However, unlike past sims that I’ve played, Football Manager 2017 gets pretty deep into what all goes on behind the scenes. Each day leading up to the first friendly match of the season will have you performing various tasks such as managing finances, doing a couple of press conferences, looking at various players for possible transfers, forming strategies, and responding to any incoming messages. If you’ve played other sports management simulation games then you should have a good idea as to what goes on prior to the first match of the season, or pre-season in this case. After that, it’s time to finally begin the pre-season. After that you’re still not done setting things up as you’ll have the chance to meet with your assistant coaches and set up some more preferences as to what you’ll control and what you wish to delegate to your assistants. After that you’ll further customize things by choosing what kind of coach you’ll be, either a more hands-on coach or one who tends to delegate most tasks to your assistant coaches while you work on the more tactical aspects of the game. When creating your manager this game goes a bit further than other games by not only gathering your info such as name, date of birth, hometown, the team you wish to coach, and so on, but also lets you customize what you’ll look like including the kind of suit you’ll wear and what it looks like. As with most sims that I review I went ahead and started a Career because since I have very little knowledge of soccer, trying to draft a fantasy team will only end up in complete failure. When you first start up the game you’ll have a few game modes to choose from including Career, Fantasy Draft where you can pick your own team and challenge friends online, Online Career which lets you start a career and have friends join you online, and Create a Club where you create your own team. While I’m not the biggest soccer fan, I’m up for just about anything so let’s take a look at Football Manager 2017. Then I realized that this isn’t American football, but rather Soccer. At first I was thinking that taking a football team to the playoffs can’t be quite as hard as a baseball team. However, I recently received the opportunity to redeem myself with Football Manager 2017. Granted I do know a lot about baseball, but very little about basketball so my run as a manager there was doomed from the start. While the games themselves are pretty good, they also proved that I’m terrible at running a sports team. Over the past few years I’ve taken a look at a few different sports management simulators, mostly consisting of the Out of the Park baseball series as well as Basketball Pro Management 2015.
