Cleaner & easier interface in Football Manager 27
One of the biggest changes that FM 27 is getting is the revamped navigation system. You can now see the primary and secondary menus across the top of the screen.
This makes it easier to move between sections such as Squad, Tactics, Recruitment, Training, and Club.
Menus are also getting a makeover. Many pop-up windows have been replaced with full-screen pages. This will allow players to browse the information without opening or closing separate windows in the game.
Transfer management & smarter messages
The in-game inbox is also getting a major upgrade in Football Manager 27. Messages will now display useful information directly inside the box.
For instance, there is now a way to view scout reports directly from a message and a way to view and manage transfer offers without leaving the inbox. There has also been a shift to color-coding messages to make it easier to see exactly what messages are urgent and which are important during a busy season.
