In Football Manager, players will play a head coach and then choose a team to coach. They can choose a small team in a low-level league to experience the thrill of Dios' counterattack, or they can choose a team they support in reality to fulfill their long-cherished wish of dominating Europe. As the name implies, the responsibility of a player is the manager, not Coach. In addition to the competition, players should also manage the team's finance, transfer and even the employment of employees, and the development planning of the team. Of course, most trivial matters can be handed over to the assistant coach of my younger brother, which can be said to be very ginkgo.
Excluding VR suite, last week's Steam sales were second only to Cyberpunk 2077.
Moreover, according to my observation, works in odd years often don't have too many drastic changes, and generally only slightly polish the details of previous works, while works in even years will contain more new features, and the uncertainty of word-of-mouth is higher.
Except that the color changes from purple to black, both the icon and the UI of the main interface can be said to be the same as Football Manager 20. If some new words are not translated in time, they may even think that this is a piece of skin on the basis of the previous generation.
The release of chicken ribs has never been concerned by players (at least I am), mainly because after one or two seasons, I will find that the options are not rich enough, and the reporter's questions are the same. This product hasn't changed since previous generations of products added emotional options. As a game with football tactical simulation as its core, it is normal that the priority of interactive modules is not high in the face of many other elements.
With the bottleneck of the game in other aspects, the perfection of these details is naturally put on the agenda. After all, dealing with the media and interpersonal relationships with players are also compulsory courses for coaches in reality.
See the player's reaction more intuitively.
Regarding the new feature of "body language", my evaluation is that "the brain is more grounded". In such a simulated commercial game filled with a lot of words and data, players must practice "brain tonic" if they want to have enough sense of substitution, which is why players can tolerate pictures comparable to kindergarten level for so many years. When the game encounters a controversial penalty from the opposing goalkeeper, the word "anger" in the tone option alone is obviously not enough to express the player's anger.
Rich operation options
With specific actions and corresponding remarks, the head coach can convey a stronger and clearer message to the players or reporters, which is equivalent to having a script in the brain-filling picture. However, after the novelty has passed, it will be found that there is not much difference from the actual effect produced by the previous timbre options. For example, the action of "kicking a chair" and the tone of "furious" are only expressed in different ways.
In addition, players can have some informal short conversations with players and journalists anytime and anywhere; The media at the press conference will make different reactions according to the answers; After the game, Weibo scolded the referee ......
A press conference with a sense of substitution
In a word, "Football Manager 2 1" has made great efforts to optimize interaction and communicate with players more actively. The actual experience is more interesting than expected, and the improvement of immersion is quite obvious. It's just how long this fresh immersion will last, and whether it will be tossed and turned in a few words in the later period. It will take several seasons to draw a conclusion.
In addition to interaction, in order to be closer to reality, SI also removed the physical strength percentage display, but used a heart-shaped icon to represent the player's physical condition, and the heart-shaped filling represented excellent physical condition, and vice versa. It can be understood that physical expressions can be changed from numbers to histograms. At present, it seems that the actual algorithm should be no different, except that it looks unfamiliar. Considering SI's conservative style of new features, this change is more to let players gradually adapt to the transition from intuitive data to abstract description. After all, players on the field don't show how much power they have left like mobile phones.
In fact, this is understandable. Simulating reality into a game is also a game. If there is an uncontrollable infection in the game like in reality, it will inevitably lead to a great discount on the game experience. If the game experience is poor, players will be unhappy. If you are unhappy, you will give a bad review, and no one will pay the bill. ......
Completely healthy
COVID-19's specific influence in the game lies in finance, which is also the biggest influence in real football. We can see that the rich giants in the past have also begun to tighten their belts. Therefore, the company rewrote the market logic for this purpose. Except for superstars, the value of most players has shrunk to varying degrees, and this situation will gradually return to normal as the game progresses.
The value of ordinary players has shrunk to a certain extent.
Finally, when it comes to the game engine, according to the official introduction, the attack routine is optimized. It is no longer a situation in which all kinds of crossings are dominant. The middle road can blossom, the single-knife goal rate can be improved, and the bottom line can pass the ball at a small angle. Offside players no longer regard referees as fools to catch any balls. ......
The Iduna Signal Park Stadium, which is still packed.
Summary: Football Manager 2 1 continues to improve the details of the real football world on the basis of the previous work, and responds to the questions reflected by players, including many interesting new functions. However, for an endless simulation game, as long as the timeline is long enough, these changes are enough to bring players a fresh game experience. If not compared with the previous work, every generation of football managers will always be excellent, and football manager 2 1 this time is no exception.
