Don't listen to the reviews on Steam mate, majority of them were from Chinese people as they had a problem with the game, not sure what but they all slated the game on steam.SirStoneyOfBow wrote:I was interesting in buying this but the overwhelming negative reviews on Steam has put me off. Only 1 in 5 is a good one.
I haven't played a Champ/Football Manager game in many years but I'd love to get back into them... I'm wondering if it's worth the $38.
The game has changed a lot if you haven't played it in years, it's certainly a lot more brutal, if the AI finds a weakness in your tactics it will exploit it drastically,trying to find the weakness can be annoying, you really need to look at the reports/analysis to find out where it went wrong and unlike it previous versions, there is no super tactic that you can use to win everything, sooner or later the AI will realise the way you play and will counteract it but the game now gives an option to train 3 tactics you can easily switch between so you don't become too predictable.
It's a good game, well worth the money as you'll certainly get plenty of hours out of it, you can download a demo on steam, give it a go, any game that you start on the demo can be carried on if you do buy the game outright.
You can also pick it up for £18 from Tesco http://www.tesco.com/direct/football-ma ... rce=others" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
