There are two kinds of sports fans (obviously, there are more, but bear with us here). The game itself, the deft moves, the display of talent, the victory of talent, and the labor of love are all appealing to one type of person.
The other type of fan is more interested in the events surrounding a specific competition, such as transfers, complex sponsorship negotiations, and luring coaches and medical personnel to work for you.
We are here to cater to the latter type with a collection of eight simulation games that will fully showcase your micromanagement prowess and establish once and for all why you should have been chosen to lead your preferred squad.
Football Manager 2023
Football Manager 2023 Football Manager 2023 was released on November 8, 2022, and it has already proven to be as dependable and satisfying as its predecessors.
It includes every detail required to manage a football team and lead it to the top of any league in which you choose to compete. You’ll be competing for transfers, tending to the needs of your star players, supervising their training, and much more. Nowhere else will you find a more detailed and thorough simulation of football or soccer’s off-field aspects.
Tennis Elbow Manager 2
In Tennis Elbow Manager 2, you can be a tennis coach and a tennis player. As a coach, you can manage up to nine players. The goal is to get one of them to the top and keep them there.
The game has an incredible amount of depth. It has over 3,500 players with careers that last until 2042 (men’s jobs began in 1973, and women’s careers will start in 1983). The game also includes over 400 international tennis competitions from the ATP, WTA, and junior tours.
As a coach, you must schedule practice sessions, find sponsors, coordinate your team members’ schedules, and more. You are even welcome to take part in the games. The 3D match engine in the game is fully functional.
Franchise Hockey Manager (FHM) 9
We now have college hockey! You can now manage one of more than 60 American collegiate Division I teams. Due to the unique challenges of college hockey, several new mechanics have been introduced to college team management. These include a unique recruiting system, scholarship and academic eligibility administration, and postseason tournament qualification.
ESport Manager
A computer game in which you manage computer game players has a very meta quality. It is undeniably a one-of-a-kind sports simulation game.
You assemble a team of athletes and manage their development, social media presence, sponsorship agreements, and training in ESport Manager. You also have a training foundation to expand with new facilities, instructional resources, and structures.
You will compete in first-person shooter (FPS) and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games in all esports events. Before each match, you must select your players, weapons, and tactics.
Motorsport Manager
Even though it has been available since 2016, Motorsport Manager remains the best F1 management simulation game. This game has unquestionably been the best in its category since the classic Grand Prix Manager 2 was released by MicroProse in 1996.
The lack of formal licensing is the game’s only drawback, but racing fans will love it if you can get past that.
You are responsible for a complete motorsports team, including all employees, R&D procedures, and race tactics.
