- TV View. Watch your matches in new full screen TV view and customise your match day screen with widgets to view the information you need as a football manager, be it player performance, match action zones, pitch radar, latest scores and many more.
- Assistant Manager Feedback. Pre-match and in-match feedback from your Assistant Manager on how the team is performing and your player's motivation levels, as well as hints on how your tactics are working and how you could outwit the opposition's tactics.
- Press Conferences. Attend pre-match and post-match press conferences with local and national journalists and build up relationships with them over time, but choose your answers carefully because they could come back to haunt you in the media at a later date.
- Transfer System. Completely new and re-written transfer system code, providing an even more realistic simulation of real-life football transfers.
- Transfer Rumours. View the latest news on what players are being speculated on, and who's said to be interested in securing their services.
- Board Confidence. Following on from its addition in Football Manager 2008, board confidence has been expanded and improved. In addition, the board will now also offer feedback on your squad harmony and your club's stature in the football world.
- Preferred Moves. Train your players to learn 'preferred moves' to add to their game. For example, train central defenders to not dive into tackles, or wingers to do step-overs before crossing the ball.
- Female Manager. For the very first time you can now play as a female manager. All of the text in the game now also has a female gender so the game represents female managers and staff in the game in the correct gender.

The famous Football Manager match engine can now be viewed in full 3D with motion captured animations for the players. Sports Interactive has been working on the 3D match engine for nearly 3 years with the support of SEGA Japan's Virtua Striker team who provided the motion capture data and some of the animations. You can now watch your matches in 3D from multiple camera angles and re-watch any part of the match by fast forwarding and rewinding the action using a new match time bar that flags the key moments in the game. The old 2D view of the match engine is still there, especially for those people whose computers aren't powerful enough to take advantage of the 3D views.
FM2009 is fully updated for the new 2008/09 football season with all the latest league, club and player data, featuring over 5,000 playable clubs from over 50 countries, and around 350,000 players and staff from around the world, drawn fresh from the famous Sports Interactive database.

Once again the bar has been raised by the team behind the most succesful football management sim ever made.
Slight tweaks from FM 08 have been made including a 3D match engine and press conferences that have made the game even better than ever.
Some people do struggle to adapt to the changes made to the tactics engine and therefore leave negative reviews but any Football Manager fan will be left feeling that they are experiencing the most complete football management sim ever made when playing this game.
Thanks SI. looking forward to FM 2010!
P.S. Any faults regarding injuries lots of red cards etc have been fixed in the latest patch (9.3.0).
An excellent game, but poor by FM's high standards

This game is so bad i've reverted back to playing 07 and 08.The red card count is shocking and you seem to have half your squad out injured at all times.Dont bother buying,just wait for footie manager 2010 and pray it's better than this effort.
