In-Play FOOTBALL MANAGER

North London. The club with the cockerel on the shirt. 2016-17. The season D·E·S·K were at their very best — and still the title got away. You take the job with half the season already gone. Whether you can climb the one step they couldn't: that's the whole game. ════════════════════════════════════════ ■ DESK — why this game starts here Delvin Arden · Erik Sench · Song Ho-Bin · Kevin Harris. If you remember that club in those years, four letters is all it takes. How you use them decides the season. The rounds left are fixed and the points gap is already there. From here it's on you. ■ Twenty-two players, each making their own call, in real time This isn't a simulation that only computes a result. Every player has his own vision, decision-making and preferred foot, and picks his pass, his shooting angle and his tackling moment accordingly. Ninety minutes, in 3D, all the way. ■ Orders from the touchline, while the match is running When the game turns, change the press, the attack, the width and the tempo on the spot, rally the side or send everyone forward. Make substitutions at a dead ball. If a man is sent off, rebuild the side with ten. ■ Tactics in two layers — the team, and the man Individual roles sit on top of your team shape (attacking, balanced, defensive). The same 4-3-3 plays like a different side depending on who you push forward. Save the combinations you trust as presets and pull the right one out for each opponent. ■ A three-season career Your career runs for three seasons from the day you take over. Season 1 is the 12 rounds of the second half; seasons 2 and 3 are 24 rounds each. Short on purpose - every match moves the table. ■ Multiplayer - one on one with other players' managers Pick a club (20 to choose from) and upload your playbook (your eleven and your tactics); other players' managers can then challenge your team. In the match, an AI manager runs your side from your playbook, reacting to the game in real time. Find opponents to challenge, test ideas in friendlies, and climb the weekly league for rating and ranking points. Groups are redrawn every week. Requires Google Play Games sign-in. ■ Five ways to watch Broadcast, cinematic, top-down, and from behind either goal. Go overhead to read the shape; drop behind the goal for the finish. ■ Every match leaves a report Not just the score and the scorers, but where your plan worked, where it was opened up, and how to approach the next opponent. The other results from the same round come with it. ■ A squad that lives Players age, improve, and fall away. Form rises and dips; they pick up injuries and suspensions. A shot struck with the wrong foot really does go in less often. ■ One line in a press conference moves the dressing room What you say before kick-off shifts your squad's morale. ■ Save the moment, watch it again Keep the goals you love as replays and pull them up any time. ■ Korean · English · Traditional Chinese · Spanish · French · German · Japanese · Italian · Arabic · Thai ■ Built for landscape, and for one-handed play ════════════════════════════════════════ ※ All clubs, players and competitions in this game are fictional.
