This is an excellent football manager game. If you like manager games, and think the FM series is too cumbersome, this is a game well worth checking out. It plays much faster and you don't need to go through a million spreadsheets just to advance ingame time.

The official database and portrait packs in the Workshop are easy to install and make the game so much better. You also have a player editor ingame, so if you have a generic named youth player, you can edit him/her to your heart's content. The AI generated picture, which ages accordingly, is one of the best features in games ever imho. You also have an option to play with family mode, which means you can add your own spouse and children, which you have to spend time with during your campaign. This is optional but also nice feature.

Another great feature is being able to expand your stadium and club grounds. You can then fly over it and see your accomplishments. You can also take a tour through your club's museum, if you have built one. All additions to your stadium are also seen in the ingame match engine and look great.

You have complete control over sponsors, the aforementioned stadium improvements, training camp locations and more. Although if you don't want to do it yourself, you can also delegate it to one of your assistents. You are free to select formations, and even drag and drop players to certain field locations should you want to customise the standard formations. You can also hire department heads and even offer players to other clubs.

Players have star ratings and also prospect ratings so that you can see if a player is exceptionally gifted. Pre-match tactics can be issued before any match and you can also do halftime talks and give players bonuses and incentives to play better in crucial matches. The match highlights look simple, don't expect FIFA24 graphics, but have a great charm and work well.

The game plays better than the FM series imho and you should really give it a shot. There is much more to tell but you just have to experience it, I, for one, am loving every minute of it.

I like the Game, BUT it would be a fantastic Game if qualifiers, and EM/ WM would be integrated into Career mode and not seperate like now.
