This game is a shining example of how annual releases should be done. FM remains the standard bearer that all football games should be following.
There is no single way to play Football Manager 24, but then again, that’s been the charm of the entire franchise. There are several reasons to keep coming back for more, though, and it’s apparent the developers took that to heart this time around.

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.
This year's version is not at the level of DLC or a simple update. There are plenty of changes, but it depends on your play style whether you take advantage of them or not. You can play total micromanagement or throw it to the assistants and just enjoy the matches, and maybe even manage minute to minute there. [Issue#332]
Football Manager 2024 is a fantastic soccer strategy sim, with Sports Interactive signing off on this era of Football Manager with aplomb. It’s an evolution not a revolution, a game based on small change rather than overhauls, so manage that expectation. But it’s still very, very good.
Football Manager 2024 brings added finesse to the ultimate sports management simulator. There are frustrations for seasoned players, and a heavy learning curve for rookies, but this is still the best single-player sports game on the market.
Football Manager 2024 is inevitably an end-of-cycle game. SI's passion meant that even this year, we got a number of decent innovations, some surprising like the improvements in animation. However, the outdated engine and gameplay patterns, more and more easy to read, are still there with them. You'll play it and enjoy it, but don't necessarily expect a memorable release.
When you first start Football Manager 2024, it can feel almost identical to FM23. The layout, overall presentation, and mechanics don’t immediately scream "new." This is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, veterans of the series will feel right at home, as the familiarity ensures there’s no steep learning curve. On the other hand, for those expecting radical changes, the initial experience might feel a bit too comfortable or repetitive.However, this consistency also means that FM24 preserves the deep, engaging gameplay fans expect, with the focus still squarely on tactical acumen, squad building, and the thrill of managing a football club through the ups and downs of a ****’s only after you dive deeper into FM24 that you start noticing the differences and refinements that distinguish it from last year’s version. One key area of improvement is the interface. While the general layout is familiar, the interface feels more polished, with smoother transitions, improved readability, and more intuitive navigation between menus. These tweaks may not seem groundbreaking but they enhance the overall user experience, making the game feel more fluid.Another area where Football Manager 2024 stands out is the revamped training system. Training has always been an important aspect of the series, but in FM24, it feels more refined and impactful. Managers can now enjoy deeper control over the development of their players, with more detailed training schedules and options to customize individual or team-focused **** of the standout updates in FM24 is the inclusion of the latest European competition regulations. This is a notable improvement that brings the game in line with the real-world changes in football. For example, the revamped Champions League format, including the Swiss system, is now faithfully recreated in the game. This means your club’s European campaigns will feel different, offering new strategic challenges in terms of squad rotation, fixture congestion, and navigating a new qualification process.

It's FM, what can you say? Only people who love it does play it. I personally enjoy it, but, as a long time player of the franchise, I must say that this level of complexity is not really useful to nothing. If you want to have a full experience and manage everything the game offers, then it will take longer that doing it in real life. Also, interacting with people is usually puzzling, I don't have the grasp over it and after a while I leave it to staff, because they speak the language of the game, not me. I will wait for an AI introduction

Introduction:The announcement of Football Manager 25's transition to the Unity engine, while a nod to graphical enhancement, starkly highlights a deeper, more troubling issue: the game's stagnation. As a long-time supporter and critic, I can't help but express profound disappointment in the direction of the **** Problem of Stagnation and Complacency:Sports Interactive seems to have settled into a comfort zone, lacking the drive for meaningful innovation. This complacency, likely fueled by a lack of competition, has led to a series that feels increasingly out of touch with its player base's desires and the evolving landscape of football management.Demand for Substantial Overhaul:Online Servers and Live Seasons: The game must adopt online servers for real-time season updates. This isn't just a 'nice-to-have'; it's essential for a game purporting to mirror the dynamic world of **** Revolution and Tactical Depth: The AI is archaic, the tactical options limited. We need a system that reflects the complexity and diversity of modern football strategies. We are tired of 4-2-3-1 engine busters.Authentic Player Dynamics: Players in the game should embody real personalities, complete with ambitions and complex relationships, influencing team dynamics in profound ways.Interactive Training and Influential Staff: The training and staff mechanics should be more than superficial features; they should be integral to a team's success and play style. I want to hire a staff member because he may have unique methods that align with my play style.Robust Club Management: Managing a club should encompass all facets, including financial and commercial decisions that have tangible impacts. Companies ready to buy in or bid for our clubs investment opportunituiesOptional FUT-Like Mode Innovation: Introducing a FUT-like mode would inject fresh energy into the game, offering a new way to engage with football history and fantasy. (Without LootBoxes)Revamped Release Schedule:Beta Launch: Align with the start of the EPL season. 2 Weeks before a match ball is kicked.Post-Transfer Update: Immediately after the summer transfer window.Regular Seasonal Updates: To accurately reflect the unfolding football season.Call to Action for New Developers:The genre is crying out for new voices and fresh perspectives. I urge new developers to step into this space, challenging the status quo and igniting a much-needed revolution in football management simulations.Conclusion:This isn't just a critique; it's a clarion call for radical change. The Football Manager series must undergo a fundamental transformation or risk losing its relevance. As fans, we deserve a game that evolves with us, challenges us, and reflects the beautiful complexity of the sport we love. Sports Interactive, it's time for a true revolution, not just in graphics but in spirit and substance.

Every year the games that repeat each other every year, my only hope is that the graphics engine will change in the next game, the only thing that has changed in the game for years is the name.
