Over the years I’ve played a dozen iterations of Football Manager and its predecessor, Championship Manager. I’ve taksen twenty odd teams from rags to riches. I’ve won the World Cup, the Champions League, the Premiership, the Championship, League One, Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesliga, and most importantly, the Romanian Second Division. By this time last year I thought I was done. An assortment of minor annoyances and disappointments with Football Manager 2015 left me too frustrated to continue.

 

It didn’t last. This year's edition, while flawed, has fixed just enough of my quibbles to draw me back in. And as ever, Football Manager remains a fairytale generator. It’s perfectly possible to arrive at a struggling club with a grand history, implement innovative new tactics, and take them back to the top. It's just easy enough that you can do it, but just hard enough that you’re never quite certain you can. It’s balanced on a beautiful knife edge, and its greatest achievement is selling you the fantasy of sitting in the manager's chair.
