managers compete for
bonus payments
