Video game developer Sports Interactive and publisher SEGA are announcing that they are planning to launch Football Manager 2016 on November 13 of this year on the PC, delivering a new installment in the long-running series that's designed to tweak the core experience and to add all new features.

Create-a-Club is designed to appeal to those who want to create their own team from scratch, choosing the initial personnel and the colors before adding themselves as actual players in order to make the experience more interesting.

Football Manager 2016 will allow gamers to insert it in any league, making easy something that many fans had trouble accomplishing with the editor in previous installments.

Gamers will also be able to create a manager character that will appear on the touchline and will interact with his players during the matches, shouting commands and reacting to the performance of the team.

Sports Interactive is also promising that it is introducing a range of improvements to the way the Artificial Intelligence approaches a range of aspects of Football Manager, from transfers to tactical setups and interactions with the board.

The real world ProZone analysis service is working with the development team to offer more feedback after every match.

Football Manager 2016 is also getting better highlights packages

For all those players who are unable to watch every match they want to but also feel underserved by simple score delivery, a multi-match highlight reel can be created for chosen competitions.

Football Manager 2016 also offers an improved match engine for those who love 3D action, better presentation of players stats and better realism, especially for the injury system that many of the fans have been asking for.

A Fantasy Draft multiplayer mode is also coming, with support for up to 32 managers who need to create a squad from scratch and then compete with friends.

Sports Interactive is also working on an updated version of the Classic experience, which is now named Touch to show that it is aimed at those who play on mobile devices as well as on the PC.

All saves will be compatible between the involved devices and the developers are saying the mode will appeal to those who want to move through a season relatively fast while focusing on tactics, even if they lose access to some of the new management options.
