    4 Stars Waste your life for virtual glory. FM 2009 20/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great level of detail, fantasticly addictive and satisfying to play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Your family may forget you, tedious if your not 100% into it

    Many years ago, somewhere around 1996, I bought a computer magazine. This wasn't something I was prone to doing, but I'd just got a new PC and I liked the look of a couple of things on the free cover disc. I soon got bored of these freebies and installed a couple of the demo games. I couldn't tell you what any of these games were, except for one..... Championship Manager 2. Since that life defining moment I have spent many hours in front of computer screens attached to that game and those that followed it. I've suffered the frustrations of having a great winning streak, signing lots of good ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very addictive game and expand your knowledge of football.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May take over your life.

    Football Manager 2009 is a life like football managerial game. This year’s game is the best yet and the all new 3D pitch gives the game the edge over its competitors. After playing many football games including, Champion Manager 2009, PES 2009 and FIFA 2009, I firmly believe that football manager is the best by a long way. Football manager 2009 is a new era of managerial gaming and is as close as many of us will get to manage a football club. From training, scouting, press conferences, player talks, match day talks, contract negotiations etc football manager 2009 offers it all. Another ... more

    5 Stars The football management game 18/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 3D match engine, all players in the world are available, better than LMA manager

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes strange results like team in 1st place being beaten by team in 24th

    Football manager 2009 has continued the football manager series with the same features and layout of the game as the past versions, but this time features a new 3D match view. The game has many good features that would make me more willing to buy this game over the biggest competitor, LMA Manager 2009. Firstly, the game can be installed very quickly, and you can choose the countries and the leagues who wish to play in, or buy players from. For example, if you only wanted to play in the English leagues, you can do so by only entering the English leagues to play in, however if you then in future ... more

    5 Stars Does This Manage To Improve On This Already Great Series? 14/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Game With The New 3D Engine And Other Improvements

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3D Engine May Not Work On Lower End Computers

    Football Manager 2009 is the annual follow-up to the 2008 version, and well let me just start by saying that this sis one of the biggest updates ever. Yes, the time has finally come for the introduction of the 3D match engine, and let me tell you, life is good. This has been one of the major issues with the football managers of the past, as many couldn't really 'feel' the match when watching it played by a bunch of circles, although admittedly I did like those little circles and I have always enjoyed watching the matches themselves. But I will start with a word of warning, if your computer or ... more

    3 Stars Too much anticipation 09/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages still addictive, huge database

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3D engine glitchy, much harder to play, injuries problem

    Another football manager settlement, but this one was full of expectations. I first saw the trailer and I was eager to play this game with the 3D match engine. When it finally came out, I was kind of shock how the game has been transform to. Firstly, the 3D match engine was suppose to be the finest new feature in FM 09. I agree is beautiful to watch the 3D guys running around but only if you computer CAN support this 3D acceleration. Don't think that you can run FM 09 in any PC where you ran FM 08. It require a much faster PC to be able to correctly run this feature. Multitasking merely become ... more

    Football Manager 2009 is very addictive game where you control almost any professional football team you can think of, as well as many others.

    5 Stars Quick review of Football Manager 2009 (PC) by donnywhite82 23/05/2009
    The latest in a series of Football Management games from Sports Interactive. Personally i have always enjoyed the FM series, and this years edition is no different. Theres new features and all the olds ones still there too. Parent and Feeder clubs is still a great and important tool. The graphics are good, although still no photos for premiership teams. The new and biggest feature is a 3D match engine. For me this is a great benefit, and has really imrpved the game, if however you like the old 2D one, well thats still there too.
