    This game was clearly designed for a mouse interface, and the options here leave a lot to be desired. And while the depth on offer here can be staggering at times, someone who’s really looking for this kind of experience will be disappointed by the features from the PC original that this lacks. Those who get past that will find a very competent sports sim here.

    Great management game, full of possibilities and options. However, has improvable touch screen control and isn't the best option to play in dock mode.

    Football Manager has always been for a specific type of person, and one who enjoys a blurring of the lines between legitimate work, and entertainment. Football Manager 2018 Touch brings that effectively enough to the Nintendo Switch, and while it's not a game that's going to turn too many heads or win awards, anyone who likes their really cerebral experiences will love spending hours trying to eke the most out of the favourite football team.

    There’s some cons in this version of Football Manager Touch 2018 for Nintendo Switch. The main ones are probably the inaccurate touch screen control and the lack of team licenses. However, the management style is quite good and unprecedented in our favorite hybrid console.

    Despite the positives, my lasting impression of FMT 2018 is of a rich, complex game that is utterly crippled by the user experience.

    It is not easy to control at all. Many time I also find the words too small to read in handheld mode. This game still fits PC the best.

I mean, it already works on a tablet - problem is, the Switch is more than a mere tablet and this game fails to take that into account. For instance, playing in Docked mode is a huge burden, for the game does not take into account two things: first, the fact the Joy-Con can be adapted to work like a mouse and make moving much faster (you are forced to navigate with the analog pads); second, the game could make use of a higher resolution when in Docked mode (and, just like the PC version, adapt the screen to show more things).

    This makes Portable mode the only enjoyable way to play this game... which kind of contradicts with the idea of the Switch. Apart from that (and the inability to use mods) it's a well-made port. It just needs to make better use of the platform.    … Full Review »

    Football Manager is Football Manager - always brilliant. However it is not designed to be played on a switch. I can't fault SI for this, theFootball Manager is Football Manager - always brilliant. However it is not designed to be played on a switch. I can't fault SI for this, the UI will always be infinitely easier to navigate with a mouse and keyboard. If getting the game on the switch is your only option I would recommend investing, however, the portability of this version doesn't come close to outweighing how much easier the game is to play on PC.… Full Review »
