Football Manager 2010

Martin Korda cancels his life and heads pitch side...

Managing expectations...

Champ or chump?

"The core gameplay is unchanged. You start in control of your chosen club as the pre-season kicks off, and then have to set about managing your squad through the upcoming seasons. First off you have the option of watching your squad play a training match so you get a handle on both the players and, if you're new to the game, the match day controls and nuances. Your assistant manager helps via useful pop-ups to guide you through the nuances of player interaction, and can even pick your team and set the formation for you if you're feeling a little lost."

"We've spent the last few weeks playing the life out of Football Manager and our considered opinion is that - and this is a sentence we never thought we'd write - FM2010 is a sexy little minx of a football manager game. "
