Football teams are always hard to manage, even harder when you have only limited resources to do so with.
This is the major problem with the new release of Football Manager Handheld 2010.
The video game has actually been quite successful in the more dominant gaming consoles, but the handheld version of the game has been highly criticized for its restricted capabilities and the lack of depth you can go into as a manager.
In total you have only 11 countries to choose from, almost all from Europe, except for Australia and Brazil.
The good thing about the game is that they have kept the consistency with club sides. For example if you choose to manage Arsenal, you will be armed with a huge checkbook but also inherit high expectations in terms of results.
On the other hand, if you decide to manage a third-tier team, your budget will be a fraction of what it would be with Arsenal, but your expectations are much less.
In the traditional Football Manager you would be given many more resources to analyze your team with, such as comprehensive feedback forms and better training facilities to improve player performances.
In the scaled down version, there is much less to use, and you will soon find yourself limited in what you can actually do.
All in all the handheld version of the game is pretty good to play on a PSP, but for anything else, it is only average.
