I'm a man (allegedly!!), I'm 27 years old and I know that 10-15 years ago a large chunk of my days were spent playing the Championship Manager series on our old PC. I generally try to steer clear of generalisations but I think it would be a safe assumption to suggest that a large proportion of my peers nowadays did the same and would probably raise a smile if I mentioned the names Cherno Samba, Freddy Adu or Ibrahim Bakayoko....... Nowadays as a father, husband, and City worker those days of buying/selling players and winning the Premier League with your favourite team are behind me. Or are they?..... Football Manager (the new name for CM) ...  Read the complete review

I am the first one to admit that I have an addictive personality, but seriously this game really is addictive. I bought the first version of this game very cheap on ebay, I think it was about £4 all in and I loved it. I love it so much I then moved on to the up to date version. If you like your football and even slightly like management games then I promise you will love this. You will find yourself getting really involved with the game and sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the next goal to go in. You will also learn all about buying players on a free at the end of their contract to then sell them on for a couple of million, this is vital ...  Read the complete review

Ever wanted to be a football manager and pit your wits against teams in the league, cup, throughout Europe and internationally. Any football fan can dream that this might happen but invariably it never will.

There are so many options in this and things you can do with your team that you will always find something different. The amount of players you can choose from and the amount of  Read the complete review

Football manager is by far and away the best manager game there is. It is the most realistic and offers the most complete experience as you can control everything from training drills to finances and match-day press conferences. It is also the only game (in my opinion) that offers that addictive factor. By that I mean it is the only game that is so good you just always want to play just one more game ... the next thing you know it is 4 am and the missus has woken up to start the 4 hour ritual of putting on her make up. For all these reasons, I would definately rate this over any other manager games on the market. The only negative I would say is that the psp version ...  Read the complete review

There is not a football game at all that is better than the Football Manager series. There are a few slight differences beetween the PC version and the PSP version. 1. On the PSP version there are fewer leagues and countries to choose from .eg. on the PC version there is the blue square north and south leagues. But that does not matter really. 2. The PSP version has a 2D match engine compared to the 3D match engine of the PC version. And they are basically all there is different. The new features on this 2009 version on the PSP is throughout your career you are allowed to manage different clubs from different countries unlike the previous games where you have ...  Read the complete review
