(IMG:http://lh6.ggpht.com/raydenvm/SPONaPf-2YI/AAAAAAAACDE/W-znBZwilDU/image_thumb[1].png) While FM 2009 demo is on the way I did some research reading different Football Manager forums, podcasts and interviews. As a result I discovered a lot new features of our favourite football management game.

 

 

 

 


Details about 3D Match Engine
- Players will be differentiated by skin colour, hair colour, weight and height.

- 3D view is only method of match representation. It will not influence on speed of match calculation.

- When goal is scored there will be several variants of goal celebration by team. There will not be individual goal celebration.

- Goalkeepers and their saves will have quite good animation because it's very important part of football game.

- There will be zoom in 3D mode but not very close one. Because SI Games doesn't implemented face textures for players.

- Detailed visualization of stadiums is not in the plans for FM 2009. It can be developed in future versions of the series.


 

Clubs


- In FM 09 B Teams will be distinct football clubs. But it is still unknown whether there be possible to load the first team players to B team.

- Stadiums will expanded between seasons which is more comfortable because it doesn't cause you loosing money when seats are not available during matches.

 


Players
- Improved development of youngsters. Wonderkids will play flamboyantly since very young age.

- Attributes of players will depend more of trainings.

- Distance running statistics for each player within every game will be available.

 


Media Interaction
- If you promised journalists attacking style of playing but your team managed to get boring 0:0 draw, they will jeer at you after that!

 

And the last one: unfortunately version of Football Manager 2009 for Linux and consoles like XBox 360, Play Station 3, Wii will not be released at all. May be this will allow to make less buggy PC release - who knows...
