It’s a must-play, the perfect next step for existing FM fanatics, and the ideal place to start if you’ve never dipped your toe in the deep end of management simulations. You’ll be able to get started easily and stop playing after just one more game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to lose 6-1 to Liverpool in a failed attempt to implement a Gegenpress at Reading FC.

The feeling is that Sports Interactive wanted to perfect everything that was already working, trying to put a nice patch on what was wrong and postponing the innovations / revolutions to the post pandemic. It remains, however, the best football managerial simulation on the planet.

Don’t go into Football Manager 2022 hoping for great presentation or spectacular graphics, for you’re not gonna get it. No, this is more like „Looking at Excel Sheets: The Game“, but for what it is worth, it excels at that (pun very much intended). It’s complex, it’s slow, but if you find your way into it, it is also extremely satisfying once you get the hang of it.

Football Manager 2022 is a further step for the improvement of the series, which in terms of offer and managerial experience now seems saturated. The innovations compared to the previous edition are small and marginal, both in terms of content and improvements to the match engine.

Es continuista para lo bueno y lo malo. Como siempre va mejorando detalles en distintos aspectos, este año en concreto mejoran bastante las animaciones durante los partidos. Y meten alguna función nueva como el centro de datos, que ha sido elogiado pero personalmente lo suelo ignorar.
Quitando las novedades es lo mismo de siempre y eso es genial. Además este año ha salido en gamepass…

Not just a copy at last — Football Manager 2022 review
November 9, 2021 will see the release of Football Manager 2022, the new installment in the iconic football management simulation series. In the previous version of the game, I spent about 1.5 thousand hours and never regretted it — football occupies the second most important place in my heart after family (Cybersport.ru is also nearby — in third!).
The Football Manager series is a hegemon in the genre of football management, and there is simply no real competitor today. I managed to play a little less than a hundred hours in the journalist version of Football Manager 2022 and play three full seasons for different teams. I will not describe the worn-out functionality that wanders between games in the series from year to year, but I will talk about new features — in the end, it is on the basis of them that many fans of the series decide whether to buy a new part. Let’s see what the developers have added this time, and answer the key question: is it worth taking to the Football Manager 2022 collection?
3D Matches
If you’ve been using any of the older versions of Football Manager for a long time, then the updated 3D match engine is exactly what makes it worth buying a new version of the game. Yes, outwardly the picture remained at the level of FIFA 05, but this is not the main thing in FM. The main thing you should pay attention to is the physics of the players’ behavior. Dribbling, handling, dribbling, passing, shooting on goal — everything looks very cool compared to previous versions. If you play for PSG, then the conditional Mbappe will delight you with his branded spins. I will say more: if you look closely, you will see how a football player puts his ankle when passing or hitting. At the same time, the funny behavior of the players has not gone away, I’ll hide a few of these moments below under the spoiler.
This is how you play in front of an empty net
I also want to note the changes in the VAR system for the better. If in Football Manager 2021 it only canceled goals or other refereeing decisions because of it, then this year everything looks pretty balanced. I played a number of matches with replays as a test and was impressed: if the player was really offside, after watching the VAR, the referee will make an appropriate decision. In general, there are shifts, and significant ones, and this time even in the right direction.
Deadline Day and transfers
The transfer window closing day has been completely redesigned. If in previous versions of the game we were simply provided with tables with completed transactions, now everything is designed completely differently. Yes, the list of transfers remains, but in addition to this, we are given information about rumors, who wants to sign whom, and also show pending transactions that are at the stage of discussion of the first proposal. It has become easier to track interest in your players from other clubs and benefit from the sale of players whose contracts are ending soon. Thus, the developers have added more realism and drama to Deadline Day.

Handling what happens on the last day of the transfer window in Football Manager 2022
The transfer system in FM 2022 was not directly affected, so in this chapter I would like to say a few words about behavior artificial intelligence in the transfer market. The developer claims that he has significantly improved the AI logic in this aspect, but I did not notice any global changes. The structure works in the same way as in previous years — and, by the way, often correlates with reality. For example, Newcastle, which was bought by the sheikhs, spends a lot of money on mediocre players — the star will not go there until the club raises its reputation. The only thing that really shocked me was that Mbappe turned down both Real Madrid and Barcelona and moved to Liverpool. Nobody expects such a turn of events in real life. Perhaps the changes in AI would have been visible at an even longer distance, but after three seasons, this is not very believable.
The Sheikhs are really investing a lot of money in Newcastle
Data Hub
The team report has gone from a couple of charts and lines of text to an incredible section with functionality that will be useful to every manager. Of course, if you play Football Manager in the style of a drunk with tactics downloaded from the Internet, this section will not be of interest to you, but for everyone else . .. the developer has created a functionality that completely copies the reporting of analysts in real life. Managers can analyze the behavior of not only the team, but also individual players to determine the strengths and weaknesses that need to be developed in training. Updated charts will allow you to quickly identify problematic and effective areas of the team’s actions. And this is only a small part of the functionality that is presented in FM22.
What else? Our attention is presented to the detailed schedules of the actions of teams in attack and defense. You can find out not only how the players of your club play, but also how the opponents perform in matches against you, and even see the comparison of these indicators with the average in the league. A graph showing the direction of passes in the match will allow you to analyze the pattern of the team’s game and make the necessary adjustments. Going even deeper, you have the option to request an analytical report on any of the players and see the effectiveness of your tactics against other tactics and formations. But what I liked the most was all kinds of reviews and reports about the next opponent. General overview, performance graph, scout report and analytics, statistics in comparison with your team and past results not only between clubs but also between managers throughout your career. Real football clubs use similar statistics when analyzing the game — the football manager simulator is getting closer to reality.

Zebra, gray teams and Ajax
Regulars of the Football Manager series are used to the fact that before the installation of a custom fix, Juventus in the game is Zebra, and the German national team does not call up real players, and the staff there is fictional. This year, players for Ajax will have to put up with similar problems. Pleases at least the fact that they left the name and the players, but from the staff there will be only Edwin van der Sar as the sports director and the head physician of the club. Of course, this is a good reason to start a save for Ajax and build your empire from scratch, but when you see some incomprehensible no-names being appointed to the post of head coach, it brings sadness. On the official forum of the game, the developers apologized to gamers and attributed what was happening to the difficulties with licensing.
- updated 3D match engine
- updated Deadline Day interface
- new Data Hub section
- outdated transfer market AI behavior

Closer to reality
So is Football Manager 2022 worth buying? Definitely worth it! The game has become one step closer to the realities of football management. Yes, there are not so many changes, but this time they are really high quality. The revamped 3D match engine is a real joy to watch, and the Data Hub is a treasure trove of information to explore and explore.

Yes! Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord review
There is a type of game that takes up all your free time. It seems that he sat down in the evening, for a couple of hours, to drive the knights around the screen, as you find yourself with disheveled hair on your head and lips bitten from nerves in the middle of a castle siege. That’s what Bannerlord is all about — and it’s the most unique game of 2022 that has no equal.

Another shame Ubisoft for smartphones. Wild Arena Survivors Review
Ubisoft’s new game is the benchmark for effective management. Formally, the game is based on the “correct” foundation of the popular genre, which is accompanied by a bright picture, high-tech graphics, various characters, and a shareware distribution model. We even worked on the plot line. A lot of work has been done. But if the result of the work is a stinking pile, then what is the price of such work? However, cow cakes are good for fertilizer.
