What is new in Football Manager 27?

Football Manager 27 continues the series’ move to a clearer full-screen interface. Sports Interactive says navigation has been redesigned to reduce clicks, while cup draws, transfer deadline day, and the news feed have been reworked to make information easier to find.

Match days are also receiving broader visual and audio upgrades. Crowds use improved models, clothing variations, club shirts, flags, and more context-sensitive reactions. Stadium construction has more stand, roof, and corner combinations, while time of day, lighting, weather, and pitch conditions can change during a match. Player and manager models have been revised as well, including more athletic proportions, hair physics, and updated movement.

The official match-day presentation video below shows some of those changes in action.
