I dunno. I guess some people really like the idea of managing a team.
You know, making the right decisions, not the stupid decisions the
actual football managers are making.
 
I don't actually like football, so the game sounds very slightly more
interesting to me than an actual virtual football game.
 
Isn't that exactly the mentality behind all these fantasy football
leagues?
 Essentially, yes. It's basically the same game, 'except on a computer'
and with fancier graphics. Pick a team, 'hire' your favorite players,
then pit them against other virtual teams and play an imaginary
season.
 Footie management games just hide the spreadsheet aspects of
fantasy-sports behind some glossier visuals.
 
I kinda disagree with that as the likes of football manager have a lot more depth than a fantasy football league.

Although I think one of the draws to 'real' fantasy football was that
there was often an optional gambling mechanic behind it, where people
would pit their teams against others. I'm not sure Football Manager
2024 has that feature ;-)
 
I think the real draw is it's free, generally, but the most important one - your team consists of real players in a real league. If you like football it can just be seen as an extension to that. It's not as popular as it once was but it's still going strong.
The gambling part, not sure about that, but most, even if it's run by your local pub or just a group of friends, will have some sort of prizes.
Gambling itself, will that's become pretty synonymous with football now and gambling firms have been very successful into integrating the idea that part of watching football is also betting on it. I do go and watch and I honestly don't understand that you have a number of people who buy a ticket and then spend the whole match at the bookies in the ground where you can't see the game.
