    Redesigned interface and wealth of various small improvements make Football Manager 2016 much more accessible to newcomers without sacrificing even a bit of its astounding depth. [01/2016, p.64]

    With two new modes and a ton of improvements and additions, Football Manager 2016 is another great entry into an already stellar series.

    Football Manager 2016 is still a great game for every football fan. It brings some interesting additions, but at the same time there are some issues that Sports Interactive should finally tackle really hard.

    There’s not much new here in terms of ground-breaking additions and improvements, but Sports Interactive’s efforts are just about enough to offer an improved experience and a more fun game compared to last year’s release.

    This year's combination of small improvements and innovations creates an excellent experience, that helps the newcomers join in. The veterans will be on other hand pleased with clarity and overall balance. It’s not a revolution -thankfully- because revolution could cause more harm in the moment.

    Football Manager 2016 lacks of ambition to be one of the main episodes of the Sports Interactive series. It's the most complete FM we have though, and it's consequently the best till next year.

    As usual, it's a great sim of football manager. But this time it differs from previous episodes almost in no respect. [Issue#260]

    If someone had given me this game without knowing the title, I would never have guessed that it is a new FM 2016 game. It is almost entirelyIf someone had given me this game without knowing the title, I would never have guessed that it is a new FM 2016 game. It is almost entirely similar to FM 2015 with the majority of the interface, features etc unchanged or majorly improved. People are just paying for a data update on the same **** from previous years.

    Save your money. FM 2016 is not worth it if u have FM 2015. The only benefits are the data update and some minor improvements which are definitely worth the $50.    … Expand

    Since a fan&player of this style games since championship manager 92/93, every new year it advanced we arrived FM 16. But, is this the best?Since a fan&player of this style games since championship manager 92/93, every new year it advanced we arrived FM 16. But, is this the best? Of course no. Since FM14, sigames take control from you and give it to itself. Every new version of the game, your control and given tactics are less and less. Just buy player and put pre defined player roles thats all.
    When tactical sliders gone, your hands are tied up, you are not free to create your tactic, especially when individual tactics.
    I think when they made the handheld version and online support for this game, they take too many constant for this game, its easier for them to manage but they couldnt do this well too.
    Play FM 13or FM14; these are the best. After FM14, they all pre defined tactical game.
    And; dont think about the graphics and visiuals about this game. İts nonsense. FM is not a PES or FIFA. New generation players dont understand the sprit of the game this game dont need visiuals(stadiums,supportars,weather condition, etc etc). SI try to attract new generation players.
    To SI; improve the game not visiuals.
    Finally, there are lots of things to improve the game but they are in the wrong way.
    Dont buy this, play FM 13&14, you will be very much satisfied.    … Expand
