A solid update: the only things missing are the lack of team talks and crowd sounds. [Christmas 2009, p.90]

Meristation

Fun, deep and engaging. Football Manager Handheld 2010 is the game for football sims lovers who own a PSP. It's not a huge step forward compared to 2009's version, but it's more polished and delivers what we expected it to.

Football Manager Handheld 2010 is the best soccer manager on PSP. It is inspired on the 2009´s version with some new features offering a better engine than ever. A new look on menus and a scout reports for every player. A little difficult for the casual players but our assistant manager can help to us in the first steps. A good game if you really love this genre.

Multiplayer.it

Football Manager Handheld 2010 is still the best football management simulation available on portable devices, but it didn't change that much since last year effort. Browsing via d-pad is still slow and cumbersome, while the visual simulation of the match is really awful.

No doubt David Moyes would love it. [Christmas 2009, p.117]

Play UK

Not the sort of game you get loads of enjoyment out of en route to work. [Issue#187, p.80]

GameSpot

This soccer management sim is fun for a while, but it's too simplistic and flawed to keep you playing until next season.

Few differences from last year. [Feb 2010, p.75]

PSFocus

Football Manager Handheld 2010 is a good game because there are no other competitors on the PlayStation Portable, but the gameplay isn’t really better than before. The PC version is better because of its major improvements. This PSP version is the same as last year without any improvements. Only the current real situation has been updated.

It's fun and the new skin is great! but if you can be bothered sitting watching a little device churn away for hours on end while you actually only get to select the team! I think the came is good but much more improvement is needed!!
