Football Manager 2017 Reviews

[Neil Brock]

As with previous years we can't just rely on us telling you FM17 is worth playing, we have to let reviewers (hopefully) say as much too. As the review embargo ended yesterday, here are the first published reviews for Football Manager 2017.

We'll try and keep these updated as we go, so if you find one missing from the list from a recognised publication please just drop me a message. Thanks.
