Football Manager 2015 release date announced as November 7

The latest instalment of the iconic Football Manager series will go on sale in less than a month, Sega and Sports Interactive confirmed on Thursday.

Football Manager 2015 will launch on Windows PC, Mac and Linux on November 7. Those who slap down the cash early will get access to the beta version two weeks before the original release.

All seasons that get under the way in the beta version will be carried over to the main game once it goes on sale.

FM15 has been revamped in order to make the management experience more customisable. Managers are asked what type of boss they’d like to be before taking on a job, which will then affect how the game is played out.

For example, players can choose to be a training ground manager who focuses on routines and preparing for games. This enables managers to be on the training ground with the players, a first for the franchise.

Users can also choose to be a tactical manager who will earn his salt in the transfer market and in setting the tactics before and during the game. Managers can even improve their skills throughout the game by taking virtual coaching badges.

Scouting has also been overhauled with managers now able to specify what they’re looking for in a player when sending scouts out on a mission to uncover the next global star. Scouts will also build up a better picture of the player the more times they go to watch him.

The user interface has been revamped, for a more fluid experience while the Match View has also been improved with 2000 new motion captured animations.

You can check out the new features in the video below.
