Critic Reviews
- Ultimately then, you're going to need a little bit of patience with Football Manager 2021: Xbox Edition, whether you're brand-new to the series or a PC player looking to transition to console, but once you've spent a few hours with it, the control scheme becomes much easier to wield.
Fraser Gilbert · Mar 04, 2021 Reviewed onRead full review - Football Manager 2021 has done something that great managers do: it has acknowledged its weaknesses and improved upon them without completely rocking the boat. It still feels truly familiar as a Football Manager game, but the overhaul to expectations and communication makes for a more coherent and impactful experience.
Robert Gammon · Dec 17, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Although Football Manager 21 isn’t as in-depth on Xbox Series X as it is on PC, it manages to provide a fun and engaging management simulator that has been sorely missing from consoles for some time.
Nathan Gibson · Dec 11, 2020 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The experience of playing Football Manager on my living room TV really makes a difference – the whole thing feels more premium. I will always be a full-fat version of the game kinda guy, but that doesn’t take away from the fact the Sports Interactive have done a great job at making a Football Manager sim accessible to people who don’t want to search the Ecuadorean 3rd division to find the next wonder kid.
Ross Mitchell · Dec 07, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - All of which is to say, Football Manager 2021 is perhaps one of the best games in the series in a long time. It strikes the balance between accessibility and mind-boggling complexity better than the series ever has, the quality of life improvements it makes mostly work out very well, and the more noticeable improvements – such as the enhanced interactions and the improved match engine – are important step ups from previous games in the series.
Shubhankar Parijat · Nov 24, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - A noticeable improvement over last year's installment. Football Manager 2021 addresses many of my personal peeves with the series whilst keeping the core design philosophy of the franchise intact. However, it is lacking a little in the way of new game-changing features and the few added haven't been implemented too well.
Kurt Perry · Nov 23, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - For another year, then, Sports Interactive somehow makes a compelling case to go back to the franchise you probably spent 500 hours on last year. The differences might look subtle to an outsider, but they change your decision-making on a profound level. Even though it’s more of a slog than ever to clear your inbox every week, FM21 continues its winning streak.
Phil Iwaniuk · Nov 23, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Football Manager 2021 is by far the closest representation to the beautiful game you can find. With an improved matchday engine, improved AI and even more datapoints than ever before, all represented in a more digestible method, making it more accessible than ever before.
Chris Wray · Nov 23, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Football Manager 2021 combines the best elements of previous games and undergoes a dramatic improvement that cuts deeper than the superficial. It’s heavy, detailed, and been given a new texture by a more personal take on management.
Miri Teixeira · Jan 18, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Overall though, Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is a very good management sim and a viable option for anyone who spends more time on an Xbox than a PC. Performance-wise it runs well on the Series X and the whole layout is brilliantly designed from a visual standpoint.
