Well the biggest and best is back! But is this still the best? Upon inserting the disk you go through all of the usual installation and sit getting the buzz waiting for the game to finish installation and finally let you set about tearing apart and re-shaping your team but with this new version you do have to go through Steam (an online installation and registration system) so the buzz wears down to a frustration...the biggest thing about this is not to get frustrated and stick with it as once you are passed all of this then you get into what is a very impressive game. The teams are once again in-depth with the new 3D view a real improvement as you get a chance to see the tactical changes you made to your team actually make a difference on the pitch. I have been impressed with all aspects of this game from the transfer system, player interaction, media interaction, tactics available, staff, training, etc with all of these things managing to once again continue with the huge depth that has made Football Manager the market leader in the football managing genre. So...is it still the best??? Well this is always going to come down to the individual person and their choice but if you stick at it and get used to the new developments you appreciate it more and more and see how fantastic the small improvements really are. If you are willing to sit and make notes on tactics, players, training and all other areas then you will get the most out of the game and should see your team progress and develop.
