There are pages, and pages, and pages of data to wade through, and while it’s possible to delegate many of the responsibilities to AI-controlled second,-in-commands, it’s also possible to micromanage the lot, leading to hours of careful study between matches at times. You’re also going to be constantly hamstrung by the need to manage your team to strict financial limits, and it can be fascinating trying to cobble together a successful team when rivals in the competition are able to significantly out-spend you. There’s no one right path to success, and indeed, being inflexible tends to turn positive results into negative. The depth of the data sets means that it’s all-but-impossible to “game” Football Manager Touch.
Football Manager Touch is a surprisingly accurate recreation of the experience of being a manager in the real sport. Or, alternatively, your favourite players in the real game that you just can’t let go in virtual management even when everything is suggesting that they’re dragging the team down. The little digital dude that cinches the win from the jaws of defeat with a crazy goal. Even when you’re given the tools that you need to go hardcore data-driven in your decisions, and even when you don’t need to deal with the politics and personalities of real people and stakeholders, you’ll still end up with your pet favourite players. To the extent you can eliminate both and replace them with data, you gain a clear advantage.” What I find to be absolutely fascinating in Football Manager is that it highlights how hard it is to actually do that. As Michael Lewis wrote in Moneyball: “ People in both fields operate with beliefs and biases. It’s like you’re running your own private Moneyball story.

It’s simply that I’m just fully invested in what those data sets are telling me, and the rewarding feeling that comes from making them sing. It’s not that I’m immersed in the visual side of the game – the in-match 3D renders are primitive and otherwise it’s a case of wading through spreadsheet after spreadsheet. The fact I want to repeat that journey is another reason that I keep playing these games (I’ve never come close since). A few Football Manager titles ago, I managed to take a minnow from the lowest level of competition and get them into the EPL itself, and its testament to the storytelling quality of Football Manager Touch that I remember that journey more clearly than almost any other game I’ve ever played.
FOOTBALL MANAGER 2021 SWITCH REVIEW FULL
Play well and you’ll find your team winning competitions or even promoted to the next level of competition (especially if you play the English competition, which goes deep into the lower-level leagues and has the full promotion/demotion system in place). Football Manager Touch 2021 brings the social media elements right to the foreground, with the fake Twitter stream telling you just what the fans think of your performance as a manager with every match. In practice, he’s a line of text on the screen, a page of statistics, and a really low-quality profile image, but you’re going to really care that that block of data isn’t delivering. You’ll find yourself getting frustrated that your star striker is going match after match without a goal. Carefully structuring a team around your preferred tactics, watching your decisions play out on the field of battle, but having no direct control over the action on the pitch is a surprisingly narrative-driven experience. FIFA lets you live the dream of playing football, but Football Manager lets you take ownership of your favourite team. The obvious reason first: running a football club is for so many of us a dream. So why do I find Football Manager so compelling? That is despite each title being a very genuine spreadsheet simulator, and I hate spreadsheets.
FOOTBALL MANAGER 2021 SWITCH REVIEW DOWNLOAD
Every year without fail these things land on the eshop, and every year I download that year’s edition, deal with its (many) rough edges, and end up spending hundreds of hours lost into its intricacies. The three previous titles on Nintendo Switch are all inside my top 20 in terms of total hours playtime on the console.
At this point, I think that I’ve been fully Stockholm Syndromed into Football Manager Touch.
