    Football Manager 23 brings the iconic football sim to PS5 with all the engrossing charm and immersive obsession that made it such a hit elsewhere. It’s a lot to take in, but it’s absolutely worth the time sink for wannabe managers.

    Don't purchase this on console. It's a limited version of the PC game. Many options aren't in the game.

Having played previously on computer, I would not recommend the PS5/console/Switch version as you are missing loads of features - there's a lot of choices you don't get to make. Ultimately it feels too easy or too simplified.

    Missing features include
    - player management (securing player satisfaction) and any type of dialouge including with agents to see if there's e.g. transfer interest. I haven't really had to struggle with keeping benched players happy like you would in actual football management or in the original game.
    - Staffing is highly limited. You have 5 roles in staff: Yourself, assistant manager, DoF, Chief Scout and Head Fysio. There's NO coaches which is huge part of the normal game.
    - Scouting works in a weird way that I haven't yet figured out and you cannot prioritize scouting order of players.
    - Training is really simplified (as there's no coaches).
    - Obviously the controls are not nearly as smooth as with a mouse and keyboard but you can manage after a while.
    - Probably loads more.    … Full Review »
