What is the Dynamic System in Football Manager 2024?

One of the most exciting additions to the Football Manager 2024 is the Dynamics system. This system allows you to define your managerial style and better understand how your players respond to your decisions. When you create your manager profile and choose your team, you'll be asked to select your Manager Principles. These are core values and standards like Dedication, Consistency, and Leadership that you expect your players to follow in training and during matches. You get to choose three of these principles.

But here's the twist: your players' buy-in matters. Buy-in represents how much your players believe in your vision and your management style. Each player's level of Buy-In depends on their unique personality, which can be Engaged, Enthusiastic, Believer, or Devoted. Your decisions, such as how you handle situations like players being late to meetings, will influence their Buy-In.

Football Manager 2024 also introduces a Hierarchy visual, showcasing the makeup of your squad, from Team Leaders to newcomers. This allows you to understand the power structure within your team.

Can we Train the players to get better?

In Football Manager 2024, the Training module has been enhanced to give you more control and insight into your team's development.

Now, you can choose your team's training focus for the upcoming week. Whether it's attacking, technical, or physical, you can see what your players are working on daily. Visualizations track your team's recent training sessions, helping you identify areas that need improvement.

Additionally, the training units have expanded to include Attacking, Defending, and Goalkeeping units. These groups determine the players' workload and the top five attributes they'll develop in the next week. You can also move players between units to expose them to different aspects of the game.

Can we hire young players into the team?

In Football Manager 2024 Console, mentoring groups have been enhanced to help develop your young talents. These groups consist of at least three players, pairing prospects with senior players to aid in their growth on and off the pitch. If you're unsure about which players to group, your Assistant Manager can provide guidance on the best combinations.
