    Football Manager 17 is a titan of a game, representing a depth of knowledge, complexity, customization, and humanity that would be a welcome addition to any game on any subject. If football, or soccer as many a westerner calls it, is not your favorite sport, that may very well be the only reason to not give this game a twirl. While an expert may find some small issue, as a greenhorn I can’t report a single drawback for the game, but I can pretty much find a complement for each and every aspect of this marvelous simulator.

    There’s little to fault here and that's because SI Games takes the iterative approach. Whilst there hasn’t been a big shift on the game's workings since tactical sliders were removed in FM 2014 each version is a step forward.

    Football Manager 2017 is the best soccer manager simulator ever, but its new features are not good enough to forget its predecessor.

    Football Manager 2017 is a very good game, though it hasn’t evolved a lot when compared to its predecessors.

    Football Manager 2017 is an excellent football management experience, with tons of information and an incredible depth in every field of management. The engine is solid, running smoothly, but it needs a complete upgrade in the future.

    Football Manager 2017 offers improvements on all fronts, but mostly scores with better controls, clearer interface and overall better gaming experience.

    For those who love the series and have dedicated hundreds of hours to it, purchasing the game is an unavoidable ritual. It’s more of what you want, with a lick of paint and up-to-date player stats...But for everyone else, it may be better to sit this one out, or wait for some sort of mid-season overhaul.

    Best FM so far bar none. Have been some complaints the game doesn't have too many new amazing features but that's doing a massive disserviceBest FM so far bar none. Have been some complaints the game doesn't have too many new amazing features but that's doing a massive disservice to the game itself. The match engine is better than ever. The transfer AI is better than ever. The way information appears for the user and the ease you can navigate around the game is now better than ever.

    I've never seen the match engine react so well to my instructions - I've just beaten Juventus with a weaker side playing intelligent counter-attacking football. It's like Mourinho when everybody still thought he was a good manager! If you want to get the closest you'll ever get to managing a professional football side this is it.    … Expand

    Lower Leagues seem to be broken. I played as AFC Fylde and couldn't even afford to field a decent squad in year 2 due to wage demands. FirstLower Leagues seem to be broken. I played as AFC Fylde and couldn't even afford to field a decent squad in year 2 due to wage demands. First year salaries averaged around $550 a week with all contracts expiring after one year. Average backups wanted $800-$1400 per week for new contracts and all of my current roster wanted double their first year salary if they re-signed.

    How are you supposed to play a game when the board increases wages by 10% but players all want 100% more to play? Also, what no-name conference players without bonuses suddenly demand contract bonuses similar in terms found in the upper leagues? Poorly executed formatting in terms of finances for lower leagues...    … Expand

    Pones en tácticas jugar a la posesión y terminas con un 12% de posesión, pones jugar a la contra y terminas con un 60%, todo aleatorio, un desastre de juego.

    Los menus son complentamente engorrosos, nada está claro, no paran de salirte pop ups de mensajes que nada te importan o no son relevantes.

    Las ruedas de prensa son siempre lo mismo.

    Recomendaría antes el modo carrera de FIFA como juego de manager qu esta cosa, una auténtica chapuza de juego, deberían pagarnos por jugar a el.

    No recomiendo para nada la compra de esto, ni aún qué lo veaís por 0,01€.
