FIFA Manager 14

Becoming a general manager for one of the world's most famous soccer clubs is now accessible to anyone thanks to EA Sports and their latest game in the sports management simulation genre, FIFA Manager 14. Just like their other video games in the FIFA series, it's officially licensed, so you will get to see your favorite real football clubs and players. This is one aspect of the game that really makes it shine, as there are more than 35,000 players and 1,000 different clubs featured in it. No matter which ones are your favorites, there's a high chance that you will find them in this simulator.

The game has excellent quality graphics and visual elements, especially when you see the games playing out in front of your eyes. However, as it is a sports management simulator, you won't get to control the soccer players directly once they're on the pitch. However, you'll be making a variety of decisions that affect the performance of your team, such as buying and selling players, deploying a variety of tactics depending on who you'll be playing against, ensuring that your players get along well with each other and receive the training they need to reach their full potential and so on.

Compared to the previous releases in the FIFA Manager series, there are many more team and player options for you to control. The complexity of the game means that it's definitely not geared towards casual players, but rather soccer fans who already have at least some knowledge of how FIFA teams operate and have an interest in team management.

Pros

• Realistic graphics during match scenes.
• Lots of real-life teams and players featured.
