So you all have likely seen my rating for FM21 and it was a B+ on the match engine. But, I think there is a significant talking point in how the strategy of the game has otherwise really not changed. There is a reason Football Manager 21 feels so familiar, because the core strategy of the game outside of the match engine is very, very similar. It’s a trend that carries over from last year’s game with the Development Center, a feature that reorganizes information in a better way, but the new features don’t add to it.
I still think this is a good Football Manager edition with the massive improvements to the match engine. I just always want to strive to help the game and create awareness about what makes a game like FM successful every year. I used to buy the game once every three years because the strategy of the game didn’t change enough from year to year. If SI can make one or two big strategy improvements to Football Manager every year then I think this game will be unstoppable. Nice.
Much Love,
FM Senpai
