Please enable cookies to view.<\/span> <button id=\"ot-sdk-btn\" class=\"ot-sdk-show-settings\">Manage cookie settings<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<p>The likely reason for these less-than-honest offers, in brief, is that higher ratings for their players means a higher chance of securing a transfer to a bigger club &#8211; and a higher fee for the agents to take a cut of themselves, in the process. As Jacobson elaborated: &#8220;it&#8217;s the just fact that so many clubs use our data that people do want to be represented positively in the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It makes for some interesting timing, with Football Manager 2021 actually introducing a feature that lets you have quick, one-to-one calls with agents this year for the first time (more on that in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2020-11-24-football-manager-2021-review-a-world-beating-sim-better-than-ever\">FM21 review<\/a>, by the way, although spoilers: it&#8217;s excellent).<\/p>\n<p>Football Manager&#8217;s reputation for unearthing new talent, meanwhile, is nothing new. In the podcast Jacobson also notes that Andre Villas-Boas, the former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager, was apparently the first to openly admit to using the game to find players while he himself was a Chelsea scout in the first Mourinho era.<\/p>\n<p>Other clubs like Everton have openly used the game since at least 2008, and in 2014 that was made more &#8216;official&#8217; by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2014-08-11-football-manager-database-licensed-for-real-scouting\">the deal struck with scouting tool Prozone<\/a>, setting up a new searchable database of players here in the real world.<\/p>\n<p>Players, too, have always cared about their stats, occasionally messaging Jacobson about their Pace or other attributes, albeit &#8220;always with a &#8216;lol&#8217; at the end&#8221;, and Sports Interactive&#8217;s been working with Ballon D&#8217;Or-level players for a little while now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2020-11-10-how-football-manager-is-tackling-the-strangest-of-seasons\">as Jacobson told Eurogamer<\/a> recently. And hey, I&#8217;ve even tried <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2018-07-10-i-was-in-football-manager-and-i-dont-know-how-to-feel-about-it\">tracking down the person who scouted me<\/a> for the game back in 2010, albeit with limited success &#8211; and sadly no wads of cash from an agent to help me out.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first I&#8217;ve heard of them actively trying to bung their employers&#8217; way to greatness, though. Hopefully it&#8217;s the last.<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of disgruntled pros, meanwhile, there&#8217;s also the burgeoning dispute between Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gareth Bale and others over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2020-11-24-zlatan-ibrahimovi-accuses-ea-of-using-his-name-and-face-in-fifa-21-without-permission-ea-responds\">EA Sports&#8217; use of their image rights in FIFA<\/a>, as Eurogamer first reported today, which their agents might be busy worrying about anyway.
