   Absolutely not a game for everyone, but if this game checks the boxes for you, buckle up because you’ll spend a ton of time with it. I amAbsolutely not a game for everyone, but if this game checks the boxes for you, buckle up because you’ll spend a ton of time with it. I am coming from Football Manager Mobile, which I have spent many years with. Finally decided to go into the full game, and it’s intense. The amount of depth and control that you have over your team is not comparable to any other game. There isn’t much to say about this game, as it is exactly what it sets out to be. This is not a casual game by any means, you either go in loving it or it’s too overwhelming. I personally prefer Football Manager Mobile because it’s a little more streamlined. It gets you into the matches quicker while sacrificing the amount of control you have.
   
   The biggest issue I have with this game is that it’s such a slow burn. I completely expected this going into it, but the amount of control of the smallest details of your team consumes so much time in between matches that you don’t experience the matches and forward momentum nearly as much as you do in the Mobile games. The first preseason setup took about three hours before I got to see my first non-friendly match. It’s a great game, but unfortunately you cannot play any other games while you juggle this one in to your rotation. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending on what type of player you are. I just feel that it’s almost a bit too much of a commitment. Regardless, it’s a fantastic game that I know I’ll return to over the next few years. There is no need to buy the new game each year, so I have plenty of time left with this game.… Expand

My biggest gripe with the series is that it is released every single year as a new game with a AAA price tag. Do the annual upgrades or additions justify a AAA price tag of a new game? Not even remotely. This, alone, is so low, obnoxious, unethical, lazy, and predatory that it deserves a hundred thousand downvotes.
   
   Other cons for the game include bad optimization or lack of responsiveness, regular loading times that definitely could've been eliminated or at least shortened with smarter code, outdated graphics, horrendous animations, and an obvious lack of user-friendliness in the UI design, like too many clicks to achieve things that could've been achieved with half the clicks if the developing company stops being greedy and hires competitive UI, UX, and user-friendly design experts to help design the interface and the whole game.
   
   The main reason for the ratings being generally positive on Steam is the addictive nature of the game for some players, which makes those poor addicts keep buying the game for full price annually instead of demanding these crumbs of improvements as DLCs or expansions. The second reason is the players who try the game for the first time and give it a thumbs up; those are justified in their rating sometimes, but I hope that they change their rating once they realize that there are zero expansions, and next year's release shows up with the predatory price tag that hits them in the face and wakes them up from the addictive stupor. Oh, but even then, it could be too late to raise awareness about this scheme, because the developer asks Steam to hide the older Football Manager games from searches and only show the current year's release with every new release. You know, just in case you had any suspicions about their predatory policies.
   
   If you are a diehard fan of soccer or football itself and its players, which is one of the main reasons you would play this game, then I don't think I can benefit you beyond what I wrote above plus adding that you may want to buy an older key for the cheapest price possible or try the game as part of a game pass to which you subscribe for [other] reasons. Football Manager 2022, for example, would allow you to experience everything worth experiencing in this series without paying the highest price for the current year's release. However, if you like these types of games generally, my strong advice instead is to try, put your money in, and play Cities: Skylines. It is an even deeper strategy game with [actual] graphics and from a much more ethical developer.… Expand

   The worst match engine in the series to date.
   
   The Match Engine team within SI need a refresh as clearly the leadership arent cut out for this.

   Literally same copy paste /cash grab/ database update to day we getting in the last 6,7 years for the full price .
   Seems they literally abandoned this game in the last 5-7 years , and now only milking the fanbase, not even trying anymore.
   Ho played FM in the last 5,6 years already played this game to.
   So dont bother anymore , save urselft the few hundred hours u need to put in this game.
   Literally nothing new only some v small cosmetic U.I tweaks and minor changes that doesnt add anything good to the game .
   Btw . that 3D engine has worse graphics then FIFA 2005 and beside that player movement are so clunky and feel so unrealistic , that u getting the feeling u withness , train a robots AI team.
   Im done with this company they dont care at all about this game,
   they only milking they fanbase to expand theyr company in the last 5,7 years.… Expand
