Earlier this year we ran the competition of a lifetime through FMFC, offering one lucky member a true money can’t buy prize – the chance to enter themselves as a Newgen in Football Manager 2021. This was an incredibly rare opportunity that we don't usually make available to the public. Jack Bassett from Bournemouth, England won the proverbial ‘golden ticket’, joining the game in the Final Winter Update as a striker.

Visit the Byline on the Football Manager Website to see how Jack has got on as a Newgen in Football Manager 2021.

Sign up to FMFC, our exclusive members hub, for the opportunity to join competitions like this, get studio insight and be in with the chance of winning an FMFC jersey every week until the end of the season.

Hello users!
Here is the news from Jinthree Studio, the Broken Universe development team.

We're constantly improving a lot of things, but in the next weekly update, we're working on some big changes with a special focus on level design.

'Unbuildable Terrain' is a new part of the game, and all stages are redesigned accordingly.
With this improvement, it is possible to add stages that allow for a newer experience, and various strategies are expected.

There will also be a balance update along with this, and improvements to the boss stage will be included. By setting the movement speed of the monsters lower, it would definitely be beneficial to construct a longer path. Currently, the strategy of placing powerful towers around the lander to block them is often effective, but we expect that this balance adjustment and the introduction of new terrain will allow various strategies to be used.

We'll be back with the next update.
Thank you!

New Mount - Elite Tyrant Beast will be available at Gabrielle's Gift on June 6. Unlock this Strong Mount to fight with you!
