Lol It's a soccer sim on Steam.

I've played a frick ton of FIFA over the last 8-9 years and my favorite thing was just building youth players and seeing how good they got and playing every game. But the Manager Mode was very bare bones and it only lasts 15 seasons.

Football Manager is a game where you literally can take care of every job an actual soccer manager deals with. It's more of a massive spreadsheet than a game though. You build your team, improve and choose your tactics, but come game time, you don't actually play lol.

It's a sim that uses a longtime established algorithm to determine the game's result. Like you watch your players play the game and can speak to them, urge them on, change formations, make subs, but you are reliant on you making the right decisions for the players - So essentially, it isn't for everyone. This is the first year I've played. Bought it almost two weeks ago and I have 70 hours or so logged according to Steam haha.

I'm addicted.

EDIT: I also don't think the game ever ends. Regardless, a season takes for fricking ever to complete. Through all of those hours, I've completed two seasons
