Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:: In a nutshell: Ron Managers of the world rejoice – the best football management game in the world just got better. From the original creators of Championship Manager comes the most in-depth and realistic strategy simulation ever seen.
The lowdown: Having already got the balance between complexity and accessibility pretty much spot on, most of the improvements in this latest sequel are designed to make the game feel more organic and believable. A lot of it is simple stuff like being able to conduct team talks and see how players are responding to your dressing room dress downs, but it really makes a difference. It’s also possible for major clubs to sign up smaller ones as feeder clubs, while players themselves have a greater level of personality and new signings can be asked to recommend other players. None of the new changes have a massive impact on the way you play the game, but they all serve to create an even more immersive reality.
Most exciting moment: The scouting engine has also received a major revamp and makes searching for new stars a lot easier. The scouts you send out can now learn from their experiences and a new scout report card makes it easier to get a quick overview while you do your superstar shopping.
Since you ask: This version of the game still doesn’t have anything approaching moving graphics and its unlikely that’s ever going to change. The interface has been greatly improved though so that it’s not only easier to use but also faster and smoother.
The bottom line: The best football management game ever made.-HARRISON DENT

Football manager is a great game with great graphics but it's got problems.
The manual with the game is really confusing. You have to bounce around about 10 pages to find out how to be a nation, and it still doesn't tell you!
In game is really weird. teams like LSKA (Sofia) and other unheard teams are beating teams like Arsenal and Chelsea 10-0.
Finally, most rich teams like Barcelona have such small amounts of money. Barcelona have 3.48m!
A good overall game but get ready for problems. Still Highly reccommended.

I have spent just over one real time month in playing time in the last two years! While qualifying as value for money, it will consume your life! Even now I am finding small complexities I can change to assist in destroying the opposition, vast detail and attention to detail!

It's simple. You take charge of your favourite team, adopt a good formation, moral is high, you win your fist few games (home and away), you twiddle the tactics, and you think you are doing a great job. Your sitting top.
Then the game shows its true colours and the CD goes through the shredder. And here's why....
1. Results are pre-determined. You can play a team, at home, clear favourites, 40 times using every single tactic on the game, and you will still loose. How the game can call itself realistic when a team 2nd can get whipped 5-0 by a team 15 places below you with poor moral is beyond me. And not just once, twice, or three times, this happens most of the season.
2. Penalties. Be prepared to give one away ... Read More:

I started off on the original champ manager series which has now evolved into the FM series. If you watch, play and talk footy this is the game for you!
In this game you basically manage any team in any leage (or nation) that you choose. Your management board will have objectives for the year which they expect you to accomplish. Buy or sell players, change team strategy and build your squad to meet these objectives. Do whatever you want but just like in the real football world, winning is what counts!
This is highly addicitve game with so many features and characteristics that you could spend hours just working on tactics for your team. I simply cannot put this game down and have to force myself to stop playing.

I can remember when I got my first ever manager game. It was Premier Manager '98, and when I first had the premise explained to me on Christmas morning, I couldn't believe how boring it sounded. So you don't even play the game? You just pick the team and watch it? In my infinite wisdom, that all 11 year olds have, I genuinely thought that was the lamest excuse for a plot that a computer game had ever come up with.
That game turned out to be one of the most important parts of my life for the next four years.
I was hooked, I never even watched the games because I couldn't wait that long to find out if we had won or not. I just switched it to `results' mode and powered through a season in half an hour.
That game ... Read More:
