Football Manager 2020: The three different versions explained

When you buy Football Manager 2020 you also get the Touch version, which leads to two separate installation entries on Steam. Additionally, Football Manager 2020 Mobile is available for purchase.

Main game, Touch, Mobile: the three versions of the cult game differ in scope.

Given these three existing versions, we clarify the differences and connections.

Football Manager 2020: these versions exist

The version for PC (Windows) and Mac is the main version. It includes all the features and the enormous scope for which the series is known. Therefore, it is interesting to look at the limitations of the touch version:

• Football Manager 2020 Touch is a slimmed-down version specifically for tablets. First of all, this concerns the database size: in the main version there are 51 countries with 116 leagues, in FM 2020 Touch there are only 21 countries with 60 leagues, of which you can only activate four leagues for your score.
• The core functions are on board, but with significantly fewer areas that you have to manage. For example, a department manager takes over the work and tasks of all other employees, and even the training can not be set in detail, but only the basic direction.
• Important for the game simulation: there is no tactical familiarity, there is no half-time speech and no shouts during the game. The 3D representation is also not possible.
• Also the U-teams are omitted. The second team exists,
• Each score is limited to a maximum of 30 seasons.

If you plan to play only on the tablet anyway, you can also purchase FM 2020 separately. This goes in the respective app store for Android and iOS for just over 20 euros, which is significantly cheaper than the main game including Touch.In addition, there is also Football Manager 2020 Mobile: At just under 10 euros, this version is even much cheaper, but also slimmer than Touch. It is intended for smartphones, in order to do justice to the hardware there. FM 2020 Mobile ist nur einzeln erhältlich und im Gegensatz zu Touch nicht im Paket mit dem Hauptspiel verfügbar.
