The Football Manager series just goes from strength to strength. This is superb, sublime, and irresistible. It’s not a game you play, it’s a game you live.

The improvements are a hugely positive step in making the Football Manager series the most realistic version of soccer management. There’s been no finer version of a Football Manager game, and it could be a few years before we see an entry as innovative as this one.

Even if the game is 2 years old already (actually 3, taking into account it was launched in November 2018), the level of realism dazzles. The personalities of the players on the pitch are very well reproduced, for me being very easy to recognize their style of play as I watch a common football game. I started an international qualifying campaign to Euro with my homeland nation and after taking them to the EURO Final Tournament from the 2nd place of the qualifying group - this while beating the best nation in the game at the time (Belgium, 2-0) and some previous World Cup Winnners (Spain, 1-0 in a testing friendly), I was knocked out from the group stage with 3 consecutive defeats, but the joy felt while playing FM19 remains the same after years and years of game editions and for the editions to come, I am pretty sure. An enjoyable tactical managerial sport simulation strategy.

→ Didier Deschamps n'a qu'à bien se tenir ! Quel bonheur de retrouver ce qui est possiblement ma licence préférée. J'y joué étant plus jeune, et je me rends compte rapidement qu'il reste de loin le maître des jeux de gestion sportive. Ça base de donnée est comme d'habitude hallucinante. Le moteur graphique par contre n'a pas énormément évolué depuis le temps, même si ça ne me gêne aucunement puisque l'important est de pouvoir avoir des matchs 3D, et que les graphismes sont finalement secondaires pour ce type de jeu. Un must ! Sortie en novembre 2019 / Développé par Sports Interactive.

Football Manager 2019 is a game that’ll get its studs into you early and you won’t be able to shake it free for some time. A must-buy for football fans.

Football Manager 2019 does its best to welcome new players without losing any depth.

Tactics and training overhauls will surely be appreciated by fans, but Football Manager 2019 still needs to revamp some of its parts.

It's still not the most welcoming game for newcomers, stacking systems upon systems upon systems, but for veterans and those willing to put in the effort to learn, there's never been a better time to hop in and entrench yourself in the virtual dugout. Football Manager 2019's tweaks will have you happily settling in for another mammoth play session of juggling egos, pipping your rivals to the signing of a wonderkid, and smashing in a 90th-minute winner to capture a league title in triumphant fashion.

If you’re a die-hard football fan but also a lover of the behind the scene workings of football, this is a game that will give you all of that to your heart's content. For the rest of us football fans, I’d suggest sticking to the latest iteration of FIFA.

Not the best franchise game, but not the worst either. The game could have a higher degree of difficulty. No more fulfills your goals. Worth it.

Got a decent amount of time from the game. Maybe it's not a great improvement from the last one I played (2017) and a lot of issues are still there (match engine above all), but I love this experience and can't help it!

Late review for the life of FM 2019 but thought I'd write fore people before they buy FM20. Basically bought after not having bought since 2015. It's a great looking game, and a lot of stuff is really good - tactics, training, the stats, visualisations, analysis, etc. BUT - unknown players cost a fortune. Negotiations, player interaction, press interaction all gets boring and samey. But WORST of all - the MATCH ENGINE. It's terrible. EPL matches rarely see over 20 shots - I regularly get 30+, 40+, 50+ and can't score, and I draw or lose. You get a feel for the games you know you'll lose and as I read in another review - it's a puzzle game, where the solution is to optimise the number that dictates whether you'll win or lose - It feels very much like that. It's not that realistic. That's not to say it isn't fun. It is - but SI have never managed to solve that problem in their coding. It's also clunky - particularly player searches, which are slow.

They really are phoning this game in now and have been for some time. clunky and slow even on a beast of a PC. terrible layout, same same
