    Still addictive as ever, but some of the new features don't seem so convincing.

    It's an improvement over Football Manager 2020, but even so, it might be difficult to justify an upgrade to Football Manager 2021 except for dedicated fans who are willing to shell out, even if it only means minor additions and upgrades in the grand scope of the franchise.

Maybe game engine has been improved but so far I still see almost as many bugs as it was last year in January, so waiting for last patch again I guess...
