Sega & Sports Interactive - Football Manager 24
I've noticed that Sports Interactive doesn't have a Trustpilot page, so my review will take place here. I've sent a few emails to Sports Interactive regarding how poor Football Manager 24 is. They've rudely never responded to my emails. It's an absolutely shocking game and a complete rip off to customers. We should all get our money back, I'd say the game is of that poor a standard. My tactics are very simple in this game, even footballers of the lowest intelligence would be able to understand and work with what I've instructed in the game. I play with a very aggressive attacking 442 Gegenpressing (customised) tactic. I've used for this many years of playing FM. In the console version of FM23, I won a ridiculous amount of trophies at all levels with this tactic, very exciting football. In FM24, I find the game to be totally unrealistic. The game AI can't seem to grasp the basic understanding of aggressive pressing, winning back possession and then counter attacking with goals at the end of it. I've noticed very few highlights are happening, when there should be loads with the teams that I'm managing, completely dominating teams. This just isn't the case. The players keep losing possession often. 1-3 weeks, we'll win consistently, in the next breath, we'll lose consistently and sometimes with unrealistic heavy defeats. The transfer system is almost impossible to get decent players in. Even then, no matter what I do, double intensive training levels with the players etc, they just don't get it. I've spent most of my time throwing the water bottle at half and full time at the end of each match because the simple and basic mentality of every game needs to be won wasn't being understood. I don't play Football Manager to lose games. I've put a lot of dedicated hours into this game. Playing PC games should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Yes, it should be challenging, but I can't work with the impossible. This has left with me with a deflated feeling. I hope that FM 26 will be up to standard, especially with FM25 being cancelled last year. I'm very unhappy with my FM24 gaming experience.
