Explained simply
Football Manager is a football management simulation series in which players take charge of a club, making decisions about tactics, training, transfers and team selection. Saves are ongoing careers, so decisions and results build up over multiple seasons.
The game is developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega. Its annual releases attract players who follow real-world clubs and leagues, as well as those who enjoy managing a team over the long term.
Access periods let players try a new edition before its full launch. Whether progress carries over matters to players who want to begin a career early without having to start again when the complete game becomes available.
