You are now allowed to take inductions to help new players get to grips with some of the finer complexities of managerial life, but much of the real micromanagement is still missing and, while Football Manager 2019 introduces VAR into the match engine, it’s noticeably absent here in the Touch version. Selectable elements are still too small to actually make use of the ‘touch’ functionality (more on that later), and because of the considerable amount of options available to you, many of the menus are once again hidden and accessed by using the shoulder buttons on the Joy-cons.

Now, less than a year later, FM19 Touch pushes its forebear out of contention – but just how much has changed in this new entry?įor the most part this is the same game many fans will have played back in April there’ve been a few interface changes, but nothing groundbreaking.

Ultimately, it’s a great port of the Football Manager 2019 that’s equal to it both in graphics and mechanics.Earlier this year I had the pleasure of reviewing Football Manager Touch 2018 on the Nintendo Switch, a game that, while not as fully featured as its big brother, could still deliver those classic Football Manager moments that frustrate just as much as they delight. It’s also amazing how the Touch version did not lose any of the stellar quality that the original games had. It has all of the main features that you’ll expect from any Football Manager game without sacrificing the quality. If the original version of Football Manager is too bulky for you then try out the Football Manager 2019 Touch.

Streamlined Version of Football Manager 2019 Football Manager 2019 Touch also gets rid of the annoying press conferences that just serve to slow down the pace of the game. Nothing has really changed much from other games other than a more streamlined simulation experience and revamped training mechanics. Instead of individually assigning your team’s training regime, you can set them to focus on training a particular problem area for a given time. You can choose strategies to employ and hope that your team is in top shape to claim victory. When you’re satisfied with the strength of your team, testing them out on a football match is the next step.

There are a wide variety of tactics that you can choose to train with. Match Day is when your team’s skills will be tested, but before sending them out, you can t rain them even further with tactics and playstyles. Once you have selected your potential players, it’s now time to start training them to become the best in their chosen position. Your objective is to create a powerful football club by choosing the best players for your team. Most of the mechanics are also the same as the main game.
