Surprised with all my searching for a good tennis sim that I've never heard of Tennis Elbow.
Also WMMA deserves a spot on the list, or they should have extended the list to 8 to give it space. WMMA5 is fantastic. Also highly underrated if you're looking for a fun career sim is Wolverine Studios' Total Pro Golf. |

FM kinda deserves being at #1. But for people who like fictional stuff, and costumization, I have to say OOTP is the greatest!

Just wanted to add to the kudos for Motorsport Racing. I've got over a 1000 hours into that one and am still playing (literally just now before I came here lol). And I knew absolutely nothing of F1 racing (though I did follow Nascar Racing quite a bit... wish there was a GOOD management sim of that one).
There is an early access game that looks like it will give MM a run for it's money though called Open Wheel Manager (I think, IIRC). In fact, it looks like it borrowed a lot from MM.

I do have to say Tennis Elbow Manager is a pretty good game, especially if you are a fan of Tennis. I do not know if I would put it ahead of OOTP, but I very much might put it third. Of course I might not even put FM ahead of OOTP. i understand why it might be 1, and there are even things in FM I would love to see incorporated in OOTP, but my favorite Sport's management game is definitely OOTP.

This article isn't listing them in 'best order', it's a mis-use of numbering.

I haven't played any others, probably because I don't like the respective sports. If any of the other titles aren't as customizable as OOTP is, they can't hold a candle to it in all honesty.

So I bought it based on your recommendation here... and it is a really good game! Thank you for turning me on to it. There is an early access (Steam) of Tennis Elbow 2 but I never buy Early Access games though I will keep my eye out for it if/when it releases. Do you know what Tennis Elbow 2013 is? Is that updated version of Tennis Elbow or is Tennis Elbow an updated version of TE 2013? Or are they different games?

I'm tempted to try out the esports game, although it looks like a different style management game than the others on the list.
FM and OOTP will always be my top 2. |

Tennis Elbow Manager uses that tennis match engine but you are the coach with a stable of players you train and enter into tournaments. |

I love tennis and baseball. Only 2 sports I really care about.

oh my, a differing opinion about the greatness of ootp...
that's only aimed at end-users and no one associated with making ootp. the makers aren't irrational and haughty about it. Also, not necessarily about the OP, but more about where the conversation went and reasoning. There's like '5' of these games that are decent. it's kinda hard to rank them when only 1 or 2+ exists per sport at best that's worth mentioning. this is a fringe portion of the market. no matter how much any of us enjoy any of these particular games in this style doesn't change the fact that it isn't very popular in the grand scheme, so arguing about popularity or rating at the lower percentiles is a bit pointless. a smaller sample of opinions will increase craziness seen. even though i enjoy ootp, i thought it was a total farce that this cult got it rated #1 game of the year not long ago. -- i'll be honest, i never looked into it. if it was #1 sports management game, sure... if it was #1 sports game or anything more general than that, no way was that rational.

Ah, Motorsport Manager has taken over my life the past month or so that I'm starting to feel like I'm cheating on OOTP lol.
OOTP is definitely better than MM though in my opinion, commissioner mode doesn't exist in MM and it really needs to |

If you do a search for MannaGames, they have a free demo you can download for Tennis Elbow 2013 if you want to try it first. Last edited by jeffw3000; 07-30-2019 at 04:41 PM. |

Truth will is, there are many great management sims out there. Starters Orders is a great Horse Racing management sim. Only a few sports lack a great PC management sim. American football, boxing, MMA and most notably basketball. |
