I have witnessed some negativity from our beloved Football Manager YouTube Content Creators of late and I would not presume to form an opinion on FM23 until I'd firstly been reliably informed by my own experience.
However, I do purchase every other edition of Football Manager; i.e. FM15, FM17, FM19, FM21 and now FM23, thus allowing me to give my first-impression of FM23 having almost drowned in my own attention to the minutiae haphazardly organised in FM21.
Thanks Sports Interactive. I'm so relieved that the franchise has rediscovered the balance that it always strives to achieve between FM's depth/detail and precision/performance which has led me to recapture the love that I could never lose, not to mention the exhilaration which precedes seeing far more sunrises in a calendar year than is truly healthy for a 40 year-old Dad.
