Just because you like the game doesn't mean the review is bad. I mean if you like Manager games then this game would probably be really good for you, but if not then you would have 0 interest in the game. For example, I love the NFL and enjoy playing football (yes, American!) and football videogames, but would I want to play the NFL Head Coach games? No way, because I'm not interested in doing the stuff that a head coach would.
Even the IGN UK review for the Football Manager game gave it some low scores in many areas(Sound 1, Graphics 3...), even though the Overall score was good.

| 5.0 | Presentation Same as last year but with a few nice new skins. Will always look like a flash spreadsheet. |
|
| 3.0 | Graphics The first time a ‘Graphics’ score is relevant for FM, and it fails badly with the new 3D match engine looking largely terrible. |
|
| 1.0 | Sound Basic crowd noises as ever. Put on your favourite CD instead. |
|
| 9.0 | Gameplay The winning formula from FM08 is still there, with some nifty new additions. |
|
| 9.5 | Lasting Appeal If you’re a fan of the series, it will take over your life, wreck your relationships and turn you into a social-life-less hermit. |
|
| 9.1 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
