Football Manager 2015 is a soccer management simulator for the PC.
Soccer management games constitute a very odd, yet strangely popular, genre. These games are about building teams, making the right trades, and generally acting as the manager/owner of a football club. If you're a fan of the genre, Football Manager 2015 is a can't miss. This is the best iteration of the series, with better graphics, a better AI, and a much deeper selection of players. There's even a much friendlier user interface, which will help you to better command your team. This is as close to a perfect simulator as you are likely to find.
The only real issue with the game is that the learning curve is atrocious. It's going to take you a long time - and a few FAQs - to get a handle on how exactly you're supposed to play the game. There are other small issues that crop up - especially the lack of tuning for older PCs - but most of them really are small. The biggest problem that players have with this game is figuring out how to play it in the first place.
If you're looking for a good football management sim, this is the game for you. While there's a lot of ground you'll need to cover to be successful at the game, it's still the best product on the market. Everything about the 2015 version of the game is better than what came before, so don't worry if you have to suffer through a few losing seasons. Just consider your learning experience to be part of the game.
