I view the Football Manager games as a collective entity, so this review applies to the entire franchise rather than just FM20.
Football Manager is a game I revisit almost every year, although I don't invest as much time in it as I did when I was younger. Typically, after a single season (sometimes even less), I find myself losing motivation to continue. In the past, I would spend countless hours and seasons playing, setting personal challenges such as leading a team to glory or transforming a lower-tier team into a powerhouse. While my playtime has decreased over time, I still hold a deep appreciation for this game. The first of its kind that I ever played was Player Manager 98/99 (playing with Benfica) on the PlayStation 1, followed by Championship Manager 2001/2002 (playing with Manchester United) on PC some years later. Those titles, during their era, were truly remarkable and kept me hooked for countless hours. In Football Manager, I have played with a variety of teams, but my go-to choices have often been Real Madrid and, in recent years, Benfica. However, I've also enjoyed managing teams like Inter, Monza, Pinhalnovense, Portugal, Costa Rica, Porto, Derby County, and many more that I can't recall at the moment. Exploring different clubs and national teams (both high-end and low-end) adds to the diversity and excitement of the game.
