The game also relies far less on pure player skill alone, and a less talented player might be your best choice as long as it’s someone who keeps his cool under pressure and functions well within a team – allowing you to save up some money for the big striker purchase in the process. While that version felt like a “one size fits all” solution once you had assembled a strong enough team, picking the right tactics on a team or even player level is much more important now. Although it’s added a 3D match interface over the year, innovation for Football Manager had to come from somewhere else, since it’s essentially a game that bases itself on stats and your ability to interpret and predict them.Īnd although training, scouting and arranging transfers are a big part of things, it’s ultimately the mechanics of a match day that matter most – and this is where the franchise has made its biggest strides since the early days, and has refined itself since last year. To put things in perspective, Championship Manager came out when Kick Off 2 and Sensible Soccer reigned supreme for your on the pitch action, and look at where we are now in terms of graphical fidelity and gameplay in football games.
The franchise left those origins years ago and is a SEGA brand now, and although that will probably always feel a little weird to me it’s still very much close to its roots, despite the name change. The Football Manager series certainly takes me back, all the way to my Atari ST days where it was known as Championship Manager and was published by Domark – which later turned into Eidos and ultimately Square Enix.
