Football Manager 2023 is just around the corner, with the Beta set to release very soon.
With that in mind, we can already take a first look at the game thanks to the creator network that exists within the FM community.
A number of prominent YouTubers have gotten their hands on Football Manager 2023 early and their videos offer some major insight into where this game thrives, and where it may fail.
Football Manager 2023 First Look
The Football Manager Creator Network released major videos showcasing the brand-new game, with different elements explored across each video.
Some explored the new recruitment features added into FM23, with strong positives being taken from the way that the game links across multiple facets.
The new additions to the Data Hub also received high praise, with detailed passing graphs and expected assists as just two of the new stats added.
Debate around the merits of the FM gameplay has arisen across the community in recent days and we're sorry to report that the graphics don't look to have improved much.
However, the gameplay mechanics and player animations look a lot smoother, with passing a particular highlight.
Hidden Features
As highlighted in a video by WorkTheSpace, there are a number of hidden features in FM23 that Sports Interactive did not highlight in their headline features reveal.
Small tweaks and improvements make a big difference to FM players and we're pleased to report that some of these minor additions will impact your save in a hugely positive way.
For example, one of the minor features showcased in the video is the ability to get agents to assist in resolving player issues, meaning you can maintain a strong relationship across the board and keep your stars happy.
There are plenty of new features discussed throughout these videos and we highly recommend going through and watching each video to best gauge the landscape heading into FM23.
