Frustrated football fans make the best football managers. Well, we don’t have any real evidence to back that up yet, except for the number of people who go on to play Football Manager whenever their team suffers a huge loss and they blame the manager. Now one of the best and biggest football mobile games is back, better than ever, and it now has support for high-end Android tablets. Welcome to the world of Football Manager Classic 2015.
Now what makes the FMC15 different from the Football Manager Handheld 2015 (FMH15) which was released late last year? Well, for one thing, the new version features 51 nations and 117 leagues from all over the world, as compared to the 14 countries and 35 leagues from the older version. There are also now approximately 150,000 in their player database (FMH15 only has 35,000). It also supports more languages now and can have either 3D or 2D in the match engine (depending on what you’re in the mood for).
Two new features that FMC15 offers is the Player Training mode (optional) and the Instant Result Match Plan. Training is where you get to take charge of their day-to-day training, including setting focus, routines for individual players, and also their rest days as well. But if you feel like you’re too busy for all that, you can delegate training to the Assistant Manager. The Instant Result lets you get straight to the end of the game after you’ve already set the strategy that your team will follow. It will help accelerate your progress, but it might rob you of the joy of seeing your team in action.
Other features in FMC15 include Global Player Scouting, the ability to interact with your staff, the players and even the media, controlling the club’s day-to-day management, and playing the Challenge Mode where you get to test your management skills with smaller challenges.
