What's the difference between Football Manager Touch and Football Manager Mobile?

Why is everything so complicated?

What's the difference between Football Manager Touch and Football Manager Mobile?

Sega and Sports Interactive recently shuffled the titles of the various Football Manager games to better reflect how people play the series.

It might lead to some confusion.

Football Manager 2016 is simple enough. It's the biggest version of the game and it'll be out for Windows and Mac this November.

But then it gets a little more complicated.

Previously, we had Football Manager Classic and Football Manager Handheld. But these have been renamed.

Now we have Football Manager Touch (previously Classic) and Football Manager Mobile (previously Handheld). So what's the difference between the two?

Touch and go

Football Manager Touch is only available on PC and high-end tablets. It is essentially Football Manager's "quick play" mode turned into a standalone game.

In other words, it's a streamlined version of the game. It's there for people who don't necessarily have the time to play the full simulation.

What's good about Touch is that it is cross-save compatible with Football Manager 2016. This means you can play the game in full on your PC and then pick up where you left off on your tablet when you're out and about.

Mobile management

As to Football Manager Mobile, well, that's a little more self-explanatory. This is the iOS and Android version of Football Manager as we've always known it.

Both Football Manager Touch and Football Manager Mobile should be out around Christmas time this year.

Touch will cost you £14.99 / $19.99 on tablet while Mobile will be £6.99 / $8.99.
