    Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is a great management sim, with a very high customization level, a huge database and a very effective porting to console controls. Definitely, a must-have for any real football lover.

    The experience of playing Football Manager on my living room TV really makes a difference – the whole thing feels more premium. I will always be a full-fat version of the game kinda guy, but that doesn’t take away from the fact the Sports Interactive have done a great job at making a Football Manager sim accessible to people who don’t want to search the Ecuadorean 3rd division to find the next wonder kid. One of the features that has really impressed me with the Xbox version is the quick resume feature, no waiting on loading screens just to grab a couple of games before dinner or heading off to work means that it really can be a pick up and play experience.

    Football Manager 2021 is still the undisputed king of the soccer management sim. It's great to have it on consoles.

    Although Football Manager 21 isn’t as in-depth on Xbox Series X as it is on PC, it manages to provide a fun and engaging management simulator that has been sorely missing from consoles for some time.

    Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is a very good management sim and a viable option for anyone who spends more time on an Xbox than a PC. Performance-wise it runs well on the Series X and the whole layout is brilliantly designed from a visual standpoint. Unfortunately, it’s a pain to navigate the menus and even after sinking a ton of hours in, it still feels odd. The inclusion of microtransactions leaves a bitter taste too, because they’re just unnecessary.

    Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is a fantastic option for the most conscientious football fans. Despite the absence of some features, its only big problem is its poor playability with a controller.

    It may not be perfect, with a control scheme that’s functional but still a little too clunky, and it’s almost impossible to recommend to anyone who owns a capable PC. However, if you only own an Xbox, all of the main features are there, the match engine is better than ever and it’s a great title to dip in and out of for 30 minutes at a time.

Whilst this is paired back from the full PC version it has most of the component parts and in some ways is as comprehensive as you want to make it.

    The microtransactions are not thrown at you and are entirely optional.

    The biggest drawback is the control system which in the beginning (and still after multiple hours of play) isn't especially intuitive and it takes a long time for muscle memory to develop.

    There is nothing quite like finding hidden gems and moving from non-league to the Champions League. If you don't have access to a PC then this is a decent simplified alternative that still grabs you and doesn't let go!    … Expand
