Football Manager 2021 Review - The Final Verdict

All of which is to say, Football Manager 2021 is perhaps one of the best games in the series in a long time. It strikes the balance between accessibility and mind-boggling complexity better than the series ever has, the quality of life improvements it makes mostly work out very well, and the more noticeable improvements – such as the enhanced interactions and the improved match engine – are important step ups from previous games in the series.

Once again, Sports Interactive have delivered a game that countless will happily be pouring hundreds of hours of their lives into.

Press conferences and player interactions are the most annoying things in FM

[doctorcrankyflaps]

I played 16, 000 hours of FM 2015. I hate myself.

[nikos]

My suggestion. buy football manager every 3 years.

[Tangeni.]

What I love about Football Manager is that it is very detailed and it let's you take a lot of control over your club and it let's you feel like a real manager, it's a nice game that I truly love more and more each year.

I used to play it since 2005, and I played 2020 after long time and still it has the same mechanics! which are, u need to have correct answers in press conference, always ask assistance for instructions, correct instructions while watching key match highlight means a goal always. I win every game with goal difference that at least 4/ Also there are are known dates each month for a player to gain or lose attributes! so make sure he has great form before that so he can improve! mentality also can be improved by being discipline with the players especially when they play badly use as a chance and sub him to improve his determination and discipline after the game

[almerakbar]

Yes, the sports equivalent of a Paradox game

[wiseguy]

If you're a hardcore FM player, FM 2021 is the best the game has been in years.

[lukebigmore]

Press conferences are not dull and repetitive in real life?

[currychips]

I'll stick with Champ Man 0102, thanks.

[MINIMELVIN]

Not a fan of the recent football manager games to be honest. These games are meant to be fun, yet having runs with wildly higher Xg than your opponents whilst dropping points all over the place is infuriating. Hope a competitor comes along soon, sports interactive need the competition.

I tried the demo of this and it felt like it was a job rather than a game. I spent much of my time doing admin.

[p-illasando]

Is football manager suitable for Apple iMac ?

[TevyaSmolka]

Sounds interesting but honestly I am going to stick to my action games.

[m.thorton]

ah... FM, my favorite RPG after Crusader Kings

[allenqueen]

I have never played a FM game, so would this be a good place to start, or should I start from FM Touch?

[---DW---]

This game is not very realistic...Martial actually scored a goal.

[razrsliq]

if this comes out on ps4 and ps5, EA SPORTS FIFA will lose lots of career mode fans.

The game was better, when it was called Championship Manager.

[chucks]

I lost my long term girlfriend because of fm15, its safe to say I'm still single in 2021.. Screw you fm

[Bowling_Dude]

I know 0 about Soccer but still enjoy the game
