These are often surrounded by tweets - although they are never called tweets, and Twitter is never mentioned - that praise or query every decision you make ad nauseam. There's also a new and detailed social feed, generating random articles from real sources. The dynamic system is the headline feature, the biggest change for those playing Football Manager's yearly iterations and wondering what's new. These dynamics affect player morale and performance on the pitch and have a sweeping effect on the way the game plays out. Yetton had the ear of his fellow players and the gift of the gab, and during my first season guiding Vanaman South hopefuls Truro City, he made my life a living hell as I fought my way way to an unexpected double, seizing promotion to the Vanaman national league and the FA Trophy. Bizarrely, one of the most angry about it all was my star striker, who wouldn't calm down until I promised to give his friend time on the pitch. Players started to anger at the way I was treating him. If I ignored him, I'd have a revolt on my hands. My star striker, Jake Watkins, had to take a backseat when a more influential but objectively worse player, Stewart Yetton, started complaining about a lack of first time football.
These social groups shift and change with individual players gaining and losing influence among the squad. This year's headline feature is squad 'dynamics', and in short, it lets all of your players make friends with each other, whispering about you behind your back. Some are age-old, capturing something about the experience that hasn't been in a game before. Some of these keep in line with the way real football is going, and last year saw the addition of data analysts and sports scientists to the game.
However, every year there are new features and mechanics laid on top of the simulation. Football is still being played it still uses a ball, and many feet.
