Not saying this is a bad game not at all. I have played football manager since 2012 and know the game in and out. Now this is the most fun football manager. But is the most fake as in a season only having one 0-0 game where I play defence with counter attack still does make for an interesting season. Having 127 goals and 58 conceded is interesting to watch as well do not get me wrong. But this is the most unrealistic football manager they have put out. Its a joke how many goals go in and how much is just plain unrealistic. Example first game in the Prem just got Middlesbrough promoted playing against Liverpool games ends 8-6 .... 8-6 !!! How does that happen? If you want an unreal intense football manager where it is all GOALS GOALS GOALS then this is for you if you want a football manager go and play the last year and just download a MOD that updates teams for you because this is not a football manager.
Pros –
- A lot of goals
- Never a dull game
- More in-depth communication with player and staff
- In match team talks
- Better transfer and overall balancing
- Always fun most game end with a min of 3 goals
- MORE GOALS GOALS !!! GOALS FOR EVERY ONE
- Being able to speak to a player who does not want to come instead of being blocked by agent gives more scope to get players out of your range
Cons –
- Very unrealistic
- Random injurie spells (not always but can end up having 9 players out for 3 weeks after 2 games and two weeks of training) So always save and quit when this starts as when it does the injuries will not stop until you cannot field a team
- No matter strategy you will score a lot and concede a lot
- Could still have more depth, I still think it has got too streamlined from 2012
- Players seems to get very unhappy fast and all seem to being a stubborn as a mule unless you use the talk ( X player is having good form) no matter the form they seem to agree with you
- Having a one 0-0 in a hole season and 3 strikers with more than 20 goals and top 6 goals scores in the league all having more the 30 goals kind of makes it seem very unrealistic
- German league rights have gone and still no badges for most top flights teams ( MODS do fix both mind)


Overall
For people wanting fun 7/10
People wanting a football manager 3/10
