Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, match-focused experience may find the multi-season management structure too involved.

Our take on Football Mogul 18
The defining choice is how much control to take on game day: the GM can delegate from the luxury box or call plays and defensive tactics directly.
What is Football Mogul 18?
Football Mogul 18 is a football management simulation with rosters and player ratings for the opening weekend of the 2017–2018 season.
Start in any year from 1970 to the present, choosing an existing team or creating a fictional one. As general manager, trade players, negotiate multi-year contracts, and compete with other GMs for signings. Manage ticket and concession prices, broadcast rights, and budgets for payroll, scouts, and medical staff.
Draft rookies, then start them or keep them on the bench to develop. Set lineups for offense, defense, and special teams, and choose whether to make play calls yourself or leave the game-day decisions to the computer. Simulate one day at a time or advance by weeks or months across multiple seasons as players develop and age.
