FIFA Manager 09 (PC)

FIFA Manager 09 DVD for PC EA Sports It was my birthday last week and my wife bought me this game as she thought I had last year's version (08). I didn't, I had FIFA Manager 07, which I have to say I was not that impressed with, having owned all the previous incarnations and not liking last years much....all got a bit samey. This years version, helpful called 09, though released in 08 takes us through the 08/09 football season. Lets get the techie bit out the way.

Graphics ------------ The 3D match engine taken from the FIFA 09 game and put into this game is as always perfect, there is no freezing, no players that glide along the pitch seemingly not using their legs. The beautiful game is seen exactly as it should be. Sounds ------------ There's nothing like hearing the crowing roaring after your star striker bangs in a goal and that's exactly what you experience with FIFA Manager, the quality of the sound is amazing, recognizable football chants are used which creates a great lifelike atmosphere. Licenses ------ Arguably the best feature of this game is the player names and ...  Read the complete review
