Football Manager 2014: 12 New Features To Be Excited About

5. You Can See Through Agent Bullsh*t

It€™s a minor change by comparison, but I felt it had to be mentioned. I don€™t know about you, but whenever I see fit to traverse the spreadsheet-laden plains of FM, I always go to the settings and get rid of the agent offers. I know you can occasionally uncover a gem through them, but it€™s not worth wading through all the fee-grabbing parasites attempting to flog you a Ghanaian journeyman who was last seen in Serie B. Again, to each their own, but it€™s something that really annoyed me. So imagine my relief when I saw that FM 14 allows you to see the players details and their stats straight from your news screen. No more will I have to waste valuable clicks when some Balkans-based svengali offers me a busted flush €“ I can see what€™s going on, and can politely decline. Also, this€™ll make finding the one time out of 100 where an agent does a good job far easier to recognise, so good job all round, really.
