Sports Interactive has revealed Football Manager Mobile 2016, a slimmed-down version of its popular sim game coming to iOS and Android later this year.
The phone and tablet title replaces Football Manager Handheld, which had previously released yearly on mobile and handheld devices. Key features include the ability to change your management style – such as from a tactical focus to a man-management approach – and the addition of coaching staff, allowing more control over training.
Football Manager Mobile 2016 will cost £6.99 at launch, although an exact release date has yet to be announced.
- Enhanced Tactics – Take greater control of your squad with the introduction of new tactical instructions. You can choose where your team concentrates its passing, as well as selecting your main attacking threat and creative outlet – and even advise your goalkeeper on distribution.
- Coaching Staff – Prepare your squad for match days better than ever before with the addition of coaches, providing your team with focused training to prepare for their next big fixture.
- Management Style – The introduction of gold, silver and bronze coaching badges allows you to define your own management style. Will you concentrate on improving your defence or attack, or focus on morale and man management? Your decision will influence your team’s style.
- Improved Screens – Redesigns to key screens makes Football Manager Mobile 2016 more intuitive than ever, while the improved news screen makes it easier than ever to take in all the information you need.
- Player Loans – Develop newly-signed younger players by loaning them back to their previous club so that they can continue to gain first team experience.
- First Window Transfer Parity – Managers who want to start a new career with largely unchanged squads across their entire game world can choose to enable the ‘no budgets in first transfer window’ option, allowing only free transfers to take place.
Football Manager Mobile 2016 joins Football Manager 2016 and Football Manager Touch 2016, additional, more expansive Football Manager titles due out later this year.
