our One More Life podcast<\/a> (the episode will be out on Wednesday), he mentioned that the final game of an era \u2014 like this one \u2014 often ends up as a fan favourite instalment that players stick with for the long term.<\/p>\nFarley even went so far as to call FM24 a \u2018love letter\u2019 to this era of the series. And now that we\u2019ve had a chance to play it at length, we\u2019re pleased to report that we think this love letter will be pretty well received by the fans.<\/p>
The bones of the game are very much still what you\u2019d expect. Your inbox will fill up with transfer requests, press queries and injury updates. Your team selection process will no doubt cause headaches and p*ss some players off. Your board confidence will rise and fall based on your results and targets, with the threat of the sack always looming overhead (or is that just for me?).<\/p>\n
At its core, this remains a very fun way for football fans to spend their spare time. If you\u2019ve ever looked at your beloved team\u2019s dwindling form in real life, and wished they\u2019d signed the player you wanted or lumped for your preferred formation, FM is still the best way we know of in which to scratch that tactical itch.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just as addictive ever, in fact, even if more casual armchair experts might prefer to play the simplified Console, Touch or Mobile versions at this point. There\u2019s no denying that the main PC version of the game is an absolute juggernaut in terms of depth, details and databases. For some players, this might be too much. But for others? Well, this is the good stuff.<\/p>
