The latest instalment in the Football Manager franchise brings to the table a variety of upgrades and improvements while maintaining the core gameplay everyone knows and loves. Once again players can enjoy a career as a manager of a football team. Hunting for new talents, developing strategies and tactics to surprise other clubs and winning the love and support of the fans are just some of the tasks of a manager. No one said it's an easy job but it sure is exciting!

Gameplay

The first thing you need in Football Manager 2023 is naturally to get a club under your management. Creating a team is a delicate task and requires a bit of flexibility. You can rely on famous football stars or decide to take chances with promising young players and create stars yourself! Invest in training staff and let young talents spread their wings! You can also make a mix of both. FM23 offers a multitude of options while acquiring new players including better scouting, recruitment meetings and relations with players' agents! With little intuition and good info, you can plan the future of your team!

Be unpredictable with your strategies and tactics to surprise and outsmart your rivals. You'll need some unorthodox solutions because AI managers’ simulations have been significantly improved and now they are the smartest in the whole series! It's a realistic experience that will test your wits and your planning skills. And speaking of realism, you can also enjoy a new range of new animations as well as improvements to the way wing-backs and double pivots operate!

Succeed in EFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League! And in the future, you can engage in UEFA Women's Champions League! It's an achievement in and of itself to compete with the best European teams. Show everyone your uncompromised skills and lead your team to glory and fame!

You'll need to meet the expectation of both the board and your loyal fans. The Supporter Confidence system will let you be as close to the club's fans as ever before!

Finally, you can savour your success and feel even more proud of your achievements thanks to the new Dynamic Manager Timeline. With the unpredictable and often chaotic job of a football manager, it's easy to lose the most epic and gratifying moments but with this new system, you'll be able to revisit and enjoy them whenever you want!
