What New Features Will FM 25 Have?

FM 25 New Features: New Unity Game Engine

The addition of the Unity game engine to Football Manager 2025 is raising expectations for unprecedented visual improvements and a smoother gaming experience. This engine change looks like an important step toward richer graphics and a more immersive experience on every match day. Many players are eagerly waiting to see how the 3D match experience and the game's visuals will improve.

In the latest development update, Miles Jacobson said: "Moving to the Unity engine is a huge undertaking. It's an incredible building block for us to build new foundations, unlock our potential, and strengthen our future vision for Football Manager with improved graphics and more efficient development processes." Miles Jacobson also said that the new game engine will make it easier to create and implement design-focused fine-tuning more quickly.

FM 25 New Features: Women's Football

According to the latest information, Miles Jacobson said they are working to add women's football to the game. This is expected to increase the game's inclusivity and diversity. Managing women's and men's football teams will be separate, and they will not be part of the same clubs as in EA FC.

Improved Animation Technology

FM 25 is expected to bring animation technology that delivers smoother and more realistic player movements. These improvements aim to reflect real-life football dynamics and improve the realism of interactions and reactions on the pitch. Focusing on improved animations will make every match in FM25 more realistic and engaging. This upgrade is especially vital because the 3D match engine introduced in FM09 has only seen gradual improvements over the years, which drew negative feedback from players. With these new improvements, we hope the era of outdated 2000s-style animations is behind us, ushering in a new period of visual excellence.

Removed Features and Modes

Touchline Shouts (Talk to Players)

One of the most notable features expected to be removed from the game as part of FM 25's new features is talking to players. As we all know, we could shout at players to change their morale. Despite being part of the series for many years, this feature never worked as intended. Talking to players was only effective after the ball had gone out of play. Because of this delayed response, you couldn't time your shouts precisely. There's hope this feature will return in future versions, but only if it can be implemented properly.

Social Media Screen and Data Hub

To simplify the user interface and improve the user experience, FM 25 will no longer include a dedicated social media screen. However, all essential information will remain accessible in other areas of the game, and the fans' in-game role will be preserved. Additionally, the "Data Hub" feature, which provided individual and team data, will be discontinued.

Create-A-Club

Create-A-Club, a beloved mode used by 5% of players, will not be in FM25. The decision comes from the mode not being able to be raised to the desired standard before launch. However, it is planned to return in FM26 or a later entry in the series with significant improvements for a better user experience.

Versus Mode

Despite being a personal favorite of the developers, Versus Mode is used by only 0.5% of players and will therefore not be included in FM25. While the mode's future remains uncertain, it's thought it could return in a new form or be replaced by another feature.

Challenge Mode

Previously part of the console, touch, and mobile entries, Challenge Mode's popularity has declined, and now fewer than 0.5% of players use it. It's planned to return in FM26 or FM27 and is expected to be completely reworked for an improved gaming experience.

Fantasy Draft

Fantasy Draft mode isn't expected to be in the FM 2025 launch, but it's thought to return in later versions and updates. This mode, intended for esports tournaments, is planned to receive innovations and improvements to enhance its competitive potential.
