Football Manager 2022 Reveals True-To-Life Deadline Day
Sports Interactive and SEGA can today reveal a further two headline features for Football Manager 2022, debuting on November 9th on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. FM22 will also be available Day One with Xbox Game Pass.
Sports Interactive has taken insight from leading figures within the football industry to model an improved Transfer Deadline Day experience that better reflects the drama, excitement and suspense of the climax of the transfer window. Collaboration with backroom staff has also been enhanced through the new weekly Staff Meeting which replicates the way that real managers interact with their coaches and key support staff.
There is an in-depth look at both additions to FM22 in the second episode of ‘In the Studio’ hosted by James Allcott. James is joined by members of the Sports Interactive team as well as football transfers expert, Fabrizio Romano, and former Sheffield United manager, Chris Wilder, to discuss how Football Manager blurs the lines between game and reality.
A series of blogs delving into both the headline features and other core areas of the game will be released in the coming days. Further features will be released on the Football Manager social channels (including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) and Sports Interactive studio director, Miles Jacobson’s own channels (including Twitter and Instagram).
Fans who pre-purchase Football Manager 2022 (for PC and Mac), from a SEGA approved digital retailer* up until launch will receive a 10% discount. They will also have the chance to kick-off their managerial career ahead of schedule with Early Access to FM22. Early Access will be available roughly two weeks prior to the official street date and single player careers started in that period can be carried across to the final game.**
An overview of all four headline features can be found below.
