These mechanics have been stripped down to a manageable degree where the most you have to do is select one of four skills you want your player to raise as they level up, buy and sell players when their contracts are up, and choose perks for the players when they become experienced in a position. The team management aspect in FTG is perfect for those of us who want to get into Football Manager but don’t have the time to dedicate to spreadsheets and reading books on advanced football tactics. The basic tutorial goes through what you can and can’t do and what happens when you or your opponent breaks the rules in the context of the gameplay but as far as tactics and knowing how to properly penetrate a 5-3-2 formation? You’re on your own. There is the issue where if you don’t know anything about football tactics, you might be a tad out of water with this game as there is little hand-holding in that regard. It does get annoying when you have three times the amount of skill potential as your opponent and you get a bad roll and they break away for a score. Unfortunately, RNGesus makes a return here in that the outcome of your selected action is based on a skill check roll as opposed to using a hard number.
Your players can move, shoot, pass, defend, or hold the ball, and their success in those aspects is based on their skill level. The base gameplay of on-field play moves in a turn-based system where you get to do three actions in a turn before your opponent gets to do the same, trading off turns until time runs out. It’s a nice little take on an XCOM clone for those of us who are tired of shooting things in the head and would rather shoot a ball into a net. Starting at the bottom of your country’s league pyramid, you take control of a team in both on-field play and a base-building aspect of signing and training players while trying to keep your club’s bank account in the black. Football, Tactics & Glory (henceforth FTG) is a strategy game mixed with sports RPG where you take control of a football team in a country of your choice.
