Fifa Manager 2007 Computer Game

Advantages: Super impression of being a football manager
Disadvantages: Fairly addictive game once started.

...FIFA Manager 2007 (PC) Introduction Here the game involves starting off as a new manager for a club of your choice. There are so many British, European, and other International sides to manage. The game involves almost every aspect of managing a football side. This game is not an action sports game like FIFA 08, this simply involves managing a football club. The choice of which team to manage, is yours. Upon starting a manager is given a budget to work with, fan's and the club's directors expectations level to meet. The ambition of a team such as Manchester United or Chelsea would usually be to finish in the top 3 of the league or to win the Premier League in that season, or win the Champions league etc. If failing to meet these expectations, or losing too many matches, the manager is sacked. If people do well, people can...

Yellow Jersey of bike games (Pro Cycling Manager (PC))

Advantages: Great graphics, huge amount of options
Disadvantages: Steep learning curve

...I have always been a fan of Sports Management games ever since growing up with Championship Manager on the Amiga. I saw this game advertised on Steam and decided I would like a look at it. Having downloaded it through Steam I cannot comment on the box, however I will assume that the manual is the same as the PDF one available through Steam. Interface ----------- The game looks good from the start with bright colours and predominantly yellow (it is after all endorsed by the Tour de France). The initial menu takes you through the options well and directs you to the right starting point. Gameplay ------------- Gameplay is split into 2 parts, the management of your team and the actual races. The management section feels weighty with a host of options including purchasing equipment, organising training camps, selecting...

Football manager on computer

Advantages: Good controlling options
Disadvantages: graphics could be improved

...Football manager 2008, i throughly enjoyed this game. I feel that it gives you a good choice of players and countries and clubs to manage and look at. It had almost up to date information, it was missing some of the latest players but beggars cant be choosers. The game allows to to make transfers, i feel that the clubs dont sell the players as easily as they normally would. - What's New? - When comparing this game to Football Manager 2007 and it's predecessors; there are a number of key changes that have been brought in for this latest edition of the game which I love so dearly. Before I purchased the game, the one which stood out to me most notably was the addition of 'FaceGen Technology'. This new addition for the game means that players generated by the computer are given faces, faces which with time age before your eyes...

The football management game

Advantages: 3D match engine, all players in the world are available, better than LMA manager
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 wanted to play in another countries' league(s) you would have to hope that that country or club makes you an offer to manage them. If not you will be stuck with only being able to take over teams in the country that you have selected. Many fans...

Does This Manage To Improve On This Already Great Series?

Advantages: Great Game With The New 3D Engine And Other Improvements
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 laptop is not up to specification and doesn't have the speed to keep up with the new engine, then this will be a big let down, as one of my friends has to use the 2D engine only due to the age of his computer. But, if you do have a new-ish computer...

Championship manager 5 was completely ruined by a few bugs.

Advantages: Easy to navigate around the game.
Disadvantages: lots of bugs in the game ruins the enjoyment

...Totally blew my mind for like the first 3 months as i was glued to my pc, however as soon as 1 problem occured it was quickly followed by several more which (in my opinion) made it impossible to play. I am a huge fan of Football management games but championship manager 5 was a huge disappointment for me and a few of my freinds who also purchased the game. The problem with the game is that it is full of 'bugs' by which i mean faults such as after 1 season of winning the treble with Arsenal my fans all hated me and wanted me gone, then when i went to play ac milan in a cup match all my players were for some reason ineligible to play and so the game drafted up players who werent part of my squad to play for me (i lost). For these reasons i felt this game was a let down however do not let this put you off the other games in...

  Your chance to live the life of a Football Manager

Advantages: Highly enjoyable, Considerably updated from last years offering
Disadvantages: You'll have to forget any chance of a social life

...3006/3007 season if you so wish (although that could take you a while). You play as yourself rather than a currently existing manager and so you are allowed to build up your own preferred tactical style and your reputation will develop in the game due to your own individual merit which is always rewarding to see when off your own back your reputation as a manager spreads worldwide and you start getting offered international management chances in all corners of the globe. A great element of the game is the ability to have as many managers as you like meaning that you can battle it out against family members such as siblings and parents - there's nothing greater than the thrill of beating your Dad's side away from home. Obviously if you're going to do this you will both need to sit at the computer at the same time so it could get frustrating...

Racing team manager is good, but needs a polish

Advantages: The best management game out there, some nice ideas.
Disadvantages: Some F1/manging knowledge required, feels unfinished, unrealistic where it counts

...created entirely new one for themselves. This allowed me to enjoy the game more, as i didn't have pre-set preferences about who won. My computer used for gaming isn't connected to the internet, so I can't make any comments on multilayer, or on patches to improve the game. Single player starts off like most management games, you can take over an existing team, or start a new one. As I didn't know what i was doing, I started a new one, so I could build everything up from scratch. You can choose your team name, logo and nationality to make it feel like your own. You also get to chose from a list of drivers to get who will driver for you. The ability of the drivers varies quite a bit, allowing you to choose depending on where about you want to be in the field of cars. After this, you're taken through a few menu's telling you the regulations...

Football Manager 2009 - Greatest football game of all time!

Advantages: Very addictive game and expand your knowledge of football.
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 realistic aspect of the game is the transfer prices and contract wages, also the fact that your club can get taken over is a bonus as well as you can get approached by national teams or other club teams that are interested in your services...

Championship Manager 01/02

Advantages: The greatest managerial game ever!
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...When the Premiership was born back in 1992, it soon became one of the biggest leagues in the world?then all of a sudden, it gave birth, theoretically, to one of the biggest computer games in the world?that being of course, Championship Manager. Being a student with plenty of time on his hands!! I recently brushed the dirt of this version of the game from the 2001/2002 season from Sports Interactive's Championship Manager series for the PC - argued by many as being one of the best versions, despite it's lack of graphical improvement from the previous season?this time round though the gameplay seems to be better. First off, and something that affects the game most of all, is that Championship Manager 01/02 implements the new regulated EU transfer system, that comes into play about a month after you begin - meaning basically that...
