Sports Interactive, the company behind the SEGA-published series, do a lot of tinkering under the hood between each new instalment, so what exactly has changed? What differences can you expect to see when you load up the FM 23 beta<\/a> and start scouting for FM 23 wonderkids<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Keep on reading and we\u2019ll run through all the FM 23 new features that you need to know about. Put your best managerial suit on and check out the key info below.<\/p>\n

What are the FM 23 new features?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you\u2019ve got a bit of time on your hands, this official video from the Football Manager 2023 YouTube account sums up the FM 23 new features over a snappy 42 minutes:<\/p>\n\nThere\u2019s a more brisk summary on the game\u2019s <a href=\"\/\/www.footballmanager.com\/features"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>, thankfully enough, and we\u2019re going to sum all that good stuff up for you now. Let\u2019s get cracking, then!<\/p>\nA major\u00a0revamp to recruitment\u00a0<\/strong>has taken place for this year\u2019s game, and it can be summarised in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ul><li>A new tool called the Squad Planner will help you to better visualise your squad and the options at your disposal<\/li>\n<li>The new Experience Matrix will allow you to see which stage of their careers your players are at (e.g., you\u2019ll see if they\u2019re past their peak)<\/li>\n<li>Scouting has been overhauled, allowing you to set \u2018Recruitment Focuses\u2019 in key areas you want to improve<\/li>\n<li>Agents now have a larger role \u2013 you can reach out to them before making a transfer offer, or even before you try to renew a contract, to get the lay of the land<\/li>\n<li>Recruitment Meetings have been improved, too, now split into two different types (Planning and Feedback)<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\""image-handlercontainer\"

Interactive<\/i><\/span><\/div>\nA number of big changes have also been made to your\u00a0AI opponents, who will now be smarter\u00a0<\/strong>than before. Specifically, the decision-making skills of computer-controller managers should now be far more sophisticated, meaning they\u2019ll be harder to predict (and their teams harder to beat).<\/p>\nAnother big change is in the\u00a0European competitions, which are now officially licensed for the first time\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 the UEFA Champions League, the Europa League and the Europa Conference League will now have their official names and logos, allowing you to experience those mid-week matches with more realism than ever before.<\/p> There\u2019s also a whole\u00a0new system for Supporter Confidence<\/strong>, where you\u2019ll see your fanbase split into different categories (from Hardcore to Casual). Similar to the familiar system of Board Confidence, you\u2019ll now see detailed information about your fans\u2019 feelings on a wide range of topics.<\/p>\nAnd finally, the other major new feature to talk about is the\u00a0Dynamic Manager Timeline<\/strong>, which will sum up the milestones of your career in an easy-to-parse way (similar to the Fortnite timeline that remembers all your achievements over the years). This should allow you to bask in your glory, or you failures, for years to come.<\/p>\nFollow <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
