Football Manager 2012 (abbreviated to FM12) is a football management-simulation video game. It was released on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X on 21 October 2011.[1] FM12 is the eighth game in the Football Manager series.

Gameplay

FM12 features similar gameplay to that of the Football Manager series. Gameplay consists of taking charge of a professionalШаблон:Efn association football team, as the team manager. Players can sign football players to contracts, manage finances for the club, and give team talks to players. FM12 is a simulation of real world management, with the player being judged on various factors by the club's AI owners and board.[2]

FM12 added increased levels of scouting, including the amount of information a scout would bring back for in-game players. The largest new addition to the game was the ability to add or remove playable leagues from the game at the end of every season.Шаблон:Efn

Release

A demo of the game was released on Steam in association with Sky Sports HD on 6 October 2011. It provides half of a season of game play, which can be continued within the full purchased version. The demo is limited to only the leagues of England, Scotland, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Australia, playable as quick-starts.[3]

Digital rights management

Football Manager 2012 is the first in the series to require the use of Steam software; this angered many thousands of fans of the series.[4][5] The move means that users must activate the game online before they are able to play. Sega indicated that the change was intended to reduce piracy.[6]
