How to improve Football Manager. It’s a question both Sports Interactive and players like me have asked on an (almost) yearly basis for the last 20 years. So the answers should, by rights, be forthcoming and straightforward. It’s a series that eats up vast, greedy swathes of your time, and in the hundreds of hours you spend with it each year, you become as familiar with its foibles as one might with a spouse. And yet the more time I spend with Football Manager 26, the most significant update to the old Collyer brothers’ formula for years, the more I’m stumped about what the right answer is to that question.
What is it? The most addictive mod for Microsoft Excel returns with a new match engine.
