Fun:   
As a longtime FIFA player and avid Premier League follower, I felt I knew the game as well as anybody. I had heard about this game, enormously popular in Europe, called Football Manager 11. A friend told me it was the "ultimate football sim", in his words. I didn't believe the hype. "I can't control the players?" I asked, and he nodded his head. He promised I would be more satisfied, with this game than almost every other.

So, after a few nudges, I downloaded the trial from Steam. Then I bought the game. And now, like millions of others across the world, I am hopelessly addicted to a football simulator. So much so that I had to write this review simply to clue in more people about the best way to destroy hours of your life.

Introductory points on Football Manager 11:
* You play the role of a football manager in a day to day, turn based system. Pick your team and hit continue and watch the options unfold.
* "Playing" the game primarily consists of several key actions: Buying / selling players, setting training schedules, setting formations, and interacting with the players and press.
* After you pick your Starting 11 + subs and motivate them to play their little hearts out, a match simulator begins with a 3d engine. Each of your players 40 "traits" or "stats" come into play as the match unfolds. From the sideline you can bark orders and at halftime you can encourage, praise, or insult your players, based on performance.
* This "hands off" nature of the game provides great satisfaction. When your 19 year old defender scores 4 goals, all headers from set pieces, you can sit there praising your own foresight in training his heading skill up to 16.
* Almost every league in the world is available to play. This includes La Liga, MLS, Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga, K-League, Mexican Premiera Division, etc. All divisions have their fun and playing in the lower leagues might be more enjoyable than the top ones!
* This game is endlessly replayable. You will love it, your girlfriend will hate it.

Now I don't just believe the hype, I promote it. Pick up this game if you want to see if you can be a better manager than any of the greats or better than that current deadbeat in your favorite team. When the game starts throwing snarky comments about how addicted you are, take them with a grain of salt: They are probably right. So don't forget about that pizza in the oven or your laundry, play this game.

Great Game!!! January 6, 2011
By Dave C
Platform for Display:PC/Mac/Linux/Unix
Fun:   
I am a sports nut but know little about soccer tactics. With that said, this game is easily my favorite. It simulates running a team brilliantly to the point where you get attached to the little representations of your players running across the pitch.

To me a sign of a good game is taking something that I may not be normally interested in and turning it into something that I can't get enough of. This games accomplishes that.

I recommend it to anyone that is a sports fan or anyone that is a gamer. If you are a soccer nut there is not much that I can tell you as you probably already know all about this franchise. You don't have to be a soccer nut to like this game and I am a classic example of that.

Fun:   
I grew up playing the championship manager series of games and had not played them for a while because they were not easily available in the US. I was surprised when I found out that Amazon was selling the Football Manager 11 and after some research found out that this the series you want if you are into football simulation.

The game is great with tons of data and many more leagues than I would care for. It is not as buggy as someone had said here. I ran into some issue where after a few seasons, the game does not recognize the home grown players correctly but you get around it by going on vacation for a day.

The only problem is that is becomes very addictive and I ended spending way too much time on it. I finally had to uninstall the game to get over the addiction. I plan to hang on to the game however so I can play it again when I have more time.
