A potential 'game of the year', and a game so good it should be fun for anyone to whom the concept appeals. Graphics, control, sound, presentation and gameplay must all be outstanding for a game to score this high. |
really an 8.5 ?? i would give it maybe a 7 or a 7.5 if you want to stress the 'no other footy manager game comes close' angle
the match engine is the same as 11.3 but i suppose if you're comparing the opening releases (11.0 -> 12.0) to each other it has improved
thanks to the being to address your conversations in a different tone of voice.
should that say: thanks to being able to address your .... or something because it does not make sense to me
yes team talks and contract negs are slightly improved but they were never really problematic or needed changing from the previous versions
best new feature for me is being able to instantly see the individual effect of team talks on players without digging up the assman's comments screen. And the new directors camera angle which adds a bit of variety depending on the situation (right behind the kicker for indirect fks etc.)
i'm in 2027 on my current save but i reckon 8.5 is a bit generous. it's good but hardly great and apart from the updated teams doesn't do enough differently that fm11 couldn't already
