    Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is a fantastic option for the most conscientious football fans. Despite the absence of some features, its only big problem is its poor playability with a controller.

    Football Manager on Xbox is an acceptable alternative if we are reluctant to use our PC as a platform to play. However, control lapses, hindering the experience and making it less enjoyable. The hours of browsing through the menus that we loved become a process that we try to avoid as much as possible.

    It may not be perfect, with a control scheme that’s functional but still a little too clunky, and it’s almost impossible to recommend to anyone who owns a capable PC. However, if you only own an Xbox, all of the main features are there, the match engine is better than ever and it’s a great title to dip in and out of for 30 minutes at a time.

Whilst this is paired back from the full PC version it has most of the component parts and in some ways is as comprehensive as you want to make it.

    The microtransactions are not thrown at you and are entirely optional.

    The biggest drawback is the control system which in the beginning (and still after multiple hours of play) isn't especially intuitive and it takes a long time for muscle memory to develop.

    There is nothing quite like finding hidden gems and moving from non-league to the Champions League. If you don't have access to a PC then this is a decent simplified alternative that still grabs you and doesn't let go!
