Yeah!! I have been playing this game for past two years, and still have the same excitement for playing new series of the Football Manager. Recently, while reading to some gaming articles I came across a Website where I found Found Football Manager series available from year 2013 till 2017 and 2018 yet to come soon. For more details Visit the website. I enjoy the game but it's sort of not really for beginners. It's getting harder and harder to win anything. I've had to actually go on forums to understand how tactics work and read up about mentalities, systems and player roles. It's good but definitely not for your average gamer.

Manchester United are suing the makers of the Football Manager series for allegedly infringing their trademark by using the club's name "extensively throughout the game".
The Premier League side have taken legal action against Sega Publishing and Sports Interactive (SI) - the publisher and developer of the popular football management simulation.
The club also argue Sega and SI have infringed their trademark over their logo by not using the official Manchester United crest in the game, instead "replacing the club crest with a simplified red and white striped logo". Manchester United claim this "deprives the registered proprietor of its right to have the club crest licensed". Sega and SI say the use of the club's name is "a legitimate reference to the Manchester United football team in a football context" and has been used in Football Manager and its predecessor, Championship Manager, since 1992 "without complaint by the claimant".
The companies have accused the club of trying to "prevent legitimate competition in the video games field by preventing parties not licensed by the claimant from using the name of the Manchester United football team within such games". At a preliminary remote hearing on Friday, Manchester United's barrister Simon Malynicz QC said "the name 'Manchester United' is one of the world's most valuable and recognised brands".
He said the money clubs make from licensing their names and logos is "very significant" and "the products and services that are licensed by the claimant benefit from an association with the club's winning culture and its brand values".
Mr Malynicz argued, in relation to the alleged infringement of the trademark on Man Utd's logo, that "consumers expect to see the club crest next to the name Manchester United ... and this failure to do so amounts to wrongful use".
He accepted this argument is "somewhat novel, and certainly in the context of video games, but it is certainly arguable". The barrister asked Mr Justice Morgan to allow the club to amend their claim against Sega and SI to include allegations involving "the practice of supplying 'patches' or 'mods', essentially downloadable files containing replica trademarks, which consumers then incorporate into the game".
Mr Malynicz argued Sega and SI "encouraged" the use of patches supplied by third parties "by promoting the patch providers in various ways and, of course, they directly benefited from it by avoiding the need to take any licence and enjoying increased sales of their game".
Roger Wyand QC, representing the defendants, opposed the club's application to amend their claim.
In their written defence to Man Utd's claim, Sega and SI said: "The claimant has acquiesced in the use by the defendants of the name of the Manchester United football team in the Football Manager game and cannot now complain of such use."
Mr Wyand argued the "simplified" club badge used in the game is "one of 14 generic logo templates that is randomly chosen by the Football Manager game engine each time a new game is started" and "clearly indicates that the use of the (logo of) Manchester United is not licensed by the claimant".
Sega and SI said preventing them using Manchester United's name "would amount to an unreasonable restraint on the right to freedom of expression to restrain the use of the words 'Manchester United' to refer to a team in a computer game".
Mr Wyand pointed out that "copies of the game have also been sent by SI to a number of officials and players at the (club) for a number of years and there have been a number of positive press comments and tweets about the game by them".
He added: "Further, the claimant's staff working in the data analytics and scouting teams have contacted SI on various occasions asking for access to the Football Manager database for scouting and research purposes.

Women’s football will be coming to future editions of Football Manager, head of Sports Interactive Miles Jacobson confirmed on talkSPORT.
The computer simulation game continues to be popular among football fans across the world and it will get a whole lot bigger. Jacobson joined talkSPORT on Thursday to speak about the plans and issued a call to action to help build the game’s database.
Women’s teams will not be in the upcoming FM22, but the process has already started to make it a reality.
He told talkSPORT: “It is (going to be a long process). We’ve started the work already. We’ve been working on it for quite a long time.
“We are normally quite secretive about things we are adding to the game, but the reason we are talking about it now, and I can confirm it definitely won’t be in FM22, is because we’ve got a huge process we need to do with regards to research and finding a network of scouts around the world to help us make this dream a reality. “We found that has been very difficult when asking people to sign non-disclosure agreements to be able to do that.
“The call to action is going out today.
“We’ve already done a bunch of motion capture sessions. We are about to do some goalkeeper motion capture as well.
“There’s a lot of translation work to do, which is also underway. A lot of work to do, but something we are determined to do and have thrown down the gauntlet to others today to come and join us as well.”
They are looking to start with between 10 and 15 leagues from around the world, and eventually to include every pro and semi-pro. Chelsea boss Emma Hayes also hailed the decision to bring women’s football to Football Manager.
Hayes told talkSPORT: “It’s massive because we are now coming even further into people’s homes and it’s not just through the game itself.
“The fact we are interacting with people that are sitting up until 4am, normalising household names from the women’s game, can only be a fantastic thing.”
It follows the news that Alex Scott will make history by becoming the first female broadcast voice in the FIFA franchise history.
She tweeted: “Happy to finally share the news that I joined the FIFA family and will be commentating for #FIFA22!
“This is a big moment for FIFA, for football and women and girls across the world. It’s also a big moment for me personally and professionally.”

Football Manager 2023 will include UEFA's prestigious club competitions for the first time in the franchise's history.
The Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League and Super Cup will all be fully licensed, playable competitions in Football Manager 2023.
Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive’s studio director, said: “Football Manager 2023 marks another significant step forward for the Football Manager series as we introduce the UEFA Club Competitions and bring the game to PlayStation 5.
"Adding these historic competitions is an ideal fit for all parties involved and will add another dynamic and challenging element for fans that makes this year’s edition the most realistic football management simulation available.”
The licensing agreement also includes the rights to the Women's Champions League, which will be included in a future version of the game once women's football makes its long-awaited arrival to the franchise.
New game features will be unveiled in the coming weeks, but one of the biggest changes for FM23 comes with the decision to do away with disc versions of the game.
Fans may still buy physical copies of FM23 but packs will simply contain a unique code which can be redeemed on various digital platforms, with the removal of the disc and manual adding to Sports Interactive's push to lower the game's carbon footprint.
