Football manager 2018 is getting a new graphics engine, improved scouting, and better AI

It's less than two months until the next Football Manager - Football Manager 2018 - is to come out, so new features for the game are slowly being announced. In a parody of live news channels, some speculation and rumours were confirmed for the new game.

The first of those is a new graphics engine for the game, which is improving the stadium designs and match presentation. The sports science side to the game is also getting revamped after being introduced last year, to make it a more interesting feature and, seemingly, more meaningful an investment. 

"Dynamics" was also mentioned heavily, which is a new feature coming to Football Manager 2018. They're not talking about exactly what that means quite yet, but you can expect a series of videos discussing what that is referring to over the next month.

Scouting is getting changed up, to more accurately reflect the reality of scouting nowadays, and there are hints that there's also changed to reflect how transfer fees have changed in recent years, primarily how they're skyrocketing. On top of all of that, changes to the AI, tactics, fantasy draft, and data analysts are also coming, with more details coming alongside the videos for Football Manager 2018's dynamics.

Finally, there's some speedy in-game footage right at the end, so if you've got a beady eye (or are quick on the pause button), you can get a good look at the menus and interface you'll likely be using for the next year.
