It's not Sports Interactive's fault in particular that the industry culture has swayed towards greater acceptance of increasingly incremental releases. This is the central conflict for any studio working to an annual release cadence, of course, and nobody has an entirely satisfactory answer to it. They say football's a game of cliches, and by the time of FM23's arrival, one such cliche seems especially pertinent: familiarity breeds contempt. But even with revamped CL presentation and THAT song ( The Champiooons!) finding their way into this latest release, you can't help but feel like you're revisiting very well trodden ground by now when you topple PSG in the final. Tasting continental victory for the first time was pretty magical, once upon a time. This isn't just the 19th instalment of Football Manager since SI's split with Eidos, but also 30 years since the original Championship Manager debuted back in 1992. Of course, we've all had improbably illustrious careers as football managers by now.
FOOTBALL MANAGER 2023 ANDROID
Console edition for PS5, Xbox and Touch, Mobile and Arcade versions for Switch, Android and iOS coming soon. Availability: Out 8th November on PC, beta now for pre-orders.They mustn't have been able to believe their bloody luck. The enigma who never went more than a couple of seasons in three decades without a major trophy, in charge of the Shrimpers. The mercurial figurehead who ushered Newcastle to Premiership glory in 01-02, and then took Abramovic's dirty billions and turned them into a decade of Chelsea silverware. Yes, the very same Phil Iwaniuk who steered Parma to two Serie A titles and a Champions' League win in the mid '90s. The Vanarama National League's own Southend United had just appointed the most decorated manager of all time as their new boss. The news sent ripples through the footballing world. Football Manager is still the best sim of its kind, but FM23's serious lack of major improvements shows an annual release schedule taking its toll.
