There are a few arcade-y options and of course EA is present with the usual free-to-play butchering of a great game in the absurdly titled Madden NFL Overdrive Football, but quality management games are few and far between. The one serious choice is the Pro Strategy Football series, which once again delivered a very solid offering in its 2018 edition and has now evolved into the 2019 version. It’s a fun and playable coaching game but also accurate and realistic depending how deep you want to dive in.
One of the best things about PSF is how flexible it is, so you can have a quick single match or a multi-season career and then on the field you play in beginner mode just choosing the type of play or expert mode in which you can micromanage every player’s role. It’s a great game for novices who want to learn more about the complexities of gridiron and hardcore players who want to control every aspect of their team. Football Manager Touch 2019 Developer: SEGA Platforms:, Price: $19.99 There's no arguing that Football Manager is the king of football management simulations, and FM Touch extends the series' dominion in to the mobile sphere. The Touch games offer a more accessible take on the PC version, with an interface specially designed for tablet devices. If you're looking for a cheaper and more accessible FM experience, then you should check out Football Manager 2019 Mobile. FM19 Touch is just as good as the 2018 (which occupied this spot until now), but it's worth noting that the changes between the versions are slim.
There's no doubt that this game deserves to claim a top spot in our list, but if you already have previous year's versions, bear in mind you may baulk a bit at having to re-purchase the game again. Motorsport Manager Mobile 3 Developer: Playsport Games Platforms:, Price: $3.99 This series scores an easy pole position in the motorsport management genre, and the latest instalment is the best looking and most feature-rich yet. For a sport game on mobile devices, this is achingly beautiful, especially the dioramic race tracks which are just so pretty. But the game has lots of substance as well as style with plenty to keep you busy as the principal of a motorsport team, including recruiting drivers, developing the best cars and investing in your facilities. Once the action switches to the track during qualifying and races you’ll still have plenty of decisions to make on race strategy, car set-up and tyres. For the third game in the series Playsport Games has added six new championships across GT and endurance races, making it deeper than ever before. As our four-star review suggested, MM3 does a great job of getting players emotionally invested in their teams, with a fine line between winning and losing “A game made up of so many small decisions and menus allows for a surprising amount of excitement. Watching those small dots speed around the screen may not give the surge of pleasure a standard racing game would, but watching your team secure a win, leading to a championship is genuinely wonderful.” Cricket Captain 2018 Developer: Childish Things Ltd Platforms:, Price: £8.99 This series has been around on mobile devices for several years, but without much fanfare, despite being well received by players.
Perhaps cricket is more of a niche interest than other sports, particularly among European or American gamers, but this is a must-buy if you are fan of hearing leather on willow. Cricket management is a very narrow genre, but this game is unrivalled in it with its deep, accurate and comprehensive simulation.
Very much the Football Manager of cricket games with its attention to detail, this is packed with features, stats and tactical options that should keep virtual cricket captains happy for many hours. Football Chairman Pro Developer: Underground Creative Platforms:, Price: £2.99 Not so much Championship Manager as Chair manship Manager. This simple but satisfying simulation puts you at the head of the table in the boardroom rather than being in the manager’s office or dugout. Instead of being the football manager going to the chairman asking for extra funds or more time to build you squad, you are the chairman who makes the decision on the hiring and firing of your club’s manager. If you get that decision right, along with sponsorship deals, stadium development, transfers, contracts and more, you’ll be able to turn your little non-league football team into a major force. It’s a more basic, quick-playing game than, say, Football Manager but its fast pace allows you to whizz through seasons in minutes and hours rather than days and months, making it great for short sessions on the commute. Despite the simplicity and less detail, it’s still got plenty of choices for you to make as the big boss, and enough addictive power to keep you coming back.
Baseball Highlights 2045 Developer: Peter Kossits Platforms:, Price: $3.99 As its name suggests this clever card came condenses baseball matches into short bite-sized 10-minute matches. If you are looking for realism then I suggest you move on as this futuristic take on America’s favourite sport has a player roster that includes robotic and cybernetic players. An entire game consists of each player only playing a total six cards, but it still manages to pack in a lot of tough decisions and tension. On your way to the World Series you get to draft new players into your hand, which gives the whole experience a pleasing bubble-gum card collecting nostalgia.
Punch Club Developer: tinyBuild Platforms:, Price: $4.99 This may not be a sports sim in the strictest sense of the word, but if you are interested in a boxing-themed game with lashings of 1980’s nostalgia then Punch Club rings all the right bells. You embark on a Rocky-style quest of vengeance by setting up fights, whilst juggling your work and social life. It is a game that takes more than its graphical sensibilities from the 1980’s, being tougher than Apollo Creed. This means that you will be doing more grinding than a dirty dancing barista. However, it is still a fine game that is well worth checking out. New Star Cricket Developer: New Star Games Platforms:, Price: Free, Offers In-App Purchases A cricketing themed follow up to New Star Football that is perfect for those who prefer the thwack of willow on leather.
You begin your career with a lowly club in your favourite cricketing nation. Each season you will compete in both 20 and 50 over competitions. Perform well and famous clubs will be queuing up for your signature, you may even get an international call-up. The game does not stray too far from the winning formula of its forbearer. A series of mini-games enable you to improve your skills and have an impact on matches at key points. Gameplay is as equally satisfying in bite-sized spells as it is in marathon sessions, which makes for an ideal mobile game that will have you padding up and heading out to the middle time and time again. 1st & Goal Developer: R&R Games Platforms: Price: $4.99 Based on a popular board game, 1st & Goal uses a combination of dice and cards to simulate the rough and tumble of American football.
Opponents play cards to determine their offensive and defensive strategies and then dice are rolled to determine the outcome. The dice used will depend on the strategies selected. For instance, if the offensive team chooses a rushing play and their opponents choose a passing defence, then the offensive team will have a big advantage. You can play a one-off exhibition match, compete in the play-offs or embark on a full season. Whatever you decide you will get a game that sticks closely to its board game roots, with straightforward rules, together with tense bluff and double bluff gameplay. Hall of Fame. New Star Soccer.
Motorsport Manager Mobile 2 What would your list of the best sports strategy/management games on mobile look like? Let us know in the comments!
We are part of The Trust Project It's been 23 years since the Collyer Brothers released the first Championship Manager, the game that would develop into the all-conquering goliath that is. Iain Macintosh, editor of, has played them all. Leaving aside the new version, as you can never tell how good an FM is until you’ve played it for three months, he gives us his top nine incarnations. Championship Manager 2001/02 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager Hitting a sweet spot between the level of detail and the speed with which it could be played, there are many reasons why CM01/02 retains a special place in the hearts of those who immersed themselves in its data.
Unlike the new versions, the AI is fairly basic and you can’t micro-manage the development of your players, but you can push through half a season in a three-hour train journey with Mike Duff, Mark Kerr and Cherno Samba as the spine of your team. There’s a lot to be said for that. Football Manager 2014 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager Realism is always one of the key factors in any game and FM14 stepped up the pace with the introduction of job interviews.
Now you could land a position that your reputation might not deserve by toadying up to chairmen. Alternatively, you could take your time finding the right job, making sure that your devotion to youth development was encouraged and rewarded. Chillingly, the improved AI brought opposing managers who could quickly see through your time-honoured tactics and adapt, forcing you to change or fall behind. It all went a bit Skynet here. Football Manager 2007 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager A fine effort, balanced and accessible, but notable primarily because it reversed the maddening decision of its predecessor FM06 to include fictional Harchester United players. There is very little worse than investing hours in a detailed simulation of the entire footballing world only to have some bloke called Casper Rose suddenly pop up as one of the world’s best players. When you’re escaping into an alternative reality, you want that reality to be as pure as possible.
The arrival of scout report cards was also a very nice touch, easing the flow of information and breaking it into bitesize chunks. Championship Manager: Season 97/98 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager A ground-breaking version, this. The first one clever enough to run more than one league concurrently.
Granted, you need to make sure that the suitcase-sized tower that passed for a personal computer in those days was powerful enough, but finally it was possible to excel in the Premier League and then land the Barcelona job. And if you had Tom Youngs, you had every chance to do just that. An easy-to-use editor was a nice touch too. Who among us hasn’t dropped themselves into the game with ludicrous attributes, eh?
You’re a liar, sir. Football Manager 2012 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager After a sticky period where the game had become increasingly unwieldy and bogged down with detail, FM12 was a welcome return to form. The information was all there, but now it was contained in a far more intuitive, far less headache-inducing layout.
Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on where a game has improved, but here it was simple; playing it no longer felt like a second job. This was the moment when the series began to flex its muscles, while wearing a flattering shirt and a welcoming smile. Championship Manager Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager The progenitor. The foundation stone. It didn’t have real names.
It didn’t have graphics. There were four divisions with 80 teams. When you played Real Madrid in Europe, you played against ‘Player 5’ and ‘Player 7’.
But by thunder, it was the greatest thing to ever happen to the genre. In scope and style, it would be bettered again and again and again, but that feeling that you had stumbled into a brand new world and that life would never be the same, that was never stronger than it was here. Championship Manager 2 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager Update discs had given the franchise real player names for the first time in 1993, but CM2 gave you real grounds to visit. There were still no graphics, details were thin on the ground by today’s standards, but the joy of watching your numbers dance upon the images of the exact stadium in which you were playing was marvellous.

Less marvellous was the Clive Tyldesley match commentary, the tone of which only served to bring a touch of the ‘captured Gulf War pilot’ vibe to proceedings. Football Manager 2005 Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager After the acrimonious split from publishers Eidos that meant they lost the name ‘Championship Manager,’ the Sports Interactive studio set up home with Sega, regrouped and rebranded. But which game would be the best? This newfangled FM05 or Eidos’s own CM5?
It wasn’t even a contest. CM5 was a disaster, a shocking and utterly unplayable mess of bugs that should never have seen the light of day. FM05, while not perfect, was light years ahead. It was bright, it was playable, it was fun and it was big. Eidos’s version would never catch up.
CM Italia Embedded video for The 9 best editions of Football Manager/Championship Manager. With the Premier League hidden away on Sky and with James Richardson bringing Serie A to the masses on Channel 4, it was only logical that the Collyer brothers would respond.
Using the same engine as the original CM, the two Italian leagues were faithfully restored, as too was the controversial three foreigner rule and, of course, Paul Gascoigne. This was a golden age of football, reflected faithfully and beautifully. If you could find a computer that ran it, you could play this game today and still enjoy it. Iain Macintosh is the author of '.
