Football Manager 2014 (abbreviated to Football Manager 14, or more commonly FM14) is an upcoming football management simulation video game being developed by Sports Interactive and to be published by Sega. It will be released on Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation Vita, Android and on the App Store for iOS (as Football Manager Handheld 2014).
Announcement
On 15 August 2013, FM14 was officially announced on Football Manager's official website. The game is set to be released on 31 October and promises over 1000 new features.
Features
Play Anywhere
Play on Linux for the first time, plus the inclusion of ‘cloud-save’ technology which means that managers can now pursue a single career from any computer, anywhere in the world. FM14 also includes integration with Steam Workshop making it easy for managers to create and share customised FM content such as photo/logo packs, new and custom competitions and tailor-made challenges using the new Challenge Editor.
More Realistic Transfers and Contracts
FM 2014 features a revamped transfer module where opposing clubs and managers adopt a more realistic approach when making or responding to transfer offers. In addition, a number of new ‘real world’ transfer clauses have been added, such as the facility to loan a player back to the club he’s just been bought from and the option to offer a combination of cash and loan players, as well as new contract clauses such as a sub bench appearance fee. On top of this, the old ‘turn-based’ system of transfer negotiations can now be done two ways, the tried and tested system and a new ‘live’ system, similar to that used in FM’s contract negotiations.
Improved interaction with players, staff and media
There is now better interaction between players, managers, their rivals and the media; for example, members of the coaching staff now offer feedback on how reserve and youth team players are performing. Managers can also ask key players to have a word with unhappy squad members, while the introduction of an end-of-season meeting allows the manager to let the squad know how they have performed and set targets for the coming season.
Improved Match Engine
The 3D match engine has seen extensive improvements, including enhanced AI, improved lighting and player animation, individual player character and kit models, more realistic player reaction to on-field incidents and a range of optimisations which combine to make this the best looking and fastest FM Match Engine yet.
Tactical overhaul
There has been a complete redesign of how tactics are created, selected and implemented with player roles and team strategies becoming even more prominent, definable roles for players for multiple positions, new player roles and instructions and improvements to rival managers’ AI so that they’ll adapt their tactics more readily over time.
More sophisticated board interaction
Contract negotiations are more realistic in FM 2014, as managers and boards can now make demands and lay down their respective visions for the club in both initial job interviews and contract renewal discussions. Managers can also attempt to renegotiate transfer and wage budgets as a reward for staying loyal if they’ve been offered a job by another club, with the outcome helping aid their decision on whether to move or not.
News system
The news system has been overhauled so managers can now deal with many club matters directly from their inbox. In addition, news is now colour-coded, based on category, and contains more detail – for example, scout reports now appear as a single news item with a top-line report on all players scouted and the facility to shortlist or make an offer for each of these players.
Testimonials
Football Manager 2014 will feature for the first time, the opportunity for star players to have a testimonial having been at the club for a certain period of time or when they announce their retirement.
Beta
Just as in Football Manager 2013 a beta version of the game will be available for download 2 weeks prior to the game is fully released, exclusive to those who pre-order
Football Manager Classic
In FM14 Football Manager Classic is now coming to Playstation Vita for the first time ever. This includes cross-save compatibility with PC & Mac and is designed for quicker game progression than the PC version.
Playable leagues and club cups
Although the following list includes all leagues available upon commencement of the game, the editor allows the players to add any lower level league to existing leagues, as well as the creation of new ones. There are a total of 51 initially playable nations and 117 playable leagues.
- Germany's national team is not included in the game due to EA Sports' ownership of their licensing rights for the FIFA series and Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer. The Japanese J-League and the Japanese national team are not included in the game due to Konami's purchase of the exclusive rights for the Pro Evolution Soccer series.
