    This is the first Football Manager I’ve bought in 4 years (due to the fact that there is not enough changes every year) and I’ve had a great experience with it.

    The amount of control I have over my team is great and the game looks better than ever before. And due to the depth of this game I can get lost in it for hours, days, months and even years.

    The amount of control I have over my team is great and the game looks better than ever before. And due to the depth of this game I can get lost in it for hours, days, months and even years. This game offers a lot of content and different challenges that keeps me going for ages.

    But there are still some problems in the game that has been in the series for a long time. A lot of the problems that are the most annoying according to me are those that arise in saves that you have been playing for a long time. For example that the game almost never creates big upsets or changes in the footballing world. The teams in the Champions league are almost all the same year after year. The top teams in the biggest division are almost all the same too. The only chance for something new and exciting to happen is for you to control a team and make history yourself.

    And there are a lot of other problems such as the game becoming very slow after a few years and other problems that arise in long saves. Bur the developers will probably never fix these due to the fact that they want to you buy a new game every year and making the game last longer is not something that's in their interests. But the game is still amazing and offers a lot of content and enjoyment and is well deserved of a high score.    … Expand

    They finally steped up and changed their game.
    I think they could have done way more, at least in the team instructions department, but its really good.
    They included dynamincs which helps you make captain decisions and who to actually sell for the squad harmony to remain as intact as possible Liked some of the new roles they added, specially the inverted wingers which is something i    They finally steped up and changed their game.

    Liked some of the new roles they added, specially the inverted wingers which is something i told myself about since Football manager 2015
    And also liked the new Briefing mode before the games, it is a load of help and helps you tell the team or each player what you want from them that exact match    … Expand

    Probably one of the best football manager games on the market or at least the best you can find. football manager is a long date brand game about football. A complex and deep gameplay will challenge you to led a team to tjhe victory. Personally I would just improve the info layout shown on screen. Sometimes also the AI during the match is not the best.

    I’m delighted that after so many years the developers managed to find a room for improvements that enrich the experience in such meaningful and impactful ways and got another inch closer to blurring the line between Football Manager and reality. It’s hard to believe, but the game is even better than it was. [01/2018, p.66]

    Football Manager 2018 builds a virtual world which can rival the real one, by using huge and complex database. Many new features in 2018 were designed just to let players experience a more and more realistic manager career.

    Progress? Sure. Nothing incredibly dramatic to move the football game world, but as you once jump into a new year, you will not return back to the previous one voluntarily.
