EA Sports has announced FIFA Manager 11, which will mark the tenth anniversary of its popular football management series.

Rather unsurprisingly, EA is talking up this year’s title with claims it will be a “leap forward in virtual football management”.

FIFA Manager 11 will offer a host of new feature enhancements including an improved tactics system, a much more realistic transfer market and an extended online mode.

“We want to provide our fans with a completely unique football management experience in this anniversary year for the franchise with all the great new innovations that reflect actual real life football management included in FIFA Manager 11,” said Gerald Köhler, lead designer of the series. “We are very proud that we are now developing our tenth FIFA Manager game in succession. This would not have been possible without the support of our superb and still growing fan base.”

EA Sports hopes the more experienced football managers will appreciate the new and improved tactics system which allows for quicker and deeper involvement, while a new pitch screen allows the manager to quickly set instructions for individual players as well as for the entire team’s playing style.

Further enhancements include new cup draws, a special status for Derby matches, a revised player level system, a new experience system, a new player search system and a World Cup tournament that can be played separately to the main game.

FIFA Manager 11 is scheduled for release this autumn for PC.
