The main reason for the ratings being generally positive on Steam is the addictive nature of the game for some players, which makes those poor addicts keep buying the game for full price annually instead of demanding these crumbs of improvements as DLCs or expansions. Other cons for the game include bad optimization or lack of responsiveness, regular loading times that definitely could've been eliminated or at least shortened with smarter code, outdated graphics, horrendous animations, and an obvious lack of user-friendliness in the UI design, like too many clicks to achieve things that could've been achieved with half the clicks if the developing company stops being greedy and hires competitive UI, UX, and user-friendly design experts to help design the interface and the whole game. This, alone, is so low, obnoxious, unethical, lazy, and predatory that it deserves a hundred thousand downvotes. Do the annual upgrades or additions justify a AAA price tag of a new game? Not even remotely. My biggest gripe with the series is that it is released every single year as a new game with a AAA price tag. The Football Manager series has lots of pros, like some depth and tons of replayablility, but its cons are obnoxious enough to merit a downvote as far as I'm concerned. There is no need to buy the new game each year, so I have plenty of time left with this game. Regardless, it’s a fantastic game that I know I’ll return to over the next few years. I just feel that it’s almost a bit too much of a commitment. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending on what type of player you are. It’s a great game, but unfortunately you cannot play any other games while you juggle this one in to your rotation. The first preseason setup took about three hours before I got to see my first non-friendly match. I completely expected this going into it, but the amount of control of the smallest details of your team consumes so much time in between matches that you don’t experience the matches and forward momentum nearly as much as you do in the Mobile games. The biggest issue I have with this game is that it’s such a slow burn. It gets you into the matches quicker while sacrificing the amount of control you have. ![]() I personally prefer Football Manager Mobile because it’s a little more streamlined. ![]() This is not a casual game by any means, you either go in loving it or it’s too overwhelming. There isn’t much to say about this game, as it is exactly what it sets out to be. The amount of depth and control that you have over your team is not comparable to any other game. Finally decided to go into the full game, and it’s intense. I am coming from Football Manager Mobile, which I have spent many years with. He's been gaming since the Atari 2600 days and still struggles to comprehend the fact he can play console quality titles on his pocket computer.Absolutely not a game for everyone, but if this game checks the boxes for you, buckle up because you’ll spend a ton of time with it.
