Football Manager 2012 New Features — what are you wishing for?

We still don’t know when Football Manager 2012 will be released but I’m almost 100% sure that it will be available before the end of this year, probably somewhere around October or November hopefully. There are a few months left before that but I figured that this would be a good time to talk about the new features that we would want to be included in the game. So let’s start with me sharing the top two wishes that I have for Football Manager 2012!

1. Upload more than just goals to YouTube

The upload to YouTube feature has been one of my favourites in Football Manager 2011, but unfortunately it was limited to goals. I would be extremely happy if you could upload clear cut chances in FM 2012 for instance or at least include more of the build-up to the goals.

2. Advanced set piece tactics

There was some progress in FM 2011 regarding the set pieces set up but what I would want is an even more detailed approach. The main thing that I would want would be to be able to set more intricate player movements and not only the position, for instance I might want to instruct the player standing at the near post for a corner to move into the six-yard box to challenge the goalkeeper and one of the lads in the middle of the area to move towards the near post. Or when it comes to free kicks I would like to set up some creative routines to surprise the opponent and then be able to select which routines to use during a game just like you select tactics.

I’m not too demanding, that’s all I’m asking for in terms of new features in FM 2012. How about you, what are you wishing for? Share your thoughts in the comments…
