FIFA Manager: We Want Your Questions

For an exclusive interview with Bright Future’s Gerald Kohler who is the Lead Designer on the FIFA Manager series. We want you to come up with the questions for this interview so that the FIFASoccerBlog community voice is being heard in all areas of the FIFA gaming world.

So if you want to know about the future of the FIFA Manager series, how their new initiative “Your Feature” works, how a football management game is made and how they tie in with the rest of the EA SPORTS FIFA series then ask away, the floor is yours.

Even if you’ve never played FIFA Manager before you may still be interested in the football management genre and how the team at Bright Future approach their version of football management simulation.

Put all questions for Gerald Kohler in to the comments field please, then we’ll pick the very best and send them off to the development studio. Look out for the full interview over the next few weeks to see if your question got the answered it wanted…

    Well, first of all, does FIFA Manager have a vast data editor as Football Manager? If not, it should.

    Anyway, questions:
    - What does EA use as benchmark for its game?
    - How much are they inspired by Football Manager?
    - Will there be a proper integration between FIFA and FIFA Manager? Like transferring player and team data from either game, like if someone wanted the world they have in FIFA Manager to be played out in their FIFA Career Mode.

    Guilherme, the data editor is spectacular.

    Thanks for the answer, Tom. I have been on hiatus from management games since FM 2008, and since I’ve never played FIFA Manager I really can’t help with better questions. From all I’ve read, it still seems EA has seas to part and miles to go before competing with the (original, not EA’s) FM series.

    no worries bud,

    basically, the editor is seperate from the game. you can fire it up seperately, change anything you want for any player, and then when you start a career, choose whether to use default squads or your edited ones. it’s a really in depth tool, and easy to use.

    It looks like this… but there is a lot more to it.

    I’ve only really starting to put time into it again recently, but i’m loving it.

    I’ve never really got into management sims, last one i played was CM 2010 on the iphone….

    Will there be a console version?

    unlikely Adam, the UI would need a huge overal to make it easy to navigate with a pad.
