Is it possible to play Football Manager 2023 on Mac?
Football Manager 2023 is a recently-released game developed by Sports Interactive and published by SEGA. Just as the name suggests, this is a game about managing a football team; you will be in charge of developing their strategy, recruiting new members and training them. But you must not forget that your team does not exist in a vacuum. You will have to beat other teams and win championships. The game’s improved AI will make this task harder and more challenging for you, though not frustratingly so. As a manager, you do not have the supreme authority over the team. Although you have a lot of autonomy – the game would be boring otherwise – you answer to the Board of Directors and have to meet their expectations. You must also keep in touch with the team’s fanbase. They might not have the power to sack you, but the team’s financial success depends on their engagement. Thankfully, you can choose which team you want to manage at the start of the game. This way, you can make sure that you will not bite more than you can chew. Generally, it should be easy to play Football Manager on Mac as it is available on macOS natively. However, if your Mac computer doesn’t meet the game’s system requirements, or you want to play on higher graphics settings, read the guide below.
