The best, deepest, yet still pretty open for newcomers entry in this well-known series in years.

If you're a Football Manager addict, you'll play this game anyway; but if you're a newcomer Football Manager 2020 has plenty of tools to get you into the game. This is the best way to experience what it feels like to be at the sideline.

Sports Interactive has made Football Manager new again, without breaking what already made it so delightful. It's more of the same, only newer.

Football Manager 2020 manages to improve upon last years outing in enough areas to justify an upgrade for owners for FM 2019 or before. However, I do feel it's getting closer to the point where a marquee feature will need to be introduced or an existing one improved dramatically such as the 3D match engine.

Surprisingly accessible considering the depth of management on offer. Football Manager 2020 delights in almost every way. Prepare to be sucked in once again.

A sizeable improvement on last year's already excellent game, with major changes and minor tweaks that will delight veteran players and encourage newcomers.

Football Manager 2020 is the purest, most engrossing and also the most accessible football management game yet and marks yet another high point for the series. From improved accessibility and usability to improved AI and long-term gameplay functions in new features like the development centre & club vision, this is a game that takes a longer more realistic look at the beautiful game than any before it. Slight issues still prevail, but this is the closest to perfect the series has ever been.

I am hugely enjoying & extremely addicted to Football Manager 2020 this year. I am not sure why in particular as I get every years release. I think its because I didn’t rack up a lot of hours on FM19 so I am now back with a vengeance with excitement more than ever. The new features make the game far better with the detailed information more at your finger tips, and with the matchday games becoming more and more realistic, its just another very solid playthrough. Football fans that enjoy management sims and that are dedicated to the series will continue to enjoy what Miles Jacobson & Sports Interactive have released this year. Are you ready to take the reins of one of Europe’s elite teams? Or are you willing to manage a lower league club in an attempt to bring them to the promised land? The decision is entirely yours. I am giving Football Manager 2020 ….drum roll please….. the Thumb Culture Platinum Award!

Can you recommend Football Manager 2020? If you can bring a lot of time and like to click through menus and turn every little screw as a tactical fox, with Segas Manager Games you have a modern piece of software in hand to let several weeks go by. Above all, the new board features motivate over several seasons, because it is not just the goal to make the climb or to win the championship. Football is the most beautiful thing in the world, but it's not always just black or white. And if a piece of software has recognized this and wants to offer us a complex simulation, then probably the Football Manager 2020.

In the end, I think you will struggle to find a better representation of the sport of soccer.
