Football Manager 2009 PC (DVD)

Jalkapallomanageroinnin aatelointia - nyt kauden 2009 tiedoilla ja 3D-ominaisuuksilla lisättynä! Maailman kenties parhaimman urheilumanageripelin 2009-versio tuo virtuaalijohtajien iloksi mukavan määrän uudistuksia. Ensimmäistä kertaa pelisarjan aikana Football Manager kattaa 3D-näkymän otteluista, tehden pelistä entistä valovoimaisemman ja nautittavamman kokemuksen. Otteluita voidaan tarkastella 3D:nä useista kamerakulmista ja näitä voidaan myös kelata eteen- ja taaksepäin halutulla tavalla vaikka vain matsin avainhetkien katsomiseen.

Mukana on myös täyden ruudun "TV-näkymä", josta pelaajat voivat tarkastella haluamiaan tietoja ottelun aikana, oli kyse sitten maaleista, pelaajakohtaisista suorituksista tai ottelustatistiikoista. Kaikki täydelliseen joukkuemanagerointiin on tuotu pelaajien riemuksi ja entistä paremmin toteutettuna.

Football Manager 2009's match engine has seen more testing than ever before having been extensively beta tested in Football Manager Live for the past year.

The famous Football Manager match engine can now be viewed in full 3D with motion captured animations for the players. Sports Interactive has been working on the 3D match engine for nearly 3 years with the support of SEGA Japan's Virtua Striker team who provided the motion capture data and some of the animations. You can now watch your matches in 3D from multiple camera angles and re-watch any part of the match by fast forwarding and rewinding the action using a new match time bar that flags the key moments in the game. The old 2D view of the match engine is still there, especially for those people whose computers aren't powerful enough to take advantage of the 3D views.

As a result of usability testing on Football Manager 2008, this year sees widescreen support for the game for the first time, as well as lots of tweaks to the user interface for easier navigation.

Football Manager 2009 is fully updated for the new 2008/09 football season with all the latest league, club and player data, featuring over 5,000 playable clubs from over 50 countries, and around 350,000 players and staff from around the world, drawn fresh from the famous Sports Interactive database.

Sports Interactive have worked hard to reflect the greater impact the media has been having in recent years on the world of football, in the in-game dealings with the press. The game now features more news stories, more detail and greater media interaction than ever before, creating an even more realistic simulation of the football world.

    * TV View. Watch your matches in new full screen TV view and customise your match day screen with widgets to view the information you need as a football manager, be it player performance, match action zones, pitch radar, latest scores and many more.
    * Assistant Manager Feedback. Pre-match and in-match feedback from your Assistant Manager on how the team is performing and your player's motivation levels, as well as hints on how your tactics are working and how you could outwit the opposition's tactics.
    * Press Conferences. Attend pre-match and post-match press conferences with local and national journalists and build up relationships with them over time, but choose your answers carefully because they could come back to haunt you in the media at a later date.
    * Transfer System. Completely new and re-written transfer system code, providing an even more realistic simulation of real-life football transfers.
    * Transfer Rumours. View the latest news on what players are being speculated on, and who's said to be interested in securing their services.
    * Board Confidence. Following on from its addition in Football Manager 2008, board confidence has been expanded and improved. In addition, the board will now also offer feedback on your squad harmony and your club's stature in the football world.
    * Preferred Moves. Train your players to learn 'preferred moves' to add to their game. For example, train central defenders to not dive into tackles, or wingers to do step-overs before crossing the ball.
    * Female Manager. For the very first time you can now play as a female manager. All of the text in the game now also has a female gender so the game represents female managers and staff in the game in the correct gender.
