Nick Tylwalk

Though Nick's work life has taken him a little further away from writing about sports games than he'd like, he still spends as much time as possible with the latest sports sims. Mostly that means the Football Manager and OOTP series, though he's down to try almost any sports title that gets released for PC or consoles. Nick lives just a few minutes from Chocolatetown, a.k.a. Hershey, PA, with his wife, two kids and a tank full of hermit crabs. Now an avid Arsenal and Philadelphia Union supporter, Nick lives outside Hershey, PA with his wife and two children. He splits his Football Manager time between trying to guide the Gunners to Champions League glory and attempting to rise to the top of the soccer management world on multiple continents. Sims of other sports continue to catch his eye from time to time as well.

Unfortunately, the coronavirus outbreak has thrown a da...[Read More]

Our Review of Football Manager 2013 Still catering to the obsessed, but now with more to offer casual players. There’s no such thing as a worldwide holiday for fans of soccer sims (or football, if you prefer), but if there was, it would probably be the day a new iteration of the Football Manager series goes live. As it always does, Sports Interactive’s labor of love attempts to capture...[Read More]
