Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A deep, endlessly replayable football management sim, but largely a yearly update of the previous edition with a match engine many call scripted. Skip it if you own FM21 or dislike admin-heavy play.
Great for
Football fans who want deep, long-term management saves and happily sink hundreds of hours
Main risk
Feels like a reskinned FM21 with a match engine that seems scripted and ignores tactics
