Football Manager 2015 puts you in charge of a football club, with the broader series built around managing teams in leagues across more than 50 countries. Rather than taking control of a player on the pitch, you take the manager’s seat and make decisions that shape the team and its approach to matches.
The responsibilities span selection and tactics: decide who starts and who sits on the bench, set up the team’s tactics, deliver team-talks, make substitutions and issue instructions from the touchline. Matches unfold live through the series’ 3D match engine, giving the management decisions a match-day presentation rather than reducing them to results alone.
Its distinctive appeal is the combination of club management and close involvement in live match decisions. You oversee both the choices made before kick-off and adjustments during play, including substitutions and pitch-side instructions. Football Manager 2015 was announced for PC, Macintosh and Linux computers, placing its focus on detailed football management across a broad international club landscape.
