The Premier League’s entry as an official partner in full licensing means we now have authentic club symbols, uniforms, and images of real players. This makes the game the “anticipated sequel with groundbreaking transformations“, a promise from the creators for quite some time.

On game days, fans can now enjoy an enhanced experience thanks to cutting-edge volumetric animations modeled after actual games, as well as heightened visuals that amplify the drama of each play on the field. The revamped interface offers greater control and effortless navigation, making the overall experience even more immersive.

A significant advancement is the implementation of cross-game saving. Now, players can transfer their progress from Football Manager 23 and 24 seamlessly, and for the first time, Football Manager Mobile will be included in this feature. This means managers can pick up where they left off in their extended careers without having to start anew.

The announcement has been made, but the store pages are still under wraps for now. The prices haven’t been disclosed yet either, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer until everything is unveiled. In the meantime, keep an eye out for updates!
