00:00Football Manager 26 marks the next evolution of Football Management, a legacy redefined
00:04for a new era, and with the most advanced match experience in series history.
00:10This is the future of football storytelling.
00:13That means hundreds of new player animations, updated camera angles, a redefined highlight
00:17system, brand new cutscenes, improved lighting, richer pitch textures and upgraded stadiums,
00:23all elevated by the Unity engine.
00:25All of this comes together to raise immersion to new heights, unlocking the most authentic
00:29football simulation yet, and for the very first time, that includes the women's game.
00:33On the pitch, movement feels fluid, natural and truer to football.
00:37This year we've taken the use of volumetric animations even further, with new on-the-ball
00:42animations all powered by Hawkeye Innovations, captured from real stadiums, with real players
00:48delivering the authentic movement of the world's best.
00:50This brings football to life like never before, from dribbles to passes, shots and more, every
00:55touch, every action, more real than ever.
00:58We've taken the same approach with female players, blending real match action and bespoke
01:02motion capture to reflect the unique ways women move, authentically representing the
01:06women's game in FM26 for the very first time.
01:09But our FM26 match improvements go beyond just animations, with various elements of the
01:14match engine itself rewritten.
01:15For example, attacking players are now better equipped to stand up their opponents before
01:19deciding to take them on, alongside an overhauled pass-risk system, meaning you'll see more passes
01:24through traffic in the middle of the pitch.
01:26Of course, that's not all, you'll learn more about further match AI improvements when
01:30we dive deeper into FM26's new tactical tools.
01:33No matter who you're managing, you'll feel closer to every moment, thanks to a rebuilt
01:37camera system that covers a much wider range of angles across the pitch.
01:40Inspired by real-life TV coverage, a brand new broadcast mode combines multiple camera points
01:45and all-new cinematic angles to give you the best view of the action.
01:49With major audio improvements, FM26 doesn't just look like real football, it sounds like
01:53it too.
01:54And it goes further.
01:56Replays have had an overhaul, with a range of bespoke new angles added, FM26 now looks
02:00at the type of goals scored to give you the best possible replay, ensuring you're always
02:04given the perfect view, however it hits the back of the net.
02:08Also new this year, Dynamic Mode, a highlight option that adapts to every match, giving you
02:12the moments that matter most.
02:14In a close or crucial match, highlights will increase as full-time approaches, but if you
02:18coast into victory, you'll see fewer, letting the result play out as you close in on the
02:23win.
02:24Dynamic Mode reflects the match, the drama, the action and the glory.
02:27Upgraded stadiums breathe new life into every match day, from elite arenas to lower league
02:32rounds, with surrounding environments elevated significantly.
02:36FM26 now better reflects the location, stature and standing of your club.
02:40On the pitch, a dramatic overhaul of lighting and textures transforms every detail, making
02:45each match look and feel truly authentic.
02:48This comes together to deliver brand new cutscenes, making every match day more immersive on those
02:52big occasions even more special.
02:55Between the action, a brand new match overview screen puts everything in front of you, with
02:59a classic 2D view built in, giving you a clearer picture of your team's performance
03:02before you're pulled back into the action.
03:04Here, live match info and real-time advice from your assistant manager are always at hand,
03:09while expandable data cards give you deeper insight, powering smarter decisions as you
03:13chase victory.
03:14So step into the dugout and get closer to the action than ever, where every match tells
03:18its story.
03:19It's time to change the game.
