    This game is great and really got my interest back into football manager. As 2009 came out I went and bought it on the day of release to be bitterly disappointed and it really did make me think twice about buying any future releases if they were gonna be similar. After installing this and playing 8 seasons so far with Leeds united i can well and truly say that this game is Brilliant!!! This game is great and really got my interest back into football manager.

    Fantastic game. It's the only one from the series where I've managed to last more than 2 seasons. I'm in the season 2016/2017 with Lazio at the moment and I am still loving it. Well done to the creators for making such a fantastic football management simulator.

    There are those who say I shouldn't be reviewing this.. I don't like football and never have but one thing I can give you is an outsiders perspective.... I was handling all the stats trying to get things ready and then expecting to be able to watch a match and guide from the sides... what do I get? The kind of visuals expect from the old spectrum version of football manager. I am notThere are those who say I shouldn't be reviewing this..

I'd rather play brothel manager or cleanup manager.… Expand

    For many years I have being playing the game series (since championship manager 97/98). I would say that whoever played the FM09 version will be a little disappointed with the 2010 edition. Just because the 3D engine... on FM10 I was expecting a much more better job on the game 3D engine. Looks more unrealistic than the 09 game. However the crowed it's a good improvement and addition For many years I have being playing the game series (since championship manager 97/98).

    Quite the disappointment for me. still no way to communicate with coaches "cry", Ive experienced several bugs who toss me out of my game. Long games in lower Leagues gives worse players then it was. Noone is filling in the shoes of the good old players in for example Norway - Sweden -Denmark. Positive marks: the transfer market is better then ever, price calculations is rather nice.

Positive marks: the transfer market is better then ever, price calculations is rather nice. tactic screen is overall good. and the coaches advices normally gives a good outcome.. "perhaps to good" overall. miss some from the older versions, tho its a decent game. looking forward to 2011 for improvements.… Expand

    Despite some too difficult passages, Football Manager 2010 has a lot of new features to offer, solid bases and tons of hours of fun.

    Football Manager returns with further improvements. The new version allows us to maintain better control of our team during games, and also increase the quality of 3D visualization. FM 2010 goes deeper in the interaction with our players, media and the coaching staff, creating a great gaming experience with its fantastic artificial intelligence. Year after year, the series takes hold their place in the genre, adding new capabilities without sacrificing any of the features seen in previous versions. This sports title keeps on top of its genre, setting a benchmark for every football management simulator.

    In short FM2010 isn’t an evolutionary step in the series. Instead it’s merely an incredibly well produced update.
