    Football Manager 2011 is a complete triumph, and as satisfying as a last minute winner in the local derby.

    Despite the changes to the UI introduced by the past year episode, Football Manager 2011 remains one of the most complex game on the market, with an infinite number of different possibilities, options and hundreds of hours of gameplay. A must buy for any football fan.

    Football Manager 2011 is probably the best episode of the series: if you are looking for a complex, easy to play, deep, modern, excellent football manager, you have found it. No contenders, one king.

    Still brilliantly addictive for the hardcore, but a few niggles stop it being champion. [Jan 2011, p.87]

    A revised training system and new features such as the set-piece creation suite make this the most well-rounded and complete version of Football Manager to date.

    Football Manager requires a certain level of commitment. If you can make that commitment, I can see that there's a rewarding experience to be had but I don't think I can do it. Almost two decades after I started playing, I'm more comfortable with Fifa and with the lighter iPhone version of Football Manager. But a whole new generation of students are about to get their minds blown.

    For every year, Football Manager is more about statistics and less about football. The hyper realism hurts the game more than it makes it anjoyable, but it is still by far the best in this genre.

    It is 2022 and this remains the best game I have and will ever play. Yes it has it's minor flaws but it is the only game I could play foreverIt is 2022 and this remains the best game I have and will ever play. Yes it has it's minor flaws but it is the only game I could play forever if I had to. Has kept me entertained for thousands of hours and will continue for years to come despite new releases. It takes maybe the first 500 hours to really understand what it takes to be good at the game but I promise you when you find the perfect system it is a beautiful thing.… Expand

    Improved compared to previous Football Managers. The game is really great and enjoyable. Highly addicting. I spend many hours playing thisImproved compared to previous Football Managers. The game is really great and enjoyable. Highly addicting. I spend many hours playing this game and I'm still not bored of it. Pretty realistic, although the game may crash sometimes and there are few bugs, though I believe they will be sooner or later most fixed in patches. Many tactical options to choose from, many teams to play as. It's so different to play as a team from lower division from a poor country, than playing as a top premier league team, yet it's never boring, it's always fun. Summary.

    Pros:
    -Realistic.
    -Just what you need if you're a football fan.

    Cons:
    -If you never played it, maybe difficult for you at first.
    -Highly addictive!
    -Some bugs.    … Expand

    Definitely the best version of the game so far and it is head and shoulders above any other football management game. The match engine hasDefinitely the best version of the game so far and it is head and shoulders above any other football management game. The match engine has dramatically improved both graphically and in actual game play however there are still some problems that need to be eliminated. The scouting system still seems to work on players overall reputation and ability rather than the players you need to fit into your team and the training system still does not seem to have the impact it should on players. The worst aspect of the game is the media area and in particular press conferences, with too much repeatability of questions without it seeming to make any difference to the game.… Expand

A revamped contract system addsFootball Manager 2011 provides a large database, tons of stats, and lots of variety when it comes to tactics. A revamped contract system adds even more depth to this classic series. However, the media interactions as well as the player talks should be considered for what they are, trash. The match engine is poor, but not the main issue. What it comes down to is that this game turns out to be more like work than real entertainment.… Expand
