    Futebol Manager is a classic that emerged from Elifoot, a basic game, simple, but very fun. FM is too overloaded with unnecessary information and details.

    I played every single game of the series since i remeber, and this is prolly the first time i am dissapointed. I let the game set on mostly default and started to looking after improvements. To my suprise all of the improvements were so minor, that i could barely even say if those chagned anything.

I let the game set on mostly default and started to looking after improvements. To my suprise all of the improvements were so minor, that i could barely even say if those chagned anything. In looking to besten the info feedback player is now bombarded with tousands of unimportant massages. Scouting is mostly lacking, like in the last title. The new Data submenu seems to just colletc the data from everyelse into one spot... which is kinda usefull but not really helpfull as expected. I have the feeling that geenpressing is still op tactic to anyone and every team, in opposite to the tiki-taka or possesion setups, which needs a lot of tweaking to work. Transfers are just unrealistic like in previous titles. I kept getting bids for 0zł in my Pogoń team for my youngster, while i needed to bet a large ammount of money for simply any player. Same issue with free transfers - players without a club are asking for a lot of money, yet thay barely played in last seasons, and player has zero to none negotiation capability. Press conferences or players talks are once again just useless part of the game, where you can simply go whole season clicking second option from the left nad barely ever something bad happens. To the engine, i feel that this side works this time slightly better for me and matches are now kinda competetive. Still getting stupid match ups with 1 to 30 and 1-2 or 1-1 scorelines.

    I mean end of the day game is not terrible. Its still good old football manager in some spaces best menagerial game there is. As an old fan i will play it anyway. Though to be fair i can only give it solid 7.    … Expand

    The game could have been so good, because it has the fundamentals right. Alas it's so buggy to the degree of ridicule. I cannot believe SI with the backing from SEGA as publisher cannot do proper beta testing. I've only played two seasons so far and have already encountered around 15 bugs!!!
    And so despite some fun elements - the game is a failure in my book. 5/10.

    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.
