## Gameplay

Football Manager 2011 features similar gameplay to previous entries in the Football Manager series. Gameplay consists of taking charge of a professional football team (the game also includes semi-professional, amateur, and international teams) as the manager. Players can sign football players to contracts, manage finances for the club, and give team talks to players. The Football Manager series is a simulation of real world management, with the player being judged on various factors by the club's AI owners and board.[7]

On 11 August 2010, Sports Interactive published a video announcing a number of new features that would be included in Football Manager 2011.[8] It features enhanced agent roles, with agents all acting differently according to their personalities.[9] In-game press conferences received a revamp, with more in-depth questions being asked by the press.[10] Football Manager 2011 also featured improvements to match analysis, with information regarding different plays being shown in-depth.[11][12]
