FIFA Manager 11

FIFA Manager 11 is a version of the coaching simulator in which the developers continued to deepen club life. In addition to the usual tasks of a manager - squad, tactics, training, transfers, academy and stadium - the financial side of the game is especially detailed: sponsors, ticket sales and paraphernalia, as well as infrastructure construction. Running a club without constant cost control is bad. Additionally, the game has a system of personal relationships within the team: the mood of the players, their requirements for playing time and reaction to the coach’s decisions affect the result. Players do not like to sit on the bench, and dissatisfaction with leading players quickly turns into problems on the field and in the press. Matches can be watched in volume or analyzed episode by episode, and tactical schemes and instructions allow you to set the team the desired style. In addition to the men's championships, the game features women's divisions, which was a rarity for those years and added unexpected depth to the project. What’s especially pleasing is the opportunity to conduct business not only on the field: negotiations with the board of directors, work with fans and the construction of a training base affect the club’s reputation. A youth academy requires investment and time, but with the right approach it pays off in spades. For those who like to plan years in advance, there is plenty of material here. The game is one of those projects that live on the computer for years: here you can lead a club through a dozen seasons and each time find new reasons for irritation and joy. For manager lovers, this is a solid option.
