Football Manager 2016: 14 Brand New Features To Be Excited About

11. Realistic Injuries/Treatments

You've just splashed out £50 million on a new Brazilian wonderkid, a 20-year-old striker with immense pedigree already. He's got stunning pace and fantastic finishing, composure, strength, agility, dribbling and everything else you want from a hotshot striker. Then it comes to his debut, and within 10 minutes you're carting him off the field, injured for 7 months. We've all been in a similar situation, and while injuries won't necessarily be less frequent, they'll make more sense. SI have worked closely with real-life sports doctors and physiotherapists to ensure that injuries are more realistic, they'll be determined in-game, they'll be treated more realistically, and there's a more distinct difference between match fitness and overall injury health.
