Football Manager 2017

Football Manager 2017 (abbreviated to FM17) is a football management simulation video game developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega. It was released on Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux on 4 November 2016.

Sub-Reddit
The Football Manager Sub-Reddit plays any version of Football Manager, but the one that the Reddit XI experiment is based on runs on Football Manager 2017.

Most of the published posts are on Football Manager 2017 or the Mobile version of the game, but it is likely that previous games like Football Manager 2016 or 2015 might show up, and Championship Manager 01-02 is a favourite among players.

Controversy
Despite Football Manager 2017 having favourable reviews on Metacritic and other reviews, however the game holds a "Mostly Negative" review score overall on Steam. This is mostly because of the Chinese players' outrage at there not being a language option that suited them, so they gave negative reviews.

But the Steam reviews might not be very reliable.

Mods
Modding and Football Manager go hand in hand, and the Reddit XI team is a fully modded team. Modding the game can be in various ways, editing the database with the official Football Manager Editor, or adding logo packs that enhance the realism of the game.

The Reddit XI team will be using both, as the team is created with the Editor by u/ilovelabradors, and logos and kits made by u/SportingCampeao. But the driving force is the ones that signed up to have their fictional players in the team, with names ranging from Bernát Lukasz to Ilove Nudes.

However some mods can be purely for fun.
