There’s loads to look forward to in Football Manager 2018, including a host of intriguing ‘real world’ features, from the impact of Brexit on work permits and transfer fees, to historic support for gay players.
Note that as exciting as all this sounds, the public beta is still very much pre-release software, so you should still expect a handful of bugs and glitches.
