Football Manager 25 is set to be a rule-breaker in the franchise. Players will be able to compete in the world’s biggest league or try to accomplish new victories in Women’s Football, which is a first for the franchise. Women’s Football will seamlessly join the new game, with both having the same ecosystem.
Now that there are both men and women on the playing field, Football Manager 25 has more playable leagues and nations than ever, and features the biggest player database in football gaming.
This new iteration in the franchise has swapped over to the Unity Engine after previously using the match Engine for Football Manager 2024 and Football Manager 2023. In a previous statement regarding Football Manager 2024, Miles Jacobson stated that it’d be the “last of its kind,” with many fans of the franchise speculating that the franchise was ending.
However, now that it’s been confirmed that they are swapping over to Unity Engine as well as adding Women’s Football to the game, it’s clearer than ever what they meant by that statement, as this is game-changing for the Football Manager franchise, especially after 20 years of the franchise.
Those who plan on picking up the new game will get to experience a new, smarter user interface which provides key info, as well as real-life volumetric player animations and enhanced graphical fidelity to give players the most realistic experience.
To celebrate the announcement of Football Manager 25, there is now an Announce Trailer showcasing the new era of the franchise.
