Is dangerously addictive, almost impossibly deep, and is a truly marvellous management spectacle.
It is also frustrating beyond words, often truly ridiculous and is a cause of premature mental instability.
I love Football Manager '05

im 'hoping' it doesn't need a decent graphics card?
Nah, the players are just little circles moving about aren't they?
But I would only get it if your Processor is 2Ghz+, as it takes a long time to simulate all the games, especially if you have 7 leagues open, like myself.
How else could I manage my local team, Lewes?

No better feling than getting an amaqzing player for free.
As Portsmouth I somehow managed to get Hernan crespo in the first transfer period. Somehow nabbed 4th placeand got knocked out by Real Madrid in the Champions League qualifying round. Love the game, very addictive but so so infuriating.

Yeah, I've been playing this for a while. Kinda stopped a few months ago but I was Wycombe and had managed to get myself to division 1 and avoid relegation there. My total game time was 3 days or something :P

Yep. It sure is addictive. Ive wasted 5 days 21 hours in my game, I mean almost 6 days of my life in this one game - crazy stuff :P.

The original post was basically based on my season so far with Lewes.
A relegation battle was expected, but I found myself top after about 14 games.
I then won a grand total of 1, yes A WHOLE GAME, for the rest of the season.
Well, I have 2 games to go, but I'll probably lose 'em anyway. 14th at the moment.

Hehe did you keep the same strategy when you started losing?
I had a lot of injuries, so I got my Coach to help me pick, and then just changed the odd player. I thought he knew what he was doing.
Oh yes, and I had a single 'keeper, which became a problem when he got injured :-(

The coaches for lower league teams are crap, never ever trust them.

Lol...yeah that could prove a problem. You should always have two keepers, even if you never put 1 on the bench he'll still be a good backup.
The thing about this game is that the tactics that made you win everything will not work the next season. The computer learns your tactics and finds out how to defeat it, it's genius.
