Football Manager 2021 Match Screens Mod

Welcome to my Match Screens Mod for Football Manager 2021.

As you may have noticed FM21 has re-worked the match screens, so I have rebuild the Match Screens Mod from scratch keeping the functionality of the new FM21 screens whilst adding in some more customization options as well as bringing back some panels from previous versions.

The mod again incorporates modifications to both the Match In Between Highlights panel and the Match Review screens, though I haven't had chance to modify the pre-match line-up panels or the Post Match Press Summary Panel.

Match In-Between Highlights Panel

With the changes made to FM21 this has now been split into two parts, on the left you have the Notable Events Panel where I have kept the fixed width of the default panel and the ability to display it during highlights by clicking on the score in the scoreboard, but have split it into a split container where you can adjust the height split of the panel in game, and each panel now uses the selector panels so you can also adjust what information is displayed in each panel by clicking the dropdown menu in the top right corner of each panel.

I have stripped out the Dugout panel, instead this information is now available by selecting the Advice view in the selector panels.

Then on the right you have the Touchline Tablet which incorporates the IBH panel, and like the default panel you can collapse it down to one column if you want to replicate the widgets and clicking the Tablet icon in the players bar on the bottom of the screen will pop up the panel during the highlights. I have also increased the width of the panel to use up the space previously used by the dugout however the width is resolution limited and in addition the game only allows you to set three width values so for some resolutions (1280, 1680, 2560) the tablet won't expand all the way, so you may need to check out the Advanced Instructions which will detail how to edit the xml files to increase the width.

The Touchline Tablet has also been expanded out to eight panels where you can adjust the height and width of each panel in-game which should give you the flexibility to set up the tablet how you like, and as always if you don't need all the panels you can drag the sliders to the corners to collapse the extra panels.

Within the selector panels I have added back the legacy views that still work and also included some of the new Analysis panels - though the Match Story will only have enough data to work in the second half, and the Shot Maps seem to follow the Home/Away team rather than which team you are unlike the other panels. I have also changed the functionality of the Team Stats/Body Language panels each of these now show the same information however the Stats panel keeps the subs on the bench whilst the Body Language panel moves them onto the pitch so you can now select whether you want the subs on the top/bottom in game by selecting either of those views.

Half-Time Review Panel

I've re-worked this panel on the left side you now have two selector panels where you pick from a variety of views, the middle panel shows the review data from last years mod - Team Analysis and Best/Worst Performer panels, whilst the right side panel shows the Analysis data that is used on the default panel with the game controlling the exact Analysis data you get given. You can also access the advanced panels by clicking the buttons at the bottom.

Full-Time Review & Post-Match Review Panels

For some reason the Full-Time Review (panel before going to the Team Talk) and Post-Match Review (screen you get when revisiting a played match) panel now use the same file which causes some problems as for example the Team Analysis panel only works on the FTR screen, however whilst they share an xml file the game does allow you to set the panel splits and views independently so you can configure the FTR and PMR panels to show different info with different sized panels.

These panels have been altered to use the Split Containers which a maximum of eight panels available for your use (though like with the Touchline Tablet you can collapse any extra panels you don't need by dragging the sliders to the edge) and each panel has been changed to a selector panel giving you a variety of views to select via the drop-down menus.

Like the last couple of versions this version is skin and mode independent so there is just the one version you need to download. So if you are using the Default Skin you don't need to download the Base Skin and it should also be compatible with third party skins (unless they have modified the same files).

Whilst I haven't had a chance to test it the Mod should also work with the Touch Mode as the files included haven't been altered by the Touch mode though some options might not be available as Touch Mode doesn't support all the same data as the Full Mode.

In addition for those of you who prefer the Steam Workshop, Workshop versions of the mod will be uploaded for each of the Base Skins in the coming days.

Finally like always the mod makes no changes outside of the Match Screens and thus is identical in appearance the Default Skin elsewhere.
