It’s been a while since I did one of these reviews, isn’t it? With that in mind, I guess it’s time to have a look at one of the newest football management games available on Steam right now.
I picked this particular title up in Steam’s winter sale and played through a season in the first week of the new decade. Is it any good? Well…
Strap yourselves in, folks, because this is Club Soccer Director PRO 2020.
As you might have noticed, things have been a little quiet here at Fuller FM lately. I took about a month away from blogging for health reasons and then started a weekly career series on Championship Manager 99/00 (you can find Part 1 and Part 2 in the links provided).
Why nothing about Football Manager 2020 yet? Well, unlike with Football Manager 2019 (and Football Manager 2017 as well), I didn’t pre-order the latest version or play it on launch. Instead, I held fire and waited for the demo, which came out alongside the full version on the evening of Monday 18 November.
So, for the past week-and-a-half, I’ve been getting to grips with FM20 while taking the reins at Birmingham City for six months. Here are my thoughts on the latest installment of Sports Interactive’s hit franchise… Continue reading “My thoughts on Football Manager 2020” →
Welcome to another of my occasional reviews of a football management PC game that is outside Sports Interactive’s catalogue. With the FIFA Women’s World Cup kicking off this week in France, I thought I’d look at one of the few computer games that covers women’s football.
I have been playing this particular game for about a month now, which is perhaps a promising sign. However, I can’t find a single professional review online, and Steam’s reviews are a minefield of sarcasm, poorly-written banter and open sexism (no surprises there). I hope that you will find this article more informative and useful.
So let’s not delay any longer. Let me introduce you to Women’s Soccer Manager. Continue reading “Review: Women’s Soccer Manager” →
Contrary to what you might think, Fuller FM is not a blog solely dedicated to the Football Manager series. Every now and then, I will also cover any other football management computer games – retro or modern – that catch my eye.
This is the first installment of a new, occasional series in which I will review a pretender to Sports Interactive’s virtual football throne. I’ll look into the background of each game, explain which features I liked or didn’t like, and then give a star rating out of 5. The top Champions League-quality games are awarded 5*, and the hapless Sunday Leaguers only get 1*.
Today, I will be looking at a free game that I have been playing on-and-off over the last few weeks. I think Rock Paper Shotgun summed it up pretty well when they labelled it “a scrappier and slimmer FM”. Welcome to Soccer Manager 2019. Continue reading “Review: Soccer Manager 2019” →
