Football Manager 2025 Features Roadmap Explained by Miles Jacobson
As Football Manager 2025's release approaches, Sports Interactive has revealed a new, dynamic roadmap that will guide fans through the exciting new features of the game. This roadmap, as explained by studio director Miles Jacobson, provides a detailed look at the upcoming gameplay features and beyond. With a focus on ongoing updates and future content, it ensures that the FM25 experience continues to evolve even after launch.
In this post, we will break down what the features roadmap is, how it works, and what you can expect from the upcoming announcements.
What is the Football Manager 2025 Features Roadmap?
The Football Manager 2025 Features Roadmap is a scheduled plan of announcements that will introduce key gameplay improvements and innovations, starting with the Introduction of Women's Football on the week of October 7th. This roadmap is not a one-off release but a dynamic and evolving timeline that will reveal more about the game as time progresses.
Each section of the roadmap will be unlocked progressively, keeping fans engaged and informed as new features are revealed. The roadmap provides a clear timeline for what's coming next, but there’s more to it than just gameplay features.
How Does the Roadmap Work?
According to Miles Jacobson, the roadmap will not only outline initial gameplay features but also future content updates that will be delivered after FM25's release. These updates won’t be limited to simple bug patches or minor adjustments. Instead, they will include both small and large content updates that will enrich the gaming experience over time.
The first official feature drop is scheduled for the week of October 7th, introducing Women's Football for the first time in the series. Once this is announced, the date for the next feature reveal will unlock, and so on, keeping the excitement alive throughout the launch phase.
Miles also highlighted that this roadmap is a living document, meaning certain announcements or features might shift based on development progress or feedback from the community. This adds flexibility and ensures that the most important features get the attention they deserve.
A Dynamic Roadmap for Future Updates
What sets this roadmap apart from previous Football Manager feature reveals is its dynamic nature. Rather than simply revealing everything before the game’s release, new features and gameplay improvements will continue to be added to FM25 over time. Miles has hinted that some of these updates will be major, while others might be smaller in scale. Each update will be part of the live roadmap, ensuring that players always know what's coming next.
For the first time in the series, post-launch content updates will be planned, and they will be shared on the roadmap. This means that Football Manager 2025 will evolve and grow, offering more content long after its initial release.
Key Announcements to Look Out For
While the exact details of each feature are still under wraps, here are some of the exciting updates we can expect based on the roadmap structure:
- Women's Football (Week of October 7th): The first major reveal introduces women’s football into the Football Manager universe, offering a groundbreaking addition to the game.
- Tactics: A refresh of tactical options will likely be announced, giving managers more control and versatility in their game plans.
- Your Manager: Could we see more customisation options for your in-game avatar? Only time will tell.
- Interface and Match Experience: Expect some major quality-of-life improvements here, as these have been highlighted as areas of focus.
- And Much More: As hinted, there are plenty more features to be announced after the initial roadmap drops, keeping fans on their toes!
Conclusion: Stay Tuned for FM25’s Feature Roadmap
The Football Manager 2025 roadmap is more than just a preview of upcoming features—it’s a promise that the game will continue to evolve well beyond its November 26th release date. With ongoing updates planned through the live roadmap, FM25 promises to be the most dynamic entry in the series yet.
