After a bit of a letdown last year, Football Manager 2024 gives new life to a storied franchise. As far as management simulators go, Football Manager 2024 remains among the absolute best of them.

Football Manager 2024 is a return to being one of the very best football games and sims you can find. The set pieces add another dimension to gameplay, and the inconsistencies from last year's games have all been ironed out to make a complete entry to the series.

There’s not much else to say in this review. The big feature in Football Manager 2024 is the inclusion of Japanese football. That alone makes this version of the game the definitive edition. Putting that aside the rest of the game is another decent refinement to the best sporting management game of all time, and while it sometimes feels like Sports Interactive rests on its laurels, as no one else is ever going to have the engine or data to compete in this particular niche, the reality is that when the base game is this good, tweaks from one year to the next are enough.

‍Football Manager 2024 is a fitting end to this cycle of the series. However, it is showing its age in its current guise. Next year will be telling, but until then, especially if you’ve not played in a while, Football Manager 2024 is a great way to celebrate 20 years.

How often have you watched a football game and gotten upset because you didn’t agree with the club’s strategy? Do you find yourself disagreeing with a club’s decision to loan or sell a player? With Football Manager 2024, you get to make the managerial decisions that you believe will lead your club to glory. Or you learn the hard way that just because you think a decision is right for the club, doesn’t mean it will be.

Football Manager 2024, however, promised much more. It promised better AI, better match engine, better set pieces, better everything, but delivered a big bag of nothing disguised as something.

Its improvements might be slightly overshadowed by the more extensive overhaul coming next year, but this latest and last iteration brings the best version of its match engine yet, a superbly refined set-piece creator, and, finally, the ability to transfer your saves.
