![]() These were originally made in 2D, before Sports Interactive moved on to using 3D graphics a decade later. Anyway, since Football Manager 2008, newgens have been given their own generated faces. That teenage wonderkid you’ve found at Boca Juniors who looks like the next Messi? Probably just a coincidence. So when Lionel Messi retires, it doesn’t mean the game will replace him with another diminutive left-footed Argentinian forward with elite potential. Since Football Manager 2007, we have instead had newgens – newly-generated players who are completely unrelated to any other player in the database. That’s an old term from Championship Manager, where an old player would retire and then be ‘regenerated’ as a younger version of himself, with the same position and characteristics but a different name. I’ve also provided some thoughts on how (and where) these faces could be improved for future games…įirstly, I’m sure you know this already, but generated players ARE NOT called regens. I’ve gone through every version from Football Manager 2015 up until the newly-released Football Manager 2022, tracking the evolution of FM’s newgen faces. ![]() Having played this series for over 20 years, I consider myself an FM historian who loves to look back and see how the game has progressed over the years. Some people in the FM community hate them others just tolerate them. It seems like with every passing FM, there’s a fierce debate about the 3D faces that are assigned to youth intake players. ![]() Let’s talk about newgen faces in Football Manager.
