Football Manager 2015

Football Manager is not just a football game, it’s a football simulation. ...So much so that you feel it’s not really your game of Football Manager, you’re merely playing a role in its grand simulation of one possible universe of football in an infinite number of universes of football, each one starting when you click the “New Game” button.

Football Manager 2015 is the most detailed and complex Football Manager yet. There are some really minor niggles in the UI and game design, but if you have enough patience and love for football, you will quickly breeze right by them. Football Manager 2015 is a must-have title for veterans and newcomers alike who wish to try their hand at leading their favorite clubs to the plateaus of victory.

Football Manager 15 is still a good game, especially when played on classic, and you won’t go far wrong if this is your first game in the series. But for existing fans there aren’t a lot of compelling reasons to upgrade from last year’s edition, unless you’re really nostalgic for the Graham Taylor approach to football. Of course it’s entirely possible the traditional mid-season patch will change the tone of the match engine completely, at which point I’d heartily recommend it.
