In addition, there will be a revamp of the game's scouting methods to bring it closer to the reality of the process.Ī new scouting centre features in FM 18 and the game's developers have indicated that data analysts, which were introduced in FM 17, will play a bigger role. Sports scientists will also feature in the new game, as will a new-look fantasy draft. The inclusion of motion-capture models was revealed earlier in the year and Jacobson confirmed that there will be a new graphics engine, meaning an improved match experience (as shown in the video below).
