Until some time ago, employees from Football Manager had only one way to save themselves from their drugs: being away from your home PC, without having thus able to fall into temptation. Despite the football management has for years also available for Handheld smartphones and tablets, the most demanding players could find it only on PC depth that makes the famous series license plate Sports Interactive, whose mobile version constituted only a small surrogate snubbed from the socket hard demanding. The difference between the two versions of Football Manager was in fact quite clear, both in terms of gaming features that database before with Football Manager 2014 Classic boys led by Miles Jacobson decided to do some further step in the mobile world, publishing game on PlayStation Vita. After a year, the gap must be filled in time further, with the 2015 edition that leaves the console from Sony to focus on Android tablet and iPad: like the previous one, it is a version that would reflect the content Classic mode already known on PC, with an inevitable series of changes to adapt the game touch interface of these platforms.
Classic but not too
For those who does not know the classic mode of Football Manager, remember that this was introduced with the 2013 edition the management of PCs, to give fans of the series a simplified way to pursue his career as a coach without having to deal with all the details and the delays which submits the full mode of the game. 
On the inside, are in fact been introduced a number of features which can both speed up the experience, is to make it more simple and accessible: in the first case, for example, has been made possible to skip the simulation of a game to directly obtain the its result, while in the second it was introduced a system of microtransactions to get bonuses of various types, such as instant healing from an injury occurred to a player. Features that blend perfectly with those of the mobile world, where to prevent the arrival of a Football Manager deeper was so far the barrier created by technological progress, now arrived at a point where the latest devices are, according to the developers finally able to handle the loading and amount of data. Although not in the classic mode completeness of the traditional one, with respect to the handheld version there is almost a chasm: just to have a size, it is possible to find in the first well 117 sampled, compared to 35 of the second, with all that implies also on the number of players inside the game, went from 30,000 to 150,000. In terms of gameplay stark, Football Manager Classic adds a number of tactical options and management, which can give fans of the series who are always in motion a more than valid to give vent to their passion: the personality of the players, tactics and training finished and more are no longer exclusive to the PC world.

Here comes the 3D
For those who play Football Manager on the PC, the 3D graphics engine with which are simulated games is a feature acquired long ago. In the mobile world, however, its introduction is new: as in the desktop version of Football Manager 2015, you can now choose to see the round match with all 22 men on the field represented by polygonal models and not by bullets 2D, engaged in dribbling, contrasts and so on, with animations and models rather good for the platform on which you are located. 
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the 3D engine gives the coach a chance to realize more effectively the need for any instructions to be given to the flight, or going to change the face of the team putting hand tactics using the tools offered by Football Manager Classic. About the technical sector, we recommend that you pay special attention to the specifications published by Sports Interactive: all the qualities inherited from the PC version of the game in fact have their price, which results in the need to be in possession of a tablet quite recent. As for the Apple world, Classic Football Manager 2015 is fully compatible only with the last two iterations of the iPad Air and iPad mini, while the Android models supported are about 45. Another historically sensitive to the performance are the boots, which prove able to withstand the workload quite well, although as it once on the initial phase of the PC game will require a bit ‘of time to be defined. As for the touch interface, we are not yet at the level of quality that we would expect to see: the main problems relate to areas of the screen sometimes too small to make a tap selection, as well as drag an item (for as when you make a substitution) becomes at times frustrating experience to say the least. We also hope for the future support for bailouts of cloud, to carry on a game going from PC to tablet, and vice versa.
