This thread has been linked to the game 'Football Manager 2005'.
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

The games just too easy for me now. I've been made favorites for everything and am first in everything as Arsenal. And as England I've won 17 straight games. It's only 2007.

Lol...the game isn't too hard with one of the top clubs that already have top stars. Try starting with a league one club or a league two club...then you'll know what hard is :P

I agree, but me winning 17 straight games with England, including Brazil, is stupid.

I was almost at the end of the season with Bradford City before my computer broke, so now it's gone and I'll have to start a new one, but I was 10th and a few points off the play offs with some half decent players and signing a few decent players at the end of the season on a free. That's one of the annoying parts, taking ages to offer everyone a contract when theirs are running out it takes you ages to do January and February because of it.
Argh. Stop talking about it, you're making me want it now.
I've been thinking about getting a new PC Game for quite a while but I can only get one that doesn't require alot a beasty PC cause I only have a average PC and a fairly good Laptop so FM2005 should be able to work on my Laptop but i'm not sure.
I got so addicted to Champ Man that I had to snap the disc in half to stop me playing it so much...only to find that my nan had got it for my Bday a couple of weeks later.

I and Mav are considering buying this, but Master League on Pro Evo 4 is taking up most of our gaming lives... And Splitters 3.
Splitters 3 is taking you time?! 22 hours later... 90.9% complete.
Anyhoo, just got back into FM05, back to winning ways too. I've got an awesome formation (433 + :D), and the board (Manchester United) have just uped my transfer allowance from 4.8 million to 32.5 million.
Roxor.
But it'll soon be back down to 3.5 million - Frey is coming in to replace Carroll (grrr) and Martins is coming in to replace... Well, Rooney, who is pretty crap.
Doing good though, top by a point just before Christmas...
...Come on you Devils!

I decided to buy this after thinking about it for the last month, I managed to get it cheap to - £10 + free p&p. I should have it by the weekend and I can't wait! The other day I tried getting back into CM4 but it just wasn't doing it for me because it is so dated but this game should be great and there will probably be updates for it throughout this year.
So, what are the main differences from CM4? I can't see it changing much apart from the updated teams.
When I get this i'll be installing it on my Laptop so I can play it downstairs while I sit on my ass watching TV. :D
And PES4 probably wont get played as much, but i'm not bothered because i've already played it to death (been playing PES4 non-stop since December).
If Championship Manager 2005's online mode was free I probably would have got that over this but seeing as it isn't I decided to choose the game that is overall the best.
