Football Manager touch warms up on the Switch

Football Manager, in its mobile form or on the PSP or Vita was a brilliant way to carry your managerial ambition anywhere. Not so sure the Switch is the perfect platform for it, but here it comes to a million likely sales!

Football Manager has long been the most realistic, in-depth and immersive football management simulation in the world, so much so that everyone else pretty much game up competing.

Putting you in the hot seat of any club from over 50 countries across the world, Football Manager Touch allows you to take on the role of a real-life gaffer: deciding who plays and who sits on the bench, and you’re in total control of tactics, team talks, substitutions and pitch-side instructions.

FM Touch has been fully optimised for the Switch with a bespoke user interface and a customised control system that takes full advantage of the system’s various controller input options, including support for both the touchscreen and Joy-Con™ controllers.  This gives fans a unique Football Manager experience that can be played on the move or docked at home and enjoyed on the big screen.

In addition, FM Touch on Switch will offer a fully-fledged single-player experience including the series’ acclaimed 3D Match Engine – the first time that the 3D engine has been playable on a home console.

“This is a milestone release for Football Manager,” says Sports Interactive’s Studio Director, Miles Jacobson. “This is our first console release in a number of years but it is also our most innovative release of Football Manager Touch to date thanks to the various control methods we’ve included that gives everyone a way of playing Football Manager that suits them.”
