It certainly helps that it features some decent voice acting from a range of supporting characters, even if the dialogue can sound like it's trying a bit too hard to be down with the kids at times.
Indeed, there's a surprising air of realism here in the storytelling yes, it's obviously dramatised, but it's hard not to become immersed in Alex's potential rise to Premier League fame. This is a mode that could have very easily ended up being a complete cringe-fest, but it actually feels authentic to some degree.
Right from the off, it's clear that a lot of time and effort has been pumped into The Journey. Put in a good performance on a consistent basis and you'll keep your place in the starting eleven, for example, but make too many controversial - or 'fiery', as the game calls them - comments in post-match interviews, and the manager may start having second thoughts, even if the fans on social media think that you're top notch entertainment. The campaign itself is split up between training sessions, full competitive matches, and story scenarios as your actions both on and off the pitch determine how successful Alex's career turns out to be. Essentially, The Journey is Player Career, except you're playing as a preset character with a voice and personality.
