Football Manager 2024 is the last installment with the current engine before what promises to be a turning point in the saga, and they could not have done it in a better way, bringing the best and most polished version of the game so far, and addressing demands such as the import of games or the inclusion of the J-League. The tactical improvements, squad management and transfers, and the match simulation engine will delight all fans. The only shame that comes to mind seeing the expertise of the guys at Sports Interactive is that they have not managed to consolidate a saga of the same quality for other sports such as basketball or ice hockey despite their attempts a few years ago. with this latest sporting modality. |

Football Manager 2024 gives you more control over a football club’s operations than ever before. You’ll talk to players individually, plan game strategies, and snap up talent while retaining your own. Every club is different and it’s up to you to figure out the best path forward. There are a lot of systems to learn which can be intimidating if you aren’t familiar with club management. You also won’t see the outcome of your decisions until a good amount of time has passed. But nothing beats the feeling of everything coming together when your team holds the championship cup. |

There’s not much else to say in this review. The big feature in Football Manager 2024 is the inclusion of Japanese football. That alone makes this version of the game the definitive edition. Putting that aside the rest of the game is another decent refinement to the best sporting management game of all time, and while it sometimes feels like Sports Interactive rests on its laurels, as no one else is ever going to have the engine or data to compete in this particular niche, the reality is that when the base game is this good, tweaks from one year to the next are enough. |

Presented as both a transitional episode and the best in the series, Football Manager 2024 succeeds in this double challenge. Firstly, because it subtly introduces mechanics that are bound to be improved in the years to come. Secondly, because it concentrates the best of the previous opuses, while pushing the level of quality to the maximum. Long live Football Manager… and long live the sequel, gentlemen! |

Football Manager 2024 remains the grand champion of its category. The title developed by the Sports Interactive team is as complete as ever. This year’s changes to gameplay and squad planning have had a real impact on our games. The introduction of new championships every year means that there’s something for everyone. I still regret the absence of women’s leagues, but I imagine this is an idea the developers have already had, and we’ll just have to be patient. All in all, this is the best sports management experience on the market. However, the interface is still very busy and may not suit all players. |

Football Manager 2024 Console Edition continues to shape the formula on consoles, but it still falls far short of the PC version. Simplifying some tasks and content has its pros and cons. On the one hand, it allows for faster and more agile gameplay, ideal for enjoying the experience on consoles. On the other hand, it leaves in the way deeper functionalities in some essential areas of the franchise, such as scouting or chatter during games. |

Football Manager 2024 is a true return to form for the series. Every addition we have seen feels important, more so than in the last couple of years, whilst the frustrations of FM23 have been left behind. The debate about annual releases will always rage on, but in this case, it’s justified. The narratives that develop throughout a save, the relationships you create with players and the joy of a last-minute winner are as prevalent as ever. Sega and Sports Interactive often tout this series as the most authentic, complete footballing experience |

SEGA and Sports Interactive give us a strawberry-flavored treat to rid us of the bad taste from the previous edition, along with a good number of improvements that will please most veteran players. Despite everything, they will have to consider whether they want to make the leap. If you haven’t played for a couple of seasons or are a newcomer to the franchise, welcome to the true king of sports. |

Football Manager 2024 is a fitting end to this cycle of the series. However, it is showing its age in its current guise. Next year will be telling, but until then, especially if you’ve not played in a while, Football Manager 2024 is a great way to celebrate 20 years. |

Is Football Manager 2024 Touch on Switch the best way to experience the franchise this year? Probably not, in light of the various other versions and platforms available. However, it is a solid version of a strong entry in the series, with the convenience of being on Nintendo’s marvellous little machine whether you want to play on the go or pop it up on the TV. It strips away some of the immersive depth from the ‘main’ version on PC, but adds interesting nuances of its own while keeping the experience snappy. If you can figure out the quirky physical controls, along with how to get your 4-3-2-1 formation humming, you can sink plenty of hours into this one. |

Football Manager 2024 is a wonderful simulation, something we have come to expect from Sports Interactive after continuously putting out top quality products. Even with some of the early bugs that accompany newly released games, the game represents the best of what is the beautiful game at its highest level. The only downside to this title is the amount of sleep you’ll put off when you’re trying to just get through the transfer window so you can finalize your squad to meet the demands of the business end of the season. |

Football Manager 2024 seems to have tried to maximize what it can do while saying goodbye to its current game engine. The adaptation of QQL innovations has also been very successful. If you’re already an FM addict, I’m sure by the time you read this you’ve already put the 35th Wonderkid candidate on your shortlist… |

While the console edition of Football Manager 2024 is admirable and certainly serviceable for those who can’t play on PC, it’s tough to recommend thanks to how stripped back it is by comparison. Entire features are missing, and navigating through menus is a slow, frustrating chore. This is a subpar port that’s fine as a gateway experience, but it’s hard to look past its flaws |

Football Manager 24 is, again, a dream come true for wannabe coaches, but giving a score to this game is becoming harder and harder. Sports Interactive managed to have an impressive level of details and this actually (and still) feels and plays like a real encyclopedia of football. On the other hand, it still has some flaws that have not been fixed in the last years, making it look more like an update, than an actual yearly iteration. |
