Bizarrely lots of negative reviews on Steam. Will use the free trial to decide whether to buy or not later.

That's because it's pretty much the same game as the last 3 or 4 iterations, aside from the attribute tweaks and transfers. Lazy developers cashing in on brand and lack of competition.

I've put in 150 hours since Xmas, it's literally been just squad updates since the proper 3d engine was brought in. I was gifted it for Xmas from someone who got it cheap so was more than happy to accept. It's still a great game but understand the hate due to nothing really being changed. I recommend trying it for free

Yeah I will only buy it after it goes on sale now, managed to get it from my local football team shop for £10 and after skipping last years I'm really enjoying it nut nothing much has really changed

Used to play it years ago but with time issues I now just stick to console gaming. I could still enjoy it though and had a mobile version a couple of years back.

Heat added. Seem to remember reviews saying this was very similar to FM2016 when it first came out but no harm in trying for free.

Ah ok. I've been playing this pretty much every year and have seen small gradual improvements over time. However the golden age of the franchise was back when they had no 3D engine. Think it was Championship Manager 2001/2002 season when you had Mark Kerr, Julio Arca, Tonton Zola Moukoko, Isaak Okoronkwo and Cherno Samba as cheapy must-buy players to improve any team you managed.
Anyway downloaded this version now. Will try later on.

I bought it a couple of months ago for £15, I have since put 50 hours in to it and have only just finished my first season :sunglasses:
