From here you use the d-pad to navigate within a zone and various buttons to change settings or confirm choices. The left analogue stick acts as a way to switch between zones on the display, a purple outline showing which zone you are focused on. All simple enough, but the meat of the menus, the stuff that covers the bulk of the game screen, requires a bit more fiddling around. Moving forward in time (or through items of note) is all handled with RT, while a tab system of sorts can be cycled through with the shoulder buttons. With a controller rather than a mouse (or a touch screen), there were also going to be quirks, and the initial hour or so I spent with the game proved to be a little clunky. It is these menus, and general navigation, that present the biggest stumbling blocks for players keen to give FM a go on Xbox. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Here you can breeze through matches faster, although there's still depth there should you look for it in menus. For those not in the know, the full-fat FM experience can take hours, if not days, simply to make it through pre-season.

It feels like the whole world can see how bad I am - and not just at using the controller to navigate.įirst things first, Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition (I played on Xbox Series X) is based on the Touch version, which is the more streamlined game that is designed to get you through seasons quicker than in the standard game, and the version that's appeared on Switch and tablets for a few years now. Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition feels different. It always felt a bit isolating and underground, like I was conducting illegal deals as I clicked and clicked and clicked my way through tactics, training, transfers and all the rest, before praying to Martin Jol or whoever was the Spurs manager at the time as I started a match. My memories of playing Football Manager over the years are primarily of being hunched over a laptop, shouting expletives at AI players while mostly under the cover of darkness.

If you want to play Football Manager, then the PC version is the way to go, but Football Manager 2021 Xbox edition will still get its hooks into you.
