It’s time to get excited, folks.
Football Manager 2018 is nearly here, with Sport Interactive’s latest release set to drop November 10.
We know, we know.
Another new game.
But, this year’s edition promises a plethora of new features and tweaks.
We’ve already seen plenty about the new ‘Dynamics’ system, which focuses further on the happiness and harmony of your squad over three key areas: Team Cohesion, Dressing Room Atmosphere, and Managerial Support.

And as we get steadily closer to the release date, the folks over at Football Manager have been gradually releasing new information via ‘FMTV’ stylised videos.
Football Manager 2018: New Scouting System
One of the key changes to this year’s game is the overhaul of the scouting system.
Stay with us, it’s actually more exciting than it sounds.
Data analysts look set to play a major role in how you go about player recruitment (much like in real-life).
Their role is to look at specific players and follow statistical trends over a season to see if they could add something new or unique to your team.
How else do you think N’Golo Kante was discovered?

For the first time, you can upgrade facilities and purchase ‘packages’ that cover local, national or continental leagues.
Of course, your packages will be heavily determined on how wealthy your club is and how much budget you put into scouting.

We’re also eager to look at the new scout rating score system.
The old star rating system is gone; replaced with a more accurate score out of 100.
Unlike the star system, this will fluctuate more regularly as your scouts gain more knowledge about a player.
Your scouting ‘focus’ can also be changed, which will go further towards helping you find players in a more broad range of categories, focusing further on the details.
Alternatively, you can opt for a more ‘short term’ option, which is much more immediate and specific – perfect for those quick-fix signings you need just before the transfer deadline.
