Naturally, this screen is more exciting for some teams than others, and teams in lower leagues tend to have more interesting 5-year plans. The Club Vision also includes a 5-year plan, which includes longer-term continuous goals, as well as the board’s expectations over the next half a decade. For example, your team may be known for its attacking football, so the board may want to make sure you continue to follow that culture. This sort of thing is commonplace in football management games, but this improved version goes into far greater detail than the usual “we expect you to win the league this season” stuff you usually get. The Club Vision screen is basically a mission statement that explains what the board expects of the club. Other new features are similarly focused on the future. The result is a game that can absolutely be worth your time and money, but feels like it’s constantly fighting against you.

This would be perfectly fine were the 20 versions not plagued with a horrendous control scheme, making ‘less complicated’ one of the things furthest from your mind when you start playing it.įootball Manager 2020 Touch is Sega and Sports Interactive’s third attempt at nailing this, but we’re sorry to say that while it’s undoubtedly still as addictive and compelling as the series has always been, those control issues and a few other niggles continue to be present. That’s mainly because the Switch versions of Football Manager are actually ports of Football Manager Touch, the slimmed-down take on the game designed for quicker, less complicated play.

All of the opinions and insights here are subject to that version. This game was reviewed based on Xbox One review code, using an Xbox One console. One of the features that has really impressed me with the Xbox version is the quick resume feature, no waiting on loading screens just to grab a couple of games before dinner or heading off to work means that it really can be a pick up and play experience. I will always be a full-fat version of the game kinda guy, but that doesn’t take away from the fact the Sports Interactive have done a great job at making a Football Manager sim accessible to people who don’t want to search the Ecuadorean 3 rd division to find the next wonder kid.

The experience of playing Football Manager on my living room TV really makes a difference – the whole thing feels more premium. The ability to take your Xbox save and throw it onto the cloud to be played wherever you like (this goes for tablet and laptop). Something else that I have still to test in the cross save feature of the game. The Xbox Series X gets the most out of the game by running in native 4K with HDR but previous generations in the Xbox family will either have upscaled 4K or 1080p.

I have put more than my fair share of hours into the PC version of the series and this latest match engine is head and shoulders above anything that’s been before. Jumping into the game I must say that the user interface is a nice change from previous years, with a bold purple design. So back to the game itself and I thought where better to start than my boyhood club, Glasgow Celtic. I would have liked to see SI have a fully integrated M&K control option as this would make a massive improvement to the game. I haven’t had a chance to test it but a USB keyboard is apparently useable to make the transfer market a bit easier to navigate. RT seems to be the “left click” of the game as this advances the game and works it’s way through the news sections. I feel I spent more time trying to navigate the menus to access my tactics and transfers than I did playing the matches to begin with. This was always going to be an issue over the mouse and keyboard version (or even the touch screen). On this note, lets get right into the Achilles heel of the game: Navigation. However don’t think that this streamlined approach has taken away the depth that comes along with Football Manager as there is still plenty to explore as you dive deeper into the menus.

The Touch version has been around on tablets, pc and also the Switch in recent years. This means that instead of spending 4 days trying to arrange a pre-season you can progress through seasons at a similar pace to the old Championship Manager games.
