Norwich Evening News features in Football Manager 2024 game

Your chance to put that belief to the test has arrived after Football Manager added reporters from the Eastern Daily Press, Norwich Evening News and the Pink Un to its 2024 edition. 

The cult computer game is always evolving and has added a host of new features to FM24. 

Among them is that realistic element of genuine media companies during press conferences, with those who take on the challenge of managing the Canaries getting a grilling from Norfolk news outlets. 

It will not be our City writers Paddy Davitt, Connor Southwell or Samuel Seaman posing the questions but instead it is fictional reporters representing our long-established brands.

Football editor Paddy said: “It’s great to see Football Manager has added the EDP, Evening News and Pink Un to its press conferences – I hope those ‘reporters’ have done their homework though.

“I’ve been covering Norwich since 2011 and interviewing managers will certainly test your mettle, particularly when the team isn’t doing well. 

“Our newspapers have been covering the club’s highs and lows since it was founded in 1902 and we’re proud to continue that tradition, both in real life and the computer-generated world.”

The games are produced by Sega and Sports Interactive these days, having started out as Championship Manager in the mid-90s, offering a realistic simulation of the intense pressure and tactical challenges faced by the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.
