Football Manager 2019: 10 New Features To Be Excited About
5. VAR And Goal-Line Technology
The introduction of video assistant referees has sparked much debate in football. Although they are helping match officials do their job, some feel their inclusion only slows the game down and opens a new front for the haranguing of referees.
If you feel strongly about VAR one way or another, you can make your thoughts known in Football Manager 2019 as the technology will feature in the game, and its usage in matches is bound to come up in your post-match press conferences.
Obviously, VAR will only be present in leagues which use it in real life, such as the Bundesliga, so don't expect to see it in the English Premier League from the off.
One form of video technology you can expect in the English top flight, though, is goal-line tech, and stoppages of play showing whether the ball has crossed the line will be depicted from a top-down perspective by the 3D match engine.
