While this is probably the weirdest and oddly nerve racking interview you’ll go through, theres no need to stress too much as it’s not a simple black and white decision. This is the much more hands on skipper when it comes to players training and development, or a ‘Tactical Manager’ with the more strategic mind, focusing simply on planning for the big game, which is every game if you’re a decent manager. You’ll then be asked whether or not you’ll be a ‘Tracksuit Manager’. Something which the game will press upon you at the very start of your career by asking you about your experience. The key to success in Football Manager 2015 is knowing your strengths and weaknesses as a manager. Well, as stunning as a spreadsheet can.Ĭontinuing the theme of working lean, Football Manager 2015 utilises a simple sidebar as its main method of navigating through possible actions, leaving everything no more than a click or two away and with much more information spread across your screen while still managing to look minimalistic. Perhaps to bring in more players who were put off by the sea of words or perhaps a reaction to the worlds apparently lowered attention span (Thanks Flappy Bird), whatever the reason, it looks stunning. While the core structure of the game stays the same, i.e ‘pick your team and do everything in your power to make them champions’ everything is a much more visual affair this time around, each players worth for example is represented by coloured icons, giving you an instant idea of their effectiveness in their current position.

Despite its simple premise, and the fact it looks like a revamped version of ceefax/teletext, Football Manager remains one of those confusingly addictive games that will weave its devious magic, to turn a quick 5 minutes into a long few hours.
