Such examples of this include the number of nations you can play in to only 12, of which only a maximum of 4 are playable at the same time. Like with the last game, SEGA have been forced to cut down on a number of things in order to adapt the title better for the handheld market. There’s also a small issue of content on offer here. This new feature is definitely one of the highlights of the new release, as it provides an interesting challenge to keep things interesting once you tire of career mode. This consists of 4 different Challenge scenarios for you to participate in, which range from missions saving a team currently involved in a relegation battle, having to deal with a team suddenly plagued by injury mid-season and being able to go the entire season unbeaten. While the main career mode hasn’t changed much at all, Sega have outdone themselves with the addition of the new Challenge mode. Fortunately, what was there before worked pretty well so it doesn’t harm the game, although it doesn’t do it many favours in the long run. This is a common issue amongst sports series unfortunately, especially for those which see yearly updates. Unsurprisingly, the core gameplay has been pretty much left intact from the original release. These are both quite useful features to the game, as a lot of people are unlikely to know who most of these players are and whether their in-game abilities match up well to the players in real-life. They will also begin to get annoyed with you if you make persistent requests on an issue however, so you have to time your requests right.Īlong the way, you’ll be guided by the Assistant team manager, who will do things like advise you when attempting to purchase players as to whether they’d be good additions to the team, good transfer targets, strongest players and more, alongside being able to set up scouts to help you find new team members. You will also be able to request things from the board, such as additional funds or stadium expansion but this will depend on a number of functions, such as funds currently going spare in your wage and transfer budget, alongside their level of satisfaction with your performance. This does amount to much more than simply winning matches, it includes a variety of factors such as your control over finances, team harmony, the quality of players you managed to obtain via transfers, which adds a good degree of realism to the game and will keep you pushing to get our team up to the highest standards. Throughout the game, you’re primary aim is survival, which is done by keeping your club’s Board of Directors happy. This doesn’t make the game any less fun though but rather, makes things more challenging and often enough, you’ll find it hard to put down the game after the end of a match and end up starting another. Unlike other major football series such as FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer, you do not possess direct control over the players in matches once they begin, you can only guide them through tactical changes and substitutions, leaving you grounded on the sidelines. Once you begin your career, you have the option of choosing to start unemployed and work your way up through the lower leagues or be given the choice of hundreds of different teams to choose from, from Manchester United to Basingstoke Town. Now we come to Football Manager Handheld 2012, Sega’s 2nd attempt at bringing the series to the iOS market and while several changes have been made to adjust the game for handheld devices, this still comes across as a solid simulation title that any football fan should own. Originally starting off in 1992 on the PC as the Championship Manager series by Eidos, followed by an eventual rechristening by Sega in 2005 to the name Football Manager, the simulation series placed a much greater emphasis on the role of a manager in football. Football Manager has been around for quite a long time now.
