Though there are more interactions available to you when you’re speaking to the press, geeing up your players or talking tactics with your coaches, the new options exhaust themselves fast. The same interpersonal side of the game – where you manage conversations like some kind of footballing version of Mass Effect – is also recognisable. In fact, you’ll also manage the rest of your time in near enough the same way as you always have done, but at least transfer menus have become clearer, helping you to easily spot and amend clauses in player contracts. Whatever philosophy you choose, you’ll create tactics by selecting players, assembling them into a formation and providing individualised roles and instructions – just as you did in Football Manager 2015. Do you assert your own vision of the beautiful game on to your side, or do you seek to get the best out of what you’ve got – even if that means continually hoofing it up to the big guy at the front and hoping for the best? You create a manager, pick a club to take charge of and then manage team affairs in whatever way you see fit. True, Football Manager 2016 will feel familiar to veterans of the series.
The ease with which it was possible to view, interpret and adapt to conditions on the pitch in that match is a perfect example of why this is such a strong entry in the annual series. However, this meaningless Anglo-Dutch encounter proves important in terms of understanding Football Manager 2016 as a game.
