Football Manager 2024 Reviews
FM24 by its very nature is more of the same and that isn't in itself a criticism. Indeed, Sports Interactive would likely argue this final love letter to 20 years of the series is the culmination and last hurrah of what they have been building up to over the last number of years. Fans returning to the series will either find the presentation a comfort blanket or more of the same, depending on their point of view. Changes to the ageing match engine breathe new life into watching the spectacle play out while the emphasis on the greater power of agents in wheeling and dealing in the transfer market adds a layer of complexity that spices things up. There are also overhauls to set pieces and increased focus on player's individual targets and development. Despite all that though, it does feel like the natural stepping off point of the series to go in a slightly different direction before things get stale and it therefore isn't surprising that FM25 promises a 'new chapter'. It will be exciting to watch where the series goes in the coming years.
Football Manager 2024 still sufers from ample issues in interface, visuals and music department. But if you are a die hard fan of football, you will enjoy managing your favourite football club down to the smallest details.

Football Manager 2024 Console Edition continues to shape the formula on consoles, but it still falls far short of the PC version. Simplifying some tasks and content has its pros and cons. On the one hand, it allows for faster and more agile gameplay, ideal for enjoying the experience on consoles. On the other hand, it leaves in the way deeper functionalities in some essential areas of the franchise, such as scouting or chatter during games.

SEGA and Sports Interactive give us a strawberry-flavored treat to rid us of the bad taste from the previous edition, along with a good number of improvements that will please most veteran players. Despite everything, they will have to consider whether they want to make the leap. If you haven't played for a couple of seasons or are a newcomer to the franchise, welcome to the true king of sports.

Is Football Manager 2024 Touch on Switch the best way to experience the franchise this year? Probably not, in light of the various other versions and platforms available. However, it is a solid version of a strong entry in the series, with the convenience of being on Nintendo's marvellous little machine whether you want to play on the go or pop it up on the TV. It strips away some of the immersive depth from the 'main' version on PC, but adds interesting nuances of its own while keeping the experience snappy. If you can figure out the quirky physical controls, along with how to get your 4-3-2-1 formation humming, you can sink plenty of hours into this one.
Football Manager 2024 remains the grand champion of its category. The title developed by the Sports Interactive team is as complete as ever. This year's changes to gameplay and squad planning have had a real impact on our games. The introduction of new championships every year means that there's something for everyone. I still regret the absence of women's leagues, but I imagine this is an idea the developers have already had, and we'll just have to be patient. All in all, this is the best sports management experience on the market. However, the interface is still very busy and may not suit all players.

Football Manager 2024 sticks to a formula that works well and doesn't try to change it, but it does add some minor innovations. These are mainly aimed at experienced and hardcore players, but the game still manages to appeal to new players through a series of hints and assistants.

Football Manager 2024 is a wonderful simulation, something we have come to expect from Sports Interactive after continuously putting out top quality products. Even with some of the early bugs that accompany newly released games, the game represents the best of what is the beautiful game at its highest level. The only downside to this title is the amount of sleep you'll put off when you're trying to just get through the transfer window so you can finalize your squad to meet the demands of the business end of the season.
After a bit of a letdown last year, Football Manager 2024 gives new life to a storied franchise. As far as management simulators go, Football Manager 2024 remains among the absolute best of them.
Football Manager 2024 seems to have tried to maximize what it can do while saying goodbye to its current game engine. The adaptation of QQL innovations has also been very successful. If you're already an FM addict, I'm sure by the time you read this you've already put the 35th Wonderkid candidate on your shortlist...

FM24 is just another FM game, but it improves on the tried and true formula while making the overall experience better and the visuals much sharper. If you’re going to get a version of this game then Football Manager 2024 is undeniably the way to go.
Football Manager 2024 is the last installment with the current engine before what promises to be a turning point in the saga, and they could not have done it in a better way, bringing the best and most polished version of the game so far, and addressing demands such as the import of games or the inclusion of the J-League. The tactical improvements, squad management and transfers, and the match simulation engine will delight all fans. The only shame that comes to mind seeing the expertise of the guys at Sports Interactive is that they have not managed to consolidate a saga of the same quality for other sports such as basketball or ice hockey despite their attempts a few years ago. with this latest sporting modality.

Presented as both a transitional episode and the best in the series, Football Manager 2024 succeeds in this double challenge. Firstly, because it subtly introduces mechanics that are bound to be improved in the years to come. Secondly, because it concentrates the best of the previous opuses, while pushing the level of quality to the maximum. Long live Football Manager... and long live the sequel, gentlemen!

Football Manager 2024 is a great experience for anyone who has played the series in the past 10 years. It refines all the core gameplay, adds some interesting new ideas, and gives players a lot of freedom to engage with the mechanics they like and delegate the rest.
While the console edition of Football Manager 2024 is admirable and certainly serviceable for those who can't play on PC, it's tough to recommend thanks to how stripped back it is by comparison. Entire features are missing, and navigating through menus is a slow, frustrating chore. This is a subpar port that's fine as a gateway experience, but it's hard to look past its flaws - especially when the grass seems so much greener across the way.
Football Manager 2024 refreshes the formula just enough ahead of its biggest overhaul to date next year, allowing players to become the digital Alan Curbishley with the most depth of any FM yet.
Football Manager 2024 doesn’t change much from last year’s game, but the changes it does make can greatly impact how you choose to play. Ultimately, it gives you the tools to live out your fantasy more than ever, making it a must-play for series fans.
Although the new features of Football Manager 24 are small, they add value to the overall experience of being a coach in the world of football.
There’s not much else to say in this review. The big feature in Football Manager 2024 is the inclusion of Japanese football. That alone makes this version of the game the definitive edition. Putting that aside the rest of the game is another decent refinement to the best sporting management game of all time, and while it sometimes feels like Sports Interactive rests on its laurels, as no one else is ever going to have the engine or data to compete in this particular niche, the reality is that when the base game is this good, tweaks from one year to the next are enough.
While waiting for the revolution promised for the next chapter, Football Manager 2024 confirms all the qualities of Sports Interactive's game.
