Football manager 2018 is actually the football manager that changes everything. I mean it’s been 2 years since the release of the game, but I decided to write this review because wot was this game, that gave the game a turn. They introduced a new formation system, and other cool stuff that I sadly can’t remember. But I mean as a fan of the series, I think football manager 2018 is number 1.

The review is going to be simple it's the same game as FM 17 with just a few cool additions (the tactical screen improved with notably a zone system, the group cohesion system as well as more realistic prices on transfers), the flaws are the same, this bonus year the guards are more rinsed than ever and are unable to stop hitting the ground which gives scores worthy of a tennis set even when playing with defensive formats. Added to CA a number of monstrous bugs and players who do not follow the instructions. And the devs/editors (I don't know who pulled this out), we come out that the game is not far from perfection and add a lot of useless stuff (social networks which we saw all messages after 3 days for the previous year , gay players and the Medical Center this year) while the game engine has stalled for years, prepare to have the strikerless formations walking the Thunder like last year saw how bad the scorers are.
I'm not going to talk about the beta not even playable this year (they tend to confuse alpha and beta, but there it was more of a draft than anything else).
Finally I can copy and paste my review of the 17, I am a good pigeon, every year I tell myself that I will not buy the sequel to throw me on Finally, and fm18 had me particularly hyped because I felt that efforts had been made.
As usual if you have an earlier version go your way and if you do not possess any, the game is already well but is parasited by the abyssal laziness of the team behind.
Edit: after playing it enough to judge the game in depth do not buy this game, it is even worse than I thought, if you have never played a license game buy the 2017 that was not infame. Never seen an Edition so scripted/bugged. We take at least 1 goal on kick stopped per game (sometimes it's a gag I took 4/5) even by working the defensive kicks and putting more people behind. The goal counter is crappy, 3 goals against his side of an opposing player while he is not even in action. The ups and downs feel even more than under the old versions. Players are unhappy for nothing, play with a team or there are many loyal players is impossible (when the professionals stay more than 5 years at the club they will, so impossible to play with guingamp, Bilbao...) knowing that when a leader grumps you will forced to have a disgusting morale in the locker room. I even have a player who asked to leave the Club to have a new challenge literally 1 month after signing a new contract........
I never thought I'd do something like that but I no longer touch the 2018, I go back to the 2017, and the developers are well you.... (no ban)
