Alright, how is it? Football manager 2023 in the eyes of the author? Before you buy it and play it, you can see revision Football manager 2023 below this.
1. Details and level of accuracy are maintained
The deadly tandem between Sports Interactive and SEGA has long been predicted to be successful because it is able to bring a simulation with a high level of detail. As far as the writer remembers, the history of this game is really very long, precisely since 1992 when they were still called Championship manager.
It wasn’t until 2004 that Sports Interactive separated from Eidos Interactive and formed a new coalition with SEGA to create Football coach 2005. Well, with detail and a high degree of accuracy, Football manager immediately transformed into a great football simulation so loved today.
Good, the above story can apparently still be kept up to this second. Football manager 2023 or FM 2023 it comes with so many details and game patterns that it still makes us feel at home to keep staring at the monitor. In general, FM 2023 it will still allow players to manage all things related to the soccer team.
Buying and selling players, managing employment contracts, dealing with superiors, interacting with the media, applying strategies and tactics on the pitch, managing training details of all players, can be done in this game. It still looks the same as the previous series, Football manager 2021 And Football manager 2022.
Managing and directing giant teams, such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and PSG, isn’t necessarily easy. On the other hand, taking a small team in the Scottish league or the Argentine league might be more challenging and exciting.
Money is still one of the most important things here. Wanting to buy and pay world-class players certainly requires a lot of resources. If you manage the finances of the club poorly, it is like plunging the club or team you manage to the brink of degradation, even bankruptcy.
Overall, if played previously Football manager 2021 And football manager 2022, perhaps this new series still looks the same.

Indeed, in the eyes of the author, Football manager 2023 identical impression Football manager 2022 and distinguished only by minimal changes.

One of the new features injected into Football manager 2023 this is a more detailed player recruitment system. Players will be given many options and inputs regarding the club’s vision or mission for the future. So obviously, existing inputs and options can be carefully considered before buying different players.
So, our responses and reactions as managers will also have a major impact on team harmony. According to the author, this feature is actually quite detailed in the previous two titles. Increasing impact on our decisions and responses as managers or coaches only limits our power in a club.
If you deal with young players who are still easy to educate, it’s not a problem. The problem is that players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne are very hard to beat with simple words of motivation. Other than that, the skill or level of patience of the players in this game also seems excessive.
So, you have to remember that your choice of words, motivation and warnings to players will lead them into situations that are not necessarily comfortable. What annoys me the most is, of course, their anger and childishness that leads to demands transfer list i.e. sales. This is one of the elements that writers dislike the most in several titles Football manager lately.
Luckily, the feedback from fans and viewers has also improved in this game. if turned on Football manager 2021 And Football manager 2022 the feedback seems very simple, it is made more detailed and unique on Football manager 2023.
You can clearly see how fans rate the club and players you manage. There is also a hierarchical division of fans, including fanatical or hardline fans, conventional fans, and “peaceful” or family fans. Good, The votes of fans in the media and on the board of directors count.
Public pressure like this can actually bring about two equally strong sides. On the one hand, the club and the players you train will obviously be close at hand when the fans love you at the club. However, on the other hand, it’s also very easy for us to get kicked when the club’s conditions vary and are not ideal in the eyes of the fans.
