Politically Accurate Football Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Football Manager 2017' Will Include the Effects of Brexit

— October 19, 2016 — Tech
Football Manager 2017 is not like other sports video games. While the FIFA franchise, the Madden franchise, or other similar sports games take pride in offering a facsimile of real professional play, the Football Manager franchise provides an incredibly realistic experience of managing a sports team -- an experience that hardcore sports fans love.

While gameplay for a traditional sports game need not concern itself much with historical context, the upcoming Football Manager 2017 game needs to take the political climate into account. As such, the game will activate Brexit in its virtual March 2017 (the month when Brexit is slated to be enacted in real life.)

Brexit will have a measurable impact on football players in real-life, as their visas and work permits will need to be reassessed. Thus, the game's inclusion of the political exodus is a relevant one.
Trend Themes
1. Real-life Integration in Sports Video Games - Sports video games are incorporating real-life events and politics to keep up with the unpredictable nature of the sports industry.
2. Enhanced Realism in Sports Video Games - The inclusion of political events like Brexit in sports video games requires greater attention to realism in gameplay.
3. New Opportunities for Customization in Sports Video Games - Sports video game developers can bring new levels of customization by allowing players to explore the effects of real-life events on the game.
Industry Implications
1. Video Game Industry - The video game industry must adapt to changing times to deliver immersive and realistic gameplay that connects with diverse audiences.
2. Sports Industry - The sports industry can bring in new revenue streams by partnering with video game developers and allowing fans to experience the effects of real-life events on the sports teams.
3. Lifestyle Industry - Sports video games can enable players to engage with their lifestyles by providing them with real-life context, making the experience more immersive and engaging.
