Football Manager 2020: Attacking AI Improvements

Football manager 2020 launch is just around the corner and the Beta version of the game will be available any moment now. Get your copy with instant Steam key access below.

The full version of the game comes out on the 19th of November. Meanwhile, the Beta should be available a couple of weeks prior to that.

In this blog we look at some of the key improvements that have been made to the match engine with regards to attacking play.

The AI will function in a lot more realistic manner with players taking a more calculated approach.

For example, players will now look to use their stronger foot more while crossing/shooting and are more likely to shift the ball onto their stronger side.

Furthermore, the decision making in the final third will also improve.

Attackers will now make clever runs to break the deep blocks. They will drop deep to collect the ball when needed.

In addition to that, strikers are also expected to beat the offside trap better now.

It will be interesting to see how these improvements affect the user experience.

It seems that Sports Interactive are committed to creating the most realistic version of the game possible and that will only excite the fans going forward.
