Jacobson said they were "able to do things with these players that we can't with real players, because they can't sue us". Without them, the simulation could not progress - as it does - into the next century and beyond. Those who know their Football Manager call these fictional players 'newgens'. Instead it's the fictional, computer-generated youngsters who appear as others retire, refreshing the game's database at the end of each virtual season. We're not talking about real-life players. So how does it work? A BBC survey found 82% would have no issue with a gay player, but 8% said they would stop watching their team. "I just think it's crazy that in 2017 we are in a world where people can't be themselves." "I find it weird that it's still a problem in football so we decided to try and show people that coming out isn't a big deal and can be a positive thing. "We know from the amount of professionals that there has to be players who are gay but feel they don't want to come out. "Part of the reason we decided to do this is because there are gay footballers," Miles Jacobson, the game's director, told BBC Sport.
