    every year we got almost the same football manager game, but with a little improvements, not smthing big, game changing, just little improvements, some cosmetic things some gameplay upgrades and thats all. game is not changing much but it still good to have some manager experience, but not for very long cuz at some time it starts to be boring

    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 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.

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

    At its core, a great and fun game. But that was also in 2022, where the feeling that it made sense to not only pay full price for a new game, but to spend a lot of time in it, still prevailed. [Issue#323]

    "A spreadsheet with soccer players," a friend once called Football Manager. He was right, but it is a damned addictive Excel file: in the meantime, we have invested another fifty hours or so in making our local team virtual champions. If you ask us, Football Manager would be better off switching to a subscription formula, but okay: for about fifty euros you get a whole year of spreadsheet fun.

    Even though it only brings a few new features, making it very similar to the last game, Football Manager 2023 is still the best football management game that delivers the best experience.
