So what is this year's model offering? 100 new features. All things considered, I'm better off without it - you have more time on your hands, enabling you to embark on other arguably equally pointless pursuits.Īs such, when the annual update (and it is just an update) comes around, it's with a vague sense of superiority that I boot it up and scoff at its array of new features, all designed to lure me into its sick world. I gave up playing Football Manager (or Championship Manager, as was) years ago, following a wretched existence of meaningless campaigns that were a waste of life, the hours ticking by in a fetid existence of lower league survival.


It's Debatable What the biggest waste of time is: the annual Football Manager update or my annual review of it Seasoned readers will know what to expect: a denial that I'm addicted to the game, a list of new features, a whimsical tale that suggests that perhaps I am still slightly addicted, all topped off with a shiny conspiracy-theorist baiting 90% score and a reminder that it's still the best game of its type available to mankind.
