I love football manager and I genuinely regret buying this game
I love football manager and I genuinely regret buying this game. The match engine has been broken for weeks, despite two updates and promises that it will be sorted. This is a football management game where the strikers can't score one on ones, which therefore renders all counter attacking football as useless. I've been a huge fan of the series for a decade but this is the worst one I've ever played. Don't buy it - stick to FM19.

Everything apart from the matches is superb, best FM ever
Everything apart from the matches is superb, best FM ever. The match engine is fundamentally broken - too easy to split a defence open with a long ball resulting in a one-on-one, so SI nerfed the conversion rates of one-on-one chances to keep scorelines acceptable. The result however, is that your world class striker misses 2-5 easy chances every game. Wingers do not square the ball for strikers, instead preferring to shoot from obscenely acute angles rather than play the ball across the box. Half the crowd is a repeated man in an orange jumper. This may sound minor but it's really immersion breaking once you notice it. You can be a team that plays in blue, and yet over 50% of the crowd are dressed in orange. It diminishes the match experience and detracts from the game as a whole. It's crap like this, broken for 2 months now, I've bought every game in this series since the year 2000, I pre-order every year (literally the only game I will do so with) and said I'll continue to do so until I get burned. Well, SI Games, you've broken me at last. The 'Bugs' section of your forum is littered with these issues that are "under review", well you can consider my purchase of FM 2021 in the same category. Edit: I played a bunch more because apparently I'm a masochist. The match engine is total cack and has regressed massively since FM 2017. Don't waste your money - take up a more enjoyable pastime such as jamming needles in your eyes, you'll thank me for it.

Every year we see improvements here and there, this year that's not an exception
Every year we see improvements here and there, this year that's not an exception. Although still far from perfect, the 3D engine and graphics were improved, small tweaks through out the entire game and interface, more tactical response from the players in the pitch, improved relationships and the biggest focus for this new edition: The youth prospects and the future of your club and carreer. Now the club's objectives are set on a more accurate and demanding way and the young players are really taken into consideration regarding the next few years. It's fair to, somehow, say that this new edition is "more of the same", but in the end it's refreshing and its changes are enough to renew our desire and hunger to keep playing year after year this amazing game. I play since the very first edition back in the 90's, every year I spend long hours playing. I was a teenager by that time and I'm a 41 years old married father today. I never get fed up of this game, no matter what.
