FM 2022 New Gameplay Features
New Game Mode: Versus
While the details of this game mode remain unknown, the following text is shown; “Exclusively for FMFC members. Join now and find out more >”.
Nothing has been posted yet on FMFC.

New Area: Data Hub
There is now a centralized hub area which will be displayed as a tab on the left side of your screen. In there you will find reports labelled as “Key Findings” which will inform you on your club’s data.
Some of these reports are; “Overall Match Momentum”, “Last Match Passes”, “Last Match XG Performance”. Sub comments are given to each report title. When clicked on, a pop up displaying a detailed graphic is shown.

New player role: Wide Centre-Back
New role in the Central Defensive positions. Instructions for this role are; “Stay Wider”. Description is as follows;
The main job of the Wide Centre-Back is to stop the opposing attackers from playing and to clear the ball from danger when required. However, unlike standard central defenders, the Wide Centre-Back is encouraged to stay wide in possession and support the midfield more like a fullback.
This new role also has the sub-roles of “Defend”, “Support” and “Attack” (it is assumed that Automatic may also apply).

Recruitment Department
Looks like the scouting department may be replaced with a new/revamped “Recruitment” department.
It still seems that there are four main areas of your staff; Coaching, Recruitment, Development & Staffing.

3D Match improvements
We're able to see more clearly wheel-chair and infirm spots now in the stadium on display within the video.

More customizable manager avatar
Eyebrows are now editable for your in-game character, among other options.

Key Additions

All we can deduce from the official press release is that FM22 "will give you new ways to earn success for your club".

We imagine this could be around growing a club's fan base, as this has been difficult to do in the past.

The trailer references a lot of firsts - like Union Berlin's best ever Bundesliga finish - so perhaps these kinds of targets will come into the game.

POSSIBLE WONDERKIDS



This is a list of nearly 150 young players we think think they could be wonderkids or potential wonderkids on Football Manager 2022, based on what we know from real football. We tried not to include players who appear on our famous list of wonderkids for FM21 in an effort to find some fresh starlets who are still relatively unknown.

The age limit is to be up to 20 years old by July 2021. Please note that the order is totally random.

FOOTBALL MANAGER 2022 is almost here and you know how we do it yearly, this will be the official Nairaland thread for FM 2022 PC.

This thread will be updated frequently until the official launch which is coming up on November 9th 2021. Early access( beta) will be out by October 26th 2021 stay tuned in!

Oyaaaa

To be honest with you, I haven't seen much that has been added in FM 22. Let me just wait and see

This is how SI chose to reflect Covid in FM22’s gameplay. Once more, FM 2022 will attempt to strike the best possible balance between realism and escapism

Miles Jacobson - Sports Interactive studio director - posted an official FM22 development update, which provides insight on what we can expect from Football Manager 2022 in terms of covid implications.

Covid continues to cause issues in the world of football. The virus is still hitting players, making them unavailable to play and isolation is still a factor in some territories. Crowds are back in most leagues, but we’re still far from capacity.

As far as escapism is concerned:
Covid will NOT be in the game.
Players will not miss matches because of Covid
Players will not need to isolate when returning from holiday.
Health officials will NOT come onto the pitch to call off friendlies because some players haven’t followed the local isolation rules.
Crowds will fill stadiums to pre-pandemic levels.
Handshakes are still there too, as the community voted for last year.

Now for the realism side of things:
Made further changes to an already flexible transfer system to try and make that area as accurate as possible.
Many more clubs than normal will start the game with much smaller budgets available.
With decimated finances, some clubs will have to try and sell players, while others will struggle to reduce their squad sizes and wage bills.


In a nutshell:
While the pandemic may not be going away any time soon, in FM22 it’s as over as it can be. Just don’t expect big transfer budgets year one.
