It’s November. For a huge number of people, it means its Call of Duty month. For others, like me, it’s Simulation-games Christmas, its Football Manager month. Sports Interactive have been making the series for thirteen years now following their split with Eidos and the Championship Manager series. More than ever, the game is about the personalities than the strategies.

Last year I reviewed Football Manager 2017. Much like then, I have to point out the problems with an annual release of any game. How can Sports Interactive justify the new yearly release of Football Manager beyond updating squads and player stats? As mentioned, over the past number of iterations it’s been about the role-playing than the strategy. It’s less Jose Mourinho than it is Mick McCarthy. That’s to say it’s all about the personality.
