Football Manager 2022 sees a complete revamp of the Transfer Deadline Day.
Deadline Day revamp
Football Manager 2022 sees a massive revamp to the transfer deadline day. The final day of the summer or winter transfer window is always very hectic. With the importance of social media these days, the deadline day sees a massive increase in log-ins, posts and activity, making clear it is one of the most important days during the football season, or as Fabrizio Romano call it: a day like Christmas.
Sports Interactive have tried to reflect the importance of the transfer deadline day and have decided it was time to revamp the transfer deadline day experience in Football Manager. In previous versions they already had a feature where the game would stop processing more often on deadline day and they had some special graphics added to that experience. For FM22 the team has decided to revamp this area to make it better than ever.
Transfer rumours
SI have not only revamped the deadline day, but they have also changed the build-up towards the final transfer day. The rumour system has been improved and you will receive a lot more transfer rumours during the entire window. As the deadline day approaches, the number of rumours will increase and you will asked about possible transfers during press conferences and new interaction moments with journalists.
