Football Manager still offers an unrivaled depth of experience, but this edition is more about a minor evolution and doesn't bring any really big new features. So, if you still have the previous edition on your drive and you are not a hardcore fan of the series, you will be fine with it.

Aside from excluding a vast swathe of the world from having the same opportunity to take control of their favourite teams as most Europeans do, Football Manager 23 Touch is a substantial step forward for the developer. For perhaps the first time they’ve figured out how to make the enormity of data that you’re going to spend hours looking at and tweaking playable with a controller. It might not sound like much, but that must have been a monumentally challenging UI effort, and the development team really did nail it.

Football Manager 2023 is as solid from the mechanics' point of view as any of its predecessors. Working out tactical problems is as engaging as ever. Winning championships, or even avoiding relegation as the right team, is thrilling.

If you already own Football Manager 2022, then it likely isn’t worth upgrading to Football Manager 2023. The changes it boasts do make for a better experience, but it feels more like a slight quality-of-life update than a whole new game to replace what came before it. That said, this is undoubtedly still the best sports simulation game on the market. And if you’re looking to step into the world of Football Manager for the first time, or you’ve been away for several years, you won’t be disappointed.

A few changes here and there improve Football Manager 2023 much more than I'd anticipated. It's still the same deeply engrossing sim that you know and love, but with a few extra bells and whistles to keep the fans happy.

SI Interactive certainly had to contend with the hardware limitations of the Nintendo Switch, but overall they released the best possible alternative for those who want to play outside.

An overly conservative installment that has the same problems of all annual sports franchises. If it's your first FM23 you'll enjoy it, and if you're a classic of the franchise you won't find anything new beyond the updated templates.

Football Manager 2023 adds many improvements to an already proven formula, delivering richer and more varied matches with deeper AI and team management. Too bad for the obsolete graphics during matches, in need of deep enhancement.

If it ain't broke, don't break it. That could be the summary of Football Manager 2023. A delivery that is based on the previous one, which already rests on the shoulders of a long list of improvements that it has undergone over the years delivery by delivery, and brings us other new and succulent ones such as UEFA licenses or the new template management. Whether you are a lover of the saga or if you have not played it until now but are looking for a soccer management game, do not doubt that it will satisfy you.

The differences being minute aren’t exactly a deal-breaker. It’s legitimately hard to improve upon a formula that has been polished to near perfection for Sports Interactive’s small, but die-hard loyal fanbase. Football Manager 2023 caters to its audience and gives zero craps if you’re not part of this minute niche. If you are part of this demographic, however, this will once again be a time-consuming, heart-wrenching, immersive, and engrossing experience, one you could easily spend spend hundreds of hours playing.
