    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, 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 easierFootball Manager is Football Manager - always brilliant.

    I think the Nintendo Switch is a very viable platform for Football Manager. 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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    As someone who’s always loved building teams in other sports games, it was pretty fun to have so much control over your destiny here. Even more importantly, watching the games play out on the field was pretty enjoyable here. I wouldn’t say that Football Manager Touch 2018 is about to challenge FIFA or anything in the looks department, but it’s still pleasant to look at.

    Football Manager Touch 2018 on Nintendo Switch is a great surprise and offers a great compromise between the depth and the complexity of the desktop version, and the need to have a quick and satisfying experience, suitable for mobility. Sports Interactive and Hardlight achieved a great result in adapting the control system using the full input potential of Nintendo Switch.

    With less content and some missing features, Football Manager Touch 2018 on Switch is still an excellent game and an excellent way to discover the license.
