I've always been fascinated by this mobile game as an antithesis to Football Manager. FM is about details, tactics, morale, et al and you grow connections and the like. It can still seem cold and sterile but it really isn't.
FC, umm, isn't that. It does scratch the one more turn impulse but at its escalated pace (you really can complete whole seasons in minutes), the players and the manager are reduced to their overall grade and the "What have you done for me lately?" nature of modern soccer. And I guess it kind of nails the more inhuman nature of being the chairman where money and winning are all that matters. As a time waster, it isn't bad. Probably too much RNG and no real way to enact the detailed approaches of FM unfortunately but there is a Skinner box level of satisfaction when your team earns promotion at the last day of the season.
