Das beste Football Manager was je rausgekommen ist. Das Spiel, mit seinem realistischen Ansatz, macht einfach süchtig und lässt die Zeit wie Im Fluge verstreichen.

Runs better than any other fm, so worth a pickup for that alone. Generally an average game though. Series in desperate need for refreshment.

Just won the Bundesliga and reus retired
I'm crying rn

sigue siendo el mismo juego pero con algunos retoques, creo sinceramente que te renta dos cosas:
- esperar casi hasta que vayan a sacar el siguente para que amazon regale el juego y echarle 1000 horas.
- esperar cada 2 años para comprartelo.
El juego malo no es, pero para lo poco que le meten no te renta comprarlo anualmente, lo bueno es que reservarlo te dan una mini rebaja y en keys suele bajar el precio tambien, pero eso, es un simulador de excel pero con futbol, el sueño para la gente que les guste los juegos de gestión pero puedes tener a cristiano ronaldo

The same fundamental issues that have plagued the game ever since i started playing are still present here. There is very little if at all any improvement outside of the match engine and a surprising amount of bugs.
The Match Engine is fun though and has gotten much better in this and the last years version. Nonetheless it is quite frustrating to face the same issues every year, that make the game far too easy and predictable for the human player over the long term.

This will likely be by far my least played Football Manager ever since i got addicted 13 years ago, as i had a nice, satisfying bunch of saves in 2023 and am now looking forward to seeing their first game made in Unity.

I also wouldnt recommend this game for a newbie. The game is so cluttered, the menus so unintuitive and there is so much unneccessary stuff thats thrown at you, that a new player, if he cares about understanding the game will likely need 5 hours of setting his team up before even reaching match day 1.
Me personally, i, by now, holiday 60% of the season, from match day to match day, to emulate the feeling of having a reasonably paced football manager sim that doesnt bother with incessant spam in my mail ordner, for things that could be much more eleganty handled without reducing the complexity of the simulation.

Because of these complaints, and because i expected the last iteration of this generations engine to be a polished masterpiece version, i only give 3.5 stars.
Normally each of these games deserves at least 4 stars, as the scope, realism and dynamic quality of the huge database and the beautiful match engine, that even if it fails in many ways to copy real football, gets so much closer than anything else that has ever tried, make a deep engagement with the game worth hundreds of hours that will create memories that will burn themselves into your mind. And a lot of the hate the community gives to the developers is unwarranted and based on ignorance (It's always the games fault!)
But yeah, i had hoped for a better good-bye.

Time to waste another 500 hours
