To fulfill these goals, we have to take care of virtually all aspects of a club’s activities. Our responsibilities include recruiting players, setting training plans and creating tactics for matches that we can watch thanks to the three-dimensional engine. We also have to take care of public relations, acquire sponsors, sell players to other clubs, manage the stadium, and oversee the club’s budget.

Gaming Nexus: 8.5 / 10 by Russell Archey

Football Manager 2017 is an excellent soccer management simulation game for the bigger soccer fans, but causal fans or those who only watch a game here or there might find things a bit complex.  That’s not a bad thing as the game is pretty deep in what you can do and manage at any point, but it can be a bit intimidating you don’t usually play any other soccer video games where you have to do just the basic management functions for your team.  If you’re unsure, definitely check out the demo first.

GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Richard Wakeling

Football Manager 2017 is not a game of revolution, but one of refinement. Transfers are smarter and more involved, and the faster player development and the aforementioned streamlining of information are welcome. The perennial strengths of Football Manager are stronger than ever, yet it’s the furtive improvements to the match engine that really set Football Manager 2017 apart from its immediate predecessor.

TheSixthAxis: 10 / 10 by Aran Suddi

Football Manager players know what kind of a hold the games get on you. One minute you’re starting a new game, and then you realise hours have passed and you’re shouting at your players to score so they can secure a place in the next round of a cup. Football Manager 2017 is a major step up from last year’s entry, has even more detail in it, and doesn’t relax its grip on players. You’ll smile as your team thumps another, feel miffed when your team loses to weaker opposition, and swear you’ll never play again when you get fired for the team’s poor performance. Yet the new career option tempts you and the cycle begins anew. Football Manager 2017 isn’t just a simulation game, but something that will permeate your life.
