Football Manager 2020

Greatest FM ever. Too expensive however

TLDR: 7.8/10 - WORTH buying, but NOT a MUST BUY.
___
*UPDATE (20/11/19 125hrs played)* So finished my 5th season with United, I've basically won every trophy this season, however I did get incredibly lucky in the UCL Semis where I beat City on Aggregate 1-0 (with a total of 3shots over 2 games) woops. Did some major changes to my squad, SOLD Pogba, Martial, Maguire, Fred and Costa, to fund my BUYS J Felix, Haaland, Marquinhos, Aouar, R Neves and Donnarumma. Massive changes to structure, but hope things go well in my 6th season. (After this season, i'm starting a fresh save)
Despite my steam hours being limited, trust me, I've collected more than 1,500hrs in each FM that comes out each year(from fm10-19) (Yea probably need a life).
Pros:
+ Development Centre (very interesting)
+ Tactics depth increased
+ Board expectation and happiness depth increase
+ SLIGHTLY improved AI and sims.
+ Staff information slight change, but gives a nice feel
+ Better interactions and fluidity in managing the team
+ ***Expect the same as you've always gotten (more or less)
Cons:
- No game changing updates
- Nothing ground breaking
- Match Engine still far from 'Perfect'
- 3D Rendering of your face is still crap
- PES has ruined Juventus (but just wait for the usual Workshop fixes)
- ***Expect the same as you've always gotten (more or less)
I mean, I buy the game in support of the developers for all the years and hours of fun it's given me. So i've already grown to know what to expect as each year goes by. Its the same game, its just refreshed, squads updated, and some small nice additions. The development center seems to be a very nice addition to the game, however i'm not deep enough into the game to warrant a full conclusion on how it really performs.
This year they've done a decent job in sorting the game out, nothing ground breaking, nothing overzealous, just simple and what you need. Look, this year its again a simple facelift plus some. The addition of a handful of small new features, and the big addition of the development center, its good. Thats it. Expect the game to be as how it always has been.
However I believe there is an issue with one-on-ones at the moment, seem to miss too many or hit them directly at the keeper. Maybe its just my poor forwards, no clue, have to keep monitoring.
POST-BETA Changes, are really minute, match engine tweaks have been a LITTLE BIT better, but still far from perfect. Still dislike the 1-on-1 failures and shooting from impossible acute angles. But its better than the start of BETA.
Verdict:
7.8/10 Its good as always, but nothing that jumps at you as a MUST BUY series. Good game as always nonetheless.
Thanks if you managed to read this far.

Good game,but you got to make a discount.The price is too high for a game which released 4 months ago!

Every year we see improvements here and there, this year that's not an exception. Although still far from perfect, the 3D engine and graphics were improved, small tweaks through out the entire game and interface, more tactical response from the players in the pitch, improved relationships and the biggest focus for this new edition: The youth prospects and the future of your club and carreer. Now the club's objectives are set on a more accurate and demanding way and the young players are really taken into consideration regarding the next few years. It's fair to, somehow, say that this new edition is "more of the same", but in the end it's refreshing and its changes are enough to renew our desire and hunger to keep playing year after year this amazing game. I play since the very first edition back in the 90's, every year I spend long hours playing. I was a teenager by that time and I'm a 41 years old married father today. I never get fed up of this game, no matter what.

Beware...you might never leave your house.
Oh wait. That's the point ain't it?

PLEASE put a discount on for this time of need. I LOVE Football Manager but with issues with money because of COVID19, its extremely expensive.

I think there's a lot more to come from you and I completely believe you've got what it takes.
