Manage a football club and take them to greatness in this vivid and fun game

Football Manager 2018 does for football team management what FIFA does for performance out in the field. This is the leading football management sim on the market, and that's thanks to an exhaustive and nerdy approach to the subject matter. That means manipulating a whole lot of menus, but it can be surprisingly tense. You'll have to oversee the finances of your team, scout out for new talent, and carefully foster the athletes already on your team.
That's been the case since the inception of Football Manager, but there are some exciting new innovations at work here too. The most notable is the Dynamics system. This adds a whole lot of humanity to your players by forcing you to consider their activities and overall health even when they're off the field.
But the core game is the same that it's always been. If you want to see what it's like to live the life of a football manager, this game is the most realistic depiction around. Just keep in mind that the lack of action and the graphical sparsity of the game may turn off some gamers.
