Cancel everything: It's nearly time to feed you Football Manager addiction Ladies and gentlemen, Football Manager is back!

The world's most realistic management simulator will return on November 7, with yet more features and developments from previous versions.

Whether it be enhanced scouting networks, job interviews or dodgy lasagnes, Football Manager 2015 is certainly the best yet.

Addicts. Gamers have already had their appetite whet by the exclusive documentary 'An Alternative Reality' and will be counting down the days to the game's release.

Here's what you can expect.

Management styles
Prospective bosses are now asked which type of manager they want to be - long before a ball has been kicked.

You have the choice to be a 'tracksuit manager' who spends much of the time on the training ground or a 'tactical manager', who focuses on selection and signing players.

Managers can dictate who they want to be at the very start of their career but fear not Tony Pulis wannabees, you can wear a suit if you like!

And not just that, virtual coaching badges allow you to progress alongside your club.

When setting up your profile you can select more than one favourite club (tut tut), choose your favourite tactical systems and even your preferred player roles.


Fix up, look sharp: Is it time to ditch the trainers and tracksuit?
Improved interface
One major change, obvious right from the start, is the complete redesign of the user interface.

Everything about the game looks and feels different from before, with managers able to navigate and guide their club to success much quicker.

Change is always good, isn't it?

Match view
A cutting-edge motion capture data has been installed - breathing new life into the match-day feel of Football Manager 15.

The introduction makes the game even more realistic and lifelike with over 2,000 new animations - from goal celebrations to red card and disappointment.

Alongside that, the introduction of improved lighting and ball physics – along with the addition of a variety of new stadium types – make the match-day experience that bit more realistic.


In the thick of it: The match-day feel has been improved
Job interviews
This enhancement made its debut in Football Manager 2014, but guess what - it's got even better!

Interviews have become more varied and include questions on your playing days and employment history.

These become more enhanced and detailed as your managerial career continues.

"So, what about that Brazilian flop who scored just once all season - in the Capital One Cup?"

Time to get thinking...

Media interaction
Inside the game, managers face a variety of new stories and questions, while there is a greater focus on touchline rivalries.

Another enhancement sees journalists looking for their next big headline from your press conferences - but don't go slating your rivals' youth policy.

You can also now be interviewed in the tunnel before a big match or at the training ground a few days before a game.

Should you want to do a Jose and be down the tunnel before the final whistle - you can ignore them.

Player search and scouting
An internet browser-style search bar on every screen makes finding players even easier.

New filters have also been added to the player search screens - including ones for unhappy players for you to work your magic on.

Scouting assignments have also been tweaked to make it easier to find the type of player you want – whether it's a direct replacement for your crocked left-back or someone for the future.

Scouts can also now be asked to cover particular nations and will deliver better and more detailed feedback.


Due diligence: No excuses for not doing your homework on transfer targets now
Player roles and movement
As many as four new roles have been added to Football Manager 15 to give managers even more power.

These are:

•Roaming Playmaker - for central and defensive midfielders
•Raumdeter - a 'wide poacher' for players who want to operate on the periphery of build up
•Inverted Wing Backs - for defenders who cut inside and make runs through the centre of the pitch
•Wide Playmaker - wingers with the freedom to drift inside and find space to create.
A selection of new preferred player movements have also been added - including Penalty Box Player - which was invented just for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Other new PPMs are: ‘Refrains from shooting from distance’ and, for goalkeepers, ‘Likes to throw the ball long to start counter attacks’.


New roles: Finally, you can play with a raumdeter
Finances
The game is completely up-to-date with all the latest FFP changes - so be warned future Manchester City bosses.

At the end of each season the manager will be issued with a summary from the Commercial Director, along with projections as to how promotion or relegation would affect the club in a financial sense.

Football Manager Classic
For players enjoying the 'streamlined' game, you can now opt to skip the entire pre-season, if you can't wait for the competitive action to start.

Alongside that, there are some new unlockable features - including Lifetime Player - if you don't want to 'do a Chelsea' and let your record goalscorer bag against you!

Others include 'Unsuspend Player', which removes bans, and 'dodgy lasagne' - used to adversely affect your next opponents or your fiercest rivals.
