If you're a football fan, you're blessed with some really great gaming franchises. EA Sports FC 2024 is set to debut next months, bringing with it the end of the FIFA licensed football simulation. Still, it looks set to be an absolute knockout, so we might not miss it for too long.

It's far from the only title worthy of consideration, though. Football Manager is a different take on the form, but well worth a look for football lovers who enjoy a simulation game. Now, users can pick up the latest title – Football Manager 2023 – for free!

That's a great deal. I'm a big fan of the Football Manager series, having played since the early 2000s. The game offers a level of immersion that is just unparalleled in any other game – there's no better feeling than plucking an unknown gem from a second tier Latvian team and coaching them to world domination.

Being able to get hands on with the latest offering from the brand without spending a penny is fantastic. Users can experience all of the latest features, as well as getting access to the most up to date squads and leagues on the market.

After that, when Football Manager 2025 is released, the game will take on a whole new personality. It's being rebuilt on the Unity Engine, and features a whole wealth of changes to boot. in particular, that should benefit the in-game graphics and the match engine.
