Reviews By Lawro's tash : Date 3 Dec 2009
I've been a massive fan of the series since I received the first game as an unexpected Christmas stocking filler in 2005. That said, I've been on a break from Football Manager since the 2008 release; the game was too easy and really didn't feel any different to the three releases that had come before it.

As a result, I didn't play FM 2009 and I think that's why I've been so blown away by 2010. I didn't have to suffer the glitchy, under-developed 3D match engine or go through the nightmare that is registering the game through Steam. All of which meant that by the time I'd installed FM 2010, I was looking at a game that HAD to be great; anything less, and SI's reputation would have taken a massive beating.

The first thing you notice is the game's layout.

Having played this seriers from CM2 onwards in to FM07, FM09 and now the latest incarnation I have to say that things have just got better and better. I know I'm experienced on these games now as when I first started by beloved Southampton were a Prem team and now sit in League One. This makes things more interesting now with promotion, ply offs, relegation plus JPT all on offer. I don't use the 3D engine due to an aged PC but this does not detract from the finest version of this classic game. the detail is unerring and once again it is easy to get mixed up between real world footy and FM events. The added details of loan fees and more adaptable tactics and team/players shouts from the bench add the matchday experience.

I'm not going to compare this to the latest CM offering, mainly because I haven't played the latest CM offering.

I've been playing the demo for a while now, but have started a new game having got the complete article this morning, I'm finding it hard to pick out any major criticisms, but my bones of contention are as follows:

1- The game skins it comes with, the light skin doesn't appeal to me, the dark skin is absolutely terrible. Of course that will change as people far more talented than me design new ones and stick them up for download in the usual places.

2- New navigation system. I still can't quite get to grips with it, however this will probably also change with time as I get used to it. I do miss my little side bar menu though.

3- Data editor. Not as user friendly as it could be, and having seen the demo I thought it would be possible to build your own standalone leagues. This doesn't appear to be the case, which is a dissapointment. Whilst I'm something of a purist, it would be nice to be able to build a superleague without having to worry about what obviously become meaningless European competition, but. . .

My accolades are as follows:

1- Data editor. Being a fan of a Ryman 1 South team, it is fantastic to be able to add the leagues into the game and manage my team properly, rather than bumping them up into the conference. Excellent.

2- 3D match display. This seems to run much smoother than in FM09, is more detailed (the stadia for example) and looks a lot better. Of course it doesn't look like FIFA, but then I wouldn't expect it to, it does the job a whole lot better than the previous incarnation.

3- Press conferences. They don't seem to be quite so repetitive.

4- Team talks. They seem to be tailored to the situation in hand, pre-season friendlies are an obvious example, and seem to be more subtle.

I've managed to install (off CD) without any issues this morning, even accounting for the slight delay in downloading the inevitable release day patch, certainly none of the disastrous faffing around with Steam last year.
