We’re delighted to say that FM20 is available to vote for as Game of the Year in this year’s Steam awards. This year’s game has been our best received ever on Steam and we’re really proud to be considered for the award.

Brand new modules to the game such as Club Vision, the Development Centre and Playing Time Pathway along with a number of improvements to existing features and a wealth of quality of life updates have made FM20 the most compelling entry in the series.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the level of support from the community since the game’s launch and are proud that so many of you have left a positive review or left a positive message on our Steam forums. If you’ve enjoyed your time on the game, then please consider giving us a vote and we’ll hopefully be lifting the silverware on December 31st.

Here's what happens when you recycle video game plastic boxes
Football Manager 2020

Can you bin a plastic game box and not feel like you've hurt David Attenborough in the process?

Maybe you're having a clear out. Maybe you're downsizing your physical game collection now you've subscribed to Xbox Game Pass. Or maybe you have bought Stadia...

Video games might be moving away from living on plastic discs in plastic boxes, but it's still a worthwhile question to ask. Helpfully, the latest video from People Make Games, presented by some guy named Chris Bratt, asks exactly that.

Football Manager 2020 20.1.4 Hotfix Out Now
Football Manager 2020 - Neil Brock
A quick note to say we’ve just released Hotfix 20.1.4 to address a couple of issues, including a fix for saves affected by hidden attributes and determination being generated incorrectly.

This hotfix is completely compatible with existing save games and the changelist can be found below.

20.1.4 Changelist
------------------------
- Fix updating hidden attributes and determination to be within correct scale (for pre-existing save games)*
- Decreased the number of penalties being given mistakenly by in-match officials

* This issue only impacted saves created in version 20.1.0 and 20.1.2, so only these will have attribute changes. If within your save game you altered any of the affected attributes with the in-game editor, these will be re-altered by this fix.

Football Manager 2020 - Neil Brock
We’ve just released a hotfix to address an issue regarding hidden attributes and determination being generated incorrectly on game start. We’re thankful to the community for providing us with information enabling us to fix this.

For any user with a save game started since the release of 20.1.0, we’re currently working on a further fix which we hope will address this in any pre-existing saves. For any user who started a save game prior to 20.1.0 your save game is unaffected.

This current fix is only compatible with new saves.

20.1.3 Changelist

- Fix for hidden attributes being generated within correct scale

Football Manager 2020's sporty spreadsheets hit Steam and Stadia today
Football Manager 2020 - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Natalie Clayton)

Football Manager 2020 came out today, and look. I’m not gonna pretend like I’m the best person to give you a point-by-point breakdown on why this soccer spreadsheet is better than the last. Sports Interactive have been putting these things out annually for years, improving the nitty-gritty of managing a team of fit football lads every 12 months. This year’s edition is once again missing Mr Football Manager’s faceless figure from the cover, in exchange for a game that wants to inject a bit more personality into your teams and players.

Erk, I’m not really sure how to convince anyone of this. I’m the boy who cried last ever Steam Charts.

I played Football Manager 2012 for 37 seasons. How am I supposed to move on now?
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Daniel Curtis)

The year is 2049.

My avatar, managing Tottenham Hotspur, is 67. Harry Redknapp is long dead. Chris Smalling is my assistant manager.

Now, as I finally wind down my Football Manager 2012 playthrough through an unholy combination of bugs and, well, having won everything, the future beckons. I m having an existential crisis and the line between real and fictional is melting.

But let s start at the beginning.
