However, the game is not supported on Windows 7 or 8/8.1 going forward, so bear that in mind if you're running an older PC or laptop. Keeping the required graphical settings low keeps these players onboard. Many people that play FM do so on quite dated hardware and some rarely play other games.
This lack of graphical fidelity can be seen as a downside, but actually I think it will be a big plus.
But Football Manager always ran just fine. He played on an old laptop that wasn't capable of playing many games at all. I have a friend who has played Football Manager for years. Just as with the level of familiarity due to little change over the years, there are positives and negatives here. Animations are quite basic and there's a clear lack of graphical fidelity. This shows 3D models of the players on the pitch with the highlights playing out. There's more variety in appearance choices than before but it's not a lot for the most part. This heavily relates to what I've already stated above but it becomes apparent even as you start a new season and create your manager.
Something else you notice straight away with FM24 is how basic a game it is in regards to the graphics and UI. I found out very quickly in this situation that I was saying all the wrong things.
