Publication	Review Score	Quote
English
PC Gamer	87/100	"Another superb entry that feels tailor-made for the series' most dedicated players."
God is a Geek	9/10	"Surprisingly accessible considering the depth of management on offer. Football Manager 2020 delights in almost every way. Prepare to be sucked in once again."
Daily Star	5/5	"Football Manager is back and its focus on long-term construction of a footballing powerhouse is refreshing for a series that previously felt solely focused on the short-to-mid term."
PCGamesN	8/10	"It looks as much of an iterative update as any FM game, but the added finesse of the new match engine, and the extra depth to the club staffing dynamics and development, make this the best version of the game yet."
GamesRadar	4/5	"It's hard to not recommend the game to people who already know they enjoy FM, because the minor features added to the game like Club Vision and Development Centre make it even more enjoyable and immersive for someone who plays for 5-10 seasons or longer"
Metro	9/10	"A sizeable improvement on last year’s already excellent game, with major changes and minor tweaks that will delight veteran players and encourage newcomers."
Football.London	Positive	"Football Manager 2020 has the potential to be the best release of the modern run of games. Players who tend to stick with their saves for the long haul will be rewarded with more challenges, more character and more depth."
Real Sport	4.5/5	"Football Manager 2020 feels a more complete universe than ever before. From the board and player interactions to media questions and staff discussions, FM20 is a world that you dive into rather than a game you play."
WWCFTech	9.5/10	"the purest, most engrossing and also the most accessible football management game yet"
FootballFanCast	Positive	"This may well be SI’s best ever release."
MailOnline	Positive	"FM 2020 is as difficult to quit as any version that has come before."
Game Reactor	8/10	"Old or new player, Football Manager 2020 will continue to kill your time."
Thumb Culture	Positive (Platinum)	"The new features make the game far better with the detailed information more at your finger tips, and with the matchday games becoming more and more realistic, its just another very solid playthrough."
Game Revolution	3.5/5	"...is full of small and large changes that help strengthen the overall management experience."
IGN	8.7/10	"Still addictively enormous, but more open to newcomers than ever, FM 2020 is a brilliant update to a brilliant series."

Volex24	Positive	"Kurz gesagt, Football Manager 2020 sieht wirklich wie die reichste Ausgabe aller Zeiten aus und wird alle Fans begeistern."
RP Online	Positive	"Fußball-Aficionados können sich austoben und als potenzieller Spitzentrainer beweisen. Und dafür benötigen sie noch nicht einmal einen Spitzen-Rechner. Der erste Eindruck stimmt auf jeden Fall positiv. Der Football Manager ist so komplex wie immer, aber alles sieht nun besser aus."
tonight	Positive	"Fans des Spiels werden die neuen Features lieben. Ganz einfach, weil sie reelle Verbesserungen des Spiels darstellen. Natürlich ist die 3D-Grafik immer noch nicht mit Fußball-Simulationen wie FIFA oder PES vergleichbar, aber das flüssigere Gameplay überzeugt dennoch. Die anderen Neuerungen sind ebenfalls keine Revolution, verbessern aber das Spiel. So stellt man sich das als User vor. Weitermachen!"
ingame	8/10	" Der Football Manager 2020 wird die Herzen der Taktikfüchse und Sofa-Trainer wie jedes Jahr wieder höherschlagen lassen, denn eine soausgefeilte Manager-Simulation werden Sie nirgendwo sonst finden. [...] Einsteiger haben es wie immer ein wenig schwerer, aber die Mühe ist es definitiv wert."
