In short, a good game that fulfills what it promises, but that will fall short for those who have been achieving their dreams in past editions on computers for some time.

Football Manager 2022 has gone from being a bit unbeatable to the convenience of being unbeatable, but it would be unfair to ignore the great improvements they have made. If you're addicted to this species, there's little chance you won't like it. If you are going to start for the first time, it is worth looking at the older versions first.

Football Manager 2022 is no exception to the rule established by its long line: rule without sharing. This is exactly what the Sports Interactive game will do this season, as much by the absence of competition as by an impeccable mastery of its subject, reinforced by new features more likely to improve playing comfort. The Covid has certainly played, but this edition still lacks major changes to mark the occasion. When it comes to being the indisputable owner of your Steam library, football fan, you know the answer.

The latest in Sports Interactive's all-consuming management sim is the toughest and deepest trip to the dugout yet
Football Manager 2022 is a good iterative step with the improvement of the matchday engine and the addition of the data hub. The data hub especially, as well as regular staff meetings, bring the franchise another step closer to the full management experience.
All in all, Football Manager 2022 is another sublime sports simulation. It once again proves that you can enjoy football games without directly controlling the players. Its new additions add to an experience already brimming with depth, and the refinement of the gameplay style means that you’ll struggle not to lose yourself within Sports Interactive’s digital training ground. Its proficiency on even the oldest of hardware means there’s really no excuse not to dive in. This is Football Manager at its best, the virtual equivalent of a top-corner goal.
Football Manager 2022 marks a slow transition to a better game, and the third and final version next year promises to be even more exciting. This is is as good as always, but the new elements are less than we would have liked.

At a superficial glance Football Manager 2022 might seem like little more than just an update: the new chapter of Sports Interactive's football management simulation is much more. That one is delivered to the annals is probably not the best Football Manager in the thirty-year history of the series, but a good episode yes.

The veteran playmaker is still banging them in and deserves that new contract.
The evolution of animation and the new match engine have redrawn the stagnant FM series.

Football Manager 2022 is a chapter of consolidation, which capitalizes on last year's revolution. Sports Interactive has worked hard to improve the game engine even more, with brilliant animations and a brand new AI, which has a strong impact on certain game situations, such as pressing and occupying half spaces. The introduction of the Data Hub and small changes to the interface makes Football Manager 2022 the umpteenth excellent chapter of the series, which for the occasion also lands on Xbox Game Pass.

With some truly remarkable additions and a few missteps along the way, Football Manager 2022 continues the series’ fine form for yet another year.
It's a must-play, the perfect next step for existing FM fanatics, and the ideal place to start if you've never dipped your toe in the deep end of management simulations. You'll be able to get started easily and stop playing after just one more game. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to lose 6-1 to Liverpool in a failed attempt to implement a Gegenpress at Reading FC.
Football Manager 2021 was the best entry in the series for some time, and it’s safe to say that Football Manager 2022 continues that trend, by building upon the huge leaps it took last year. The improvements this time around aren’t quite as groundbreaking as last time because they’re a little more subtle and less on-the-nose, but they’re there nevertheless, meaning it is a brilliant time to be a Football Manager player. I just wish I didn’t play quite so much of the last instalment, because I’m not quite ready to start again after leaving behind my beloved Oxford United squad just a few weeks ago.
Football Manager 2022 is the undisputed king of sports managers. Perhaps this delivery sins of being too continuous and does not offer excessive news, but it is still an excellent game -and a franchise-.
