    Football manager used to be a great game. I have played Championship manager since "93", but the last 3 editions have been poor on what really matters....the difficulty. Despite vast improvements in transfers, the graphics etc etc, the ease level is so abusively easy, I don't bother playing anymore.

    For example, I'll use my Corboa save so you can see what I mean. Won the third tier    Football manager used to be a great game. I have played Championship manager since "93", but the last 3 editions have been poor on what really matters....the difficulty. Despite vast improvements in transfers, the graphics etc etc, the ease level is so abusively easy, I don't bother playing anymore.

    For example, I'll use my Corboa save so you can see what I mean. Won the third tier without dropping a point. Then won the segunda title by 12pts (at least i lost a few games). Then 4th in la liga and won the copa del rey. Then champions the next season, including beating barca 6-0 away (would never happen!) and got the to the copa del rey final and lost - I almost wanted to lose. After winning la liga again the next season with an average squad age of 21 I quit as I was bored.

    Another example.....I got Norwich promoted (unbeaten), then finished 4th in the prem, then finsihed 3rd but won the league cup. The next season came 2nd, but won the FA Cup and Champions league. I then won every trophy available the next season from everything from the community shield, super cup through to the prem and champions league (7 in total). I'm not writing this to brag - its not fun!!

    It just to be a challenge. This is absurd and after buying FM22 it seems its the same level of difficulty - a 6 year old could tear this up. Loads of Youtubers criticised the ease last year and they have done the same again. I won't be buying future editions until I see that is has been made a little more challenging.

    I remember one game in my Norwich game that summed this up. Playing away at Man city in the FA cup quarter-final, 2-0 down after 60 mins and I still thought we would win - It was 3-2. I started to-realise I wanted to lose games and thus quit the game at the end of the season.    … Expand

    Just so much stuff that wastes your time. My team are annoying. The media is annoying. Other than managing your team and playing football, everything else is annoying. Waste of money at full price.

    I absolutly dispise team meetings. DISPISE THEM. WHAT IDIOT PROGRAMMED THE INTERACTIONS!?

    A small amount of significant new features is compensated by its impact on the overall experience for all types of players, complemented by a traditional set of improvements in UI and UX (especially when it comes to clarity).

    Football Manager is definitely showing signs of improvement and it is obvious that the development team is paying attention to the suggestions from the fans. No major objections here, and I hope that the sequel will be an even better game, because this franchise really has immense potential.

    Another year, another few steps in the right direction - but very tiny steps indeed. The promised match engine upgrade doesn’t add up to much and the rest of the innovations will be appreciated only by the most faithful and experienced football coaches.
