What we’re all looking for in a game of Football Manager is that almost intangible ‘just one more game’ addiction, that feeling that you need just one more game. It’s the X-factor that separates Football Manager from the rest and the good news is that this version still has it. Sure, it’s a deep and complicated beast and occasionally it’s impossible to not feel powerless when things aren’t going your way, but that happens to managers all over the world in real life too, and that’s the point. Football Manager’s relentless strive for realism is sometimes its biggest fault, but with new modes and now new ways of playing it’s also managed to get that light touch back.
