Management sims, and especially sports management sims, have always been my bag. I've won National Championships in the old EA NCAA games, started a expansion team in 2K, and even had CM Punk retire due to a drug addiction in one of my many fake wrestling promotions. But nothing compares to the stories that have come from the various iterations of Football Manager.
Part of it is simply how complex soccer is. There are hundreds of leagues and thousands of players. And the game itself can be very complicated. A player who is amazing in one scheme can be dogshit in another. Even egos and personality types come into play -- I distinctly remember one Liverpool save where I bought Harry Kane and it caused my whole team to mutiny.
Sports games all come with management modes now, but compared to the depth of Football Manager it's like the difference between swimming in the deep end and wading in a kiddie pool. It's not for everyone but if this is your type of game it doesn't get better than this.

Difficult to master but can create real tension hoping for that late equalizer or winner. Fun to play in any division.

It is the 53rd minute of the game in the Stadio Olympico, and Gustavo Rey starts one of his trademark runs on the right. He crosses the ball to Van der Velde on the left, who makes a direct pass towards the penalty area. Jardel Nascimento is there, and with a powerful shot, he sends the ball into Barcelona's net.
Billericay Town would go on to score two more goals in this Final, eventually winning their first Champions League trophy.
First of the many to come in the following years, making them one of the most decorated Football Clubs of our time.
During the Covid 19 quarantines, I was a free man.

The obscene amount of hours are somewhat skewed because I left the game open on my macbook for over a year straight lol. Not that I haven't also played over 20 seasons...

What a great game honestly. Spent almost 350 hours on it - still not bored.
