Football Manager 2009 (PC) Reviews

So the next title in this running series of Football Management games has come around. After 9 months of playing this game I feel I am in a great position to review it. Obviously, I think it's a pretty damn good game, or I wouldn't still be playing it, and I wouldn't have racked up the insane amount of hours that i have done on it. As with ...  Read the complete review

Football Manager 2009 is the most realistic and addidctive of the series so far. As well as the updated player and league information, it has new features such as pre/postmatch press confrences and the 3D pitch view. However with new security measures against piracy the installation process is longer and more confusing that it has ever been! ...  Read the complete review

There is defininatly something to be said for football management sims and this, without doubt, tops the lot. You can literally spend hours immersed in an emotive rollercoaster that is football - i've more than on the odd occasion found myself hurling abuse at the computer screen as a last minute goal pries a trophy from my grasp. Time flys by ...  Read the complete review

The guys at Sega have done it again! Year on year, this game just keeps evolving. The game is so realistic and the introduction of the new 3D engine adds a sense of realism and visual experience that was missing from previous incarnations. Thankfully the interface is pretty much the same as previous versions and its intuitive nature means that ...  Read the complete review

The latest football manager does more than simply update the transfers and leagues. The brand new 3D engine has been long awaited by the fans of Sports Interactive's premier franchise, the new addition however does not impress as much as one would expect. The 3D system appears clunky and incomplete, add into this a brand new interface for the ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that I am a big Football manager fan, always have been and always will be. This year's new feature is the 3D live match engine which is a great idea and is a fantastic thing. I think its a case of too little too late though. This feature was capable of being rolled out about 3 years ago. Every year I buy this ...  Read the complete review

Every year I buy Football Manager 2009 and every year I'm impressed. The simple reason for this is that each year it only tinkers with the product rather than making wholesale changes meaning it's more Manchester United than Chelsea! Football Manager 2009 is no different. Whether you want to manage Rochdale United or Barcelona the chice is ...  Read the complete review

This is the latest in the series of Football Manager games which has evolved slowly but gradually in some ways. The tactics, training, scouting and interaction are all geared up nicely while the interface is still user friendly in several different ways depending on how you like to play (if you click everything or you use function keys ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge football fan and when it comes to playing computer games these are usually the first ones I pick up. However, I've chose to ignore playing the 'football manager' or 'championship manager' games for years. The main reason for this is that they look too complicated and used to come with an instruction book about an inch thick. I have ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that I was addicted to the previous Football Manager (08). Yet I never got anywhere, always playing a few seasons and always restarting. This year I planned to take it seriously. I must note that I like to play as lower league teams (e.g. Rushden) but started off the year as MK Dons (league 1). I became hooked, however one thing I ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game as soon as it came out. I have had all Championship Managers and have now moved across to the Footaball Managers. What can i say this has to be the best ever Football Manager game i have played ever on PC, The game is exactly how i would imagine Football Management in reall life as you can talk to seperate players about ...  Read the complete review

Football Manager 2009, what can you say, well it just as good and addictable as it's always been. There are a few new features, one of the main ones being you can see the actual game played rather than just text on the screen. It has all of the latest updated player details and stats with an easy to use interface. You can choose many different ...  Read the complete review

Well the biggest and best is back! But is this still the best? Upon inserting the disk you go through all of the usual installation and sit getting the buzz waiting for the game to finish installation and finally let you set about tearing apart and re-shaping your team but with this new version you do have to go through Steam (an online ...  Read the complete review

Football Manager 09...Well I'm new to the cult phenomenon that is Football Manager having only started with the 08 series of the game and very very quickly becoming addicted. It is reported on various websites that Football Manager or its predecessor Championship Manger have been cited as reasons for divorce. Now if you have never played be ...  Read the complete review

Another year another Football Manager, and everytime is just as brilliant as the last. The introduction of a 3D match engine, without taking away the historic 2D highlights and commentary only functions is great, and even better news its just as addictive as it has ever been. Having only recently purchased it I am still very much in ...  Read the complete review

one of the most addictive games of the century, football manager 2009 is an absolute 100% must have for any football fan who likes to question his teams managers selection. the amount of content ready for the user is immense, from pre/haltime and post match team talks, contract negotiations and scouting networks, these are just a small amount of ...  Read the complete review

Football manager 2009, or by fans.. called fm09, is probably the best game in the series and funnily enough im in my 3rd season in window mode as aston villa typing this review. I'll start off saying that if you didnt like any of the football managers before, you wont like this one, the core game is still the same as any other football ...  Read the complete review

Every year I look forward to Football Manager and every year I confuse myself... I dont know what it is about Football Manager, every year it comes out there is very little difference to the previous years, yet I still love it. Football manager 2009 gives us what we expect of every football manager game, a simulation of many boys dream jobs, our ...  Read the complete review

I don't purchase many football managing games. The problem being that they would do better just to allow you to download a yearly update with new team layouts, player stats, players etc. Why they make you pay full whack for a brand new version of the game each year is pure greed. Nothing much changes from year to year although this time ...  Read the complete review

Well its another game that hits the really hardcore football/soccer fans, giving customers an ultimate experience of managing their favourite football teams and players around the world. As always it's been a big anticipated game from the start and on opinion does this game let down in departments that have been improved form the last ...  Read the complete review
