It's not a game know for radical change but this year's Football Manager makes some pretty drastic alterations to its formula – but do they hit the target?

Bold new tactics system works very well and increases the importance of individual players; Real-time transfer negotiations are a welcome option and Classic mode remains a great alternative to the main game

The removal of the slider bars makes a fundamental change to the way the game works, that many will not like; The other changes are mostly trivial and the 3D visuals are still spotty

an absolute waste of money. It is amazing how when you are top, teams who are in relegation battle suddenly start beating your teams, no matter what strategy, players, instructions.. one of the worst..

Great game. I had previously played fm2007, so this was a big step up. I loved many of the features. Remember to keep your players happy!

Feature wise, everything you could want and expect from the PC version makes an appearance in this impressive port. I'm a big fan of the streamlined classic mode which harks back to the heydays of Championship Manager 99 and 00.

It's Football Manager; on a handheld; Challenges are fun; 3D match engine

Difficult to navigate; Some text is difficult to read; Long load times

You will never get tired of this game.

Addictive; realistic; improves on last year's version

Needs a powerful PC to get the most out of it

"The Football Manager gaming series has been around for over 20 years now. Starting out as Championship Manager in the early 1990's, Football Manager is widely accepted as the only football management game you need to own.

Been playing since CM and 14 is by far the worst. The changes that have been made to the tactics system have ruined the game and the tactical instructions that have replaced the sliders seem to have little or no effect on this lottery of a game. The match engine is simply laughable.

An excellent enhanced version of Football manager that takes the franchise to the next level of play. A fully immersive football experience that allows a true fan of the beautiful game to be part of his/her favorite clubs history, past, present, and future.

very happy with service and delivery always on time

Its The Best Fm Game

I dont have any cons

I have spent (or 'wasted') a great deal of my life playing Football Manager or Championship Manager since the mid-90s, but that long run may have now come to an end. Football Manager 2014 is the worst in the history of the franchise and has gone massively backwards since the 2012 version.
